Rory's Story Cubes - the counterbalance to Soduku!

Here is a web variation of a game called Rory's Story Cubes. I invented these using creative problem solving. Designed for all ages, Rory's Story Cubes and this web variant will help develop your imagination, creative thinking and pattern matching skills. Here is today's grid... Instructions for Rory's Story Cubes...
  1. Starting with "Once upon a time..." create a story that somehow links together all the symbols in the Grid.
  2. You can start with any symbol, and end with any symbol.
  3. Use each symbol at least once.
Simply, but fun. I'd really appreciate it if you posted your stories as comments. And be sure to check back for more stories. I'll aim to add one a day.

Like the idea, I printed the picture and made up a story for my daughter, she so enjoyed it. This also gave me the idea to use it in http://www.squidoo.com/goodnight/

we will see what happens. I want to make myself some of those dice.

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback Lantz. Who else would like to see more these StoryCube grids posted?

I will post a new one later today, anyhow.

Are there actually Story Cubes dice available? It'd make a fun game.

Heath, you can order version 1 of the Story Cubes by dropping me an email (rory@thecreativityhub.com), or from Kadon Games (http://www.gamepuzzles.com/rscubes.htm) in the US. Version 2 of the Story Cubes (with inscribed icons and greater durability) will be available by the beginning of next month (all going well).
