Stories[]
Story 1 (A word with two Ls in it)[]
The sun was setting. The light was magical. And the water lapped the shore of the lake.
“Right,” said Greg. “Get your clothes off; you’re going in.”
“I don’t want to,” said the scrawny, sausage-shaped man.
“I need you to retrieve the stone I just threw in,” whispered Greg, noisily. “It’s one of my favourite stones I think,”
And so little Alex Horne…
Story 2 (A word with a U in it)[]
In the morning, I like to have a pot of coffee and a slice of cake. Little Alex Horne brings them in when I ring my little bell. I let him wear his yellow cape if he is a very lucky boy.
Story 3 (A word that starts and ends with the same letter)[]
These are the clothing rules the Taskmaster expects those around him to adhere to at all times:
- The shirt should be tucked in. REALLY tucked in. RIGHT in.
Story 4 (A six-letter word)[]
I don't remember much about that fateful night. It was cold. The moon was full and - oh that. I'm not an idiot. And I can't be held responsible for the terrible accident that happened to little Alex Horne
