Example
Once, a cap seller was passing through a jungle. He
was very tired and needed to rest. Then, he stopped and
spread a cloth under a tree. He placed his bag full of caps
near him and lay down with his cap on his head.
The cap seller had a sound sleep for one hour. When he
got up, the first thing he did was to look into his bag. He
was startled when he found all his caps were not there.
When he looked up the sky, he was very surprised to see
monkeys sitting on the branches of a tree, each of the
monkeys is wearing a cap of on its head.
They had evidently done it to imitate him
He decided to get his caps back by making a
humble request to the monkeys. In return, the
monkeys only made faces of him. When he begun
to make gesture, the monkeys also imitated him.
At last he found a clever idea. ” Monkeys are a
great imitator,” he thought. So he took off his own
cap and threw it down on the ground. And as he
had expected, all the monkeys took off the caps
and threw the caps down on the ground. Quickly,
he stood up and collected the caps, put them
back into his bag and went away.
Note on Generic Structure: The generic
structure of above narrative story is:
Orientation: The cap seller as the participant
(main character), once time as time setting, and
in the jungle as place setting. We note from
discussion that the elements of orientation is
shortly answering who, when and where of the
story.
Complication: The cap seller wants the monkeys
to bring back his caps but the monkeys do not
return them. Of course this makes the cap seller
face a problem. Complication in a narrative text is
not always in single problem. That is we know a
major conflict and minor conflict.
Resolution: The cap seller gets the monkey to
bring back the cap by acting of throwing his own
cap. The monkeys imitate what he has done so
the problem is is solved. This story has happy
ending as the cap seller has his caps returned.
