The elephantine teacup had sunken into the unholy dirt, sinking more and more every minute. Strangely, a small pride of tiny lions had made it their cave (I don’t know why). Amazingly, after two days the lions started to make supports out of bamboo to hold the teacup up but the tiny pandas thought it was a brilliant snack. The next day, the lions built supports out of carrot sticks but four weeks later they started to get mouldy and break. After that, the lions decided they would just use really really stale bread that had been left out for two weeks.
Good change of formality and a good story
