You will decide whether your world has animals in it, or people, or both, and whether the animals behave as people or as animals, or as both.2. You will decide whether there is magic or not, and if there is magic, if anyone knows that there is or not, and if anyone knows about it, whether they tell anyone or not.3. You will decide how many of the puppets will die, and how, so that we can have it happen at the right spots in the show.4. You will decide if you want the puppet show to be funny or not. The puppet show will always be sad, but it can also be funny in parts.5. You will decide if the theme should be: marriage, sickness, enchantment, inheritance, or revenge.6. You will come up with the name of the villain. All the other names come out of the villain’s name. The villain’s nature, even that comes out of the villain’s name. The only thing that doesn’t come out of the villain’s name is the expression on the face of the puppet which will be our hero or heroine. That we will paint last, when we know everything.
