Describe a story someone told you and you remember
You should say:
What the story was about
Who told you this story
Why you remember it
And how you feel about it
•
I have heard many stories in my life.
•
I believe that storytelling is an art as old as civilization itself.
•
My grandmother used to tell me stories every night at bedtime.
•
All her stories were fun to hear
•
Some stories were fairy tales, some of princes and princesses and some were tales from the
Panchtantra, which had animal characters in them.
•
Most of her stories had some moral behind them
•
Here I would like to talk about a story, which she told me many times.
•
This is the story of the greedy dog.
•
Once upon a time there was a dog
•
He was very hungry.
•
He wandered here and there in search of food.
•
He got a juicy bone from a butcher’s shop.
•
He felt very happy.
•
He took the bone and ran away.
•
He reached on a bridge of a river.
•
He saw his own shadow in the water.
•
He thought that there was another dog with a juicy bone in his mouth.
•
His mouth watered and he wanted to snatch that bone from him.
•
He started barking on him and as he opened his mouth, the bone fell down from his mouth
in to the river.
•
The dog lost his own juicy bone.
•
He repented at his greed.
•
But, alas nothing could be done.
•
The moral of the story is that the greedy lose what they have.
•
Greed is a curse.
•
My grandma used to teach me values of life through these stories.
•
Now, I tell these stories to my niece and nephew when they come to my place.
•
They enjoy these stories a lot.
