Task I Read the text entitled Hanasaka below, then identify the text structure of narrative text.Once upon a time in a remote mountain village in Japan, lived an old childless couple. One day a little white puppy came fleeing toward them and crying. The puppy had been mistreated by the greedy old man who lived in the next field over. "Oh, you poor thing." exclaimed the old man, and taking him in, gave the puppy the name "Shiro."

One day, Shiro led the old man up a nearby mountain. When they reached the top, Shiro barked, "Arf Arf - Dig here! Arf Arf - Dig here!" As the old man began to dig, to his amazement, sparkling gold coins started pouring up from the ground.

The greedy man heard about this. He managed to take Shiro and forced him to dig in his garden. But instead of gold coins, garbage began pouring up from the ground. "How dare you!" exclaimed the man. Furiously, he killed Shiro.

When ne honest old couple found out about this, they were overcome with grief. They decided to dig a grave for Shiro. Upon burying Shiro, a sapling sprouted from the ground above his grave. By the next day, it had grown into a towering tree.

One night, the old man dreamed that the dog told them to chop down the tree and make a mortar from it. He told his wife, who said they must do as the dog asked. When they did, the rice put into the mortar turned into gold. The greedy neighbor stole it, but when he put the rice into the mortar it turned to black mud. The greedy man was angry, he smashed and burned the mortar. The honest old man was disheartened. He gathered up the ashes from the mortar, put them in a box, and carried the box carefully back to his house.

The old couple then sprinkled the ashes over the field, suddenly a wind swirled up and blew the ashes into a dead tree. Amazingly, the dead tree began to bloom beautiful cherry blossoms. News of the old man's miracle reached the town and before long, even the ears of the king, who promptly sent for the old man.

The old man was brought to the king, carrying his box of ashes. "Now I'll make the flowers bloom." He sprinkled the ashes onto the nearby trees, and immediately, beautiful white cherry flowers appeared. The king was very pleased. ""Wel done. You are the greatest flower bloomerin all of Japan. You will be rewarded."

At that moment, the greedy man came running, carrying the leftover ashes which he had gathered from the stove. "Wait! I'm the greatest flower bloomer in Japan." With that, he began to sprinkle his ashes. Instead of landing on the flowers, however, the ash flew into the eyes and nose of the king, choking him. "You impudent!" the king stormed, and promptly threw the greedy man into prison.
