The correct statement is :
He told me a story.
The error is in the word 'to'.
* The given word 'told' is a transitive verb and so it requires an object directly after it.
It shouldn't be followed by any preposition.
* In this case, there are two objects- 'me'( direct object) and 'story'( indirect object).
* In case of the word 'say' or 'said', direct object is not always necessary and can be followed by a preposition.
