how do you learn a story?

i would say the best (and way i prefer) to learn a story, is to read a book while listening to that book on tape, and using my hands for sock puppets. they eat the pages to turn the pages ,and it's a full three dimensional experience. when the sock puppets (which are my hands) turn the pages, they make a high-pitched, unnecessary and overly goofy little voices of "mmmmmmm!" like they really think that page is tasting really good while they're turning the pages, and that part kind of gets annoying after a while cuz' we're like "yeah, yeah we know..." and you kinda get jealous because then you try it, eating the paper yourself is not nearly as good as the sock puppet makes it sound. or you could watch a movie with sub titles.
