A Lucky Encounter on the Way to Work
Student A begins the story by recounting a terrible journey to work. They explain how they were cycling when it started raining, and a car hit their bike. Fortunately, they weren't hurt, and the driver, who turned out to be the owner of a bicycle shop, was very kind. To their surprise, he gave them a new bike that was much better than their old one. Student B listens attentively to the story and responds with comments and questions. They express relief that Student A wasn't injured and ask about the kind driver and the new bike. They may also share similar experiences or offer words of gratitude for the stranger's generosity. This storytelling exercise not only allows students to practice narrative skills but also encourages active listening and engagement between partners. It highlights the kindness of strangers and the unexpected blessings that can arise from challenging situations.
