is that possible to make pagination work as single item per page with navigation

Question

Controller code:

     public $paginate = [
        'Employers' => ['scope' => 'employer'],
        'Stories' => ['scope' => 'story',
                      'page' => 1,
                      'limit' => 1]
    ];

    public function index()
    {
        //load model
        $this->loadModel('Stories');

        // Paginate property
        $this->loadComponent('Paginator');

        // In a controller action
        $stories = $this->paginate($this->Stories, ['scope' => 'story']);
        $employers = $this->paginate($this->Employers, ['scope' => 'employer']);
        //pr($stories);
        $this->set(compact('employers', 'stories'));
    }

From that code must understand that the code looks as that is required but at same time i can't navigate further i also require code to run so i keep that clear code also put together code that would work according to single page but code require that code must put together a cycle that goes to next story entry without changing page that i display ie index.php.

View Code:

<div class="row">
<div class="large-8 columns" style="border-right: 1px solid #E3E5E8;">
<article>
    <?php
        foreach($stories as $story){

            echo '<hr><div class="row">
            <div class="large-6 columns">
            <p>'.$this->Html->image($story['image'].'.jpg', ['alt'=>'image for article']).'</p>
            </div>
            <div class="large-6 columns">
            <h5><a href="#">'.$story['title'].'</a></h5>
            <p>
            <span><i class="fi-torso"> By '.$story['creator'].' &nbsp;&nbsp;</i></span>
            <span><i class="fi-calendar"> '.$story['created'].' &nbsp;&nbsp;</i></span>

            </p>
            <p>'.$story['story'].'</p>
            </div>
            </div><hr>';
        }
    ?>

<ul class="pagination" role="navigation" aria-label="Pagination">
    <li class="disabled"><?php echo $this->Paginator->prev('  ' . __('previous')); ?></li>
    <!--<li class="current">1</li>
    <li><a href="#" aria-label="Page 2">2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" aria-label="Page 3">3</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" aria-label="Page 4">4</a></li>-->
    <li><?php echo $this->Paginator->prev(' >> ' . __('next')); ?></li>
</ul>
</article>
</div>

Code written makes pagination appear on the view but doesn't work when i click paginator.

That is possible follow code below to make that work.

    public $paginate = [

        'Stories' => ['scope' => 'story',
                      'limit' => 1,
                      ]
    ];

    public function initialize(): void
    {
        parent::initialize();
        $this->loadComponent('Paginator');
    }

    public function index()
    {
        //load model
        $this->loadModel('Stories');
        $this->loadModel('Sectors');

        // Paginate property
        $this->loadComponent('Paginator');

        // In a controller action
        $employers = $this->Employers->find('all');
        $sectors = $this->Sectors->find('all');
        $stories = $this->paginate($this->Stories->find('all', ['scope' => 'story']));
        //pr($sectorsandcourses);
        $this->set(compact('employers', 'stories', 'sectors'));
    }

Important factor that shows up is that we put limit to number of result to show up each instance.

is that possible to make pagination work as single item per page with navigation
