Writer's Digest, August 2008, page 14 offers this writing prompt:
"Work the following elements into a single scene: a frightened animal, a civic leader, and a small audience." From the Pocket Muse: Endless Inspiration by Monica Wood.
Take a moment and list 10 animals -- and what frightened them? Then take another moment and list 10 civic leaders. What the heck, one more moment will get you a list of 10 small audiences. Now take a look at them and pick the animal, the leader, and the audience. Feel free to do some random combinations if you want to.

A frightened squirrel, the mayor of a small town, and the daughters of the American Revolution? What happens when they meet? Or what about...

Go ahead, write that scene.
