When I was 11, my cousin and I discovered
how much fun it was to play in the mud. We

Sometimes we would splatter each other in a
game of war. One day we imagined that we
were pigs and flopped down on our backs in
a mud puddle. Then we had a contest to see
who could make the most convincing oink. My
mother came home, caught wallowing, and
threw a it. She said that we had gotten our
clothes filthy and would have to wash them
ourselves. And then she made us do it, too!

Editor's Notes
Narration is pattern of writing that tells a story of an event or an experience. You relate a sequence of events which reveals something of importance (your main point), and all other important events of your story (your supporting details) to bring it to life with a detailed account of what happened- Who was involved in the event? When did the event happen? Where did the event occur? What is the focus of your narrative? A concluding statement that emphasizes the main point of your narrative is very important to make sure that your readers understand the purpose of telling the story. A narrative paragraph usually follows a chronological order.
