比如，在故事的开头说明某人对蜜蜂过敏，而在结尾处设置此人必须穿过一个蜂群去救别人一命的情节。

For example, a plant early in a story may reveal a person is allergic to bees and in the final act the payoff comes when they must pass a giant swarm of bees to save somebody.

而且我们认定一定会有结尾，除非讲故事的是那个，《天方夜谭》中的苏丹新娘，但是我们要问自己了，为什么故事一定要有经过呢？,故事的经过对于开头结尾来说起到什么作用呢？
