Plot is the sequence of events in a story. It tells what happens, when it happens, and how characters feel about it. Every plot usually has a beginning, middle, and end. For example, in 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears,' the plot starts with Goldilocks walking into the bears' house, then she tries their porridge, and finally, she runs away when the bears come home. This shows how the story unfolds and keeps us excited to read more!
