5-word round-robin story time

Either post a five-word subcomment to one of those below, or begin your own five-word comment for others to continue, to tell a story that no one but the next commenter controls! (And if you don't like where one subcomment has taken the story, you can post your own subcomment to the previous comment to take it somewhere else…just like normal Reddit.)

For example, if someone commented "The king of France is", the next person might subcomment "not a human, but a", and the next person might subcomment "certain kind of sea cow", then the next person might subcomment, "He worked hard at the" and so forth and so on. But maybe you want to take the story somewhere else, and after "The king of France is" you subcomment "taking a zeppelin to the" etc.—that's fair game!

If a comment doesn't properly follow the wording of the previous one, or doesn't have the right number of words…you know what to do.
