Ok. Some of the other guys have posted a bunch of story ideas. I haven't really took the time to think up any of my own yet but there are plenty stories in my head that have been passed onto me via books or other people. Here's one i remember being told when I was really wee and i loved it.
The Umbrella
Starts off, 2 characters come out of a building into the pouring rain.
They aren't happy, but at least they have an umbrella.
A little old man comes up to them and has a favour to ask of them. Hesitantly he asks if he could borrow 2 pounds in exchange for his umbrella. His reason being he is too old for this weather, he would really rather get a taxi but he left his wallet at home (he was only out for a walk) he will give the couple the umbrella for 2 pounds, he also says he paid 15 pounds for it.
After some thinking through and questioning the couple decide to help him out and they give him a 2 pound coin. The little man very pleased hand the silky umbrella over to them.
'Thank you very much' the man says to them.
The couple see the man cross the road and turn around the corner into the next street. They think 'why didn't he just call a taxi from here?'
They both cross the road and headed in the same direction, curious.
Just as they turn the corner they see the little man enter a building further down so they keep going and they peek in the window.
Looking in the window, they saw the little man hand the 2 pound coin over to a barman while gesturing with his finger 'one'. A few seconds later the barman comes back with what is clearly a pint of guinness.
The little man downs the pint in one, which is a feat in iteslf cosidering the size of him.
He then gets off his bar stool and heads for the door.
On his way out, while walking past the coat stand he reaches out and takes an umbrella hanging there as if it was his.
Then leaves.
