Family History Software: Getting Your Family To Create Legacies Through Writing – Part 3
The reason I think family history software, including family tree software, should support and promote stories is because I’m a huge believer in the power of stories. They could even be part of family tree diagram. Telling a story maybe the greatest component to include when giving a presentation or in public speaking. When it comes to families, telling a child a story can be multiple times more effective than giving a lecture. Helping children learn to write or tell stories is one of the greatest things you can do. What follows in this article is part three of a story my son is writing, which will make great family history.
He grabbed it and came to know it was one of the Wizard’s shape shifting masks. He realized with a grin that the Wizard had probably taken the other one into the town. Boy would he give the villagers a fright when they saw a dog or some other animal suddenly change into the Wizard. Many people feared the Wizard and some he thought he was a member of the dark forces. Of course the Wizard was a loyal subject and friend to the king so no one really had anything to fear from the Wizard as long as they didn’t get on his bad side.
He remembered the Wizard put up protective magic in his domain but Gavin hadn’t encountered any yet. The Wizard must have been in a hurry. He looked up to the book shelves and saw a book missing from the dark magic area. The Wizard frequently leaves the scripts there or on the table. He found the book opened up on the table. He walked over and took a look at it. His eyes widened as he realized the Wizard was studying possessive magic. Possessive magic is where you take control of a creature or plant against the laws of magic. Why would the Wizard be studying this? At that moment the Wizard burst through the door. He saw Gavin looking at the book.
Gavin witnessed surprise and then frustration on the Wizard’s face. “What are you doing in here uninvited?” the Wizard said through his teeth trying to control his anger. “I… I knocked on your door and… and”, he stuttered then the Wizard cut him off.
“Have you no respect for other people’s property?”
“I’m sorry sir. I knocked on your door and I waited for a long time and I saw the book on the table and so I started reading.”
“Ah well it’s only natural to be curious.” The Wizard walked over to the table where Gavin was sitting and picked up the book. He snapped it shut and he put it back on the empty spot on the shelf.
