A story mountain, filled in
Try the default idea: a curious gardener finds a lost key.
- Setup: The gardener finds the key beside a locked greenhouse.
- Rising action: The key opens the door, but the plants inside are wilting and the water tank is empty.
- Turning point: The gardener finds a blocked rainwater pipe and clears it.
- Resolution: Rainwater reaches the plants again; the gardener decides to check the pipe each week.
