Once upon a time, a {adjective1} {noun1} {verb_past} all the
way to {place}. Nobody expected to find a {adjective2}
{noun2} there, but there it was - all {number} of them!

The crowd began {verb_ing} immediately. It was the most
extraordinary sight anyone in {place} had ever seen.
The {noun1} smiled, took a bow, and disappeared forever.

THE END.
