Show don't tell 2:

Tell: The Knight was arrogant and greedy. He did not want to help others. He only wanted to be viewed as the most handsome and talented warrior in the land.

Show: Sir Larry Snob, Knight of King Kong, stood next to the princess, doing is job; supposedly. It was the day of Queen Kong's birthday, and all the villagers were trying to impress her majesty, to win a smile and gracious bow from the queen herself. All the knights in the land were there, making sure that the royal family was safe from any danger. All except Sir Snob. He was standing in his position, yawning rudely, and slowly falling asleep. He just wanted these villagers to get out of the castle, so he could show off his talents to everyone. All he was thinking was 'Pfft. These no good villagers are talentless! I could verse all of them with my eyes closed and still win the Queen's respect over them. Plus, all the women would rather watch a piece of eye candy, like me, then these lumpy potatoes with no skill or talent.'
