Elements of a Story

This week, we have been busy dissecting fiction texts.  We have been looking for elements of a story like: characters, setting, and plot (problem/solution.)  After reading The Garden of Abdul Gasazi, please share the elements of the story.  
In your comment, please include:

1.   Characters - at least two main characters and their traits
2.   Setting - where and when the story takes place
3.   Problem - what is the problem of the story
4.   Solution - how is the problem solved

Happy posting!

1.The first character is Allen he is nice and does not want to loose fritz and can get very sad. The next character is very diffrent from Allen. The next character is the great Gasazi. He likes to play tricks on people and undo them.

2.The seting changes a lot so I will say all of them. They are at mrs hectors house,outside, garden,the great gasazis's house.

3.The problem is Allen lost the dog. Friz is a duck.

4. The solution is Fritz turned back into a dog and Fritz had Allen's hat.
