6. Reading the story
(http://www.kidsgen.com/short_stories/stone_cutter.htm#p594ROf27VwKHCtJ.99)
“The Stonecutter”
Once upon a time there lived a stone cutter ,in a small
village. All day long he worked hard, cutting the hard stones and
making the shape which were needed by his customers. His hands
were hard and his clothes were dirty.
One day he went out to work on a big stone. It was very
hard to work and the sun was very hot. After spending several hours
cutting the stone, he sat down in the shade and soon fell asleep.
After sometime, he heard sound of somebody coming.
Walking up he saw a long procession of people. There were many
soldiers and attendants and in the middle, in a palanquin, carried by
strong people at the king .

7. How wonderful it must be to be the great king thought the
stone cutter . How happy I would be if i were the king instead of a
poor stone cutter.
As he said these words, a strange thing happened. The stone
cutter found himself dressed in silk clothes and shining jewels. His
hands were soft and he was sitting in a comfortable palanquin.
He looked through the curtains and thought, How easy it is to
be a king, these people are here to serve me.
The procession moved on and the sun grew hot. The
stone cutter ,now the king ,became too warm for comfort. He asked
the procession to stop so that he could rest for some time .
At once the chief of the soldiers bent before the king and said
Your Majesty, only this morning you swore to have me hanged to
death if we did not reach the palace before the sun set.

8. The stone cutter felt sorry for him and ordered the procession to go
on its way again.
As the afternoon wore on, the sun grew hotter, and the king became
more and more uncomfortable.
I am powerful, it is true, but how more powerful the sun is, he
thought I would rather be the sun than a king .
At once, he became the sun ,shining down on the earth.
His new power was hard to control.
He shone too strongly, he burned up the fields with his rays and
turned the ocean into vapor and formed a great cloud which covered the
land.
But no matter how hard he shone, he could not see through the
clouds.
It is obvious that the clouds are even stronger and more powerful
than sun said the stone cutter, now the sun, I would rather be a cloud.
Suddenly he found himself turned into a huge dark cloud.

9. He started using his new power. He poured rain
down on the fields and caused floods. All the trees and
houses were swept away but a boulder, which once he
had been cutting when he was a stone cutter was
unmoved and unchanged.
However much he poured down on the stone it
did not move.
Why that rock is more powerful than I am said the
stone cutter now a cloud. Only a stone cutter could
change the rock by his skill. How I wish I were a
stonecutter.
No sooner he said the words that he found
himself sitting on a stone with hard and rough hands.
He picked up his tools and set to work on a boulder,
happily.

Enumeration.
Enumeration is a rhetorical device used for listing
details, or a process of mentioning words or phrases step
by step. In fact, it is a type of amplification or division in
which a subject is further distributed into components or
parts. Writers use enumeration to elucidate a topic, to make
it understandable for the readers. It also helps
avoid ambiguity in the minds of the readers.

Elegy for Jane (by Theodore Roethke)

And she balanced in the delight of her thought … “
