Narrative text is a type of text used to entertain readers by telling a story about events that happened in the past. It follows a typical structure including an orientation about characters and setting, a complication involving a crisis or conflict, an evaluation of the situation, a resolution of the crisis, and optionally a re-orientation. An example narrative text is provided about a jealous crow who breaks a cuckoo's eggs because the cuckoo's singing kept a traveler at their tree overnight while the crow's harsh cawing made the traveler leave. They confront the traveler who explains why he preferred the cuckoo, resolving their conflict and allowing them to live in peace thereafter.
