But can also be very simple.
Most stories follow a simple structure of beginning, middle and end.
Don't you just love the funfair, the games, the flashing lights, fantastic!
It's the perfect location for the beginning of our story.
LOCAL MAN: Don't ya just love it when the funfair is in town?
LOCAL WOMAN: Oh yes darling, it's a perfect night, in our perfect little town.
LOCAL MAN: What could possibly go wrong?!
NARRATOR: Now that we've established the location and the characters, we move on to the middle of our story.
Uh oh! Looks like these people aren't the only ones who, like the funfair. Things could get messy!
LOCAL MAN: Wait my darling I will protect you!
NARRATOR: Oh no, the monsters have scared everyone out of the funfair!
The once beautiful place of fun is now, a place of crazy monster madness!
This story is pretty dramatic so far!
But every story needs a good ending.
What's that? Sounds like the cavalry is here!
LOCAL MAN: Time to reclaim our funfair darling!
NARRATOR: Aww a happy ending after all!
