Fable - A morality tale

Myths, fables and nursery rhymes have long been used as a way to educate children and young adults about morality - in a way which is both approachable and enjoyable. The important thing to bear in mind is tailoring your story to your particular audience. For instance, dragons are a symbol of strength and leadership in many Oriental cultures. Whilst, in Western cultures where Christianity proliferates, they are often painted as villainous due to their serpentine appearance being analogous to popular conceptualisations of the Devil.

Your job is the following:

• Pick a specific audience (age, cultural, interests, etc.)
• Decide upon a particular moral, eg. do not envy your neighbour's property, the grass is not greener on the other side, respect your elders, etc.
• Compose a 300-400 word story that conveys this moral using exciting events and scenarios which would be appropriate for and appeal to your chosen audience.
• Check and edit your work for punctuation, spelling, capitalisation, grammar and syntax.
• Copy and paste your work as a "comment" on this blog post - Make sure your name is on it.
