Once upon a time……

Long, long ago……

The alarm clock was ringing……

Many years ago……

The street was empty……

The wind was howling……

When I got up today……

It was snowing heavily…

It was my first day in a new school…

The first thing I remember was…

Where was I?

It was nearly bedtime……

What happened next?

Someone gets lost

…happily ever after

…and we all went home

…and he was never seen again

…that was the end of that!
