Examples of a Story

In case of given picture:

1. Being Brave

Once upon a time, there was a tortoise. It was on a ship sailing through a river.
Unfortunately, the ship sank. Some time later, the tortoise reached a deserted land
surrounded by water on all sides except for one. The landward side led up to a big steep
mountain. To avoid starving to death, the tortoise decided to climb to the top of the
mountain, hoping that he would be able to cross to the other side.

When the tortoise got to the snow covered mountain, he was freezing in cold. He just
managed to make out a small pathway leading down the other side of the mountain. But
the path was guarded by a giant monster. He was frightened to see the monster. All he
wanted to do was to hide his head inside his shell. But looking around him, he saw that

many other animals were lying frozen to death and with looks of horror on their faces.
So, the tortoise did not go into his shell.
