To summarize anything, you need to start with a list. Jot down everything that you think was essential to the story -- if you can leave something out and still have the story make sense, it's not essential. Next, go through your list and make complete sentences with proper grammar. That's your summary.

Here's an example: The Three Pigs, a fairy tale.

Essential: 3 pigs built 3 houses to protect them from the wolf who was trying to eat them, 2 pigs were lazy and made houses out of flimsy stuff, 1 pig took time to build a strong house, 2 lazy pigs got eaten (or ran away depending on the story you read), third pig caught the wolf and killed it

Not essential: 3 pigs are brothers, wolf huffed and puffed, 2 pigs played and danced, houses were made of sticks, straw, and brick

Summary: In this story, a wolf was after three pigs because he wanted to eat them. The pigs built houses to protect themselves. Two of the pigs were lazy and made houses that didn't hold up, and they got eaten up. The third pig took time and made a strong house that the wolf couldn't knock down. That pig caught the wolf and killed him.
