given a title apt to the concept or theme. (కథకు తగిà°¨ à°ªేà°°ు
à°ªెà°Ÿ్à°Ÿాà°²ి.)
2. Introduction to
the characters: There must be some introduction to the characters in the

à°‰ంà°¡ాà°²ి.)
3. Setting: The setting is

4. Dialogues: These are the
spoken words of the characters.(à°¸ంà°ాషణలు)
5. Stage directions: These are the
instructions to the reader where there is some action without any dialogue or
with dialogue and how the characters behave on the stage or what is happening. These are written

E.g. Read the following passage carefully.
One day, a
courtier entered the court with a glass jar in his hands. “What is there in
that jar?” asked the emperor.
“Your Majesty,
Mixture of sand and sugar,” replied the courtier.
“What for?” asked
Akbar again. “Excuse me, your majesty!” asked the courtier. “We want to test
Birbal’s intelligence. We want him to separate each and every grain of sugar
from the sand.”
“Look, Birbal,
almost every day there is a new challenge before you.” Akbar smiled and said, “You have to separate
the sugar from the sand without dissolving.”
“No problem, your
majesty” said Birbal. It’s just a child’s play.
Birbal took the
jar and went out of the court. The courtiers followed him. Birbal went to the
garden and scattered the sand and sugar mixture on the ground near the trunk of
a mango tree.
“Why have you
done this?” asked a courtier. “We will know the result by tomorrow,” replied
Birbal.
The next day,
they went near the mango tree in the garden and found that there were only sand
grains lying on the ground. The sugar grains had been carried home by
innumerable ants of the nearby ant hill! A few ants could be seen still busy
carrying sugar grains to their ant hill.
“But where has all
the sugar vanished?” asked the courtier.
“Separated,”
whispered Birbal in his ear. All of them laughed.
“If you want to
find the sugar, follow the ants into their homes!” said the emperor and all the
courtiers began to laugh loudly.
