Paraphrasing in a method of restating what has been written. In other words (see here, I'm paraphrasing what I just said), it could be telling the story in your own words.

This is from Wikipedia, but it looks good to me:

"A paraphrase (from the Greek paraphrasis) is a statement or remark explained in other words or another way, so as to simplify or clarify its meaning. It can be used as a replacement for a direct quotation when the original text is unavailable or under copyright restriction. A paraphrase can substitute a euphemism for a direct statement, in order to avoid offense. As with a quotation, a paraphrase is introduced by a verbum dicendi, or disclaimer. A paraphrase is sometimes marked with (ph).

"Characteristics of a well-done paraphrase
It is not a summary.
It does not contain most of the words or phrases from the original (plagiarism).
It includes all minor details from original.
The meaning of the writing being paraphrased is clearer to the reader than in the original text.
It restates the thesis.
It is usually longer than the original. "

Find the meaning of the sentence. Reword it.

Or.... do your own research.

Read it. Understand it. Then put it in your own words.

Do it yourself. You're not learning anything by cheating and you're really just cheating yourself.
