My Narrative.

We have been learning how to write narratives. Narratives are a style of writing which tell a story usually following this structure: Introduce a time,place and good character/s. Then introduce bad character/s and a problem. Have the good character solve the problem.End up with a solution to the problem which is satisfying for a reader and which might teach a lesson. All the way through the story, use descriptive language to help describe the places and characters well. Because we are also learning about myths and legends, some of us decided to use the myth genre. Myths are imaginary narratives which use a story with a message to try to explain a natural phenomenon such as rain, wind or earthquakes.My story is a narrative but it's also a myth. My story is a myth because it is an imaginative way of trying to explain why we have tides and tar.

Water Dragon

A myth by Tylah Ratahi.

Once upon a time there was a dragon. His home was the mountains and

is bed was a soft mountain side.His weight made the mountain split in half and form a sea where he drank water daily.

He was a tall, hairy dragon with smelly feet who always had a big smile which made wrinkles on his chubby cheeks. His nose was as big as a mountain and he was known as the Water Dragon because could bring the tide in and out. He used to drink the water and spit it back out because it was salty, and that also made waves.

On a sunny Friday, Water Dragon went to go get a drink.He noticed the water tasted different, grossly different. He had swallowed polluted water and he had already taken a humongous gulp.He spat it all out. I can never drink water again he thought. But the people said, “ if there are no more  tides  the fish will die!”

The people scream at Water Dragon,“Drink up, make the tides keep working!”

Just then along came a fire dragon and said, “What’s the problem?”

“ I can't drink the polluted water and make the tides anymore,” said Water Dragon.

“Well, I can take care of that,” said Fire Dragon. He gulped up all the polluted water and then did an enormous poop. He pooped out a humongous pile of sticky black tar and then he spewed back all the water sparkling clean again.

He became the town hero and so did Water Dragon because he could carry on making the tides again. They became a team and were best friends forever.

And that is why seas have tides and why we have tar on Earth.
