Sample story (short)
Once upon a time, a little guy went to sail on his boat. One day there was a horrible storm and his boat
sank. Luckily, there was a small desert island in the ocean, which saved his life. He was stranded
(=stuck) on the island alone for 6 months. All this time, he kept thinking about having Tacos in his

taste the Tacos as if it was real. But then he kept reading and noticed the small print saying “today
only.” How tragic. He cried out in pain, “If I were at home, I could eat as much Tacos as I want, but I’m
stuck here and this voucher is only good for today. Why can’t somebody save me?” And then, all of a
