Characters: the children that the story is being presented to are the key characters. you may bring fictional or real world people into the story for comedic and dramatic effect.
Take-off: The bed must first shake, then quiver, than rise a few inches off the ground and shoot through the window (without breaking the glass). Interesting details of the travel should be inserted while they fly (this gives you time to come up with a destination and a conflict).
Conflict: This must be dire and exciting, possibly stolen from a movie or book. The Conflict will result in heroic gestures and input from all key characters, and be concluded by an epic escape/defeat/reunion.
Denouement: The key characters return to the flying bed and go home. Each of them gets a souvenir to put into their flying-bed-adventure chest.
