Competition

No. 1321:Consequences

Set by Jaspistos: This familiar game often takes the form of 'X met Y (place of meeting specified); X said . . .; Y said . . .; X did ...; Y did ...; the consequence was ...; the world said ...' You are invited to apply this formula amusingly to two characters who did meet and whose meeting had historical consequences (maximum 100 words). Entries to 'Competition No. 1321' by 1 June.
