I posted about Story Telling Day a bit earlier, but I've gone back to add a link to yours.<br /><br />I didn't have time to make up a new story in honor of the day, so I dug up a few of my old favorites. For instance, a <a href="http://letsplaymath.net/2007/03/21/skit-the-handshake-problem/" rel="nofollow">dramatization of the handshake problem</a>:<br /><br />"<i>[As the first narrator begins to speak, the actors come on stage and silently greet each other.]</i> Narrator: Seven friends meet each other in the hallway before class. Being polite young ladies and gentlemen, they want to shake hands with each other, and they don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings or leave anyone out. <i>[Actors give the narrator a strange look, but then they begin to shake hands all around.]</i>..."Denisehttp://letsplaymath.net/noreply@blogger.com
