One day Bird went for a fly. She grew tired so she stopped on a tree branch. She saw a monkey hanging upside down. She said, “Hello, Monkey”.

The monkey got up and said, “Hello”, back to her.

Then Monkey asked, “Do you want to do a Jungle Jam with me?”.

Bird replied, “No thank you. I probably couldn’t anyways”. Then bird said goodbye and flew away.

The next day Bird flew back to the branch as she knew Monkey would be there. Monkey asked, “Do you want to jump rope with me?”. Bird replied, “No thank you”.

Then Monkey said to Bird, “Just try”.

So Bird tried, and she realized she could! And from then on Bird believed in herself.

Once there was a Caterpillar who was sad because he was going to change. “I don’t want to change”, he always said to himself. “I just want to stay the same.”

One day his friend Owl saw Caterpillar looking sad. So he walked up to Caterpillar and asked, “Caterpillar, why are you so sad?”.

“I heard I was going to change and I don’t want to change”, he said.

“You should be happy that you are changing because you will turn into something beautiful”, said Owl.

So many days passed and eventually Caterpillar got into his cocoon and turned into a butterfly. All the animals walked up to her and said, “You are so beautiful!”. “I guess I am”, said Caterpillar.

One day at the park, Cat met a new friend. His name was Bear. Bear was friendly. Cat saw Bear one day talking to a stranger. Cat took Bear’s hand and said, “Don’t talk to strangers”.

But Bear didn’t listen, so Cat told Bear’s dad that he was talking to strangers.

Bear’s dad said, “I guess we have to teach him a lesson”.

So Bear’s dad dressed up as a stranger. When Bear was at the park, Bear’s dad went to the park too. He pretended to take Bear. Then Bear’s dad took off the outfit and said, “Did you learn a lesson?” “Yes”, said Bear.

One day at Manor school a new friend joined Mrs. Harbaugh’s class. His name was Cat and he was a bad influence.

He told Dog that the teacher said it is OK if you get on top of the monkey bars. So Dog did. But the strangest thing happened when Dog got on top of the monkey bars. She got in trouble. She was very, very mad at Cat.

And so the next time Cat told Dog something she always asked the teacher before she believed Cat!

One day Sheep saw a Wolf outside his farm pen. “Come with me sheep! We will roam out in the free and wild forest together”, said Wolf.

Sheep said, “OK Wolf. I’ll do it”. “Great!”, said the exited Wolf. He had made a plan. He was going to eat sheep once they got to his cave.

When Sheep left his pen, Wolf took his hand and started romping toward the cave. “W-where are we g-going?”, asked Sheep. ”You’re about to find out”, said Wolf.

When they got to his cave, he started taking Sheep’s wool off. “Why are you d-doing this?”, asked sheep. “Because I need a sweater”, said Wolf. “I’m really cold at night.”

Wolf had lied! But Sheep did not think he was lying. Sheep thought he really was cold at night. So Sheep gave Wolf all his wool till none was left. Next Wolf found a book of matches, lit one, and started to eat sheep.

Once upon a time in the big, tall forest, there was a very strong and wise Wolf. He was a good leader. Every day he found food for his entire pack and all of the wolves loved and respected him.

One day Wolf saw Fox and Coyote stealing his food. When they saw Wolf, they ran away as fast as they could. When Wolf caught up to them he said, “Why did you steal my food?”

They lied to Wolf and said, “We didn’t take any food”. Then Wolf said, “Let me check your mouths”. “No way!”, yelled Fox and Coyote.

Just then Coyote heard his mom yelling, “Coyote, come here! You’re in big trouble!”. Fox also heard his mother yelling, “Come here right now Fox.” “Ooooookay”, said Fox.

“Did you eat some of Wolf’s meat?” “No, I did not”, said Fox. “Open your mouth right now”, demanded his mother. Fox answered with a nervous voice, “Okay”. “I can smell the meat in your mouth; you are in BIG trouble,” she shouted.

Fox wished he would have never stolen the meat to begin with. At the very same time that Fox was being punished, Coyote was being punished by his mother too. Wolf left to go hunt for some more meat.

He wasn’t happy about it, but he was sure Fox and Coyote would never steal again.

Little Fish was swimming in a pond in the forest when Bird took a rest at the pond. Bird saw Fish all alone and felt sad for Fish.

So Bird asked Fish, “Do you want to be friends?”. “Yes!”, said Fish and they became friends.

Eight years later, Fish was talking to Bird and Bird thought Fish said a bad word. So Bird said to Fish, “I am not your friend”. “Why?”, asked Fish. “Because you said a bad word.” “No I didn’t.” “Oh”, said Bird. “Can we be friends again?” He answered, “Yes”.
