Introduction, knot and outcome
The Narrative texts (stories, novels, stories) follow a logical order to present the events they relate. These texts usually order the events in sequences that make the narrative progress.
In general, narrative texts are structured in three parts:
Examples of introduction, middle and end
- THE THREE LITTLE PIGS
Introduction:
Once upon a time, there were three little pigs who went to live alone in the forest, after their mother suggested that they they were too old to continue living in their parents' house and that it was time to know the world.
So it was that, after walking for several hours, the three brothers found a space clear enough so that each could build their own house. The first one made it out of straw: he was in a hurry to finish it and go out to play. The second little pig didn't put too much effort on him either, he made his with some woods that he found and went to play with his brother. The third was the most hard-working and responsible. He built his house with bricks and mortar.
Knot:
Once the most responsible brother finished his house, he began to play with his brothers in the forest. The little pigs did not notice the presence of a wolf that, after spying on them behind a tree, took advantage of the moment in which the smallest one moved away from the rest to hunt him down.
But the latter, as soon as he saw him, fled to hide in his straw house. With barely blowing, the wolf knocked her down. At full speed, the little pig fled until hiding together with his brother in the wooden house. But, after giving him a few kicks, the wolf also managed to bring down this house.
Desperate, the two escaped from the wolf's clutches and took refuge in the brick house, along with their older brother. The wolf tried to knock her down, but was not as lucky as before. The house remained intact despite the blows and blows that the wolf dedicated to it.
Fed up with these failed attempts, the wolf decided to climb up to the roof and get into the house through the chimney. The brothers, attentive to the noises, boiled water in a pot and left it at the foot of the fireplace, waiting for what they supposed to happen. Thus, when the wolf threw himself, he fell headlong into the pot.
Outcome:
Desperate, the wolf fled the house screaming.
The two younger brothers hugged the older pig and thanked him for building such a firm little house where they could take refuge. They went to work and built their own houses, out of bricks.
According to those who inhabit that forest, the wolf never wanted to hunt a pig again.
- THE HEN WITH THE GOLDEN EGGS
Introduction:
Once upon a time there was a peasant couple who went to visit the market. Among all the products and animals that were sold there, there was one that caught their attention: a large hen. After debating for a while, the couple decided that this would be the purchase of the day: a hen for the henhouse.
Knot:
The next morning, when Mr. Farmer entered the chicken coop to feed the animals and collect his eggs, there was something that caught his attention: the brand new hen had laid an egg of gold!
With trembling hands, the peasant picked up the egg and ran to the kitchen of his house to show it to his wife.
This situation was repeated every morning.
The marriage began to obsess over the goose that laid the golden eggs. His ambition was such that they decided to devise a plan to get as many eggs as possible in the shortest time possible. After considering different options, they decided to kill the chicken. "Surely all the eggs are housed inside it," concluded the farmers.
Outcome:
The next day, determined, the couple killed the hen.
But when they opened it, they found that there was nothing inside, not even the egg that corresponded to that day. Thus, the peasants were left without the hen and without the golden eggs. And they learned that ambition is not a good adviser and that fortune can be fleeting.
- THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER
Introduction:
Once upon a hot summer, when the cicada was singing non-stop under a tree. Lying down with nothing to do but rest, she watched as her neighbor, the ant, worked endlessly carrying a huge grain of wheat.
With a mocking tone, the cicada asked her what she was doing while working with the beautiful day that she was doing. In addition, laughing, she reproached him that she did not know how to have fun.
The ant didn't even stop to answer her and she kept working. The scene of the ant working and the grasshopper mocking was repeated throughout the summer.
Knot:
One fine day, winter came. That day, the industrious little ant crawled into her anthill, warm and full of the food that she had been storing throughout the summer.
The cicada, on the other hand, starving and cold, had nowhere to go. The image of the working ant came to his mind and he ran to knock on the door of his anthill to ask for shelter and food.
Hearing the desperate request of the cicada, the ant refused and reminded him of how lazy she had been all summer. And she quickly she slammed the door in his face.
Outcome:
That was the last winter the cicada was cold. The following summer, she dedicated herself to setting up a shelter and collecting food. Also, she learned her lesson and stopped making fun of others.
