Hieroglyphs

I’ll tell you a story today. This story does not begin with “Once upon a time …” but gives you some pictorial view. I promise that you’ll like the way it was written.

Try to follow the pictures in left to right order. Now try to symbolize the story as:

picture:1 : Once upon a time (com’n this is my favorite since childhood) there was a King.

picture 2: There was a Princess too!

picture 3: The King and the Princess got married. (now the Princess became a Queen)

picture 4: Few years later, the Queen conceived.

picture 5: Alas! the Kind died :=(

picture 6: A baby was born few months later. He would be our Prince.

picture 7: The queen died. 

picture 8: Our Prince was growing as an orphan.

picture 9: Our Prince inherited the throne as he was young and we got a new King! 

Did you find this way of telling story interesting? This technique is known as hieroglyphs which came from the ancient Egyptians. If you want to learn more, try these:
