Once
"Once I escaped from an orphanage to find Mum and Dad.
Once I saved a girl called Zelda from a burning house.
Once I made a Nazi with toothache laugh."
Morris Gleitzman begins each chapter with "once". Write your own opening sentences starting with "once". They can be a memory or completely absurd and made up. Just write down the first thing that pops into your head.
