#3

 #3: The dictionary atop your shelf has more than 200,000 words defined. Why don't you blow some dust off the cover and randomly pick out 10 words? Don't look at the meanings, just concentrate on the words. Write down your chosen words. Now, you're going to have fun creating meanings for those words. What do the words make you think of? What do you think they should mean?
