How to Summarise a story

Welcome back friends,
So today I am going to share the strategy of summarizing a story. So let's start it.

The strategy of summarizing a story is called SWBST strategy. It is used to summarize a story in very short time and only covers important points.

S - Somebody
W - Wanted
B - But
S - So
T - Then

For example - 

The Thirsty Crow

It was a hot summer day. A thirsty crow flew into a village in search of water. The crow flew over the houses, fields, and trees. But he didn’t find any water. After a long time, Under one of the trees was a pot of water. He was happy that he found some water finally, he flew down to the tree and landed down to the ground. He quickly moved towards the pot and looked inside. There was very little water in the pot. The crow put his beak inside the pot but could not reach the water. The water level was too low, and the narrow opening curved its neck. The crow was disappointed. He was really thirsty and needed a drink of water badly. He could have given up and flown to another farm, looking for water. But he didn’t give up. Instead, he looked around and thought “What else can I do?” He saw that there were a lot of pebbles on the farm. And then he had an idea! He collected a pebble and put it into the pot. He collected many pebbles and put them all in the pot. As he added more and more stones, the water level came up to the top of the pot. The crow drank the water and flew back home happily.

S - Somebody

Once there was a thirsty crow.

W - Wanted
He was looking for water and found a pot of water under a tree. 

B - But
But the level of water was too low.

S - So
So he dropped some pebbles inside the pot and water level rose up.

T - Then
Then he drank the water and happily flew away.

The Thirsty Crow
(Summary)

Once there was a thirsty crow. He was looking for water and found a pot of water under a tree. But the level of water was too low. So he dropped some pebbles inside the pot and water level rose up. Then he drank the water and happily flew away.

This is how we can summarize a story.

The wolf and the lamb

 Hello friends, so today I am going to share a story named "The Wolf and The Lamb".

Once upon a time, a lamb was eating grass far from the flock of sheep. It wasn't aware of that a wolf was coming towards it. When the wolf came near it, sheep said "You can't eat me. First let my stomach digest the food completely. Then my meat will turn sweet. So let me dance so that my stomach can digest it completely." When the lamb was dancing, it came with an idea of joining the flock again. "Dear wolf, can you ring my bell so that I can dance faster." said the lamb. The wolf agreed and started to ring the bell. The shepherd heard the voice and came running to save the lamb. He caught the wolf and saved the life of the lamb.

Moral - Small creatures can think faster than you.

Yummy!!

Hello friends, so today I am going to share my own-made poem "Yummy!!"

The tea is hot,

Which is in the pot.

But the juice is cold,

Which could be hold.

Also I love toffee,

Which is made of coffee.

I can eat a small sweet cake,

By drinking a small glass of a lake.

Really I could eat,

A bag full of sweet corn wheat. 

Everyone say that I am a sweet beast,

Which has been released.

The proud rose

 Hello friends, So today I am going to share a story "The Proud Rose".

In a forest, there was a rose. As the rose was proud of himself as everyone like it, but he was very upset of his family members like the roots, stem, leaves and thorns as they make him look very bad. In every situation, his family members helped it like thorns saved it from a florist who wants to tear it, stem kept it straight even when a strong wind blow, roots holding the mud tightly when the flood came, roots took mineral and vitamins from the soil etc. but these all can't make a change in the rose proudness. So they all thought of teaching a lesson to it. One day, they all stopped working for it as leaves started not making food for it, roots stop taking minerals and vitamins from the soil, stem stop becoming straight and thorns started not keeping it safe. Slowly the rose felt that it is getting weak as nobody liked it now and its colour was now not like before as it turned into an autumn flower. Now he understood the importance of his family members and asked them for help but they ignored helping it. He promised that from now he will not make fun of them. Now they all again started helping it to become beautiful again. Now he doesn't feel that his family members are making him bad in looking and was happy to have a helpful family.

Moral - We should not think anyone that it doesn't have any importance and is useless.

Eating too much

I have written a funny poem, especially for children which name is "Eating Too Much" 

"My sister eats too much,
I only hear her crunch.
She has been so fat,
That she can't fit her head on the hat.

My parents tell her to regain it,
But she uses her wit.
Says that it is not good for health,
But got the reply that for her it is wealth.

Right now she's having fun,
by eating a bun.
She did not want to stop,
For going to shop.

I tell her to regain,
But she tells me that it is not main.
In her stomach, there's a big hall,
And I don't mind at all."

Carnivorous Plants

 Carnivorous Plants

Some plants that capture insects, spiders, and mites as food required for there survival are known as insectivorous or carnivorous plants. Most of these plants live in wet areas where soil doesn't have much nutrients. They derive nutrients from their prey and some of the nutrients available in the soil. Some carnivorous plants are -

 Pitfall traps of Pitcher plants - Also known as Pitcher plant, looks like a pitcher-shaped vessels with a fluid. It attracts insects by its sweet fragrance and when they come to drink it, they become drowned into it.

Flypaper traps of Sundew plants - Flypaper traps have sticky substance on which the pray gets caught.

Snap traps of Venus flytraps - Here, the plant have mouth-like leaves that shuts slowly when an insect or spider lands in it.

There are some water traps inside the water, are known as Water wheel trap

Everyone is a hero

Hello friends,

So today, I am going to tell about a story.

The story I am going to share is in my syllabus

Story - Everyone is a hero

Summary-

One day, a mathematician called a meeting of number 0 to 9, but Zero(0) was nowhere to be found. The numbers searched and was found behind a bush and he was brought to the meeting. Mathematician asked about it and Zero(0) said "Sir I am Zero, I have no value. I was so upset that I hid behind the bush." The mathematician thought for a while and told one (1) to stand near Zero(0). Then he asked one(1) that what's his value and one(1) said "one" and asked zero to tell the value together and zero said "ten". Then he told Zero (0) like that if we made groups of zeros like that, 1 could be made as tens, hundreds, thousands, and even millions. From that day, zero was never ashamed of his value.

Lesson - We work better when we work together and we should not think that we are useless.

Thanks
