I have a code ~~

void talk(void)

{
if (&story == 3)
{
freeze(1);
freeze(&current_sprite);

say_stop("Hello.", 1);
wait(100);
say_stop("`2Welcome to the 'Sword and Axe'", &current_sprite);
wait(100);
say_stop("Sounds like a nice name.", 1);
wait(100);
say_stop("Do you sell weapons now?", 1);
wait(100);
say_stop("`2If you had read the sign you will know that i dont.", &current_sprite);
wait(100);
say_stop("`2Economy is really bad for me.", &current_sprite);
wait(100);
say_stop("`2I sold everything, with my table!", &current_sprite);
wait(100);
say_stop("I see, i will come later!", 1);
wait(100);
sp_dir(1,2);

unfreeze(1);
unfreeze(&current_sprite);
}

{
if (&story == 4)
{
freeze(1);
freeze(&current_sprite);

say_stop("Hey, im back and i have some news!", 1);
wait(100);
say_stop("`2Tell me them.", &current_sprite);
wait(100);
say_stop("Giff want's you to do thw weapon as soon as possible!", 1);
wait(100);
say_stop("I guess he wants to do something outside this land!", 1);
wait(100);
say_stop("`2If he gives me some money i can!", &current_sprite);
wait(100);
say_stop("Ok, i will tell him. No promise though.", 1);
wait(100);
say_stop("`2 200 Gold is enough i belive.", &current_sprite);
wait(100);

unfreeze(1);
unfreeze(&current_sprite);

&story = 5;
}
}

When i run it, the 2nd part with the story 4 doesnt work! It just does nothing! WHY?
