Identifying nouns in a 200-word story
Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a kingdom ruled by a powerful king. The king had a beautiful castle, surrounded by lush gardens and forests. The kingdom was prosperous and the people were happy. However, the king was not content with just having a wealthy kingdom, he wanted more power.
One day, the king heard of a powerful sorcerer who lived in the mountains beyond the kingdom’s borders. The king believed that with the sorcerer’s help, he could conquer all the neighbouring kingdoms and become the most powerful ruler in the land.
The king sent his bravest soldiers to find the sorcerer and bring him to the castle. The soldiers travelled through treacherous terrains and battled fierce monsters, but they finally found the sorcerer and brought him to the king.
The sorcerer was not impressed by the king‘s offer and refused to help him. The king, furious, locked the sorcerer in the dungeon beneath the castle. The sorcerer, however, was not defeated that easily. He used his magic to escape the dungeon and disappeared into the mountains
The king‘s greed for power ultimately led to his downfall and the people of the kingdom were left to pick up the pieces. From then on, they vowed to never again let power corrupt their ruler.

Identifying nouns in a 300-word story
One fine day, a big storm came and blew away the straw house. The villagers were very sad because they loved the straw house. They felt that the village was not complete without it. So, they decided to build a new straw house.
They gathered all the materials they needed such as straw, wood, and mud. They worked hard and finally, the new straw house was ready. It was even more beautiful than the old one. The villagers were very happy and they threw a big party to celebrate.
During the party, a little boy asked the villagers why they loved the straw house so much. They told him that the straw house was a symbol of the village. It represented the village’s unity and strength. The little boy smiled and said, “I understand now, a house is just a noun, but it’s what it represents that makes it special.”
The villagers were touched by the boy’s words and they realized that a noun, whether it be a house, a person or an object, can represent something much bigger and important. From that day on, they cherished all their nouns, the wooden house, the brick house, the stone house, and the straw house, each one representing a different aspect of their village. And they lived happily ever after.
