CHAPTER 2STORY-WRITINGTo tell even a simple story well requires some practice. An uneducated person generally tells a tale badly. He does not mentally look ahead as he tells it and plans it out(筹划，安排). So he repeats himself, omits important items, which he drags in afterwards out of place, and dwell s too long on minor details and fails to emphasize the leading points. To write a good story, you must have the whole plot clear in your mind, and the main points arranged in their proper order.In this exercise you are not asked to make up a story. The plot of each story is given to you, more or less fully, in the outlines provided. But an outline is only a skeleton; it is your work to clothe the skeleton with flesh and breathe life into it. You must try to produce a connected narrative, and to make it as interesting as you can.HINTS1. As has been already said, see that you have a clear idea of the plot of the story in your mind before you begin to write.2. Follow the outline given; i.e., do not omit any point, and keep to the order in which the points are given in the out line.3. Be careful to connect the points given in the outline naturally, so that the whole will read well as a connected piece of good composition. Otherwise the whole will be disconnected and jerky（不顺畅）. You must use your imagination in filling in the details of action, gesture and conversation that should connect one point with the next.4. Where possible, introduce dialogue or conversation; but be careful to make it natural and interesting.5. The conclusion of a story is important. The whole story should be made to lead up to it naturally, and then it should come as a bit of surprise.6. If you are asked to supply a heading or title to the story, you may choose the main character, object or incident of the story (e.g.,"The Barber of Baghdad（巴格达，伊拉克首都）," or "The Pot of Olives,"or "An Accident"); or, a proverb or well-known quotation that suits the story (e.g.,"No pains, no gains," "Sorrow's Crown of Sorrow"？, etc.)7. See that your composition is grammatical and idiomatic and in good simple English. Revise your work, and if necessary rewrite it, until it is as good as you can make it. Specimen OutlineBoy set to guard sheep-tol d to cry “Wolf!” if he sees a wolf near the flock- watches the sheep for several days-gets tired of the monotonous work-so one day shouts "Wolf !" as a joke-all the villagers hasten to his help-they find no wolf- boy laughs at them-villagers angry-plays the same joke a few days later-some villagers take no notice-some come running-finding nothing, they beat the boy-at last wolf really comes-boy is terrified and shouts "Wolf ! Wolf！”-villagers take no notice-wolf kills several sheep.Complete StoryTHE BOY WHO CRIED "WOLF !"One of the boys in a village was sent out into fields to look after the sheep.“Mind you take care of them and don't let them stray,” said the villagers to him. “And keep a good look out for wolves. Don't go far away: and if you see a wolf coming near the sheep, shout out 'Wolf!' as loudly as you can, and we will come at once to help you.” "All right !" said the boy, "I will be careful." So every morning he drove his sheep out to the hillside and watched them all day. And when evening came, he drove them home again. But after a few days he got rather tired of this lonely life. Nothing happened and no wolves came. So one afternoon he said to himself: "These villagers have given me a very stupid job. I think I will play a trick on them just for fun." So he got up and began shouting as loudly as he could, "Wolf ! Wolf !" The people in the village heard him, and at once they came running with sticks."Wolf ! Wolf !" shouted the boy; and they ran faster. At last they came up to him out of breath."Where is the wolf ?" they panted. But the boy only laughed and said: '"There is no wolf. I only shouted in fun. And it was fun to see you all running as hard as you could !" The men were very angry. "You young rascal !" they said. "If you play a trick like that again, we will beat you instead of the wolf."And they went back to their work in the village. For some days the boy kept quiet. But he got restless again, and said to himself: "I wonder if they will come running again if I cry 'Wolf !' once more. It was such fun thelast time." So once more he began shouting , "Wolf ! Wolf !"The villagers heard him. Some said. "That boy is up to his tricks again." But others said, "It may be true this time; and if there really is a wolf, we shall lose some of our sheep." So they seized their sticks, and ran out of the village to the hillside. "Where is the wolf ?" they cried, as they came up. "Nowhere !" said the boy laughing. "It was fun to see you running up the hill as fast you could." "We will teach you to play jokes," shouted the angry men; and they seized the boy and gave him a good beating, and left him crying instead of laughing.A few days later a wolf really did come. When the boy saw it, he was very frightened and began shouting "Wolf ! Wolf ! Help ! Help !" as loudly as he could. The villagers heard him, but they took no notice. "He is playing his tricks again," they said. "We won't be made fools for a third time. You can't believe a boy after you have caught him lying twice." So no one went to his help, and the wolf killed several sheep and frightened the boy nearly out of his wits.Exercise 2.Construct readable stories from the following outlines1. An old lady becomes blind – call in a doctor – aggress(攻击，挑衅) to pay large fee if cured, but nothing if not -doctor calls daily-covets lady's furniture- delays the cure-every day takes away some of her furniture-at last cures her-demands his fees-lady refuses to pay, saying cure is not complete-doctor brings a court case-judge asks lady why she will not pay-she says sight not properly restored-she cannot see all her furniture-judge gives verdict in her favour-moral.2. A jackal（豺）wants crabs on the other side of a river-wonders how to get across-tells camel there is sugarcane the other side-camel agrees to carry him across in return for the information-they cross-jackal finishes his meal-plays trick on camel-runs round the fields howling- villagers rush out-see camel in sugarcane-beat him with sticks-camel runs to river-jackal jumps on his back-while crossing, camel asks jackal why he played him such a trick-jackal says he always howls after a good meal-camel replies he always takes a bath after a good meal-rolls in the river-jackal nearly drowned- tit-for-tat（以牙还牙，一报还一报）.3. A son is born to a Rajah（印度王侯ra:ʤǝ）-the mother dies in childbirth-a young mother with a baby is chosen as nurse-she nurses both babies together-enemies of the Rajah plot to kill his son-they bribe the guards and get into the palace-the nurse is warned just in time-quickly changes the children's dresses-leaves her own child dressed as prince and flies with real prince-murderers enter room and kill the child left behind-so prince is saved-Rajah offers nurse rewards-she refuses them and kills herself-Rajah grieved-erects splendid tomb for the faithful nurse.4. A miser loses a purse of a hundred pieces of gold-in great distress-goes to town crier(沿街呼唤传报消息的人)-crier says he must offer a reward-offers reward of ten pieces of gold--the crier announces this -a few days later a farmer comes to the miser-he has picked up the purse-returns it to miser-miser counts the money-a hundred pieces of gold-thanks the farmer-the farmer asks for the reward-miser says there were a hundred and ten pieces in the purse, so the farmer has already taken his reward of ten pieces-they quarrel-farmer appeals to the judge---the judge hears the case, and asks for the purse-sees that it only just holds a hundred pieces-decides it cannot be the miser's purse-so gives the purse to farmer-the miser had overreached himself（不自量力，过于雄心勃勃而失败）.11. King Solomon noted for his wisdom-Queen of Sheba（希巴，古国名，今；也门）heard of his fame-came to visit him-impressed by his wealth and grandeur-wanted to test his power of solving puzzles showed him two garlands of flowers, one in right hand and one in left -one real, the other artificial-asks, “Which is which?”-courtiers puzzled-both garlands look the same Solomon silent-Queen feels triumphant-Solomon ordered windows to be opened-bees flew in from garden-buzzed about the Queen-all settled on garland in her right hand Solomon said the flowers in right hand real, in left hand artificial-Queen impressed with his wisdom.。
