Earlier this week I asked some friends to help me write a story. So I came up with the first few lines and each of my friends then added on, creating a story train that went a little something like this...
Jordan: Once upon a time there was a Bobcat named Max who...

Kiel: One of the bees from the honey comb was heading right for him! So the husky ran away. As soon as the dog was out of sight Max made friends with the honey bees, ate his beloved honey and dried off in the sunshine...
