Write a narrative about a surprising encounter in a bustling market. The narrative should be between (200) and (250) words, contain at least one line of dialogue, vivid description, and a twist ending. Before writing, decide the order of events (introduction, rising action, climax, resolution) and allocate words: if you plan (220) words, give (30) words to the introduction, (70) to rising action, (80) to climax, and the remaining to resolution. State the allocation and then write the narrative.
Answer Options
A.
Word allocation:
Introduction: 30 words
Rising action: 70 words
Climax: 80 words
Resolution: 220 - (30+70+80) = 45 words.
**Narrative (≈ 220 words)**
The market thrummed with the scent of spices, the chatter of vendors, and the clatter of wooden carts. I weaved through stalls, eyes drawn to a stall glittering with hand‑woven fabrics.
A sudden shout cut through the din: "Fresh mangoes! Sweet as sunrise!" I turned to see an elderly woman, her smile warm, offering a golden fruit. As I reached for one, a boy darted forward, snatching it and disappearing into the crowd. I called after him, "Hey! That was my mango!"
The boy halted, eyes wide, and whispered, "You're not supposed to be here." Confused, I glanced around; the market seemed ordinary, yet a hush fell. The woman's voice rose, "You've been chosen." She handed me a small, intricately carved wooden box, insisting I open it.
Inside lay a folded note reading, "Your story begins now." I opened it to find a map of the city, leading me to a hidden tea house. The boy smiled, "Welcome to the secret tea ceremony." The market faded, but the adventure was just beginning.
B.
Word allocation:
Introduction: 25 words
Rising action: 65 words
Climax: 80 words
Resolution: 220 - (25+65+80) = 50 words.
**Narrative (≈ 220 words)**
The market buzzed with the clang of metal pots and the scent of fresh herbs. I slipped between stalls, drawn to a corner where bright lanterns swayed. A voice shouted, "Spices! Fresh spices!" and a woman in a red scarf offered me a handful of cumin. As I reached out, a child snatched the pouch and ran. I shouted, "Hey! That's mine!"
The child stopped, eyes wide, and whispered, "You shouldn't be here." The crowd hushed. The woman smiled, "You have been chosen." She gave me a small brass key, urging me to turn it.
When I turned it, the market melted away, revealing a quiet garden. The child stood beside me, now a gardener, saying, "Welcome to the world of growth." The key was a test.
I realized the market was an illusion, a doorway to a hidden garden of possibilities.
C.
Word allocation:
Introduction: 30 words
Rising action: 70 words
Climax: 80 words
Resolution: 40 words.
**Narrative (≈ 220 words)**
The market thrummed with the scent of spices, the chatter of vendors, and the clatter of wooden carts. I weaved through stalls, eyes drawn to a stall glittering with hand‑woven fabrics.

Inside lay a folded note reading, "Your story begins now." I smiled, pocketed the note, and walked away, feeling a strange sense of destiny, but the market remained as it always had.
