The Fable Of The Snake And The Robin
Taylor, 17, Manitoba, Canada
The moral of my fable is:  It is better to act wisely than to appear wise.
My fable is:

The snake came to the robin one day and said, "Robin, why is it that we are not better friends?" The robin replied, "Because I know that you only want to eat me."

The snake stated his innocence saying, "No, I come to you now looking for your help. I am in need of advice."

The robin was surprised by this, as many of the animals thought that he was foolish. "I may not be the best to ask for advice. Why don't we ask the fox?"

He seemed unhappy, but the snake agreed. "After we see the fox, then will you give me advice?", he asked, to which the robin agreed.

The robin flew to the fox's cave, perched in a tree outside and waited. The snake slithered up to the fox's cave and asked the fox, "Fox, can you give me some advice?"

What do you want?", the fox responded. "I have caught something in my eye and I do not know how to get it out. What should I do?", queried the snake.

But the fox did not like the snake so he told him, "I cannot help you. Go ask the owl. He is said to be wise".

The snake was annoyed and called out to the robin, "Robin, will you help me now?" But the robin replied, "Let us listen to the fox and ask the owl for advice".

So they went to see the owl, the robin sharing the owl's tree while the snake called out from below. "Oh owl, will you aid me? I am in need of advice. "What advice do you seek?", asked the owl". I have caught something in my eye and I do not know how to get it out. What should I do?"

The owl deliberated and said to him, "Why should I help you?" The snake said, "I have asked the robin and the fox and they could not help me. The animals of these woods know that you are the wisest of all and without your help, I will continue to suffer this pain."

Hearing this, the owl was flattered and said, "Let me see what is in your eye and then I can tell you how to remove it".

He flew down from his tree to examine the snake. Then the snake struck out at the owl, poisoning him. "What are you doing?", cried the robin in alarm.

The snake answered, "I had hoped to have a robin for dinner, but now I can feast on owl instead."

The Gardener And The Dog
Alejandro, 10, Michigan
The moral of my fable is:  Don't bite someone's helping hand.
My fable is:

Once there was a dog named Happy. He had a very grateful owner: the gardener.

He helped happy with pretty much everything like feeding him, grooming him, and giving him pure devotion.

On a Sunday, the gardener went to buy more fertilizer for his crops and left Happy all alone. That day Happy got his tail stuck in a small heating vent in the wall. He yelped and screamed as he attempted to wiggle his way out of this trap he'd gotten himself into. But no matter how much he tried, he just couldn't get out.

When the gardener arrived he saw happy whining and dropped his bag in pure shock of seeing this. He also said, "Do not fret my wonderful dog. I will free you".

When the gardener went to help Happy, the wretched dog bit him!

And the farmer had told him that he will not have a dog who bites a helping hand. So the gardener will no longer help Happy. He just left Happy there all alone. The gardener had no regrets.

A True Friendship
Samantha, 15
The moral of my fable is:  Don't allow little problems to ruin friendships.
My fable is:

Two girls were in class one day when they had a problem. They didn't agree on their nail color.

The two girls both made a big deal out of it.

Their problem went on for over three weeks. The two girls grew further apart until they were no longer friends.

Then one day the girls realized that to carry the problem on was childish and they didn't want it to go on any more.

They didn't like the idea that they let something like this come between them. The valued their friendship and never wanted this sort of problem to happen again.

Friend Or Foe?
Keivon, 9, North Carolina
The moral of my fable is:  Be friendly.
My fable is:

A boy named John was a nice a person. He had a foe named Mick who was mean.

Every time at school Mick always bullyed John.

John was trying to tell him to be friendly but Mick wouldn't listen. John told his teacher that Mick should learn the meaning how to be nice.

John's teacher told Mick to be nice and he was then nice every time. Friend beats foe, or did it?

BIG Fat Liar
Keivon, 9, North Carolina
The moral of my fable is:  Kids, don't lie like this.
My fable is:

Once in the morning there was a boy name Josh who lied a lot.

When his mom left the house she told Josh not to break her new vase.

Josh was throwing a ball in the house and he broke his mom's new vase.

When his mom came home she asked him if he broke the vase and Josh lied. His mother called him a big fat liar!

The Fox And The Rabbit
Aranza, 8, Mexico City, Mexico
The moral of my fable isDon't listen to strangers.
My fable is:

Once upon a time there was a fox who was not very good to other people. One day the fox invited the rabbit to dinner.

The fox was making a plan to eat the rabbit and the rabbit said to the fox, "Thank you very much fox. I want to see you at 7:30".

When the rabbit went to the fox's house, he overheard the plan. The fox was very happy because he was going to eat rabbit. The fox said, "I want to eat that rabbit".

When the rabbit heard the fox, the rabbit ran away very, very fast. And he ran to tell all his friends, "Don't listen to strangers! They might trick you!"

The Dog And The Cat
Edward, 10, Manitoba, Canada
The moral of my fable isIf we are good to others they will become our friends.
My fable is:

Once upon a time there was a big dog and a little black cat. The cat's name was Shadow and it got chased all the way to the restaurant by a dog called Rascal.

Rascal could not see Shadow in his hiding place because Shadow was all black.

Then Rascal saw glowing eyes and Rascal started chasing Shadow again until he got a nail stuck in his paw and Shadow got away.

Then Shadow felt sorry for Rascal and went back to help Rascal get the nail out of his paw.

Shadow had no home. Rascal took Shadow to live with him and so, they became friends forever.

Shadow never got chased again.

The Hare And The Tortoise
Adam, 10, United Kingdom
The moral of my fable is:  Slow and steady wins the race.
My fable is:

"I"m faster than you", said the boastful Hare. "Then I challenge you for a race", said the slow Tortoise.

"OK!", said the boastful Hare, turning round with a sly grin on his face.

"Ready, Steady, GO!", said the boastful Hare. And the Hare went zooming past the Tortoise.

"Wait for me", said the slow Tortoise.

"Ha ha that tortoise is never going to catch me", said the boastful Hare.

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ", said the lazy Hare. "Oh he is asleep. I will tip toe past him". said the slow Tortoise. "OH NO! the tortoise is wining", said the lazy Hare.

"I WIN, I WIN", said the winning Tortoise. "Oh no, I've lost", said the lazy Hare.

"I told you I could beat you", said the winning Tortoise.
