- One person begins with a sentence (e.g., One day Little Johnny walked to the local shoe shop).
- The next person tells of something unfortunate that happens (e.g., Unfortunately, Little Johnny was hit by a refrigerator.).
- The following person contributes a fortunate event (e.g., Fortunately, the refrigerator was made entirely of marshmallows).
- The fourth person will contribute an unfortunate event (e.g., Unfortunately, these marshmallows had poisonous spikes on them)
- The fifth person will contribute a fortunate event (e.g., Fortunately, the spikes also contained the antidote), and the process is repeated
One day the young girl went to the grocery store.
