Tell us what’s happening:

Hello everyone, sorry to bother, I am a self learner and Im starting to get stuck often with these DOM concepts.
As the task asks Im calling displayStory function in the event listener passing the right argument for each button.

What am I doing wrong? I tried so many times but doesn’t work, it just shows story of the first story and when I click on other buttons, nothing happens.
Thank you in advance
