The monkeys wore masks and when the elephant passed by the monkeys they screamed Booooooooo!  The elephant got real scared and he learned his lesson.   So whenever he passes by the monkeys he says "hello."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Squirrel Learns a Lesson
By Anisa, USA
Moral:  Cheating is Bad
My fable:

Once upon a time there lived a fox.  He had three friends.  Their names were, Bird, Horse, and Squirrel.  One day Fox and Squirrel played a game of chess.  Squirrel cheated; he moved pieces so he can win.

Fox told him, "You are cheating."  Squirrel said, "No I am not."  Fox said, "Yes you are cheating."  Squirrel said, "I am sorry.  I did cheat.  I think you have to teach me not to cheat."  Fox said that he will give Squirrel some advice.

What is the point of even playing if you're going to cheat and there will be no challenge if you cheat?  "Well, I have to go," Fox said, "I will meet you here tomorrow and we will play again."  That night Squirrel thought hard about what Fox said then he went to bed.

Well it was tomorrow so Fox went by Squirrel's house to play chess. So they played and Squirrel didn't cheat.  Squirrel learned a lesson.

The Lion and the Apple Tree
By Mark H. and Josh, New York
Moral:  If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
Our fable:

Once upon a time there was a bear, a deer, a rabbit, and a beaver.  These animals were very hungry.  In the middle of a beautiful meadow there was a big, juicy, sweet apple tree.  There were two reasons why the animals could not get the juicy apples.   One reason was because the apples they were too high.  Another reason why they couldn't get the apples was because there was a swift, sly, and fast lion guarding the tree.

One day the deer ran in the meadow and said, "Run! Run!  A hurricane is coming!"  The lion asked in fear, "What should I do?"   The deer said, "For Pete's sake, run!"  So when the lion was gone the animals went to the tree and tried to pile up the animals from biggest to smallest to reach the apples.  That didn't work, so they ran around the tree until they were dizzy and then hit the tree.  Suddenly, the apples came down!  And they lived 'appley' and dizzily after.

The Two Tigers
By Randi and Catherine, New York
Moral:  Too much of anything often leaves you with a feeling of regret.
Our fable:

Once upon a time there was a tiger but there was something wrong with him.  The tiger was white with silver stripes.  The tiger loved himself because he thought he was beautiful.   Everyday the tiger would get more and more stripes.  The tiger loved when he got more stripes.

One day a real orange and black striped tiger came to the forest with all of his heavy luggage.  The big orange and black tiger teased the white tiger a lot.  One day the big tiger said to him, "I challenge you to a competition so we can see who is the best tiger in all of the land."  The white tiger didn't know so he said, "Give me until tomorrow at the same time and place we are standing now."  The big tiger said, "OK, but you better not trick me."

Night fell and the tiger still did not know what to do.  The tiger started to eat his thick vegetable stew.  The next day the tiger said that he would do it.  They swung, they raced, they played dodge ball, they even lifted weights -- but they still couldn't decide who was best.

The next day the orange and black striped tiger said he did these kinds of things all the time.  The tigers did that every day until the tiger said, "I can't do this any longer.  I give up because this is filling me with a lot of regret."

Moral:  Sometimes it is best to admit your feelings.
Our fable:

Once upon a time, there was a Tiger that was living in the forest peacefully. Then along came some horrible hunters hunting for that Tiger so they could take her skin and make the skin into a coat for winter. The hunters had spotted the Tiger, and she couldn't think of anything to do.
Suddenly, she dashed deeper into the forest. The hunters pretended to be the Tiger's prey to fool the Tiger to come toward them. When the Tiger got tempted and got near enough, they trapped her. When a little Mouse came along and asked if she was scared because she was in danger. The Tiger said, "No, I'm not scared because I'm a Tiger." Mouse said, "OK," and went back to the forest.
The hunters came back and they took her skin off of her and set her free. Then the Tiger met Mouse again, and Mouse said, "If you had told me you were scared, I could have helped and then this would have never happened."
