One fine Summer day there was a dog named Cinder watching birds in the sky.

Cinder said, "I wish I could fly".

Then all of a sudden he saw a very unusual creature. It had wings and was half Lion and half Eagle. "Hey, come down whatever you are!" said Cinder.

When it flew down to him, "What do you call yourself?", Cinder asked.

We are called Griffins. said the Griffin. And then he flew into the sky.

Then Cinder had a idea.

He cut out cardboard wings and taped them on. He climbed on his owner's house and jumped! "AHHHH!!!", said Cinder...

To be continued.

One day, a polar bear went to the ice covered lake to get a drink and she realized she was also very hungry.

There was a hole in the ice where she drank from. She decided she'd go fishing. She noticed a large chubby salmon! The salmon was so chubby that she thought to herself, "Perfect for my hungry tummy!"

She walked very quietly and then sprung to catch this big salmon! She caught him!!

The salmon cried, ''Please don't eat me! I will save you if you need help! I promise!!"

The polar bear thought this over. ''I guess I'll let you go", she said. She then walked away muttering under her breath.

A few days later the polar bear decided to go fishing again. She didn't notice the hunter pointing his gun at her. To get a closer target, the hunter stepped onto the ice. The salmon saw the hunter and smashed the ice making the hunter fall into the cold water.

The polar bear ran away.

One day monkey awoke from his sleep and decided he wanted to talk about how good he was.

So he went to talk to Bear. "Hey Bear, I bet I could climb to the top of that tree before you could even get to the middle of it", he boasted!

The competition was on. Soon the whole jungle was there! Up, Up, Up went Bear. Up, Up, Up went Monkey.

Soon Bear was right at Monkeys feet. Monkey pushed Bear right off the branch and down went Bear and up went Monkey.

Suddenly snap! A weak branch snapped and down went Monkey with a loud thump!

Everyone walked slowly away laughing under there breath.

Only Bear went over there to help Monkey bandage up his wounds.

From that day on Monkeys and Bears are best friends!

In 2001, in the ocean lived a crab. He was 6. He was mean at school, at home... even everywhere!!!

One day at the store the crab wanted everything in the store!!! He was also mean to a lady at the cash register!!!

He got grounded for a year. He missed out on playing outside, going to the library, and even hanging out with his friends.

He was very sad for a whole year and said he would never be mean again. In this story the crab learned to be nice.

One day there were two mice who had a bowl of cheese. But when they came along to one little mouse, they didn't share.

So one day the little mouse had a plan. "If they don't give me the cheese, I will take it from them", said the little mouse.

Then one day the two mice got another bowl of cheese.

When he saw them with their cheese, the mouse jumped out and grabbed the cheese and said, "mahh ha ha ha, I got your cheese now. What are you going to do about it?" said the little mouse.

"Please give us back the cheese. That's all we have to eat today. We have to feed children. "I don't care. You didn't give me any when you had some yesterday", said the little mouse.

One day there was a spider called Nancy. She had to go to the lake, but on the way there, she smelt one of the her favorite hot pots.

Nancy had to go to the lake but she wanted the hot pot. Because she was so clever, she made a web and fooled Mr. Hipo. He had made the the hot pot.

Nancy kept going. But she kept smelling her favorite foods. By the time she got to the lake she had 8 webs on her legs and one by one she felt them pull until she had eight long, thin legs.

One sunny day nearby the old oak tree, the animals gathered to hear Bob the Hare boast about how much better he was at running than the other animals .

The animals yawned as Bob carried on about how fantastic he was. "I have been challenged two-hundred-and-ninety-nine times and yet no other animal has even been close to winning over me", Bob the Hare bragged.

As Bob was telling the other animals his stories, Tommy the young tortoise, plodded towards the Hare. Tommy was fed up with Bob the Hare constantly boasting. He decided to challenge him to a race. "Which unlucky animal today would like to race against me in my special three hundredth race?" snorted the Hare....

"I challenge you to your special race", replied the tiny Tortoise. "Who said that?" shouted the Hare. "Down here, it's Tommy the tiny Tortoise", he exclaimed.

"That's the funniest thing I have ever heard", laughed Bob the Hare with a smirk on his sly face. "I accept!" "Good luck," the tortoise said politely.

"Ah ah, me luck, I don't need luck. Just meet me on Foxes Hill at midday. tomorrow".

The next day came and the clock struck twelve. All the animals gathered as the Hare and the Tortoise got into position. The fox blew the whistle and the race began.

The Hare shot off like lightening as the Tortoise plodded over the hill. The Hare turned around and saw the tortoise was no where to be seen. The Hare was hot and sat under a tree in the cool shade. He was very tired and decided he had time for sleep.

The Tortoise eventually caught up with the Hare and tiptoed past. Slow and steady wins the race he told himself.

The Hare woke up and saw the Tortoise was only seconds away from winning his special race. The Hare was worried and ran for his life. No matter how fast he ran, the Tortoise was over the winning line first.

"Hooray, Hooray", the animals cheered. The Hare asked the Tortoise how he had won his special race. The tortoise explained that you do not have to be fast or big and tall. Slow and steady can win the race.

Long ago, there was a snake called Vine. Why? He loved to hang around on his favorite vine all day long! He would wait on that vine for food to come. He especially loved monkeys.

There was also a little monkey in that vast, green jungle. He loved to swing on vines all day long. His mom always told him to watch for snakes. But the little monkey didn’t care. He kept swinging, not having the slightest worry.

One day, while Vine was waiting for something to come along, the little monkey was swinging through the forest. When he got to the vine Vine the Snake was sitting on, he stopped.

Something about that vine didn’t make him feel good. “What could possibly be wrong with that vine that would make me so scared inside?”, the little monkey wondered. Then he tried to talk himself out of it. “What is wrong with a vine? It’s not a snake”, the little monkey said out loud. “What’s the worst that could happen?”

The little monkey took one more look and swung onto the vine. Then the little monkey saw Vine. The little monkey screamed as Vine lunged for him. The little monkey got out just in time!

Then the little monkey stayed far away from Vine and his vine for the rest of his life.
