It is like saying the books do not tell stories, writers do.

It is, but GP's point is pretty clear. Perhaps a better way to express it would be: unlike natural languages, programming languages are insufficiently expressive for the code to tell the full story. That's why books tell stories, and code is - at best - Cliff's Notes.
