Can You Tell A Story In…

It’s Thursday once again and that means five-word story time. Your new word this week is:

FAMILY

So can you tell a story in five words using the word FAMILY in it somewhere?

Last week’s word was SPELL. Here are your SPELLING stories:

Keith Channing:

Spell your assignation, be proud,

Project it aloft to the cloud.

Each time that I fail

Leaves me weak and frail;

Losers are just not allowed.

Kim Smyth:

Sit for a spell, please!

I spell hard words well.

Darlene:

Put a spell on me.

She cast an evil spell.

She can´t even spell it.

Can you spell his name?

Ruth Scribbles:

Spell that for me, please!

Just wait for a spell.

Her spells work for good!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Spell skeleton correctly (not skellington).

She made a cursing spell.

A spell on rowing duty.

Work that spell on Cinderella.

Spell smell with double L.

Found- chocolate cake magic spell.

First spell of spring weather.

Terveen Gill:

The groans spell his pain.

Annette Rochelle Aben:

Please spell me off, okay?

Val Fish:

Under his spell, she yielded.

I never could spell propply.

Sunny spells bring sunny smiles.

Linking People 2013:

Learn to spell correctly always.

Attention to spelling helps concentrate.

Language learning through spelling dictation.

Gender hormones naturally cast spell.

Richmond Road:

Simply
Place
Each
Letter
Laterally.

EDC Writing:

Your spell

returned

back under.

Lance Greenfield:

Sorcerer’s apprentice spells cleaning chaos.

Befuddled? I spell a rat!

Let me spell it out.

Your charming spell enchants me.

Cry me a spelling river.

    ….FAMILY, word of five letters!

    ….FAMILY disintegrating in West faster!

    ….BABIES fewer in European families!

    ….REFUGEES surge compensates European families!

    ….AMERICANS families entertaining refugees now!
    
     ….परिवार, चार अक्षरों का शब्द!

    ….पश्चिमी परिवार तेजी से बिखरेगा ।

    ….यूरोपीय परिवारों में शिशु कम!

    ….शरणार्थि दासता वृद्धि, यूरोपीय परिवारों !

    ….अमेरिकी परिवारों को सस्ता शरणार्थि ।

      ….GREAT! Indeed, family is an unit in the Marriage Institution, a hallmark of every civilisation in the world; unfortunately marriage rate is declining, worst of all divorce rate after marriage has gone up to 50-60% in the West! Fallout is decreasing population; the West is eager to accept refugee Ukrainians now! Thanks and Welcome! f: Ajay Simon Richard

      …महान! वास्तव में, परिवार विवाह संस्था की एक इकाई है, जो विश्व की प्रत्येक सभ्यता की पहचान है; दुर्भाग्य से विवाह दर में गिरावट आ रही है, विवाह के बाद सबसे खराब तलाक की दर पश्चिम में 50-60% हो गई है! नतीजा घट रही जनसंख्या; पश्चिम अब शरणार्थी यूक्रेनियन को स्वीकार करने के लिए उत्सुक है! धन्यवाद और स्वागत है! f: अजय साइमन रिचर्ड

    Shameful Harry’s forgotten his family
    Family tree full of skeletons
    Family should always come first
    Have family values been forgotten?
    Family feuds can ruin lives
    Feathers fly in family feud.
    Fleeing families need our help.
