Patronymic. ... A patronymic, or patronym, is a component of a personal name based on the given name of one's father, grandfather (i.e., an avonymic), or an even earlier male ancestor. A component of a name based on the name of one's mother or a female ancestor is a matronymic. Each is a means of conveying lineage.

A matronymic is a personal name based on the given name of one's mother, grandmother, or any female ancestor. It is the female equivalent of a patronymic. Around the world, matronymic surnames are far less common than patronymic surnames.

Develop a story in 80 to 100 words with following ending. Give a suitable title. ..............and they lived happily ever after
taurus [48]

Answer:

As Dad was tucking us into bed and he switched off our light. My sister said, "I still do not believe in Monsters and Fairies". I think I went to sleep at about 10 o'clock.

I kept looking out the window at the full moon which was very bright. The trees were waving in the strong wind. I could hear wolves and possums in the trees.

That night as the window swung open a Monster jumped through the window and snatched me out of my bed. The Monster had red eyes, big fangs and was dribbling and looking very hungry.

When I woke up I was in a dark scary cave. The cave was misty and hard to breathe in. Then I heard a buzzing sound and a few seconds later I saw mini fairies with swords and gold shiny armour. Their swords were as sharp as the Monster's fangs.

Above me the black scary Monsters and the fairies had a big punch up.

When the Monster and the fairies were fighting I slipped away and ran to my house.

This time I really did live happliy ever after.
