| My
fable is: Once upon a time
there was a little boy named Sam. Sam had a grandfather. Every Saturday
Sam would sleep at his grandfather's house.
One Saturday Sam wanted
to hear a bed time story. But the only book
Sam's grandfather had for children was an old fables book. Sam hated
fables so he said, “No grandfather! I hate
fables! They are boring!”.
"But
if you want a bedtime story, I will have to read you a fable story”,
said the grandfather. “Fine.
Please read a fable story”,
said Sam. “I will read you my favorite
fable. It's about monkeys”,
said the grandfather.
So the grandfather cleared his throat
and started reading the fable: "Once upon a
time in the jungle lived a little monkey named Keeco. His family was
very poor. So Keeco needed to go to the king's palace to ask for a job.
The king of monkeys was a very mean person, but
luckily because Keeco
was pleasant, the king hired him and
Keeco became a servant to the king.
Two years later the king wanted Keeco
to bring him tea in his precious tea cups. Poor little Keeco was very
nervous and he accidentally dropped the tea cup. The king was very mad
and he said, “Tomorrow, by the rise of the
sun, your head will be ripped!”.
When Keeco's mother, Ariana, heard the
king speaking this way to her son she ran fast and told him that since
he was chosen to be the king he was only lying to everybody. “If you are
going to be a leader be a good one!”, she
said.
From that day on
the king of monkeys was a king that everybody loved and
was proud of. The
monkey kingdom was the happiest place in the jungle.
“Well, did you like the fable?”,
grandfather asked Sam.
"Well, I loved it! I should have listened to
you”, said Sam. And from that day on Sam heard
and enjoyed fables every Saturday. |
