There was a rich cat called Tom. He like to go to Trader Joe to buy things like chocolate milk, chocolate mints, strawberry lollipops, cake and bread.

One day, he met a poor duck called Dent. "Will you give me some bread?" said the duck.

"No!", said Tom and walked away.

At home, he ate alone, watched TV alone and slept alone. He felt so boring and said to himself, "Will this ever change?".

Meanwhile, the duck who was poor was happy. He played chess with a cat named Boodycat.

Once upon a time there was a mouse that had a slice of cheese. Then one day a cat came along while the mouse was out of town for the day.

The cat knew he shouldn't steal his cheese but he loved cheese so much.

Then that cat grabbed his cheese and ran off.

When the mouse got home he was so sad that someone took his cheese. Then later on he found out it was the cat and he never spoke to that cat again.

On a very sunny day a boy was mean to others.

The next day the mean boy was bored and asked the kids to play.

All they said was, "Follow the golden rule".

Once upon a time during a hot summer day down by the pond, lived two friends named, Vanesa, a smart dog and Austin, a lazy snake. They both loved to foot race.

Dog and snake went for a long walk in the park by the pond on day. Suddenly Gracin, the duck came waddling up the path singing, “I won the swimming contest!”

Austin the snake, hissed, “Wwweeellll, gooooood for yoooou.” “I bet I can beat you at a swimming contest, after all I am a duck,” she quacked at Vanesa and Austin.

Vanesa, getting tried of her quacking, barked, “Well, let’s have a swimming race.” So Gracing the duck, and Vanesa the dog, got into position for the race.

“POW” the gun sounded and off they swam. Vanesa was dog peddling and hard as she could. While Gracin swam gracefully with little effort, goofing off as she swam alone paying no attention to Vanesa as she swam past her to the finish line.

“I Won! I Won!” Barked Vanesa as she shook the extra water off her back and rolled around the ground.

Vansea was so excited about winning the race, she didn’t sleep at all that night.

The next day, Vanesa the dog, went looking for Gracin the duck. When the dog found the duck Vanesa told Gracin she should never be a bragger.

Once upon a time in the middle of fall lived two friends, Fox and Wolf. They were great friends. They never fought or played rough at home or in school with Mrs. Bear.

But one day Fox lost his pencil. It was not just any pencil. It was his very favorite pencil. He looked everywhere for it, but sadly he never found it. He asked every one in school if they had seen it but they all said no.

Soon class was over and Fox still hadn’t found his pencil. As Fox was leaving the building he saw Wolf running into the woods with his pencil in his hand.

Fox ran after Wolf but never caught him. Fox looked for him all night long and thought he had found him in a tree house. Fox entered the tree house only to find a bed, dresser, and a pencil holder. Fox searched for his pencil but it was not there.

Fox saw someone coming and quietly hid behind the bed. Wolf walked in and Fox saw he did have his special pencil. Fox jumped out from behind the bed and yelled, “Hey, give me back my pencil”.

Startled, Wolf ran out of the tree house with Fox running with the speed of a cheetah. Finally Fox caught Wolf deep in the woods only to realize they had traveled so far they were lost.

Fox grabbed at Wolf’s hand yelling, “Give me my pencil”. “Fine”, Wolf growled out as Fox snatched his pencil and began to run with Wolf fast on his heels.

They ran and ran until the sun came up. That’s when they realized they were at school.

Fox ran inside and was safely in his seat when Mrs. Bear came in.

Wolf came running in panting, “Where have you been, you’re late for class”, Mrs. Bear asked sternly.

“No where,” Wolf snarled at Fox. “I found my favorite pencil!” Fox exclaimed excitedly.

From that day on Wolf never stole Fox’s pencil -- or any pencil -- ever again.

Once upon a time, along time ago in a school house on a summer night, there was a snake named Max, a squirrel named Mrs. Jones, a raccoon named Ethan, and a rabbit named Fernanda.

Max, Fernanda and Ethan were on there way to school when Max took Ethan’s pencil out of his backpack.

“Hey, give that back,” said Ethan. “NO,” said Max. So Ethan ran after Max and Max bit Ethan.

“Help, Max bit me!” cried Ethan. “I’ll go get Mrs. Jones,” said Fernanda running off.

