Once Upon a Pun……..
Once upon a time, the book said it needed space because it felt over-storied
The storyteller became a gardener because he loved tale-blooming
The plot joined the gym to get some story-muscle
The villain quit because the narrative was too twist-ed
The princess opened a bakery since she kneaded a better fairy-dough
The dragon started writing because it loved fire-typing
The narrator tripped but called it a dramatic fall-chapter
The castle hired a comedian for better jester-telling
The hero brought a map because he feared story-lost
The fairy switched jobs to become a spell-editor
The knight carried a pencil for sword-scribing
The book got tired and needed a story-nap
The queen laughed so hard she created a royal-ripple
The page flipped itself, claiming it was self-plotting
The tale ended happily because it was well-bound

Friday’s Movie Trivia of the day!  
In 1998, Guy Ritchie directed his first full-length feature film. Which British crime film surrounds a group of small-time criminals who go deep into debt with the wrong man after a high-stakes card game?

 Answer:  The correct answer was Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels! In 1998 Guy Ritchie announced to the world that crime movies can be chaotic, bloody, funny, and stylish all at once… cheerfully following in the footsteps of Quentin Tarantino who’d made a similar announcement across the pond some years prior.  The story follows four friends who think they’ve got a fool-proof plan to win big in a card game, only to end up owing a very dangerous man a very large sum of money.  From there, the plot bounces from various gangs, associations, and bystanders all somehow brought together in one explosive scene. And Sting plays the bar owner, so what’s not to like?

Friday’s Quizzler is….
I am like a gigantic dragon winding through deserts, grasslands and plateaus,
and am well over 2,500 years old.
I am high, strong and massive and have a greyish-blue colour,
but parts of my body are now in ruins and have disappeared,
although sections of me that still remain have great historical significance.
I began as a baby dragon some 700 years before the Christ appeared on this earth,
and as the years endured I grew to be an adult,
all the while continuing to strengthen my keepers.
Whilst I am considered to be the longest graveyard in the world,
no one is ever buried within me anymore.
What am I?
 
 
ANSWER:  The Great Wall of China.
With a history of more than 2,500 years, some of the sections of the Great Wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions all around the world owing to its architectural grandeur and historical stature.
The construction of the Great Wall began between the 7th and 8th centuries B.C. when the warring states built defensive walls to ward off enemies from the north. It was only a regional project then, until the Qin Dynasty, when the separate walls were joined together and consequently it stretched from east to west for about 5000 kilometres and served to keep nomadic tribes out. The Wall was further extended and strengthened in the succeeding dynasties, especially during the Ming dynasty, when the northern nomadic ethnic groups became very powerful. The Ming rulers had the Wall renovated 18 times. As a result, not the remains from the Qin dynasty were restored, but some 1000 kilometers were constructed to a full length of 6,700 kilometers. It is said during the construction of the wall, one worker is buried every metre within the rocks of the wall.
The Mandarin word for ‘The Great Wall of China’ is Wanli Changcheng.
