moral of my fable is: Treat people as you want
to be treated. |

Katie, 9,

moral of my fable is: Never trust a
enemy even if they're being nice to you. |

getting some cheese. Cat was following mouse
around.

"I can't reach the cheese!"

The News Reporter And The
Newt |
|
Peter, 10,
England |
| The
moral of my fable is: Never give up on
something that's important. |
| My
fable is: Once there was a
newspaper reporter. He would have made a great reporter if it wasn’t for
the fact that he gave up incredibly easily.
If he was asked to complete the last
level of a great video game, in five minutes he would give up, feeling
exhausted.
Anyway, once, the reporter was asked
by his boss to go to Africa to seek the last surviving, colourful,
blue-spotted newt.
Right away the reporter traveled to
somewhere near the Equator. He set up a great camp in an empty, wild bit
of the wonderful jungle. “I am going to search every nook and cranny
with you people”, he muttered to his men. “Yes
sir”, they replied. “And we start tomorrow,” he exclaimed.
For the next two days the reporter
searched in the most ridiculous places. For example, under his tent, in
a bird’s nest and every other of the most idiotic places you can think
of. “That’s it, this is too hard, I give up”, he told his men, on the
second day.
He soon flew back to England and was
fired for not finding the newt.
“You shouldn’t have given up”,
his boss explained to him. “It takes many weeks to find a creature so
rare.”
Meanwhile, back where he had been
camping, the newt was snooping around.
This only goes to prove that you
should never give up on something important so easily.
No matter how hard it is, just like his boss had told him. |

The Tiger and The Fish |
|
Marima, 10,
England |
| The
moral of my fable is: Treat everyone the
same even if they are older than you. |
| My
fable is: In the jungle
there lived a stripy tiger. One day tiger was galloping to the
meandering river because he was hungry.
When he got there he waited and put
his paw above the river, ready to catch a fish.
A fish leapt up and the tiger lashed
his paw down to grab the fish, while it was falling back into the river.
Unfortunately, he missed. The fish
then giggled, “I thought you might catch me there, but you might just be
too old to catch a fish!”
The tiger tried getting the fish but
he missed again. Then he thought maybe fish was right, maybe I am too
old to catch a fish.
He decided to try one last time; he
swept his paw down into the river and caught the fish.
Tiger felt happy and the fish
apologized. “I was wrong, please let me go and I will never bother your
again,” pleaded the fish.
The tiger answered, “Okay, I might be
old, but I am still strong,” replied the tiger, before letting the fish
go. |

The Race |
|
Blake, 10,
England |
| The
moral of my fable is: Good things come
in small packages. |
|
My fable is:
Once upon a time there lived two handsome
looking boys called Melvin and Steve. They were great friends and they
were inseparable. They always played together and always helped each
other out.
Melvin had chocolate coloured hair,
blue eye and a stunning smile. Steve was basically the same except at
school he was a bit more laid back, even though his grades were falling
badly.
Then one foggy day a new boy arrived.
His name was Ben; he had long legs, huge arms and a skinny waist. He
would boast about how good he was at football and rugby. “I’m great at
football, awesome at rugby and I’m the best at running!” he would boast.
Melvin got really annoyed with his
boasting, so he
challenged him to a race. “You’re puny little legs can’t beat me!”
shouted Ben.
“I bet I can beat you tomorrow,”
screamed Melvin. “Oh I am shaking in my boots, well where?” asked Ben.
“On the school field,” replied Melvin.
However, what Ben didn’t know is that
Melvin had a trick up his sleeve.
The next day it looked like the whole
school had turned out to see the race.
Ben and Melvin walked to the starting
line when Ben asked, “What’s this?” “It’s a race, you asked for one so
here it is,” replied Melvin.
“But, but, but,” stuttered Ben. Melvin
had set up an obstacle course and tricked Ben.
Melvin won the race, and then
whispered in Ben’s ear, “Good things come in small packages.” |

The Heron and The Fox |
|
Megan, 10,
England |
| The
moral of my fable is: Don't be mean to
others, or they will be mean to you in the same way. |
| My
fable is: There was once a
heron who came to the dark, gloomy forest. When she arrived the fox
asked the heron to his house the very next day.
The next day the heron went to the
fox’s house and they greeted each other with kind words. “Hello, lovely
day isn’t it”, exclaimed the heron. “Yes,
it is lovely. Come and sit down for some tea. It's
ready”, replied the fox.
So the fox and the heron went to the
table, but the food was placed on flat plates, so the heron couldn’t eat
the food. As time went on the heron got sick and tired of seeing the fox
eating all the food, so she left the table and exited from the front
door.
The fox happily leapt on the heron’s
food saying, “Double helpings for me then”.
The next time the fox and the heron
met was on the road. Often the heron wouldn’t speak to the fox, but
today the heron spoke to the fox saying . . . “Mr Fox, would you like to
come round to my house for tea? It will be
delicious soup”.
“Yes, of course I will”,
replied the fox greedily.
They met at
the heron’s house and sat at the table, but the food was in tall jugs,
so the fox could not eat it.
The fox had to watch the heron eat all
the food. The heron then stated, “I am only following your example! So
don’t be mean to others or they will be mean to you in the same way.” |

Lazlo and Rob |
|
Scott, 8,
Singapore |
| The
moral of my fable is: What goes around
comes around. |
| My
fable is: There was a monkey
called Lazlo. He was in a campsite called Camp Kidney.
One day, a new camper came. His name
was Rob. He was a squirrel.
When he saw Lazlo, he put
out a box which had a word written on it. It
said Candy.
Then Rod said: "Walk
with this from this oak tree to that fir tree. Don't drop it".
Lazlo walked from the oak tree to the fir tree without dropping the box.
"Hurray! I did it!" said Lazlo. Then,
Rob came with his mask on. "Boo!" shouted Rob.
Lazlo was so scared that he dropped
the box. It opened. There was sneezing powder inside. And since there
was a lot of powder, he sneezed very hard and his condition got very
worse.
He had to buy 12 bottles of medicine
and each bottle cost $170! And because of that, he did not have enough
money for his bills.
After some days, he thought what Rob
did. At last, he thought of a idea to get revenge. He told Rob that he
had a party at his house. When Rob entered, he was surprised that he was
the only guest. Later, Lazlo said he will go out. But actually, he was
making a trap. Then, after the party, Lazlo let Rob out.
And soon, Rob was trapped in
a net which Lazlo made.
When he
showed his friends, they laughed because it was funny. Later, Rob said:
"Why did you do this?!" Lazlo just said:
"What comes around go around". |
