Help with Point Of View Mini-Stories

Question

Hi
I am new here and I am trying to learn English grammer and this place seems a good one for getting help for my English..

While surfing I found a person's experience in learning English grammer and the process was like this:

First she listened to a short story in the present tense. She listened to it everyday.
Then, she listened to the exact SAME story-- but this time it started with "10 years ago...." She learned to "feel" the past tense by listening to this story.
Next, she was given the exact same story. This time, it started with "Since 2004..." She learned to FEEL the perfect tenses by listening to this story.
Finally, she was given the exact same story... beginning with "Next year". She learned to FEEL the future tense simply by listening to this story.

Now can any one plz help me in writing these stories, so that I can record it and listen to it and feel the different forms.. If you can, plz write in as many forms as you can do without much stress..

Thanking u..

PS: If u find any mistake in my writing plz let me know..

Thank you very much, AlpheccaStars, for ur quick reply. I really apprecite it..
Actually I registered and tried to log in but the email for my approval has not arrived.

Now, if you can, please help me with this story:

Long, long time ago there lived a poor boy called **** Whittington. He had no mother and no father, and often nothing to eat. One day he heard of the great city of London, where, said everyone, even the streets were paved with gold. **** decided to go to London to seek his fortune.

London was a big and busy city, full of people both rich and poor. But **** could not find any streets that were paved with gold. Tired, cold and hungry he fell asleep on the steps of a great house. This house belonged to Mr. Fitzwarren, a rich merchant, who was also a good and generous man. He took **** into his house, and gave him work as a scullery boy.

**** had a little room of his own where he could have been very happy if it had not been for the rats. They would run all over him as he lay on his bed at night and would not let him sleep. One day **** earned a penny shining shoes for a gentleman, and with it he bought a cat. After that ****'s life became easier - the cat frightened away all the rats, and **** could sleep in peace at night.

One day Mr. Fitzwarren called all the servants of the house together. One of his ships was leaving for a far-off land with goods to trade. Mr. Fitzwarren asked his servants to send something of their own in the ship if they so desired, something which could perhaps be traded for a bit of gold or money. **** had only his cat to send - which he did with a sad heart.

**** continued to work as a scullery boy for Mr. Fitzwarren, who was very kind to him. So was everyone else except the Cook who made ****'s life so miserable that one day **** decided to run away. He had reached almost the end of the city when he heard the Bow Bells ring out. 'Turn again Whittington, thrice Lord Mayor of London' chimed the bells. **** was astonished - but he did as the bells said and went back to Mr. Fitzwarren.

When he returned he found that Mr. Fitzwarren's ship had returned, and that his cat had been sold for a great fortune to the King of Barbary whose palace had been overrun with mice. **** had become a rich man.

He soon learnt the business from Mr. Fitzwarren, married his daughter Alice, and in time became the Lord Mayor of London three times, just as the bells had said.

Thank you again for your kind help..
