Once Upon a Time

The sharing of stories is how we communicate and so people are born loving stories. Stories bring us together and foster community, understanding and culture through their telling. As story tellers we have all seen the power of stories and we are all on the look out for new material. This blog has been setup to foster sharing amongst story tellers so please feel free to use any material here and share your stories with others by e-mailing me.

The Strange Visitor

Once upon a time there was a little old lady. She was sitting at home, minding her own business, doing what little old ladies do when they’re sitting at home minding their own business, when suddenly there was a knock at the door.
“Come in,” said the little old lady.
In came a pair of feet, that sat themselves down on the cold, cold, floor.
That’s strange, thought the little old lady, but before she could say anything, there was a knock at the door.
“Come in,” said the little old lady.
In came a pair of legs that sat themselves down on the feet that sat on the cold, cold floor.
*Ditto*
In came a body that sat itself down on the legs that sat on the feet that sat on the cold, cold, floor.
*Ditto*
In came a pair of arms that sat themselves down on the body that sat on the legs that sat on the feet that sat on the cold, cold floor.
*Ditto*
In came a head etc etc
“What do you want?” asked the little old lady.
“I want food, and I want it NOW,” said the strange visitor. And it didn’t even say please.
“How rude,” said the little old lady. And then she said “BOO!”
Away flew the head and the arms and the body and the legs and the feet, and all that was left was the cold, cold floor.
“What a Strange Visitor,” said the little old lady. “I wonder who will visit me tomorrow.”
