There are two ways to do it:
Paste it either into the biography or to a free space page you make for the document. You could then link from your g-grandfather's profile to the free space page.
Save the document as a PDF file and upload it to your g-grandfather's profile, as if it were an image file. That will show as the pdf icon on your g-grandfather's profile and anyone can click it to open the pdf file and read it.

Depending on length, it can either just be copied into the profile or you may want to create a Free Space page to contain it. Another alternative is to put the story into a PDF file and attach it as a file.to the profile.
