Heya guys! So here's another English task I have to do. I have to make a layout of a story... Orientation, complication, resolution, yep. I actually wanted to search for a Japanese story, but my internet was down so I couldn't be too picky...

...Either way. The story I'll use is titled 'The Wolf and the Crane', a fable by Aesop.

THE WOLF AND THE CRANE

•             Orientation :

- Who : A wolf, a crane.

- Where : A forest.

- When : Presumably afternoon.

•             Complication :

What happened one day?

-One day, a wolf was eating his meal, and a bone got stuck in his throat.

•             Resolution :

What happened then?

-A crane passed by. The wolf said he would give anything to have the painful bone removed.

•             Complication :

And then?

-The crane was doubtful that he would make it alive.

•             Resolution :

What happened next?

– The wolf promised to not hurt the crane.

•             Complication :

-The crane warily took the bone, but he had to put his head in the wolf's mouth to do that.

•             Resolution :

What happened then ?

-The wolf was happy, but denied the crane his reward.

•             Complication :

Then ?

– The crane demanded the wolf give the promised reward.

•             Re-orientation :

What the end of the story ?

-The wolf told the crane that the reward was the wolf's kindness- he did not chop the crane's head off!

I used to like this story so much as a kid. I had a picture book of it, and I would read it all the time. By the way, why are cranes used very often in fables? O.o

Oh and actually, I wanted to choose another Russian folklore, but it was much longer... And rather gory. Either way, if you are interested in reading the story in more detail, it has been written wonderfully in this site, wonderfully, I tell you, WONDERFULLY:

GOOOOOOOO CLICK MEEEEEEEEE
