EXAMPLE NARRATIVE TEXT :

(THE DUCKLING)
One upon time, a mother duck sat on her eggs. She
felt tired of sitting on them. She just wished the eggs
would break out.
Several days later, she got her wish. The eggs
cracked and some cute little ducklings appeared. "Peep,
peep" the little ducklings cried. "Quack, quack" their
mother greeted in return.
However the largest egg had not cracked. The
mother duck sat on it for several days. Finally, it cracked
and a huge ugly duckling waddled out. The mother duck
looked at him in surprise. He was so big and very gray.
He didn't look like the others at all. He was like a turkey.
 When the mother duck brought the children
to the pond for their first swimming lesson., the
huge grey duckling splashed and paddled about
just as nicely as the other ducklings did. "That
is not a turkey chick. He is my very own son
and quite handsome" the mother said proudly.

However, the other animals didn't agree.

They hissed and made fun of him day by day.
Even his own sisters and brothers were very
unkind. "You are very ugly" they quacked.
 The little poor duckling was very unhappy.
"I wish I looked like them" he thought to
himself. One day, the ugly duckling run away
and hid in the bushes. The sad duckling lived
alone through the cold and snow winter. Finally
the spring flowers began to bloom. While he
was swimming in the pond, he saw three large
white swans swimming toward him. "Oh, dear.
these beautiful birds will laugh and peck me
too" he said to himself. But the swans did not
attack him. Instead, they swam around him and
stroked him with their bills. As the ugly duckling
bent his neck to speak to them, he saw his
reflection in the water. He could not believe his
eyes. "I am not an ugly duckling but a beautiful
swam" he exclaimed.
 He was very happy. From that day on, he
swam and played with his new friends and was
happier than he had never been.
