Once upon a time, in a land where TREES grew GOLDFISH, there was a huge monster that could turn gold in to poo and wine in to sewerage. Fortunately there was a hero on his way to kill the monster, an Elf called Legless, coming to the land using his PLANE which he borrowed from a Hobbit called Pillpoo Saggins. He was getting on a bit now so had to use a WALKING STICK, but it didn't stop him being an expert with a bow and ARROW. Before he could land the plane, it crashed in to a FOUNTAIN which didn't contain water, but petrol, and the plane blew up in to FLAMES. Legless died, the monster took over the land and ate all of the trees and goldfish... At least that's what the DICE told us about this story, we bought a cheap Dungeons and Dragons BOOK and that's what it said. Anyway, erm, The End.

I was in a PLANE with my pet GOLDFISH, who apparently set on FIRE. I realised I had a candy CANE to eat, so I ate it, and then played DICE with my goldfish which was on fire. Then we crashed in to a bunch of TREES, and I read a BOOK about them and it says they need WATER. But I didn't care and I just died (ARROW).

Once, I was on FIRE, I died (ARROW), and I gone on a PLANE. I climbed up a TREE and met a FISH, I played some games with it (DICE). I read a BOOK about hitting fish with a crowbar (CANE), and then I stick my face in WATER.

Once upon a time, there was a FIRE, so a PLANE wanted to spray WATER at it. But it did it too early and it didn't put it out, so it crashed and all of the people and the driver died in the fire. And then they rolled a DICE and they turned in to a zombie. Then they looked at some swamp in a water feature (FOUNTAIN). Then they read a zombie BOOK about a zombie killing another zombie, and then the zombie TREE made all the zombies on the tree go all zombie raining. Then a zombie had a WALKING STICK because it broke its leg. Then they killed a FISH and it turned in to a zombie. They threw an ARROW at it. The end.

I was on a PLANE when we flew over a strange land, I decided to leave the plane by using my magic CANE and fly down. On the way down, I had to dodge someone shooting ARROWS at me.
Seems some people were reading a BOOK and rolling some DICE and one casting FIREBALL at me saying I was a warlock! I was hit and I fell into a TREE. A little stunned, I was changed into a FISH and then dropped into the FOUNTAIN that was nearby!

It was a lovely, HOT summers day in the nearby park, so I decided to go and read a BOOK there, sat under the lovely lush TREES.
I could hear the nearby FOUNTAIN splashing calmly, as children laughed and fed the FISH that occupied it.
An elderly couple were walking by with their CANES and greeted a friendly 'hello' to the people around them, including the group of friends sat near me who were rolling some DICE for the board game they were playing together.
Across from me was an archery class, that were trying to hit targets with ARROWS.
I took a deep breath and let it out slowly, as I looked up at the sky, watching a PLANE fly overhead.
This was such a lovely, calming day.

One day I was on a PLANE, taking a trip to Malaga, Spain.
On the journey I tried to read my BOOK by one of my favourite authors, Xinran, but I just couldn't concentrate.
The flight wasn't long and I landed in Spain in the early afternoon.
I grabbed my WALKING STICK from the overhead locker along with my backpack and headed to the baggage claim where I grabbed my remaining luggage.
I walked outside and the heat was like a roaring furnace (FIRE) but at least it was much nicer weather than back in the UK.
I made my way to the car rental place and the receptionist said I could have any pick of "these cars" which were pretty much all the same.
A roll of the DICE later. I chose my car.
On the way to the villa, which is in the mountains. I could see lots of nice palm TREES and one small village had a huge lovely FOUNTAIN.
When I got to the villa, I could see it had lovely views, straight like an ARROW, unobstructed to the sea.
It even had a pond with a few FISH in it.
I think I'm going to enjoy this trip :D

Not so long ago there lived a witch. She was a kind and curious one who tried to help others whenever she could. She also liked travelling the world, so one day she got one of her travel books out and decided to use some dice to determine the the page with her next destination. It ended up being a small town with a fountain that burned anyone who came near it. It was so faraway she decided to use the comfort of a plane instead of her broom to get there. When she reached the town she saw the ground around the fountain was burned to ashes. Nothing would grow anywhere near it and the townsfolk couldn't enjoy it on a hot day. It was just an ordinary fountain however, the creature living in it wasn't so regular. It was a fire breathing fish! It was nasty to anyone just walking by. Even if a fly flew over the water the fish leapt out and puffed a huge fireball at it.
The witch hoped to make the fish change it's attitude but as she got near, the fish attacked her with the biggest fireball the town has ever seen. The witch defended herself with her magic walking stick, the fireball hit a nearby tree. The witch quickly transformed her walking stick into an arrow and the next time the fish leapt out of the water the witch managed to pierce it with the arrow. She then cooked it over the fire of the burning tree and ate it. The townsfolk were happy the have their fountain back and made the witch an honorary citizen. The end. :)
