An Adventure Story
The Quest of the Ring
Rob was a happy-go-lucky kind of boy who lived with his poor widowed mother in a
little fishing village.
Times were often hard for Rob and his mother but he helped his mother however he
could.
To make ends meet, Rob would often take his fishing rod down to the bay. If he was
lucky, he would proudly bring home a fish for tea.
Choose: Does Rob take the fish home for tea or does the fish escape?
As Rob carried his catch along the quayside, the fish gave a final wriggle and freed
itself from the hook. The water’s edge was close and the fish fell into the water once
more. It recovered itself for a moment and swam back out into the bay once more .
Rob and his Mum went hungry that night too.
The End
Start again
Rob whistled all the way home. He was so pleased with himself and his lovely catch. At least
they wouldn’t go hungry tonight!
Mum- I’m home. Is
the pan ready for my
lovely fish?
Yes dear. All ready
and waiting for you!
Rob handed the lovely fish over for his mother to prepare it for the pan.
Choose: Does Rob enjoy a lovely tea with his mother or does she find
something inside the fish?
Rob and his mother was so hungry that the fish was eaten in no time at all, but at least they
could sleep well that night, free from gnawing hunger pains.
The End
Start again
When Rob’s mother cut into the fish, to her surprise, she found a glittering diamond ring.
Choose: Do they sell the ring at market or does Rob try to find the
owner?
Young Rob carefully took the glittering diamond ring down to the next village market. Rob
was given £10 pounds for it and Rob took home a basket full of food to last them all week.
The End
Start again
Rob rose early the next morning and set off for the castle.
Before long he met a strange little man on the road.
Should Rob hurry on his way or stop to speak to the little man?
You pass by me without a word
So you will pay the price.
I will take all you have of worth,
and in half a trice!
A spell on you I have now cast
and you will turn to stone,
and stand out here upon the hill
forever, all alone
The End
Start again
The little man asked…
What is your business at
the castle, my fine young
man?
Rob explained about the ring and his quest to find the owner.
Because you stopped to talk to
me,
I have for you a warning,
a giant guards the gate up there
but later in the morning,
he’ll take a nap and time you must
bide,
then spy your chance when he’s
fast asleep and then to slip inside.
Rob thanked the man and as he did,
the strange little man disappeared.
Rob continued along the path towards the castle.
As Rob neared the castle he could see the fierce giant
guarding the gate.
Should Rob try to get past the giant or wait until he falls asleep?
As Rob came nearer the giant began to growl, until the
growl became a mighty roar. He swung the huge trunk he
carried in his hand and squashed poor Rob flat.
The End
Start again
Rob crept behind a rock and waited until the giant’s eyes
began to close. Quickly and stealthily, he crept through the
gate and into the castle.
As Rob entered the hall of the castle, he met a beautiful lady.
What are you doing
here and how did
you get past the
giant who guards
the gate?
Rob explained about finding the ring inside the fish.
Rob carefully took the ring from his pocket.
My beautiful ring! I lost it down
the well one day. Thank you
for returning it to me.
The beautiful lady then explained how angry her father had been and how he had set
the giant at the gate to keep her imprisoned.
The lady took Rob to meet her father.
Father, my
beautiful ring has
been returned by
this kind young
man! What shall
he have as a
reward.
He shall choose
his own reward,
my child, but he
must choose the
dearest!
If he is wise, he
takes the prize,
much better
than the rest. I
wonder if this is
the one to pass
my little test.
The lady led Rob into another room which held a snow white steed and a chest of
gold.
The steed was sleek and swift of foot, the gold did shine and glisten
but Rob thought hard but to his heart, he knew he had to listen.
Did Rob choose the steed, the gold or the lady?
You chose well my boy. My magic
steed will earn you fame and
fortune. Treat him well.
God Speed.
Rob took the steed home and made his fortune but that’s another story.
The End
Rob took the gold home to his mother and they lived in luxury for the rest of
their lives
The End
Rob knew the dearest of all these things was the king’s beautiful daughter
Honest and wise you’ve proved to
be,
so with my blessing go.
You take the dearest thing to me,
so riches you will know.
In marriage take my
daughter’s hand,
my castle too and gold,
take all you see in way of land
and together grow happily old!
