End vs. ending

[Van Khanh]

Please tell me the difference in meaning btw:

a/ The end of the story.
b/The ending of the story.

thanks

I don't see any difference in your sentences. End unlike ending has more meanings

I'd say that ending tends to have a more direct connection to the story itself and how it ends.
