The use of storytelling for instruction has been advocated for long. But whether the use of a story during a lecture actually results in an improvement in students’ learning? This article tries to find an answer to the question by using a story titled “Demons’ Treasure” for teaching the topic of “Expected Return and Risk on Investments”. The study is based on a sample of 47 students who were divided randomly into a control group (which was taught without the use of story) and an experimental group (which was taught with the use of story). Students’ learning was assessed through a subject based quiz. It was found that the use of story did not bring any significant change in quiz scores of the two groups but it did make the lecture interesting and brought other desired outcomes that may be considered essential for making their learning wholesome.
