Froggie was hoppily happily hopping along one day, down a bridge over his favorite river with his most favorite lily pads.

Then he spotted something gray and large. At first, he thought it was a bunny rabbit with a huge fuzzy tail, but then as he hop-hop-hopped closer, he noticed it was a wig! This, he thought, will solve all of my baldness problems!

Bald Froggie was exhilarated at his new discovery. He put the wig on, then hopped down to the riverbank and peered down into the river. He looked at his reflection and marveled at his beauty. “How wonderfully handsome I look in this wig! Now, everyone will love me!” he said excitedly.

He moved in closer to the rushing river, then suddenly, his wig slipped off! "Oh no!" Froggie cried. "My wig! My wig! Someone get my wig! Without it, how shall I be admired? How will I be beautiful? Oh good gracious me, somebody get my wig!" He flapped his little frog arms about and hopped up and down crying for his wig back.

Froggie then began hopping quickly down the riverbank, chasing after his newly found love. Sadly, the current of the water was faster than he was. But he was determined, oh yes he was, to get his wig back.

Then, a clearing came up, and the river sounded faster and louder than ever. Oh no, he thought. There's a waterfall! MY WIG! I'm going to lose my wig! Then, before his very eyes, he saw the now gray blotch in the distance disappear over the edge of the Earth -- so it seemed -- and his wig was now gone. Forever.

Tears welled up in Froggie's eyes and he sat at the edge of the riverbank and looked once again at his reflection. "How ugly I am now, without my wig," he said aloud.

He put his hand on his head and felt his bare head. He hung his head in shame.

Then a gray bunny was hopping along, and noticed the moping frog. The gray bunny hopped up to him and asked, "What's wrong, friend?" "Oh nothing," he sighed heavily. "It's just, I found a wig, you see, and then it fell in the river when I was looking at myself in it. Then I chased it down, but it fell over the waterfall, and now it is gone."

"Oh my," the bunny said sympathetically. "That's too bad, but..." She examined him, up and down, inspecting every inch of his bright green body. "But what?" He questioned. "But I think you look handsome, no matter what. You don't need a wig to make yourself attractive; beauty is all natural. Artificial items don't make us beautiful; our own personality does.

And obviously, you have a charming personality, therefore you are beautiful." She pointed into the reflective mirror. "Look at yourself, friend, there is nothing for you to be ashamed of."

He peered once again over the bank and stared into his reflection. He stared long and hard, and after a few seconds of gazing, he blinked a few times and looked back to the gray bunny. She was gone. She had disappeared in a matter of seconds. He glanced around quickly, wondering where she could have gone. The gray bunny who was sitting right there, next to him just seconds ago, was now gone.

This puzzled him deeply. But he looked back into the river, where he then saw, the gray bunny next to him, in the reflection. Then he heard the faintest whisper, "See, my dear bald friend, you are beautiful."

The End

"Happy birthday, Bear," Fox greeted while handing Bear his gift.

Bear studied the package. It was wrapped in a silver wrapper and and seemed pretty light. The box was rectangular and seemed very sturdy.

Many of his friends had given him large packages wrapped in beautiful decoration and birthday balloons. "Oh well," thought Bear, "my best friend gave me the smallest gift.

Soon after the party was over, Bear was opening presents.

He glanced at the small package and threw it into the neighbor's yard. "Thanks a lot, Fox," the brown grizzly muttered.

When all the presents were opened, Bear sighed in disappointment. All of the gifts were toys that came out years ago. "I wonder what Fox gave me," he remembered.

Just as he walked out the door to the neighbor's yard, he heard an excited cry.

"What a surprise! It's Honex Bee Honey! They say it's the best honey in the world.

How true they are!" shouted Gray Bear. Another disappointment. "If only I kept that gift," regretfully groaned Bear.

Once there was a boy called Jordan who got teased at school for doing all of his work and behaving well.

After a few years, Jordan had successfully gone through college with lots of degrees while his friends were still struggling to find a jobs.

He got married to a girl called Pauline and got a great job being a journalist.

He lived happily ever after.

One day a female grasshopper was walking home from the market to bring home some milk to her mother. She carried it on her head.

While she was walking, she was thinking of the money she would make.

She was thinking when she got all of the money she would get new clothes and new shoes and that all the boys would want to talk to her and she would toss her head like a model.

But what do you know? The milk fell over on the ground! She ran to her house to tell her mother about the cause and didn't get her money.

One day in Africa there lived a monkey who lived among the banana trees. He would always swing with his tail and eat bananas at the same time!!!!!

But one day he looked up and said, "OH NO! THERE ARE NO MORE BANANAS!!!!!! !!!!!! I MUST HAVE EATEN THEM ALL!"

So monkey walked and walked until his feet were RED!"

"WHAT IS THAT, WHAT IS THAT I SEE? ITS A HOUSE!", monkey yelled. He walked into the house and said, "I see another animal!" it was a cat. "Hello", said the cat. "Why are you in my wonderful house?", she asked, but there was no reply from monkey . "HELLO!", said the cat.

"Oh, sorry. I guess I was day dreaming. Ok, here is the truth. I was looking at your tail I and was hoping to buy one like that", monkey said.

"Well what are you waiting for let's go!" And they where off to the tail shop. "I found the one like yours. It is fluffy, white, and very very pretty."

"OK, that will be $12.68", said the clerk. "Yea, I've got a tail like yours!", said monkey.

"Now I'm going to go home and test it out", said monkey. "Ok", said cat.

On the way home monkey sang a song. I got a pretty tail and you don't!

But when he got up in the morning he tried to swing. But he could not swing.

So the next day monkey went back to the store and read a sign, "No trials in this store. Tails are good for swinging and the tails are permanent."

When monkey got home he said, "I'm happy with who I am and what I have!

THE END.

Once upon a time there lived a girl called Ella. She did not know how to spell anything at all. She had to stay back in reception.

One day she sat next to the smartest person in the class, so she decided to copy her. The next day she sat next to a new girl.

The teacher found out and Ella had been cheating to get her spelling words right.

Ella had to stay in reception until she was 30!

One day Jerry the elephant got a game ball that Jack the mouse wanted.

Later on that same day, Jerry went over to Jacks house. They played with the game ball.

Then Jerry started to brag about the game ball and that made Jack very sad. Then Jerry remembered how it feels when you brag.

Jerry said I am sorry. Jack said its ok. So they both played the game happily.

One day a fox named Bob challenged a mouse named Frank to a race.

Ready, set, go... and Bob ran so fast that Frank couldn't see him.

Bob started to lay down to look cool.

Frank quietly ran past Bob.

Suddenly bob woke up and tripped on a rock.

Frank ran across the finish line.

There were once five friends. They were: The Lion, whose name is Ronny; the name of the Shark is Erick; the name of the cat is Chester; the name of the dog is Harold; the fox’s name is Tony.

Tony was walking along and he saw on the edge of the road that Erick was fighting with Ronny and that Harold was fighting with Chester.

Stop said Tony. What is going on? Erick said that Ronny took his hat.

Tony asked why Ronny took Erick’s hat. Ronny said he took it because he looked awesome with the hat on.

While they were having the argument, Harold was fighting with Chester because Harold says that Chester plays dirty when they play cards together.

At the end, Tony asked everybody to be quiet so that he could speak. He told them that they should be nice to each other because they were friends before they started fighting, and so that they can be friends after having an argument.

He told them also to forgive and forget because sometimes friends may fight with each other, but they should still be friends forever.
