this is difficult for me.

Now I'm telling my stories to you and it is raining outside.

"I will tell my stories to you until it stop raining."

according to webster dictionary 1913, it explains until' can be used as a meaning like "as far as".

You can use replace "until it stop raining" with "until it rains"in the context?

Your first sentence should be I will tell my stories to you until it stop s raining. If you change it to 'until it rains' you are giving it the opposite meaning. It is not raining now and you will tell stories until it starts raining.
