Once upon a time there were two friends that lived in New York City and every day they both walked to the park near their houses.

One day the Cow was saying many mean words about how small the rabbit was.

”Lets race to figure out who is the bigger one is”, said the Rabbit.

So they raced a mile. Halfway to the finish line the cow tripped on his laces. He was so confused because he didn’t know how to tie his shoes.

The rabbit took advantage of the situation and won the race.

After the race, the extremely nice rabbit taught the cow how to tie his shoes and the cow never tripped again.

One day, goldfish named Jenna and Marci, were swimming home from school. It had been an exciting day for them.

Tomorrow was a routine contest at school.

They were talking about what they were going to do on the way home. "The minute I get home, I'm going to start practicing", said Marci.

"I don't need to practice like you", said Jenna. "Whatever," said Marci.

The next day was the contest. Marci and everyone else went. In the end Marci, because she had practiced, won first place!

Jenna did not bother to practice and ended up in last place.

Once there was a squirrel prince that lived in a poisonous forest. The squirrel’s name was Prince Squirrel. Prince Squirrel was so greedy that he would steal money from his rich father.

His dad found out when one of his guards told him. Prince Squirrel was kicked out of the castle for what he had done. Prince Squirrel yelled loudly but was never let back in.

He walked into the forest. Prince Squirrel thought about what he was going to eat. He thought about a delicious nut. Prince Squirrel saw a hole and instead of finding nuts he found the most terrifying creature he had ever laid his eyes upon.

It was a tarantula named Big Daddy. Prince Squirrel ran from the fearsome beast, but was caught in his web.

Then the tarantula grabbed him and gobbled him up. So Prince Squirrel was never seen again .He learned never to be greedy but it was too late.

Once upon a time there were two beautiful horses named Monica and Charlotte. They were sisters. They lived in a very wide meadow with very lush, green, and yummy (to the horses) grass.

Monica and Charlotte quarreled constantly. Their mom was SO sick of it! So she told them about a place on the meadow where they could see their future.

So they went there and saw that in their future, Monica and Charlotte wouldn't have any contact with each other. They would never see each other again.

They wanted to change their future because even though they quarreled constantly, they loved each other very much.

They changed their future by trying to compromise about everything.

In a dark forest, there once lived a rockin’ wolf. Her name was Winny the Wolf. There was also a cute, little, pink chinchilla. Her name was Chila the Chinchilla.

One day the two ran into each other. Winny mumbled, ”I hate Chila. She has the easiest life in the whole forest!”

Chila heard the nasty comment. ”Why don’t we switch lives?”, asked Chila.

Winny agreed that they would switch for one day.

When Winny got to Chila’s neat, little house she saw a rat run across the floor and screamed. She could not stand one more second in this house! She ran to her house.

Meanwhile, Chila was staring at the huge hole in Winny’s roof. It started to rain and she ran away.

As the two were running they bumped into each other. “Sorry”, said Winny, ”I was wrong. Your life is just as hard as mine”.

They became best friends and lived happily ever after.

Once upon a time there was a hamster name Pokey and a turtle name Ruffalufages. They lived in a sunny forest with many trees.

One day came along a powerful storm. It caused a big flood. In the flood Pokey's house fell over.

Pokey went to Ruffalufages's house to see if he could spend the night, but Ruffalufages said no.

My house is full Ruffalufages said to himself.

When Pokey got back to her fallen over house the storm had ended. After Pokey rebuilt her house she took a nap.

Two weeks after the storm Ruffalufages house had fire. Then Ruffalufages when to Pokey's went house to ask if he could spend the night and pokey said no.

Ruffalufages became a hobo.

One day a lonely parrot sat by a long lake. He saw many animals walking together. He wished he had a friend to be with.

Suddenly he saw another parrot who was lonely. "Let's be friends", said the parrot.

"No", said the other one, "I already have a friend!"
