The Shark and the Toad

By Emily

One day in the deep, deep Amazon there was a shark who was saying

“Oh!!!! I’m the fastest in the Amazon.” A toad was sleeping. He heard that and

he said, “Let’s see if you are the fastest in the Amazon. I’m going to challenge

you to a race.” Shark said “Oh!!! I don’t want to make you cry.” Toad said, “You

mean that you are scared. Ok let’s see who wins.” So they decided to have a

race.

One fish said, “Ready steady, go!!!!!!!” Toad did not go so fast but the

Shark went so fast that he did not see the Toad. But in one moment he

stopped and he thought “Why don`t I go to visit some one of my family?” He

went to China to visit the Fish family. When he went he did not care about the

race because he knew he was going to win. The Shark was arrogant and

boastful but the Toad was very sensible and intelligent .The Toad was working

hard. The Shark was with the Fish who offered him some tea and cupcakes. He

said “Yes!” Toad was about to win the race when Shark heard everyone

clapping for the Toad. He saw he was about to win the race but the Toad won

just in time and the Shark said, “No!!!!!!!!!!!!! I lost.” And Shark realized you

have to work hard all the time especially in a race. “I’m sorry for telling you I

wanted to make you cry.” “It’s okay; now that you learned the moral it’s okay.”

They lived happily ever after.

Moral: If you work hard and don’t stop, you can do anything

The Friendly Puppy and the Mean Tiger

By Francisca

One day a cute puppy got lost. While he was looking for his

owners, he met a tiger. He was so scared he jumped up a tall tree and

exclaimed, “Please don’t eat me…” “You don’t have to be scared of me, I

can help you find your owners but will you first eat something with me?”

asked Tiger. “Sure” said Puppy a little more calmly.

When they were at Tiger’s big, fancy house, Tiger said, “Wait for

me here while I go cook.” “Yes I will, but just remember I don’t like hot

pepper because after eating it I have blue spots,” Puppy warned him.

“That’s all right with me” murmured Tiger as he went into the kitchen.

He wanted to trick Puppy so he put hot pepper on Puppy’s meat. After

eating it Puppy said goodbye and on his way he found a cave and there

he made his house. Next morning he had blue spots all over his body.

Then he realized he had been tricked. So he invited Tiger to lunch and

asked him if he did not like something and Tiger said it was sugar. So

Puppy put sugar inside Tiger´s meat and gave it to him, so Tiger has blue

spots. And he said sorry to Puppy because he realized you have to treat

others the way you want to be treated and they become lifelong friends.

The Brave Parrot and the Bad Eagle

By Isabella

One summer day a lazy parrot was relaxing in a tree. Just when he was

putting sunscreen on an eagle appeared on the same branch as Parrot. The

creature grabbed him very quickly so fast you almost could not see it. The

enormous Eagle put Parrot in an uncomfortable cage. Parrot begged and

begged to set him free but Eagle would not, but then the colorful animal

exclaimed, “If you set me free I may help you someday.” When the Eagle

heard this he could not stop laughing for six hours. Just then after his long

laugh he said, “Ok, because you made me laugh I’ll set you free.”

The days passed until one day some hunters came to look for food.

Eagle went to find delicious food for her and her babies. The terrified creature

went to hide in her cave from the hunters and started to cry, “Help! There are

hunters! Help!” the Parrot heard her and went as fast as he could to save the

Eagle like he had promised. When he arrived Eagle told him the story

Brave Parrot went to the hunters and ruined all their camp and bit all

the hunters’ legs to scare them away. They tried to shoot at him but they

could not because all of their guns had gone into the lake. So the hunters were

never seen again. The Eagle learnt his lesson: it does not matter if you are

small you can solve big problems.

tree and he fell on a gorilla. The next day Gorilla started to say, “I am bigger

and stronger than you.” Monkey felt sad and disappointed. One day Monkey

said, “If you are bigger and stronger than me I challenge you. The one who

gets the most bananas in one hour wins.

When they were doing the race Monkey reminded Gorilla the one who

gets more bananas in one hour wins. Gorilla was taking bananas from only one

tree but Monkey was taking bananas from five trees. When the hour finished

Gorilla had ten bananas but the Monkey had thirty and a lion said, “Monkey

They went to the start line; there were all the animals watching the race in the jungle that had plants, trees, birds and ferocious animals. Crazy Cheetah was saying “I’m the fastest and the most incredible animal in the world. I’m going to win; you are going to lose, because you are the slowest animal.” “Ok we´ll see if you are going to win, show off Cheetah,” said the Snake.

