States |

Learn |
| My fable
is:
One day a little boy's mom had to make him
go to school. The boy's mom drove him to school and then he went to
school and didn't pay attention. The teacher
knew because he was looking out the window.
She asked him a question that he didn't
know because he wasn't paying attention. He
said, "I wasn't paying attention".
Some time later
realized what he wanted to be 20 years later.
He wanted to be a teacher.
When he was teaching the kids asked him a
question that he didn't know the answer to. So he was looking all over
for a book and he remembered that that was the same question that his
teacher asked him and he said, "I don't know".
Later that day
he found his teacher's phone number and he called her and he said,
"I'm very sorry for not paying attention in school. I should've
listened." |

No Nay Straw |
|
Paula & Geoff, Adults, United Kingdom |
|
The moral is: Believe in yourself
and value your talents. |
| My fable:
Once upon a time in a far off Celtic land,
there lived a brilliant musician. One day he was called to the palace to
play for the King and his court. As he arrived at the palace the servant
showed him to his bed for the night and he was shocked to find that he
had to sleep on straw in the barn.
He told the servant to take a message to
the King that unless he slept in the palace he would not play at all.
The King was outraged by this and told the musician to leave the
palace and he was forbidden to play music in the land ever again.
The musician however, loved his music so
much that he just could not obey the King and continued to play his
music wherever he could but never told people his name so as not be to
found out by the King. When the people asked him why, he told them the
story of how the King had forbidden him to play in the land after he had
refused to sleep on the straw in the barn. Being such a good musician
his story spread across the land and he soon became widely known by the
name of "No Nay Straw" for refusing to sleep in the barn.
The years passed on and at the palace,
the King's daughter was soon to be married. To celebrate her wedding she
invited all of the best dancers and musicians in the land, including "No
Nay Straw", to perform on her wedding day.
The day of the wedding dawned and No Nay
Straw arrived at the palace in disguise to avoid being found out by the
King. However, when it was his turn to play, the King listened and knew
that only one man could play so well. The King told No Nay Straw to take
off his disguise. No Nay Straw stood before the King and spoke,
"Yes, it is me, the one you banned from
playing years ago but I cannot stop the music
for it is what I love and what I must do and so I will leave".
The king paused for a while and then
stood up and spoke to No Nay Straw. "Stop
where you are" he shouted. "I realize now such
good music must be heard, and so I say to you now, play, play with all
you heart, play". No Nay Straw smiled and started to play again and all
the other musicians smiled and cheered.
Soon all the crowd was cheering as well
as No Nay Straw played the best music they ever heard in the land. The
king then arose and proposed a toast. "I say
now that no musician shall ever have to sleep in a barn again and from
now on all musicians in the land shall sleep a proper bed and never
shall they sleep on straw again! |

Katie The Shy Koala |
|
Nicole J., 13, Australia |
|
The moral is: The Gentle and weak
are sometimes more clever than the strong and fierce. |
| My fable:
Katie the koala was walking home one sunny
afternoon when cocky cockatoo was going for his afternoon run. Cockatoo
ran past and started to tease Katie for being slow.
None of the animals liked Katie because
she was too slow and they could not race her.
The next day Cockatoo was playing with
his friends in the playground while Katie was watching. She would rather
draw or write stories. Suddenly, a big gust of
wind came rushing down and knocked a branch off a tree. Katie quickly ran
over to pick the branch up, but Katie was too
weak and the branch was too heavy for her.
Cockatoo heard about this and in a gloating manner picked up the branch
and moved it out the way.
The animals teased Katie and said she was
weak and that she was just a baby. But Katie just ignored them. All the
other animals didn’t like playing games with Katie because she was
always too gentle.
But one afternoon when all the animals
were at the river Cockatoo thought that he would show of and try and
swim out in the deep. Katie told him not to because he could drown. But
he just said that he doesn’t listen to silly koalas and that he wouldn’t
drown.
So he dived in and started swimming and
swimming and swimming till he could not touch the bottom
any more. He got so far out that he started to
drown and all of the other animals did not know
what to do as they could not swim.
But luckily there was a tree hanging over
the water. So Katie climbed up the tree and grabbed Cockatoo's
hand. Katie pulled and pulled and pulled and dragged Cockatoo back where
he could reach the bottom and safety.
After that day,
Cockatoo realized that Katie was very clever and good at climbing trees.
They became friends and all the other
animals liked her. In return Cockatoo flew to the highest tree and
grabbed her a big bunch of gum nuts and leaves. |
