"The boy recounted four versions of the same story".

Right now, I've written "حكا الصبي أربع نسخ نفس الرواية" but I know its wrong in some way I can't recall. How would we say this?

Answer

That's right and you have another wotds carry the same meaning to the word' recount' سرد، قص،روى.

Answer

the translation has some mistakes. first of all, the word nusakh means copies and not version/ material copies (although it appears in many dictionaries as versions, this would be true as a version of an OS or a new edition of the book, etc...). The translation also includes spoken and literal arabic words which sounds not natural. 
روى الصبي القصة بأربعة أشكال مختلفة - روى الصبي أربع قصص مختلفة
the second  (the boy told 4 different stories) needs to be contextualized in order to be understood as versions.
