Five hungry sharks were swimming by a ship
Looking for one crewman to slip
They found a quiet one named Skip
Then one shark went for a dip
Four anxious sharks were swimming in the sea
Looking for where they wanted to be
They found a quiet place to pee
Then one shark got away and was free
Three happy sharks were swimming one day
Looking for some place fun to play
They found a quiet spot in the bay
Then one shark met a sting ray
Two mean sharks were swimming one night
Looking for any little fish to incite
They found a quiet place for a bite
Then one shark went too far out of sight
One lonely shark was swimming all alone
Looking for any new place to roam
He found a quiet cave to call his own
Then he invited all the sharks to his home

The Shark Story
Ty was a big shark. He was bigger then most of the fish in the ocean. He
was dark grey on his back and white on his under side. He had really sharp
teeth and he looked very scary. Ty was actually a really nice shark. He
wasn't like the other sharks. It didn't really matter though. When ever a
fish saw Ty they always swam away. No one would ever give him a chance.
That was fine with Ty, he didn't mind being alone. It gave him time to
think.
One day while he was out swimming he had gotten a fisherman's hook caught
in his mouth. It hurt real bad and there was nothing that he could do about
it. He thought that if he could talk to a small fish, and not scare it
away, then the fish might be able to get the hook out for him. The only
problem with this plan was, whenever he saw a fish it would always swim
away from him. Usually as fast as it could. Then if he did talk to one how
was he going to convince a fish to swim into his mouth.
He headed out into the open waters hoping that he might find a nice
understanding fish to help him. As usual, as soon as the first fish saw him
it yelled, "SHARK" and all the other fish scattered.
His mouth was hurting really bad. Ty swam around for a long time hoping
that some fish would come back.
Then he saw a little sea horse swimming all by itself. Ty swam up behind
the sea horse. He started to ask the little sea horse for help but then he
heard the sea horse was crying. Ty shut his mouth and thought about what to
say. This poor little guy was sad and Ty was scared that if he spoke to the
sea horse that he would just scare the little guy.
Then he decided that he would at least try to be a good friend and find out
what was wrong. As soon as he opened his mouth to speak again something hit
him from the side. It was an octopus. She wrapped her legs around Ty's
mouth and yelled, "SWIM!! Swim away little fella".
Ty then realized what was going on. The octopus thought that he was going
to eat the little sea horse. The octopus was trying to save the little guy.
What a sweet thing to do Ty thought to himself. Ty tried to tell them what
was going on but his mouth was held shut by the octopus. The sea horse
turned and with one look at Ty it swam away as fast as it could. Ty tried
and tried to open his mouth so he could explain the situation. He could
feel the octopus was losing her grip. Then she let go with all of her arms
and kicked him right were the hook was. It hurt so bad that Ty wanted to
cry.
Then he realized that when the octopus had kicked him that the hook had
become dislodged. He felt it loose in his mouth. He spit out the hook and
saw the octopus swimming away. He tried to catch her and thank her, but she
was too fast. He also wanted to tell the little sea horse what was actually
going on. They were both gone though. At least the hook was no longer stuck
in his mouth. Ty just swam away alone. Like he always did.

The Little Lost Roach
There once was a family of roaches
All nine hundred children where closest
They scurry at night, and stay out of sight
Anytime someone approaches
One night when they needed to eat
They tried to be so discreet
The pickings were lean, the kitchen was clean
They couldn't find anything sweet
Then all of a sudden there was light
They hurried and ran out of sight
The light switch clicked on, they were all gone
Except for their brother Dwight
No one knew where Dwight was at
They feared he was seen by the cat
They all stopped and prayed, that Dwight was okay
Then all they heard was a "SPLAT!!"

