Example of Narrative Text The Story of Hare
and Tortoise
There was once an arrogant hare who wanted to prove that he was better than
everybody else, so he choose the slowest animal in the county, the tortoise, and invited him
to a five mile race.
The tortoise accepted his challenge and trained hard for the event, while the hare
walked around boasting that he was going to humiliate the tortoise and make him look stupid.
The day of the race dawned. The tortoise set off at a slow and steady pace, while
the hare was dancing around laughing at him; other animals were laughing too, including the
rabbit, the badger, and even the little hedgehog.
The hare became exhausted from all his dancing around, so he decided to have a
nap. When he awoke, he realised that a few hours had passed and the tortoise was nowhere
to be seen. The hare panicked and ran the whole course as fast as he could, which was very
fast indeed.
As he reached the top of the final hill, he could see the finish line in the distance,
with the tortoise walking slowly across it, the victor.
Generic Structure Of the Story :1. Orientation
It clearly states that the participants are the hare and the tortoise who live
in once time.
2. Complication
From the second, third, and forth parragraphs, we see that the major
complication is set by the arogant hare. In the firs scene, hare and his
supporters tried to humiliate tortoise while in the same time the tortoise was
practicing hard. Because hare thought it was safe, he took a nap, but that
was his big mistake.
3. Resolution
The story of hare and tortoise is closed with the scene of tortoise winning
the race. It was a bed and sad ending for hare but it was the victory of
tortoise.

Moral Value
There are two main purposes of writing a narrative text
1. Entertaining the readers with an interesting story.
2. Teaching a certain moral lesson to the readers.
What we can catch for above narrative text in the story of
hare and tortoise is that we feel entertained with the fable
story, animals do like we do. The second thing we get the
point is that "fast" is not always winning but "slow" and
steady is winning in the end.
