English
1 answer:
statuscvo [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The aunt tells a story with a moral, but the children ignore the lesson.

Explanation:

Situational irony is a literary technique that is used when an unexpected outcome occurs in a particular case/event. This means that a normal reaction to an action does not happen, rather the opposite result occurs. This is exemplified in the story above. After the aunt tells a story with rich moral lessons, it was expected that the children would pick the main points. However, this did not happen as the children were disappointed in the story and did not grab any lessons.