The Sea Horse Story
There once lived a sea horse named Mar. He was orange with little yellow and brown spots. He was also very little for such a big ocean.
Mar was very excited about today. It was the first day that he was going to get to play with the big sea horses out in the open waters of the ocean. His mom and dad always told him that he was too little to play with the big sea horses. They were worried that he might get hurt. After trying to convince them for weeks they finally said he could go. He was running late and was afraid that the others might have already started playing without him.
He swam out into the open waters but he didn't see the other sea horses. In fact, he didn't see any fish at all. Then he thought that maybe the other sea horses didn't want to play with him. Maybe they told him to come out here but they were going to play somewhere else. Thinking about that made Mar sad and he started to cry. "Why would they not want to play with me?" he thought. He was all alone out in the open waters so he didn't have to worry about anyone seeing him cry.
Mar was so consumed with his thoughts that he didn't notice a big shark was behind him. The shark started to open his mouth.
Then out of nowhere an octopus swam up and wrapped herself around the shark's mouth. She yelled at Mar, "SWIM!! Swim away little fella".
Mar was startled by the yelling. He turned around just long enough to see the octopus fighting with the shark. That was all he needed to see. Mar swam as fast as his little fins would take him. There was some coral close by. He swam towards the safety of it's cover. When he got closer to it he could hear yelling. He looked around and saw the other sea horses. One of them yelled, "In here Mar". He swam into an opening and found all of his friends. They weren't hiding from him, they were hiding from the big shark. Mar felt bad for thinking his friends didn't want to play with him.
They all stayed quiet until the shark was gone. Then all the sea horses started asking things like, "Are you alright?" and "What was it like being that close to a shark?" and "Who was that octopus that saved you?". It was nice to know that his friends did care. Mar only wished that he could thank the octopus that saved him.

The Octopus Story
Deep in the ocean lived an octopus named Opha. She was light blue with a soft pink belly. She had eight arms and was a very fast swimmer.
Opha was swimming along one day and she noticed that the water had gotten very quiet. There where usually fish swimming and talking everywhere. Opha didn't hear anything. She started looking around and noticed that there were no fish in sight. That was strange for such a big ocean.
Then she heard a soft crying. She looked around and noticed a single sea horse. She started swimming over towards him. She was going to ask him why he was crying.
Then she noticed a big dark figure behind him. She knew instantly that it was a shark. Then she realized why the ocean had become so quiet. All the fish were hiding from the shark. They were all scared of the shark. Opha saw the shark heading towards the little sea horse. He was all alone. He didn't hear the shark coming because he was crying.
Opha swam as fast as she could towards the sea horse and shark that was fast approaching. She was getting closer, but so was the shark. She saw the shark start to open his mouth then he closed it. She didn't know why the shark had paused but she was glad he had. He was right behind the sea horse. The sea hoarse never even knew the shark was there. Opha swam even faster. The shark was opening his mouth again.
Before the shark had a chance to open his mouth all the way Opha was there. She wrapped her eight legs around the sharks mouth and pulled it shut. She yelled at the little sea horse, "SWIM!! Swim away little fella". The sea horse turned and saw Opha fighting with the shark. He swam as fast as his little fins would take him. The shark kept trying to open his mouth. He was very strong and Opha couldn't hold on much longer.
As soon as she saw that the sea horse was far enough away and safe she made her own escape. She let go with all of her legs at the same time. Then she kicked as hard as she could with all of her legs right in the side of the sharks mouth. The shark paused for just a second. That was all the time Opha needed. She swam as fast as she could. After a second the shark started chasing her but she was too fast for the shark. She swam away and was safe from the shark in no time. She never saw the little sea horse again but it made her feel good to do something so big for someone else.

