Print the Silly Story! 🖨️😂

Time to show off the funny result! 🎉 Let's print the whole silly story in a fun, fancy way!

A great story deserves a great presentation! 🎭

print('Here comes the silly story!')

Print on Many Lines 📜

A story is more fun on several lines! Each print makes a new line. 📜

Let's tell our tale one line at a time.

print('Once upon a time...')
print('there lived a silly dragon.')
print('The end!')

Add a Title 🎬

Every story needs a TITLE! 🎬 Let's print a big fun title at the top.

We can use stars or lines to make it pop! ✨

print('=== MY SILLY STORY ===')
print('Once there was a robot...')

Decorate With Symbols 🎀

Make it pretty with decorations! 🎀 We can repeat symbols using *.

'*' * 20 makes a row of 20 stars! A fancy border! ✨

print('*' * 20)
print('THE BIG ADVENTURE')
print('*' * 20)

Empty Lines for Space 🌬️

A blank line gives the story room to breathe! 🌬️

An empty print() with nothing inside makes a blank line. Nice spacing!

print('First part of the story.')
print()
print('Second part of the story.')

Put the Words in the Story ✏️

Now let's drop our silly words into the printed story with f-strings! ✨

The words appear right in the sentences. So funny! 😂

animal = 'penguin'
food = 'pancakes'
print(f'The brave {animal} ate 50 {food}!')

A Full Silly Story 📖

Let's print a WHOLE story with a title, words, and decorations! 🎉

This is everything coming together into one funny tale!

hero = 'Super Sock'
verb = 'wiggle'
place = 'the bathtub'
print('=== SILLY STORY ===')
print()
print(f'One day, {hero} began to {verb}.')
print(f'It happened in {place}!')
print('Everyone laughed. The end! 😂')

Add Emojis for Fun! 😜

Emojis make stories EXTRA silly! 😜 You can put them right in the text.

Sprinkle them in to add personality! 🎉🦄🍕

animal = 'cat'
print(f'The {animal} 🐱 flew to space 🚀 and ate stars ⭐!')

Repeat the Funny Line 🔁

Want a silly chorus? Repeat a line with a loop! 🔁

'Ha ha ha!' three times in a row is even funnier!

for i in range(3):
    print('Ha ha ha! 😂')
print('What a silly story!')

A Big Finish 🎆

End your story with a BANG! 🎆 A big 'THE END' with decorations.

Leave them laughing and wanting more! 🎉

print('And they laughed forever!')
print('~' * 15)
print('   THE END! 🎉')
print('~' * 15)

Print Your Own Story! 📖🎨

Your turn! Make YOUR silly story print beautifully. 🤩

Add a title, your funny words, emojis, and a big finish! 🎆

animal = 'walrus'
food = 'jellybeans'
print('*** MY STORY ***')
print()
print(f'A {animal} 🦭 ate a ton of {food}! 🍬')
