You are white and very beautiful, you will live in my castle” and later the ogre captured the beautiful cat and locked her up in his castle.
   The friends of the cat were very sad and all the pets in the land wanted to rescue the beautiful cat. They went to the castle one by one.
    First, it was the rabbit in front of the ogre and it said “Heyy look at me ogre, I am a lovely rabbit. I have got two short legs and two long legs. I have got big ears and a small tail. Now give me the beautiful cat”.
   The ugly ogre roared with anger when he saw the rabbit. His roar was so scary that the rabbit ran away in a hurry.
   After the rabbit it was the dog in front of the ogre and it said “Heyy look at me ogre, I have got four legs and a long tail. I am a lovely dog and now give me the beautiful cat”.
   The ugly ogre roared with anger when he saw the dog. His roar was so scary that the dog ran away in a hurry.
   After the dog, it was the hamster in front of the ogre and it said “Heyy look at me ogre, I am a hamster. I have got four short legs and a small tail. I am brown and small. Now give me the beautiful cat”.
   The ugly ogre roared with anger when he saw the hamster. His roar was so scary that the hamster ran away in a hurry.
   The beautiful cat was very sad because it was in the castle.
   One day a friendly parrot was flying over the ogre’s castle. The parrot saw the beautiful cat and said “Heyy look at me beautiful cat, I am a parrot. I have got two legs and a long tail. I will help you”.
   The parrot rescued the beautiful cat from the castle and put her on his strong back. They flew high in the sky.
   The cat was very happy now because it was in her castle. All the pets were happy and they thanked the parrot.
Activity 2: Role playing

  In this part, teacher has an activity for the students named as role playing. Teacher has a box in which there are different pictures that are related to scenes of the story. Students make some groups and every group takes a picture from the box later comes to the board and performs their role playing or teacher wants them to make five groups. Each person in the group chooses the best character that they love so much, later comes to the board and performs their role playing.
POST-STORYTELLING ACTIVITIES:
Activity: Drawing and coloring
   In this part students have drawing and coloring activity. They like coloring so this activity may be encouraging for them. Teacher wants them to choose their favorite character in the story and later draw the character as a poster and later come to board to share his/her poster with us. After all students have finished their drawings and coloring, they come to board one by one and both share their character with us and also try to describe it by using few sentences. This activity goes on like this until nearly all the students share their posters with the class.
