Answer the questions below! Does the first part of the story tell: Who was involved? What happened?

Pertanyaan

Why Do the Moon and the Sun Never appear Together?

Long, long time ago, the Sun and the Moon lived happily together in the sky. They always appeared together during the day and the night.

One day, the Sun shone brightly so that it almost burned the Moon. The sunlight hurt the Moon's eyes very much. This made the Moon blind.

The Moon left the Sun although the Sun had apologized to the Moon.

The Sun loved the Moon very much, so he chased her. He chased and chased through the years and centuries but has never caught the Moon.

That's why the Sun shines during the day and at night the Moon appears. They will never reunite again.

Pertanyaan "Does the first part of the story tell what happened?" menanyakan apakah bagian awal cerita menceritakan apa yang terjadi. Kita asumsikan yang dimaksud dalam pertanyaan ini adalah unsur complication (permasalahan) dan resolution (penyelesaian permasalahan) dalam cerita. Unsur complication pada teks terdapat pada paragraf dua yang berbunyi "One day, the Sun shone brightly...", dan unsur resolution terdapat pada paragraf empat yang berbunyi "The Sun loved the Moon very much...". Sedangkan bagian awal cerita adalah unsur orientation yang menjelaskan latar belakang cerita. Dengan demikan, jawaban untuk pertanyaan kedua adalah "no, it does not. It tells about the background of the story".
