The Lion
Anthony, 10, Illinois
The moral of my fable is:  Treat people as you want to be treated.
My fable is:

Once upon a time there lived a strong lion who treated every body like slaves.

So one day a very weak lion named Kate challenged the lion to a race to see who would take place as king.

They ran to the finish line. Kate won. Kate became the new queen of the jungle.

The Mouse and the Cat
Katie, 9, Massachusetts
The moral of my fable isNever trust a enemy even if they're being nice to you.
My fable is:

One day Mouse was getting some cheese. Cat was following mouse around.

Mouse got to the cabinet and said, "I can't reach the cheese!"

"I will help you", said Cat. Cat lifted Mouse up and ate him right up.

"Yummy!", said Cat. "I didn't know that mice were so good!", Cat said while walking away.

The News Reporter And The Newt
Peter, 10, England
The moral of my fable isNever 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 isTreat 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 isGood 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 isWhat 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".
