Question
Write a story in about eighty words using the following hints:
a king, proud of his power – tells he can control everything on earth – takes his courtiers to the sea shore – orders the waves to move back – the waves lash at the feet of the king – the king moves back in fear
Answer
Once, there was a king who was known for his immense pride in his power. He boasted to his courtiers that he had control over everything on Earth. To prove his point, he led them to the seashore. Standing at the water’s edge, he arrogantly commanded the waves to move back. However, instead of obeying his orders, the waves lashed at the feet of the king, roaring in defiance. Overwhelmed with fear, the once proud king hastily retreated, realizing the limits of his power in the face of nature’s force.
