Discord Bot sends text file line by line

I'm working on a discord command, that writes the whole text file into the chat line by line, and I tried making it but somewhy It doesn't work properly.

    file = open('story.txt', 'r')

    @client.command(alisases = ['readfile'])
     async def story(ctx):
        for x in file:
            await ctx.send(file)

It runs, but only writes these lines:

Picture

<_io.TextIOWrapper name='story.txt' mode='r' encoding='cp1250'>

You are sending the string representation of the file object rather than the lines in it.

You could do something like this:

@client.command(alisases = ['readfile'])
async def story(ctx):
    with open('story.txt', 'r') as story_file:
        for line in story_file:
            await ctx.send(line)

Also, it's a good practice to use the with open syntax as it assures that the file is being closed properly.
