Well, let's say it starts like this: 'A girl found a mysterious box in the attic.' Then someone else says: 'When she opened the box, a bright light shone out.' Another person continues: 'The light formed a map leading to a hidden treasure.' This shows how a 'write around story' progresses with different contributions.
One example could be the story of the Christmas Candle. A poor family has only one candle left for Christmas, but they selflessly share it with a lost traveler on Christmas Eve. That night, the candle never goes out and brings warmth and light to their whole house. This story is then passed around to show the spirit of sharing during Christmas.
Sure. Here's a simple one. A girl wakes up one morning and decides to go for a walk in the forest. She follows a small path. Along the way, she sees a little rabbit. She tries to get closer to it but it hops away. Then she discovers a beautiful stream. She sits by it for a while, enjoying the peace. When she gets up to leave, she realizes she's a bit lost. But then she remembers a landmark from earlier and manages to find her way back home.
A story that is part of a very private family ritual. It's told during a special family gathering, but never written down or meant to be read by anyone outside the family. It's a story that has significance only in the context of that family's shared experiences and emotions, and so it's like a 'no read no write story'.
Sure. In some small towns, leaving your garbage out on the street instead of in the proper bins is a big nono. It might be part of the 'this is a big nono around here story' if that's what the phrase is referring to in that area.
Sure. A 'passed around story' could be about a local community coming together to build a park. One person starts the story of how the idea was born, how they overcame difficulties in fundraising, and how everyone pitched in with their skills, like carpenters building benches and gardeners planting flowers. This story gets passed around as it shows the spirit of the community.
Sure. There was a father with a manly muscle chest who loved to play with his kids in the park. He would pick them up and toss them gently in the air, his strong chest muscles making it easy for him to do so. His kids would laugh and feel safe in his arms. His manly muscle chest was like a shield that protected them and also a source of fun during their playtime.
Another example is 'One Thousand and One Nights'. Scheherazade tells a series of stories to the king night after night within the framework of her own life - threatening situation. Each of the stories she tells contains other smaller stories sometimes. This complex narrative structure of stories within stories makes the collection very rich and engaging.
Start by highlighting the main characters and their goals. Then, summarize the key events and conflicts. Finish with the resolution or outcome. For example, in a romance story, you might say: 'The story is about Alice and Bob who fall in love but face family opposition. They overcome it and live happily ever after.'
Of course. Here's an example. I told my coworker a fish story where I was out fishing and a school of fish lifted my boat out of the water. This is a very far - fetched fish story that I gave him. It was a way to pass the time and have a laugh at work.
A 'be time story' might be about a family. In the past, they 'be'longed to a small community and had a simple life. As time progresses, they move to a big city. There, they experience new things, face new problems, and grow as a family. Their story of adapting and changing over time is a 'be time story'.
