Opening narration

Dear sweet child, do you know what a story is? It's like when you tell your family and friends about a fun thing you did, or when you read a book about characters going on exciting adventures.

Now, at the very beginning of some stories, there's something called an "opening narration." This is when someone talks or writes at the start of the story to give you important information.

For example, let's say we're reading a book about a rabbit named Peter who likes to run around in a garden. The opening narration might say something like this: "Once upon a time, there was a mischievous bunny named Peter who loved to play in Mr. McGregor's garden despite his mother's warnings."

See how the opening narration sets the stage for the story and gives you some helpful details? It's like a sneak peek into what's going to happen next.

Sometimes, you might hear an opening narration in a movie or TV show too. It's usually someone talking over the pictures or scenes you're seeing, telling you what's going on or what to expect.

So remember, kiddo, an opening narration is just like a friendly guide taking you by the hand and leading you into a world of imagination and wonder. Isn't that exciting?
