Can You Tell A Story In…

Happy Thursday! Here’s your new story challenge:

Can you tell a story in 25 words? You must use the following words somewhere in the story:

  • SPADE
  • OPERA
  • HORSE

Last week’s prompt was to tell a story in 15 words using the following two words in it somewhere:

  • TUTU
  • VEGAN

Here are you hilarious stories:

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Her tutu was made of vegan moss, edible and light to wear. It won awards!

Lance Greenfield:

Chanting, “Vegan dance!” Archbishop Desmond Tutu inspired the WHOLE congregation to rise to their feet.

Trent’s World:

Fripp in a tutu? Toyah a vegan? Rock’s odd couple bares all on Sunday Lunch.

Chris Page:

She loved her silk tutu, but since turning vegan she had to sell it online.

Kim Smyth:

The vegan princess’s daughter danced wearing her tutu at the school’s noontime harvest moon ball.

Val Fish:

“Don’t understand this vegan nonsense, all beans and tutu. Yuk!”

“It’s tofu, Mum…”

“Still yuk!”

Treehugger:

Black Sabbath ballet? Tutus and tiaras? This modern world! Desperate Dan eating vegan pies maybe?

  3. On the way to the opera in the horse drawn carriage, the horse spit the spade bit from his mouth, resulting in a run away.

  4. Some very funny 15-word stories. here’s mine for this week.

    After the performance, she took her spade to the Opera House and started digging. She decided it would take a horse to move the body.

    ….IN AN ASTONISHING twist, a spade-wielding horse 🐎 named Greenburgh sang opera, mesmerising the crowds with its deep voice and unique talent, becoming an overnight legend!

  7. A spade is a spade.
    I can’t dress up the fact that I would rather go to the horse races than to the Opera.
