Jasper and the Old Boots - Introduction

Over the weekend I enjoyed a nice long walk in the Cotswolds with my wife and two friends.  As we were hiking across the lush green fields we noticed a little white dog running alongside us.  He had actually been travelling in the same direction as us for quite some time.  It made me wonder, where had he come from?  Where was he going?  Was he lost or was this something he did everyday?  Then I thought to myself, these are the sorts of questions that would be great to explore in a short story.

The Interactive Story
The idea of the next story is to create a short adventure with the help of... you!  I have so much fun making up new stories with many children from lots of different places that I thought we could try writing one together here.

How will it work?
I will begin writing a story based on the idea of an adventurous dog.  Every now and then I will stop to ask for an idea of where the story should go next.  It is then up to you to move the story on by suggesting your ideas (by leaving a comment below that part of the story).  Whether you are young or old, everyone is invited to take part!  Who knows where our imaginations will take us?
