Understanding Commas in Fairy Tale Narratives
Once upon a time, in a distant kingdom, there lived a brave princess named Aurora. She, known for her kindness, bravery, and curiosity, often explored the enchanted forest beyond the castle walls. One day, she found a mysterious, sparkling object buried beneath the ancient oak tree. With cautious excitement, she reached out, gently, and discovered it was a shimmering, magical amulet. As she held it, her thoughts raced, wondering about the power it might contain. Suddenly, a wise old owl swooped down, hooting softly, warning her to be cautious with its magic. Aurora nodded nervously, clutching the amulet tightly, knowing her adventure was just beginning.
