Week 11 Storytelling: Rocky

Once upon a time, there was a king. He loved hunting a lot. And he was always go for hunting with his dog to hunt some birds. The king loved his dog very much and always took it with him wherever he went. The dog was named Rocky. Rocky also loved his master and never left him alone.

One day the king asked the chef to make for him the food, so he can eat it after coming back from hunting. When the King returned back to his palace with the dog, he asked about his food if it is ready or not. And the chef told him that he still need some time to get everything done.

 At that time, Rocky was sitting next to the kitchen door watching the chef to finish cooking and give him his food also. When the chef realized that Rocky was so hungry, he put the food for him near to the wall. While Rocky was eating his food, he saw a snake entering the kitchen from the Cracks in the wall. He tried to catch it but he could not find way to do that. Then he saw the snake drink from the king the food and puffs poison in the food. At the time there was the chef assistant also sees what was happing in the kitchen, but she was also not able to eliminate the Viper.


The King came into the kitchen wanted to see why the chef did not bring him the food yet and he saw the food still on the oven and it smells really good, so he decided to taste the food.
When the king almost tasted the soup, Rocky hit him on his hand to stop him. But the king did not know what Rocky purpose was from doing that and he thought that Rocky just wanted to play. Then he had to taste the food again and the chef assistant was trying to tell the king to not drink from that soup, but he also did not understand that because she was not speaking. She was trying to play signals, but he did not understand them and grabbed a spoon for the third time also to eat. So at that moment Rocky hit him on his hand and jumped into the pot and drank the poisoned food until he burnt and died and in the Behavior he preventing the owner from eating the poisoned food

The chef was the only person who understands the language of his assistant. So the king was shocked to what happened and   asked the chef to explain to him what happened. Then the chef told him that Rocky watched a Viper put poison in the food and Rocky tried to stop you three times, but you did not understand what its purpose was. And that’s my assistant told me because I was out of the kitchen at the time. King said he would request the burial ceremony of the Rocky like how he do it  to anyone because  sacrificed himself and he was a symbol of fulfillment and sincerity.

Author’s note :

I did my reading this week over the welsh unit. And one of the stories that I liked a lot and made me feel sad in the end is “ the story of Gelert .“ Gelert is a great dog. His master, a prince, loved him very much like a child, but in the end of the story, the prince killed his favorite dog because he saw a blood all about his child room and he thought that the dog killed his child where indeed Gelert was fighting a big wolf to protect the child. And I just changed a little bit in the event to get a new story.

  1. Hello! I also read from the Welsh unit this week! I knew that you were working from that source material almost immediately because you did such a great job of retaining the feel of the stories while still making it your own. This was really enjoyable to read-- especially since it was based on an amazing dog! :)

  2. I have picked this story for my reading for your week 12 since I could not find your week 12 storytelling yet. I think this was a great story that you wrote. I like how you rearrange the story. I think it is more acceptable and more understandable and more importantly more happier than the original story. I mean as a dog lover, I think that dog should not have been killed by the prince. Great job!

  3. I really liked how you changed this story to make it your own! The change from the nursery room to the kitchen was a cool one, and you certainly used all the opportunities you could from the kitchen setting, from the poison to the cook's assistant who didn't speak the King's language! I think language barriers are largely missing in a lot of stories but they create a lot of opportunity for conflict when people use them. Anyway, great job, and good luck during the rest of the semester!

  4. Hey Duoaa,

    This is an absolute gem of a story you wrote here. It was very well done and a joy to sit down and read. You did a phenomenal job by taking the original source of your story, but turning into a brand new story. Your version of the story is a lot more reasonable and easier to understand than the original story. It hurt to see the dog get killed by the prince. Anyways, awesome job, and good luck during your Finals!
