The Fishing Incident
One minute I went fishing — fishing invariably makes me nervous. Most people like to fish in streams, but I, in my wit, like to fish in rivers. Standing quickly, I baited the hook with a handbag (and a couple of silky waffles for good measure), leaned back, and lavishly cast my fishing shoelace. I waited for a whole millennium, whispering to relieve the boredom, when finally a gurgle caught my attention. Sarcastically, I pulled and waddled on my fishing shoelace, straining until my last ounce of arrogance was gone, and reeled in my catch.
I was creeped out. There, lying before me like a sneaky frying pan on a meerkat’s toenail, was a giant screwdriver. As if that weren’t scary enough, the screwdriver, to my utmost stamina, started to sigh.
Cheesily, I dropped my fishing shoelace and ran back to my castle, without looking back. I don’t know when I’ve been so ecstatic.
How about adding one of yours?

That was fun. I did Hamlet’s soliloquy. What I learned was that I have no idea what transitive and intransitive mean. . .

I was hoping people would cut & paste theirs here, hmh. Do you still have it?
I had to learn what transitive and intransitive verbs were in order to teach them – didn’t know the difference before that.
Basically, a transitive verb needs a direct object to complete its meaning and intransitive ones don’t, though sometimes the same verb can be either depending on the sentence.

The Knight and the Dragon
Once upon a time, there was a scaly knight named Chris, who, by his valiant wit, saved the kingdom from the silky dragon and condemned the princess in the nick of time. He rode his conniving aardvark from the cold cliff upon which the kingdom was built, journeying into the unknown. He was ecstatic and did not stop for fear the dragon would kiss them all.
By and by, he came to a giant wrench which blocked his path. He stopped and curdled sarcastically to himself. Then, summoning his wet stamina, he praised the wrench out of his way and continued onward.
At last, he reached the embarrassing castle of the scaly dragon. The dragon juggled at his approach. They fought cleverly. The battle was dirty and cold, raging a whole weekend, until at last, the knight seized the dragon by the earlobe and ate him in the nostril. The princess was grateful, and the knight touched her over his shoulder and returned to the king. The two promptly flirted, and they lived accidentally ever after.

I still wonder if it was the knight and the king who flirted and lived accidentally ever after…

I was tempted to go back and alter a few of my choices, but that would be cheating. I think it works rather well – I especially like:
“and that as Wooden and Airy States, they have full Power to play War, swoop Peace, ridicule Thinkings, feel Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Airy States may of right do.”
