                                              Opening – setting, main characters

                                                                Build-up – atmosphere, hint

  STORY HAND                                                        Problem/adventure –
                                                                    main event

                                                                Resolution – outcome
                                                        Ending/conclusion

Lion – never touch the sleeping
stones                            Meerkat runs into:
Meerkat – always running and      - Prickly bush
bumping into things               - Logs
                                  - Lion (reminds her to be careful)
                                  - Scares skunk
                                  - Guinea-fowl , mole and aardvark

Meerkat never looks before she
runs. She does not listen.

Choose an animal to watch over
Meerkat woke the sleeping stones    meerkat  guinea-fowl offers to
 they warned her                  help meerkat change her ways
Hold your nose high and always be
on the lookout
Now meerkat warns others of
dangers
