THE FANTASTIC BINOMY

Again GIANNI RODARI. In his book GRAMÁTICA DE LA FANTASÍA, he speaks about the FANTASTIC BINOMY. It is the combination fo two terms, two ideas. The more distant, the better. Why? SO that our mind establis connections.

For example: one cow and one button. Maybe the cow is eating grass and finds a button. It belgonged to a man who was running the day befores, escaping from the police. Or maybe the cow is differente from the rest: she likes getting dressed, and not beying naked. That is whay she has a jacket with buttons.

Make combinations with the following elements, and try to invent stories:

CAR

JUPITER

SANDWICH

DICTIONARY

CASTEL

CAIMÁN
MOUNTAIN

COAT

DESERT

EARTHQUAKE

CANYON

SIMPHONY
