Choose any story or fable. The first one you bring to mind is best. It may be a childhood fairy tale, a classic myth or anything else you want. You might begin : “ Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl who was sent to sleep for ages and ages by her evil stepmother. She lay in a room deep inside a castle. Round the castle was a prickly hedge. Kings and princes cam looking for the girl, but none of them was strong enough to hack through the hedge.”

4. Story or Fable
• Choose any story or fable. The
first one you bring to mind is
best. It may be a childhood
fairy tale, a classic myth or
anything else you want.
• You might begin : “ Once upon
a time, there was a beautiful
girl who was sent to sleep for
ages and ages by her evil
stepmother. She lay in a room
deep inside a castle. Round the
castle was a prickly hedge.
Kings and princes cam looking
for the girl, but none of them
was strong enough to hack
through the hedge.”

5. Story or Fable
• To get more from the story, you
can go on and become each one
of the people and things in the
story.
• From the above story, you could
choose to be the girl, the
stepmother, the room, the castle,
one of the princes or the hedge.
• As the hedge, you might say : “I
am hedge, I am sturdy, rough and
prickly. All my prickles are
pointed outwards, so that people
can’t hack me around. My job is
to protect that young girl who is
asleep inside me.”
