"Us and Them" meets the requirement to present memories of success in building a good story.

Explanation:

"Us and Them" by David Sedaris tells the narrator's memories during his childhood and in relation to a peculiar family that lived on his street, the Tomkeys.

The narrator reveals his memories of this family, his eccentricities and all the rumors that came up in the neighborhood regarding their behavior. The way the narrator tells his memories makes the story exciting and the reader is instigated to learn more about this family.

A story that manages to move the reader and his curiosity, leaving him motivated to read more and more is a good story, especially when there is such a great narration, without becoming tiring.
