Once upon a time.
I think the 'story' each suit tells is better appreciated by previous knowledge acrued by Tarot studies and not as readily availible at the begining. However one could start by gatting a realisation of the overall flavour and intent of the suit. Then that story that the suit symbolises is modified, chapter by chapter by the number. To get this one needs to look at what the numbers represent, either by attributing them to their sephirothic placement or by the Naples arrangement from the Book of Thoth.
Eg, take Cups; the ace is pure expression, unity, and since we live in duality, it is a bit hard to understand, so the highest aspect we can understand of it is love, pure love that is. If we feel pure love (and not conditional or related to something else - like I love my husband, or I love a beer after work or whatever - just love in itself) then that spreads out and permeates our being and environment and we feel ourselves surrounded by an abundence of love. This leads on to the other numbers, and like any story it has its ups and downs and one state leads to another.
Or it can be a simpler strory without the philosophy. One can start backwards from the Knights quest and follow the cards back down to the root energy.
Have fun.