When Fernanda led Mrs. Jones to where they were, they found Ethan on the ground crying, “Help me mommy. Help me!”

Mrs. Jones stated in a firm voice, “Give him back his pencil and don’t you dare bite anyone else!”

So reluctantly Max gave Ethan back his pencil and said, “I’m sorry for biting you, Ethan.”

Once upon a time on a hot summer day in the country, there was a beaver named Benji and an otter named Oscar.

Benji is a little boy who never listens to his parents. Oscar on the other hand, is a boy who always listens to his parents.

One day at the pond Benji was trying to cut down a tree. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Duckwest who are both school teachers told him not to.

When the tree fell on top of his tail he started to cry very loud. Benji called to parents, “A tree fell on my tail! Ouch! It hurts, get it off!” He cried in a whinny voice, while Oscar was trying to pull the tree off his tail.

Mr. and Mrs. Duckwest frantically arrived. “Hold on Benji while the three of us pull the log off you tail.”

But Benji could not hold on. He wanted the tree off his tail right then.

After tugging for a minute they finally got the tree off his tail. They rushed Benji to the hospital as fast as they could and it turns out Benji had broken his tail.

Benji said, “I will never cut down a tree again.”

One fall day in Mulley forest lived two busy chipmunks named Julianna and Payton, and a raccoon named Jonathan. Julianna and Payton were storing food for the winter, while Jonathan was playing carelessly.

Jonathan asked them, “Why don’t you come play with me?” They answered, “We’re too busy gathering supplies for the winter to play.” Julianna and Payton kept gathering so they wouldn’t starve.

That winter while Julianna and Payton were feasting on what they had stored, Jonathan was at his house starving because he didn’t store food for the winter.

Julianna and Payton heard Jonathan was starving, so they brought him food.

Jonathan thanked them and said, “Next fall I’ll gather very early.”

One hot summer day in Moohah, an animal village, lived two greedy best friends, Wolly the wolf and Stanley the snake.

Wolly and Stanley were playing at the watering hole splashing each other. Splish! Splash! Two sweet best friends, Tom the turkey and Dug the deer, heard all the commotion and went to ask if they could play. “May we play?” they asked very politely.

“NO!” “This is our watering hole, and we don’t need you smelly nasty things in it! So leave!”, Stanley and Wolly shouted sternly.

Dug and Tom ran off and Wolly and Stanley got back to playing in the watering hole. Splish! Splash!

The next day Tom and Dug went to the watering hole and were playing in the water. Wolly and Stanley showed up and began to yell at them, “You better get out of our watering hole before we hurt you.” “This is our watering whole to you know,” Tom and Dug whispered frightened.

No one moved. Wolly and Stanley jumped in the water. Tom and Dug politely asked, “Do you want to play with us?” Wolly and Stanley looked at each other and replied in unison, “Yes.”

After that the greedy best friends, Wolly and Stanley became best friends with the sweet best friends, Tom and Dug.

One hot sunny day on the playground at school, two girls and two boys were playing a game of dodge ball. Their names were Chelsey, Chad, Carrisa, and Chris.

In the middle of the dodge ball game the girls thought the boys were throwing the ball too hard. “Hey, stop throwing the ball so hard,” Chelsey cried.

The boys did not listen to them and continued to throw the ball too hard.

So the girls quit. “We Quit!” Carissa yelled and the girls went inside.

The boys went after the girls and a fight started. The principal came out of her office firmly stating, “Hey, what’s going on here?”

The boys and girls admitted they were fighting so the principal sent a letter home that stated, "Do unto others and you would have them do unto you".

Once upon a time there lived Sunny, the elephant, Tristen, the mouse and Brandon, the wolf. They were all ten years old but not very friendly to each other.

One summer day in the park all three met up. Sunny, the elephant, said, “I’m bigger and better at everything and ya’ll can’t do anything as well as I can.”

Tristen replied in her small mousy voice, “We don’t care.”

“Yea!” Brandon wolfed back as he and Tristen ran to the slide and began to slide.

After a few minutes, Sunny came clopping over to play on the slide with Tristen and Brandon.

When she tried to slide she realized she was too big to fit on the slide. She began to cry and ran home.
