what" the summary of the story "stairway"?

Question

STAIRWAY"

When I was two or three years old, I lived in a house that had a strange, atmosphere. I do not remember anything about the house except the stairway. It was dark, squeaking, and quite narrow, and its steps were a little high for me to climb up. From the bottom of the stairway, it seemed like an endless climb to the top. Beyond the darkness at the top of the stairway, there was an elegant, middle-aged lady leaning against the wall. I had to pass her every time I went to my room, for my room was the first room beyond the stairs on the second floor. The lady wore a beautiful dress with a quiet pattern and a tinge of blue, and her peaceful eyes stared at me every time I went up the stairs. As I carefully climbed up the last step, her eyes became fixed on me. She didn't talk, nor did she move. She just stood there and watched me clamber up the stairs. One day I touched her, but she did not react. Her face did not change expression, nor did she even blink. She just kept staring at me with her I glittering eyes. Later, we moved out of the house, and I never saw her again. Now I know that the lady was a mannequin. My aunt, who lived in the house, used it for her dressmaking class. I did not know my mother. Maybe imagined that the mannequin standing at the top of the stairs was my mother. The stairway with the strange atmosphere has an important place in my earliest memories.

Why is the story important to them?

Now string your answers together into a paragraph, and you have a five-sentence summary.

Summaries are all about distilling a story down into its most important information. If you want to do a little more practice, and learn how to ask the right questions/identify the right information, I would be happy to do a one-time lesson to go over the concept. That way, you can tackle summaries on future homework assignments.