The race started. Cheetah started very fast and Snake was slow and

steady. Boastful Cheetah saw that confident Snake was still starting she went to chat with her friends and to have tea on the tall hill where she lived. Persistent Snake was slow but he knew that the Cheetah would do something with someone and that he would win the race, and Cheetah would lose. When cruel Cheetah was talking with her friends, sensible Snake passed the sore loser Cheetah, and when the polite Snake was about to win Cheetah saw the persistent Snake and started to run fast and fast until his legs were tired. But confident Snake won the race. All the animals were there to see who lost and who won at the moment, and sore loser Cheetah said something to the Snake. “Oh Snake, I’m so sorry. I was wrong. I’m so sorry.” And the Cheetah learned a lesson, “Work hard and not stop you can do anything.”

went flying like a bird into scary owl’s tree! Bunny was horrified but intelligent

Owl warned her that she did not have to be so scared. “Ok,” exclaimed Bunny

and from that day she was not horrified anymore. Then Bunny went home.

she got to the ears of the sculpture she needed a drink because she was very

tired. When she went home for a glass of water mischievous Owl came and

broke every piece of Bunny’s sculpture because he thought that it was going to

be very special and he was rude to people. When Bunny came back she felt

sad and surprised.

Bunny decided to trick him back and she offered Owl a sculpture of him.

The Hamster and the Hippopotamus

By Malena

One day there was a hardworking hamster that came for a visit to see his

very nice cousins in the scary jungle. In the jungle there were very, very

arrogant creatures who thought that they are more intelligent than Hamster

because they were bigger. At that moment Hamster fell and a Hippo, who was

one of those arrogant animals, tried to help him. But he actually was doing a

part of his cruel, magnificent and tricky plan. It was a complicated trick and he

had waited for someone new in the jungle who did not know what type of

Hippo he was.

Hamster decided to make a house for him to live for a few days. The

bigger animal said that the Hamster could not make a house, because he was

very little, slow, and stupid. That day Hippo kept on saying that Hamster could

not do it and that he could it extremely 100,000 times better and bigger. The

intelligent, little creature kept saying that he could do it because he was very

confident in himself and Hippo also did one because he was doing the house to

compete with Hamster. The Hippo stopped making the house so Hamster

finished first. Instead Hippo went off to bully all of the poor, little animals.

The little creature finished first because Hippo kept saying several times

that he could do it better and he wasting his time. So the Hypo felt defeated

because a little creature beat him. When he saw Hamster finishing the house

he felt doubly defeated. He wished he would have paid more attention to

making the house. And Hamster always knew that. Hippo learned that you

need to work hard and not stop and you can do anything.

the plants and caught Cat in it. Then at 5: oo o´clock Dog came back and saw

Cat in the net and Dog said, “What happened?” And the elegant Cat said,

Dog helped Cat and cute Dog broke the net. And then they became best

friends. One day another hunter caught Dog and Cat saw him. “Will help you

By Valentina

In a meadow far away with lots of flowers and animals there lived a

bunny and a snail. One day they were walking and suddenly they bumped

heads.

“Ouch” cried the bunny.

“Oh I didn’t mean to do it” said the nice snail.

“It doesn’t matter; maybe we can be friends and have a friendly race. I

probably will win because I am the fastest animal in the whole world,”

murmured the show off bunny.

“You never know,” exclaimed clever Snail while she walked home.

“Ok, tomorrow on the tallest hill we will run a race,” shouted Bunny. While the

sun was coming out, all of the animals were already on the hill about to start

the race.

“Ready, steady …GO!!!!!!!!” screamed the pig and they both started running.

After a long while chatty Bunny stopped to chat because he knew that Snail

would never win. One hour had passed and boastful Bunny was still chatting.

Then Snail passed very quietly so bunny did not notice. When two hours had

passed the bunny realized that Snail was winning he hopped as fast as he could

but it was too late, Snail had already crossed the finish line.

“Snail you were right. I was a show off with you and I now know only if you

work hard and don’t stop you can win” admitted Bunny.

“Right but we can still be friends” said Snail.

The Ox and the Foal

By Edward Paul

One day a tall and good looking Ox was showing off. Everyone at the

blue oasis was drinking water except for a small, sweet, brown Foal. The Ox

had been nasty to the Foal and he pushed the Foal into the water. This meant

that the Foal was very upset and cross with the Ox. While the Foal was

growing up the Ox got less friends and that was because the Ox was not nice to

the Foal. The animals also got mad at the ox because he had not been nice to

the others either.

However in 5 or 6 years Foal was a big stallion with far more friends then

the old Ox and Ox felt very sorry for himself.

And they respected Foal because he was not a bully. And the Ox

regretted being mean to Foal. The moral is to treat others the way you want

to be treated.
