The Fortune Teller

In the great city of Taipei,
there lived a man called Lin and
his wife. They had no children.
Because of this, they were very
unhappy. One day, they found a
baby boy outside their door. He
was wrapped in a blanket and
crying. They took the baby into
their house and called him Sau
Ling. They loved him very much.

When Sau Ling was a young man, a

fortune-teller came to the house. "You
must send your son away," he said.
"One day he will become a thief and
cause you a lot of trouble."
Mr and Mrs Lin were very sad to
hear this. They believed what the
fortune-teller said. They gave Sau Ling
some clothes and money and sent him
away.
Several years later, Sau Ling was
having a meal in an inn several miles
from Taipei. He put his bag on the floor
near his table. After finishing his meal,
he picked up his bag. "That's strange!"
he thought, "It feels so heavy."He

That evening, a young man

came to the inn, "Has anyone
seen my bag?" he asked. Sau
Ling was very honest. He
returned the bag to him. The
young man thanked him. "You
are really very honest," he said,
"I shall ask may to say. He left
the house without saying a word.
Mr and Mrs Lin never believed in
fortune-teller after that. Sau Ling
took them to live with him and
they were very happy and
contented until the end of their
lives.

Every text has its own structure. The

structure of narrative text consists of three
parts: complication, and resolution.
Orientation describes scene and introduces
the participants of the story. Complication
begins when there is a problem in resolution.
The structure of narrative text occurs in the
text variously. A text may have only one
complication and resolution but another text
may have more than complication and
resolution.
