Example to narrative text :
Cinderella
Once upon a time there lived an unhappy young
girl. Her mother was dead and her father had married a widow with
two daughters. Her stepmother didn't like her one little bit. All
her kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own daughters.
Nothing was too good for them - dresses, shoes, delicious food, soft
beds, and every home comfort.

But, for the poor unhappy girl, there was
nothing at all. No dresses, only her stepsisters’ hand-me-downs. No
lovely dishes, nothing but scraps. No rest and no comfort. She had
to work hard all day. Only when evening came was she allowed to sit
for a while by the fire, near the cinders. That’s why everybody
called her Cinderella.
Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone
talking to the cat. The cat said, . Miaow. , which really meant, .
Cheer up! You have something neither of your stepsisters has and
that is beauty.. It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in old
rags, was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how
splendid and elegant their clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy and
ugly and always would be.
One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the
house. A ball was to be held at the palace and the stepsisters were
getting ready to go. Cinderella didn't even dare ask if she could go
too. She knew very well what the answer would be: . You? You're
staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the floors and turn down
the beds for your stepsisters. They will come home tired and very
sleepy.. Cinderella sighed, . Oh dear, I'm so unhappy!. and the cat
murmured . Miaow..
Suddenly something amazing happened. As
Cinderella was sitting all alone, there was a burst of light and a
fairy appeared. . Don't be alarmed, Cinderella,. said the fairy. . I
know you would love to go to the ball. And so you shall!. . How can
I, dressed in rags?. Cinderella replied. . The servants will turn me
away!.
The fairy smiled. With a flick of her magic
wand Cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress she
had ever seen. . Now for your coach,. said the fairy; "A real lady
would never go to a ball on foot! Quick! Get me a pumpkin!. . Oh of
course,. said Cinderella, rushing away. Then the fairy turned to the
cat. . You, bring me seven mice, and, remember they must be alive!.
Cinderella soon returned with the pumpkin and
the cat with seven mice he had caught in the cellar. With a flick of
the magic wand the pumpkin turned into a sparkling coach and the
mice became six white horses, while the seventh mouse turned into a
coachman in a smart uniform and carrying a whip. Cinderella could
hardly believe her eyes.
Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball
until she heard the first stroke of midnight! She remembered what
the fairy had said, and without a word of goodbye she slipped from
the Prince. s arms and ran down the steps. As she ran she lost one
of her slippers, but not for a moment did she dream of stopping to
pick it up! If the last stroke of midnight were to sound... oh...
what a disaster that would be! Out she fled and vanished into the
night.
The Prince, who was now madly in love with her,
picked up the slipper and said to his ministers, “Go and search
everywhere for the girl whose foot this slipper fits. I will never
be content until I find her!”
So the ministers tried
the slipper on the foot of every girl in the land until only
Cinderella was left.
That awful untidy girl simply cannot have
been at the ball,. snapped the stepmother. . Tell the Prince he
ought to marry one of my two daughters! Can't you see how ugly
Cinderella is?. But, to everyone. s amazement, the shoe fitted
perfectly.
Suddenly the fairy
appeared and waved her magic wand. In a flash, Cinderella
appeared in a splendid dress, shining with youth and beauty.
Her stepmother and stepsisters gaped at her in amazement,
and the ministers said, "Come with us Cinderella! The Prince
is waiting for you." So Cinderella married the Prince and
lived happily ever. As for the cat, he just said "Miaow!"
