It could be about an amazing adventure. Maybe it's a story of a young explorer who travels to a far - off land filled with strange creatures and hidden treasures.
I heard it from my grandmother. She used to tell me all kinds of stories when I was a kid. She had a whole collection of stories passed down through generations in our family.
Well, it could be about the old days when I was a young lad. I used to live on a farm, and there were so many interesting things. We had a bunch of animals, like cows that would moo in the morning to wake us up, and chickens that would run around the yard. It was a simple but really fun life.
Well, first of all, give me your full attention. Put away any thoughts that are running around in your head. Listen with your heart and your ears. Think about the words I'm going to say and try to picture the things I'm going to describe in your mind. This way, you'll be fully immersed in the story.
She could start by setting the scene, like 'It was a dark and stormy night, and I was all alone in the old house...' This kind of start creates a spooky and mysterious mood right away.
It could be about her own childhood. Maybe she'll talk about the time when she first learned to ride a bike. She might describe the old bike, the wobbly feeling at the start, and how she finally got the hang of it, racing down the dirt roads near her childhood home.
The story could also be a fictional one. She might tell a magical tale of fairies and elves living in a secret forest not far from their home, where they protect the beautiful flowers and animals.
