Plot : A series of of events through which the writer reveals what is happening, to whom, and why.
Theme: The «message» the writer intends to communicate by telling the story. Different from the topic. Must be written in a sentence.

3. Next, give a solution to solve the problem.
4. The solution doesn’t work as there is a twist in the story. Here you can add multiple solutions and twist based on your imagination and the word limit given in the story.
