Once upon a time there was a king, named King Author, who ruled the Kingdom of Writing.

He had three very smart and very beautiful daughters. The only problem with the girls was that they were

highly competitive with each other. They wanted to gain the attention and admiration of

their father, even though they already had it, for he loved them all just the same.

The king loved telling his stunning and clever daughters stories. He told them stories about when they were young and how much fun they had playing together.

He told them stories about what their future held and how they would find a suitable mate whom they would love and who would love them for all of time and eternity.

He warned them that they must seek a suitable mate who would love them for who they are and not for who they wish they would be.

King Author was deeply concerned that the girls’ competitive nature with each other’s talents might get in the way of them finding the perfect mate.

To help the situation, he decided to have a grand writing competition.

He secretly hoped that the competition would help his lovely and able daughters to appreciate their own talents and understand that they all have a valuable purpose in the Kingdom of Writing.

The first task was to tell his striking and bright daughters and the suitors a story.

The second task was for the fine-looking and sharp daughters and suitors to respond to the story in writing.

The third task was to let his attractive and gifted daughters read the responses of the suitors and select the one that they knew was their true mate.

(At the same time, he let the suitors read the responses written by his three gorgeous and quick daughters.)

Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Writing, there was king named King Author who loved his three daughters so much he could hardly stand it. He never wanted to let them go. But he knew he had to let them move on in their lives because keeping such beautiful and intelligent young ladies cooped up forever would be a crime, to say the least. So King Author had a competition to find the best suitor for each of his daughters. The competition was so successful that his daughters and the suitors were able to figure out who was the best suitor for each of them and there was no disagreement whatsoever. Each daughter married the proper suitor and everyone lived happily ever after.

A long time ago, in the Writing Kingdom, King Author adored his three daughters so deeply, it was maddening. He wanted to keep them forever and ever. However, he knew he had to let them grow up, get married, and being their own lives because it would be a shame to keep such beauty hidden. Therefore, the king created a competition to find the best suitor for each daughter. The competition was a success and each suitor and each daughter figured out, on their own, which match was the best, and it was done without any arguing. From that time forward, they lived the happiest lives that ever there could be.

In a land long ago, in the Kingdom of Writing, King Author loved his daughters so deeply, he never wanted them to leave his side. However, he knew, to be fair to them and considerate to their striking beauty and amazing intelligence, he had to allow them to move on with their lives and marry. Subsequently, King Author created a competition in order to find the best man for each of his daughters. The challenge was a success and each daughter and each suitor was able to know beyond the shadow of a doubt who they should marry, without disagreement. All three daughters married the proper suitor and all three couples lived the rest of their lives in marital bliss.

King Author, of the Kingdom of Writing, loved his three pretty and smart daughters so much that he knew they needed to move on to build their own lives in order to remain as happy as they already were. To find proper mates for his daughters, he invited suitors to a competition, which went as planned and each daughter found just who she would be happy with for all of time and eternity.

King Author, of the Kingdom of Writing, loved his three girls so very much because they were so lovely and smart. As much as he wanted to keep them in the kingdom forever, he knew they had to move on with their lives. To accomplish this, he created a competition to help the girls select the proper mate, which went as designed and all three daughters found their perfect mates and lived the remainder of their lives in happiness.

Long ago, there was an amazing competition created by a clever King to find proper suitors for his three daughters. This contest was a remarkable stroke of genius on the part of the King because he was able to, in a single afternoon, find the most suitable mates for all three of his daughters. Everyone was thrilled and lived the happiest and most prosperous lives.

I heard about an extraordinary contest to win the hand of one of the most beautiful and intelligent daughters of the King of the Land of Writing, King Author. I dashed over immediately and tried my hand at the writing challenge and found my true love. We bonded immediately and are living happily for all of time and eternity.

All three of the King’s daughters read each of the suitor’s responses and all three of the suitors read each of the daughter’s responses and there was no question about it…everyone found their perfect match.

Para and Phrase selected each other and together enjoyed taking their time through life, savoring each detail, embellishing with synonyms to assure each piece of life was accurately portrayed…together they were ParaPhrase, a match of detail that provided greater clarity for all to appreciate…

Summa and Rize selected each other and together they enjoyed condensing what they knew and experienced so they could make time to experience even more, they were happy to pair things down and sum things up…together they were SummaRize, a match of abridgement in a nutshell…

Synthe and Size selected each other and together they enjoyed crafting new things from what they had, they loved the challenge of seeing things from new perspectives and learning and growing as they combined all sorts of elements and created new entities…together they were SyntheSize, a match of convergence and constant renewal…

Now how do we know the girls really lived happily ever after?

Just because the suitors and the daughters said they lived happily ever after, does that mean they really did?

What information from the writing responses leads you to believe that each of the suitors were a good match for the each of the daughters?

When is it important to Paraphrase?

When is it important to Summarize?

When is it important to Synthesize?
