Question

Point out what personal pronouns are used in the text and decide who narrates the story.

Answer

Personal pronouns used in the text include:

  • "He" (referring to the dragon)
  • "I" (used by the dragon in direct speech)
  • "We" (used by the nurse in reported speech)

The narrator of the story is a third-person narrator, as indicated by the consistent use of personal pronouns such as "he," "she," "it," or "they." The narrator is not a character in the story and remains unidentified, presenting the events from an external perspective.
