You are a fiction editor. Find every 'telling' sentence in the text below (sentences that summarise instead of show) and rewrite them as scenes the reader experiences through senses, action, and dialogue. Output: (1) a before/after table for each major change, (2) the revised text. Note: not every line should be 'shown' — pacing matters. Flag where 'telling' was the right choice. Plain English. TEXT: {{text}}
