I liked the story about King O'Toole and His Goose. I could not help but think of people who get older and lose their ability to do something that they love. When the goose came into the picture, I could not help but think about how some parents try to live vicariously through their children when this happens to them. I could write a story about a father who loved a hobby/sport (maybe baseball) and pushed his son to love the sport as much as him. Maybe the son gets injured and someone offers to make him better. Or instead of getting injured, maybe the son loses his talent and ability to play. Maybe the person who offers to help the son or daughter to regain their skill is really a great baseball player in disguise. I will probably leave it as a happy ending instead of having something bad happening again at the end.
