Story
Talk, Speech, Conversation
noun
The kanji version of 話 means talk. This word also means talk, but it means a few other things as well. This can refer to a speech or story as well. Basically anything that involves a talking session. So, before you go, I hope you stay awhile and listen to my 話.
Hey, tell that story about the time you met the 花-sheep (はなし). You know — the sheep that had 花s growing out of it instead of wool. No one else here has ever met a 花-sheep, so I bet they'd all love to hear your story.
