Re: once upon a time...
Eh, I think differently about Klingons having an opening line for stories....they are master story-tellers and take great pride in their over-exaggerated stories...I think they'd have an opener that only the best story-teller can think of...what that is depends upon the Klingon.

Why would a Klingon have a standard opening line for a story? They don't
even have a standard opening for a conversation.
I think they would simply start the story, without anything extraneous.
