Now, let's see the example of narrative text.
A Stupid Dog
A dog was feeling very proud of himself. He had found a big, juicy bone at the market. He quickly carried it in his mouth and ran off to find a place to eat it.
He came to a stream that had very clear water. It was a great time for him. He was thinking what a wonderful time he would have if he could eat the whole juicy bone by himself.
Suddenly he looked down into the water. He saw a dog staring at him. The dog also had a big bone in his mouth. He didn't know that the dog in the water was his reflection.
He thought, "That dog's bone looks bigger than mine. I'll grab his bone and run away as fast as I can!"
