Explanation
A tale has three parts: the beginning (who, where), the development of events and the ending (how it finished). In the second wolf tale of the textbook the wolf tries to trick the horse and is tricked himself. We find the parts of a tale about two goats.
Worked examples
“The narrow bridge”. On a narrow bridge over a river two goats met. Both said: “I will cross first.” If they had pushed each other, both would have fallen in the water. One turned out to be clever: he lay down on the bridge. The other carefully stepped over him. In this way both crossed dry.
Parts: beginning — the goats met on the bridge; events — both wanted to cross; ending — one lay down and both crossed.
Class activity
Picture cards (meeting, quarrel, lying down) are mixed up; children arrange them and tell the tale.
