4 Sentence Story

Players stand in a circle or a line to tell short stories. Each player contributes exactly one sentence. The four sentences follow this model:

Setup/Routine → Problem → Solution → Moral

Example:
- Player 1: 'Once upon a time in Japan, a young samurai set out on a journey.'
- Player 2: 'One day, he lost his sword in a deep river.'
- Player 3: 'So he learned to fight with chopsticks instead.'
- Player 4: 'And the moral is: you can eat your way out of any problem.'

This exercise trains concise storytelling and narrative structure.
