G A M E (Let's write a short story...)

Question

Hey all. Here is a game we used to play in Spanish class. One person would say a sentence starting with, "Había una vez..." The next person would add another sentence elaborating on the first one, and so on, until we had a short story together.

So here's the game: 1) I write a sentence beginning with, "Había una vez..." 2) The next person copies sentence and continues the story (please bold your sentence). 3) The following person copies the first sentences and continues the story (with the new sentence in bold). 4) And so on... until someone stops it with, "El fin," and begins a new story with, "Había una vez..."

Rules: 1) It is perfectly fine to change the story from one plot line to another (e.g. "Entonces él murió y su madre, María, se casó con Felipe..."). 2) You cannot end the story until there are at least 10 sentences in the story. 3) No run-on sentences using "y... y... y..." 4) Keep it kid-friendly. 5) Almost forgot, you may correct someone's grammar when you add your sentence.

So, let's begin...
