What's the difference between story and plot?

I kow what is

I just can't put it on words

Story is the gist of what happens.
Plot is how the story all unfolds.

Story is events explained as time goes on, plot is more of an emphasis on the causality of each event to the next.

The plot is what actually happens, while the story is the parts of the plot that you emphasize to make it cohesive.

The Russian Formalists wrote about this.

"One of the most famous dichotomies introduced by the mechanistic Formalists is a distinction between story and plot, or fabula and "sjuzhet". Story, fabula, is a chronological sequence of events, whereas plot, sjuzhet, can unfold in non-chronological order. The events can be artistically arranged by means of such devices as repetition, parallelism, gradation, and retardation."
