Reading the perfect story, and in this case paragraph, is exactly the same thing. We all know a burger from it’s bun, but what makes it delicious is what we find inside. A careful balance of each ingredient. If we forget one the bun might be too dry, too moist, too meaty or not meaty enough, and then we may lose interest.
