what is the intro, major crisis, rising action, and climax of the story teller by saki

This is actually a story within a story, so you have two
of everything above. 


Introduction: An aunt and her three
charges are on the train and the children are being disruptive.  She cannot control
them. 


Problem:  It is annoying another passenger, a young
bachelor.


Rising Action: The bachelor decides to tell them
a story.  He expertly fields their questions about why there were no sheep, why there
were no flowers in the garden, what color were the pigs, what color was the
fox.


Climax: The bachelor finishes and tells the woman that
at least he kept them quiet for ten minutes.  It solved his problem of annoying
children.


Resolution: He leaves the train and thinks that
the poor woman is now going to be pestered for improper
stories.


SECOND STORY:  The bachelors
story


Introduction: A good little girl is introduced.  She
won three medals for being so good and was allowed to roam the Prince's garden. The
garden is filled with pigs.


Problem: The wolf comes to eat
one of the pigs.  But he sees the little girls and chases after
her


Rising Action:  The wolf searches for her but cannot
smell her because of the myrtle trees


Climax:  The wolf
hears her medals clinking, finds her, and eats
her


Resolution: All that is left of her are her shoes, her
clothes, and her medals.
