Dialogues

                A good dialogue suggests the protagonists’ attitudes. Here’s a story’s gist. Improve it by adding dialogues that portray the attitude of each character. Develop it into a full-blown story using other necessary details.

                There was a king who had many sons. One day, he decided to select who would be the crowned prince, the one who would ascend the throne after him

                He summoned the three he is fondest of.

                The first, haughty and proud, claimed all glory for himself, was turned into a river that would reflect day and night the glory that is shone upon it.

                The second, self-conscious and shy, was turned into a mountain – to thrust into the heavens and to stand proud before everyone to show the regal tradition of his ancestry.

                The third – a person, neither haughty nor self-conscious but always for the king’s command, always in his service – was crowned prince.
