4. S1: Bring me a head, two arms, two legs, and two….
Now, consider this data from six months later. This time, the story is Frankenstein. The good doctor, Victor Frankenstein, has created a humanoid monster by sewing together disparate body parts, and the monster has come back to demand a wife.
S1: Bring me a head, two arms, two legs, and two….
S2: If you make wife, ah… I will …. ah…. won't kill your family.
(All data gathered in 2010 from a 5th grade class by Ms. Yi Minkyeong.)
Now S1 correctly uses the Deictic with “head”, and omits Deictics for the plural nouns, which have Numeratives.

6. Once upon a time in space there was matter
Once upon a time in space there was matter. Somewhere in all this matter there was a beautiful planet of clean blue air and black, black soil. On the planet was a little prince, who loved growing things. The little prince loved plants, and especially flowers. And of all the flowers, he loved roses the most. So, of course, this prince had a favorite rose, whose name was Rosey.
One day, Rosey felt something moving. Then she saw something move. There were many little animals, each one with six little legs, walking up Rosey’s stem! They were ants. An ant stopped. The ant stared. “Hello, my name is Antoine de Saint-Exupéry,” said the ant. “You can call me Antsie.”

7. Look! A crow sees chunks of cheese.
So she takes them to the trees.
And she sits there with her treat.
See! A fox can smell the cheese.
Now he’s coming through the trees.
There’s the crow, about to eat.
Foxy sees. And Foxy speaks.
“Such black feathers! Such white cheeks!
What a lovely pair of wings!”
“What red lips and what a beak!
If I wait here, she will speak.
I can’t wait until she sings!”
Now this crow is not so dumb.
But she’s lonely. And he’s come
All this way to sit and hear.
So she smiles. And she caws.
Cheese falls into Foxy’s jaws!
Cheese and Foxy disappear.

Narrative and Dialogue in Storytelling with Halliday, Vygotsky, and Shakespeare
Our revels now are ended. These our actors
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air
And like the baseless fabric of this vision
The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces
The solemn temples, the great globe itself
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And like this insubstantial pageant faded
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
