 EXAMPLE OF
NARRATIVE TEXT the lion and the mouse

When he was awakened by a tiny Mouse running across his body, a mighty
Lion was sleeping in his lair. The lion then grabbed the frightened mouse
with his huge paws and opened his mouth to swallow him directly.
"Please, King," begged the Mouse, "Spare me this time and of course I will
never forget your kindness. Someday I may be able to repay you. "The
Lion thought that it was such an amusing idea that he let the poor
creature go.
Sometimes later the Lion was caught in a net laid by some hunters. Despite
his great strength, the Lion could not break free. Soon the forest echoed
with angry loud roars.

The Little Mouse heard the Lion and ran to see what was wrong. As soon
as he succeeded to make the Lion free "There!" said the Mouse proudly, "
You laughed at me when I promised to repay your kindness, but now you
know that even a tiny Mouse can help a mighty Lion."

Moral of the story: Little friends may prove to be great friends. Friend in
need is a friend indeed.
