Story, as an important part of culture, is very identical to the narrative. Story or narrative can be used to convey moral value which is very helpful to build one’s personality. Even a character of a nation can very much be influenced by stories (fairy tale, legend, fable, myth) which spread all over the nation and are told from generation to generation. As I have ever read that the story of “Sang Kancil” takes part in building the Indonesian people characteristics.

Commonly a narrative text has the following structure:

Orientation: Introducing the participants and informing the time and the place

Complication: Exploring the conflict in the story. It shows the rising crisis and the climax of the story.

Resolution: Showing the way the participants of the story solve the crises, for better or worse

It is logical since the stories typically happen in the past. They can use simple past, past continuous or past perfect tense.

Action verbs are verbs that show the performance of action. They specifically describe what the subject (person, animal, force of nature, or thing) of the sentence is doing, e.g.: run, walk, cry, scream, explode, kick, etc.

Temporal conjunctions express relationships with time, in the flow or sequence of events, e.g.: before, after, during/while (a period or an activity), since, until, when
