(Stories and novels) القصص والروايات
الرواية هي سرد نثري طويل يصف شخصيات خيالية أو واقعية وأحداثاً على شكل قصة متسلسلة، كما أنها أكبر الأجناس القصصية من حيث الحجم وتعدد الشخصيات وتنوع الأحداث، وقد ظهرت في أوروبا بوصفها جنساً أدبياً مؤثراً في القرن الثامن عشر، والرواية حكاية تعتمد السرد بما فيه من وصف وحوار وصراع بين الشخصيات وما ينطوي عليه ذلك من تأزم وجدل وتغذيه الأحداث
A novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book. The present English word for a long work of prose fiction derives from the Italian novella for "new", "news", or "short story of something new", itself from the Latin novella, a singular noun use of the neuter plural of novellus, diminutive of novus, meaning "new". Walter Scott made a distinction between the novel, in which (as he saw it) "events are accommodated to the ordinary train of human events and the modern state of society" and the romance, which he defined as "a fictitious narrative in prose or verse; the interest of which turns upon marvellous and uncommon incidents". However, many such romances, including the historical romances of Scott, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, are also frequently called novels, and Scott describes romance as a "kindred term". This sort of romance is in turn different from the genre fiction love romance or romance novel
A short story is a piece of prose fiction that typically can be read in one sitting and focuses on a self-contained incident or series of linked incidents, with the intent of evoking a "single effect" or mood.

A dictionary definition is "an invented prose narrative shorter than a novel usually dealing with a few characters and aiming at unity of effect and often concentrating on the creation of mood rather than plot."

The short story is a crafted form in its own right. Short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components as in a novel, but typically to a lesser degree. While the short story is largely distinct from the novel or novella (a shorter novel), authors generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques.

The Whipping Boy    

 The young prince was known here and there (and just about everywhere
else) as Prince Brat. Not even black cats would cross his path.
 One night the king was holding a grand feast. Sneaking around behind the
lords and ladies, Prince Brat tied their powdered wigs to the backs of their
oak chairs.
 Then he hid behind a footman to wait.
 When the guests stood up to toast the king, their wigs came flying off.
 The lords clasped their bare heads as if they'd been scalped. The ladies
shrieked.
 Prince Brat (he was never called that to his face, of course) tried to keep
from laughing. He clapped both hands over his mouth. But out it ripped, a
cackle of hah-hahs and haw-haws and hee-hee-hees.
 The king spied him and he looked mad enough to spit ink. He gave a
furious shout.
 "Fetch the whipping boy!"
 Prince Brat knew that he had nothing to fear. He had never been spanked
in his life. He was a prince! And it was forbidden to spank, thrash, cuff,
smack, or whip a prince.
 A common boy was kept in the castle to be punished in his place.
 "Fetch the whipping boy!"
 The king's command traveled like an echo from guard to guard up the
stone stairway to a small chamber in the drafty north tower.
