So here is what I came up with to try to salvage the idea . I have no idea if any of you would be interested in participating , but what I had in mind was to accumulate a list of addresses , and put the bandanna , a copy of the list , and a bunch of stamps in an envelope and send it out to the first person on the list . Then that person signs it , puts it in a new envelope with a few of the stamps on it and sends it on .
Question: What is possibly the purpose of this idea ?
To do something fun .

Pause again . Tch , tch - tch , tch . As another crash of thunder rolled overhead the door creaked open , revealing the face of Remus Lupin peering cautiously round , a tea towel dangling from one hand . He looked down at the soggy dog and frowned . He dropped the tea towel on the dog's head then hurried off down the hall and reappeared moments later with a large blue bath towel , which he handed to the gaunt man now dripping on his hall carpet .
Question: Why did Remus Lupin hand a bath towel to the gaunt man ?
Because the man was wet .

I planned to go to the shopping centre all week. Finally it was shopping day. I dressed comfortably, made my shopping list and grabbed my purse. On my walk to the shopping centre I thought about all the things I would buy. Most of the things on my list were items I needed. A tooth brush, some bread, pencils, socks. I had clipped some coupons and knew I would save a few dollars so that I could get that new game I like. I couldn't wait to see it on the shelf and actually hold it in my hands. I arrived at the shopping centre. It wasn't very busy and I was glad of that. First I did all of my important shopping. And sure enough I had enough money for the game. I rushed to the electronics section and sunk in despair when I saw the shelf was empty. They were sold out of the game I had waited so long to play. The store clerk saw my disappointment and offered me a rain check for when they got more stock in. It would be about 2 weeks' but there was hope. I gathered my things and went home. I marked my calendar for when my next trip to the shopping centre would be... in two weeks. Now all I could do was wait... patiently of course!
Question: Who paid for the purchases?
Narrator
