Each alternate episode must end with fortunately or unfortunately.

He came downstairs as usual that morning and found that
that the kitchen was flooded, fortunately......

(Remember to end with unfortunately)

a snow storm began and it was soon six foot deep outside. The generator began to splutter and it was clear they would soon lose power. Fortunately

She realised Davey Crockett was her ideal man and set up house in a log cabin in the Canadian Rockies, unfortunately

She realized the ringmaster was a blustering eejit. Just then she spied a handsome rugged man shouting 'Mush!' and driving a sled and team of dogs. She raced across the field and jumped on the back of the sled, where the handsome man clapped a coonskin cap on her head. Fortunately....

as a once on a blue moon kind of event ,the bearded lady decided to shave, causing the ring master to go off her, meaning the adventuress used her female wiles to ensnare him after all, but unfortunately...

the ringmaster already had a partner in the bearded lady so was not interested in her advances. Fortunately

A traveling circus was going down the nearby road. Noticing all the commotion, the ringmaster loped over to the barn. Aghast at all the animals in peril, he summoned his elephant who used his trunk to rescue the cows and the bull! Two things struck our adventuress - to grab the cornflakes and run away with the circus! Unfortunately.....

the farmer was watching Netflix at that particular moment and enjoying his cornflakes so did not immediately notice that his herd was in danger. Fortunately

Where fortunately... there was a plate set un the ground to warn the farmer that cattle had fallen into the hole. Unfortunately

Her throwing skills were poor so she missed and the rope came slithering back to her as they all slid down and down into the sink hole where fortunately...

had paid close attention when learning her knots and was able to figure out how to form a lassoo with the rope. Unfortunately

Llamas99 Sun 04-Aug-24 08:57:59

the sinkhole began to expand. In the midst of this melee, the adventuress lost her costume, alas. Seeing the dire straits facing all in the barn, she grabbed a rope. Having been a star rodeo rider, she fortunately....

He managed to grab hold of the scarf which the heifer had tied around her tail and scramble back up, but unfortunately...

biglouis Sat 03-Aug-24 09:28:41

a mysterious sink hole opened in the ground and the bull began to slide down the resulting slope. Fortunately ...

Llamas99 Fri 02-Aug-24 21:42:55

the bull was cogitating on the alluring cows in scarves (one enterprising heifer tied her scarf to her tail - ooh la la!) but unfortunately.....

henetha Fri 02-Aug-24 10:57:13

Not noticing her dilemma, and not looking where he was going, he walked straight into a large bull which had escaped from his field and chased his cow harem into the milking parlour, but fortunately...

biglouis Thu 01-Aug-24 05:33:56

one of the farm workers was walking through the barn on his way to eat. Unfortunately he was scrolling his phone and ...

Llamas99 Thu 01-Aug-24 03:57:51

The dance of the cows was interrupted by milking time and our adventuress was herded into the automated milking barn. Screaming and shouting that she didn't want to be milked and indeed was not a cow, fortunately......

Ali08 Wed 31-Jul-24 14:14:39

...the scarves were of the local girls hockey team colours, so the cows looked fab.
But, unfortunately...

Llamas99 Sat 27-Jul-24 07:45:57

Trying to look fetching to regain the bull's regard, the cows retrieved scarves from the line and styled them on their heads looking very alluring indeed, fortunately.....

Ali08 Fri 26-Jul-24 13:14:04

Unfortunately, the bull was more used to the Hokey Cokey, so he got his legs all in a twist trying to copy the new steps.
Fortunately Daisy, the horse from a NEIGHbouring field knew both dances so she swiftly came to his aid.

Unfortunately...

Llamas99 Wed 24-Jul-24 17:37:39

the bull, not paying attention, tangled with the clothes on the line! He could not shed the clothes from his horns and pirouetted, pranced and danced a jig. The watching cows desiring his attention, finally taught him the hokey pokey, fortunately!

henetha Wed 24-Jul-24 10:49:22

But then along galloped a bull, eyeing up the cows until he saw our adventuress, pawed at the ground and headed straight for her and unfortunately.......

Llamas99 Tue 23-Jul-24 09:08:03

she had to climb a very high fence to get into the field. The cows merely looked puzzled and did not interfere fortunately......

Ali08 Mon 22-Jul-24 19:57:38

...there were plenty of clothes for her to choose from to make a costume but unfortunately...

Llamas99 Sun 21-Jul-24 23:36:08

Our adventuress had been invited to a costume ball but with no costume to hand. Having landed in a field, she spotted a clothes line in the near field fortunately.....
