Q: Once you’ve sketched out the main components of the story, begin fleshing them out. Establish the setting and the relationship of the characters to the setting, which should be an easily recognizable place that's directly tied to the events of the story. Present the conflict between the characters in enough detail that the conflict or problem is clear and begs for resolution.  Be sure to move efficiently from a causal event to its effect. Don’t meander away from the point of the story. Everything that happens in the story should be directly and clearly related to the problem and its resolution/moral. Work on making the pacing of the fable quick and concise. Don’t waste time with unnecessarily elaborate descriptive passages or meditations on the characters and their surroundings. For example, in "The Tortoise and the Hare," the plot moves quickly from the initial challenge to the race to the hare's mistake and then to the tortoise's victory. Dialog is a key component in conveying a character’s personality and perspective, so rather than explicitly describe a character’s traits, use dialog to illustrate those characteristics.  Be sure to include enough dialog among the characters to illustrate the relationships between them and the nature of the conflict they face. For example, the two characteristics of the tortoise and the hare are established as level-headed and calm on the one hand, and boastful and rash on the other, as we can see through the tone of their dialog: "I have never yet been beaten," said he [the hare], "when I put forth my full speed. I challenge any one here to race with me." The Tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge." "That is a good joke," said the Hare; "I could dance round you all the way." "Keep your boasting till you're beaten," answered the Tortoise. "Shall we race?" After showing the nature and details of the conflict, begin moving the story towards its resolution.  There should be a clear and direct relationship between the characters’ actions, the development of the problem, and the illustration of the moral/resolution. Make sure there is a resolution to every aspect of the problem previously established and that there are no loose ends. Referring again to the fable of the tortoise and the hare, the resolution comes when the boastful hare races ahead and then stops to take a nap, while the level-headed tortoise simply plods along, eventually passing the sleeping hare and beating him to the finish line. When the plot of the fable has resolved itself, set out the moral or lesson of the story.  In fables, the moral of the story is typically stated in a single, pithy sentence.  Aim to state the moral in a way that summarizes both the problem, the resolution, and what should be learned from that resolution. The simple moral of the tortoise and the hare, for example, is, "After that, Hare always reminded himself, "Don't brag about your lightning pace, for slow and steady won the race!" It encapsulates both the mistake--being lazy and arrogant from over-confidence--and the lesson to be learned--that slow and persistent will win over quick and careless. The title should capture the spirit of the overall story and should also be enticing enough to catch the reader’s attention.  It’s usually best to save this step until you’ve written or at least outlined your story so you can ensure that the title you choose will reflect the story overall. You might choose something basic and descriptive, in the tradition of Aesop's Fables (eg, "The Tortoise and the Hare"), or choose a slightly more creative or irreverent title like "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" or "The Eyebrow Story."
A: Fill out your outline. Set the plot in action. Develop dialog. Set out the resolution. Articulate the lesson. Choose a creative and relevant title.

Q: Wash several soft, red or pink guavas. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. While you can leave the peel on, it will make the juice thicker and grittier. Use a sharp knife to carefully chop the guavas so you get 3 cups (495 g). Put the chopped guavas into a blender or food processor. Blitz the guavas until they're smooth and pulpy. Set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and transfer the guava mixture into it. Stir the mixture so it passes through the strainer. You can discard the seeds that are left in the strainer. Transfer the strained guava juice to a cocktail shaker. Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, 3 tablespoons (37.5 g) of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of fresh mint. Put the lid on the shaker and shake it for 10 to 20 seconds. This will combine the pulp with the seasonings. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you could just whisk the ingredients together in a bowl or measuring jug. Put a handful of ice cubes into 2 serving glasses. Pour half of the guava mixture into each glass. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold, filtered water into each glass. Stir the drinks so the guava and water combine. Serve the drinks right away. If you like thicker guava juice, just use less filtered water.
A: Wash, peel, and chop the guavas. Blend and strain the guava. Shake the pulp with the seasonings. Stir in water and serve the drinks over ice.

Q: Make sure that the stain remover and water are thoroughly mixed.  This method is best used on bears with a voice box. The oxygen stain remover will help get rid of any difficult spots, but a mild detergent will also work. Completely cover the spot with the water and stain remover liquid. Wait 5-10 minutes for the mixture to absorb, but don’t let it dry completely. Use small, circular motions to rub the mixture into the spot. If it is still visible, repeat the first four steps.  You can also use a paper towel for blotting. Depending on the nature of each spot and how much the stain has soaked in, you may need to repeat the process. You may blot the bear until it is dry, or you can leave it to air dry.
A:
Mix a quarter capful of oxygen stain remover into a bowl of warm water. Saturate the dirty spot with the mixture. Rub the mixture into the bear with a clean towel. Blot the spot with a clean towel. Rinse the spot with cold water and blot again with a clean towel.
