  Making A Sandwich 
   
  When you make a sandwich, visiting Sandwich County comes in 3 steps: Prepping, Creating, and 
  Plating. Follow each step carefully to discover your visit. When you are satisfied, move on to the 
  next step. 
   
  Step One: Prepping 
  In Prepping, you will lay the foundations of your visit. Why are you here? Where do you go? 
  How is Sandwich County today? 
   
  
  Sandwich County 
  1. Begin by laying out all your ingredients on your work surface. 
  2. Start with your ​bread​: 
  a.
  If it is ​plain and white​, you are paying a regular visit. What do you always visit 
  Sandwich County for? 
  b. If it is ​wholemeal, seeded or something else​, there is an occasion in Sandwich 
  County. What is happening? 
  3. Then, ​count your ingredients​: 
  a.
  If there is ​only one or two​, you have an appointment to meet with a resident. 
  Where are you both planning to meet? Is this the same place as before? 
  b. If there is ​more​, you are here on a surprise visit! Why did you not announce 
  yourself? Is it normal for you to drop by so suddenly? 
   
  Step Two: Creating 
  In Creating, you will realise residents and neighbours of Sandwich County on your visit. Who 
  are they? What do they look like? Why are they here? 
   
  1. Begin by making your sandwich.  
  a.
  If there is a ​spread​, you meet a resident from the woods and leaves. It may be a 
  bear, a deer or someone else. 
  b. If there is a ​vegetable​, you meet a resident from the sky and mountains. It may be 
  a bird, a goat or someone else. 
  c.
  If there is a ​meat​, you meet a resident from the rivers and creeks. It may be a frog, 
  a snake or someone else. 
  d. If there is ​cheese​, you meet a resident from the fields and burrows. It may be a 
  field mouse, a rabbit or someone else. 
  2. You meet each resident in order of how you make your sandwich. Each time you meet a 
  new resident, they will ask you for a favour. They might have a problem to be solved, a 
  person they are looking for, or they simply want to spend time with you. 
  3. Each time you meet a new resident, decide whether a resident accompanying you leaves 
  to go about their business. If they do, how did you fulfill their favour? 
   
  Step Three: Plating 
  In Plating, you are finishing up your visit and heading home. How does the journey back feel? 
  If you do not plate your sandwich, you stay overnight at Sandwich County instead. Go straight to 
  Eating A Sandwich​. 
   
  1. Check your ​plate​. 
  a.
  If it is ​old and nicked​, someone accompanies your home. You both talk on the 
  way back. What do you discuss? 
  
  Sandwich County 
  b. If it is ​new and smooth​, your walk is long and contemplative. You witness the 
  beauty and simpleness of Sandwich County. What do you see? 
  2. How do you ​cut your sandwich​? 
  a.
  If it is​ cut in diagonal​, something unexpected happens. You bump into a resident 
  or see something extraordinary. Why does it surprise you? 
  b. If it is ​cut in halves​, you drop by your favourite spot. You come here regularly 
  when you leave. Why is it special to you? 
  c.
  If it is ​uncut​, your walk is uneventful but calming. What is the most beautiful 
  detail on your way back? 
   
  When all these steps are finished, your visit to Sandwich County is over. Give yourself a pat on 
  the back for making a great sandwich! 
   
   
   
  Eating A Sandwich 
   
  When you eat a sandwich, you recall a fond memory from Sandwich County. Enjoy your 
  sandwich slowly and savour the memory 
   
  1. If your sandwich is ​sweet​, your memory is about fulfilling a favour. Who did you help on 
  your last visit? What did you enjoy most when helping the resident? 
  2. If you sandwich is ​salty​, your memory is about a party. What was everyone celebrating? 
  What was something special you did at the party? 
  3. If you sandwich is ​sour​, your memory is about being alone at Sandwich County. Why are 
  all the residents busy? Where did you go to spend your time? 
  4. If your sandwich is ​bitter​, your memory is about a conversation with a resident. What did 
  you two talk about? Why was it so important? 
  5. If your sandwich is ​spicy​, your memory is about sharing. What did a resident ask you 
  about your world? What were they surprised by? 
   
  No sandwich is only one taste. If you taste many things at once, then pick just one memory. 
   
   
   
  THE END.
