WTF?

The ¡dirty ¡li4le ¡secret ¡of ¡ Storytelling ¡Boot ¡Camp… ¡ I ¡have ¡nothing ¡to ¡teach ¡ you. ¡

2 minutes Think about a time when there was something you really wanted. 2 minutes Tell a story about that time to the people in your group in 2 minutes or fewer. Start with the person sitting farthest to the left. The person who will go last is the timekeeper.

When everyone at your table has told a story… 1 st storyteller: open this envelope and follow the instructions inside.

What do these stories have in common?
