One day Bird swooped down to find a caterpillar in a tree. "Hello, Mr. Caterpillar!"

Caterpillar grumbled for Bird was always a real pain. "You look very pretty today! Your colors are shining more! Have you been eating those color pills I gave you? You look so beautiful!!!!", Bird squawked.

Caterpillar was very flattered by this because Bird almost NEVER complimented him! "Why, how about you take a good little nap while I get you some more color pills?", asked Bird.

Caterpillar thought that was a good idea. As he drifted off to sleep, Bird flew to the branch where Caterpillar was sleeping. He grabbed him in his claws and ate him up.

One time there were two racers named Jack and Joe.

Jack was better than Joe and challenged him to a race.

Whomever lost was to eat a big pumpkin.

Joe won the race and Jack had to eat the "plumpkin". When he was halfway done he groaned.

Once upon a time three boys named Jerril, the oldest, Ean, the second oldest, and Allen, the youngest.

Allen was fighting with Ean over a cookie. The cookie flew into the air and Jerril caught it and ate it.

Ean and Allen learned the lesson that it is better to always share.

At Jackson Middle School there was a kid who was best at everything. His name was Bob. Bob was especially good at basketball.

Then there was Ted, who couldn't hit a shot for his life.

One day Bob challenged Ted to a one-on-one game for ten points.

Bob was up 7 to 0, but Ted kept fighting. When Bob had the ball, he could win with one more shot. He got too confident and then Bob scored to make the game tied at 7-7.

When Bob got too confident again, he missed. Ted didn't get overly confident -- and he scored and won!

One morning in a swamp there was a frog who saw a fly buzzing by.

"Hey fly", he said coughing, "I think I have another frog stuck in my throat. Could you go get a match and kill yourself?"

"Sure", the fly said. So he got a lighter and killed himself.

"Ahhhh, now I can eat you." So he did. So now the other flies did not do anything like that again. They all felt sorry for the fly that got eaten.

There was once a peacock who thought she was the prettiest of all creatures. This was true, but not important. She also thought she was most important. The peacock's name was Rainbow, which she thought was the best name for her.

One day, the jay bird Jaxxon said that there would be a race to see who has the most strength and speed.

At the start, Rainbow was not warming up like the other animals. A monkey named Bananas was so eager to win.

When the race began, Rainbow was slow, and checked every fiive seconds to proudly puff out her tail.

When the race was over Bananas was the winner.

Jaxxon gave him a crown, and was declared the most important creature in the jungle. Rainbow was furious, but she had to live with the fact that she was not as important as she thought.

Once long ago, there lived a phoenix. He was the greatest and most beautiful in all of Sapphire Island. Though he was beautiful, he bragged too much about it. His people where miserable, but they dare not tell him for he would destroy them on the spot!

One day, a griffin came in search of shelter for the long winter when he came upon the phoenix admiring himself in front of his mirror. "Hello! Who are you?" he said to the phoenix. "I am the greatest most precious bird in the world!" was the reply.

When the phoenix heard that the griffin had never heard of him, he got so mad, that he made the griffin his servant. He only paid food, while the griffin secretly sold the food to the poor. When the phoenix found out, he ordered the griffin to be killed. "You are not worthy. You shall be killed", was the griffin's reply. And the phoenix was gone!