The Day Turtle Lost His Shell
There once was a cute little turtle with a very pretty shell. He lived in a
pond under an old oak tree. One morning when he woke up he noticed that his
shell was missing. He had his shell on when he went to bed. He didn't know
what had happened to it.
He asked Mr. Frog, "Have you seen my shell"?
Mr. Frog said, "No, you should ask Mr. Fish. He croaked and jumped along
his way.
Turtle didn't know where to look, so he went and found Mr. Fish. Turtle
said, "Hello Mr. Fish. Have you seen my shell today"?
"No I haven't". said Mr. Fish, You should ask Mr. Snake". Then he swam
away.
Turtle was starting to get sad. He was worried that he might never see his
shell again. Turtle found Mr. Snake and asked him, "Mr. Snake, have you
seen my shell"?
"Sorry Turtle, I haven't seen your shell" replied Mr. Snake. "Have you
asked Mrs. Bird? She might have seen it".
"No I haven't. Thank you anyway Mr. Snake".
Turtle swam over to the old oak tree. Then he started to cry. He knew that
he wasn't going to find his shell.
Then from above Mrs. Bird asked, "Why are you crying Turtle"?
Turtle told her that he lost his shell and couldn't find it anywhere. Mrs.
Bird started laughing. "Why are you laughing at me"? Turtle asked Mrs.
Bird. "Is it because I look funny with no shell"?
Mrs. Bird smiled and said, "No. I'm laughing because your shell is on your
back".
Turtle turned and looked. "I don't see it", he told Mrs. Bird.
Then she asked "Have you ever seen your shell"?
Turtle thought about it. He thought and thought some more, but he didn't
ever remember seeing his shell. "No, I don't think I have" he replied.
Mrs. Bird said, "It's been on your back the whole time. You just can't turn
your head far enough to see it".
Turtle felt silly about the whole thing then. He had made a big deal over
nothing. He thanked Mrs. Bird and swam off to show everyone his pretty
shell.

The New Bed Bug Story
Grumbly and Ritz were a couple of bed bugs. They were best friends.
One morning when they woke up they were down by the giants feet. It was
horribly smelly down there. They decided to make their way up to the giants
head. The smell had to be better then by it's feet. On the way up they
started hearing a roaring noise. When they got to the giants head they
realized that the giant was snoring. That's what the noise was.
Grumbly and Ritz decided to have a little fun. They climbed up onto the
giants face and when the giant breathed out it blew them up into the air.
It was very fun. They did it a lot. It was one of their favorite games.
Then one time while they were waiting to get blown into the air Grumbly
stepped too close to the giant's nose. The giant sneezed. The sneeze blew
them both into the air but also covered both of them with a spray of spit.
It was disgusting. That was the last time they ever played that game.

The Bed Bug Story
There were two little bed bugs that lived on cotton sheets. One bug was
green and hairy and his name was Grumbly. The other bug was yellow with
three eyes and his name was Ritz. They were best friends. They did
everything together. There was a giant that slept in the bed at night.
Every time the giant would move it was like an earthquake for the little
bed bugs. They would fly up into the air and bounce all about. It was very
scary because they never knew where they were going to land. Sometimes they
would land on the other side of the bed. A few times one of them would even
land on the giant. It was also scary because sometimes the giant would
scratch and slap itself while it was asleep.
This particular night was about to change everything forever. The giant
was tossing and turning all night long. Grumbly and Ritz were having a hard
time just staying on the bed. The giant stretched out it's big long leg
and.... it happened.
The giant put it's leg right on top of Ritz. Ritz started screaming for
help. Grumbly tried to lift the giant leg but it was too heavy. Ritz was
being crushed and there was nothing Grumbly could do about it. Ritz kept
yelling "Help me! Help me!". Finally with no other choice available Grumbly
took charge. He did the only thing that he could think of. He opened his
mouth as wide as he could and he bit the giant leg.
In that split second that followed two things happened. One, the giant
lifted its leg freeing Ritz. Two, the giant let out a scream so loud that
it woke up all of the other giants. Bigger giants came thundering into the
room. It took forever for the screaming giant to quieten down.
From that night on when it was time for the giant to sleep one of the
bigger giants would say "Good-night, sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs

Grumbly and Ritz would smile at each other. Then Grumbly would say "That's
right, I might. If you attack my buddy Ritz tonight".
Told on Oct. 20, 2010
green and hairy and his name was Grumbly. The other bug was yellow with
three eyes and his name was Ritz. They were best friends. They did
everything together. There was a giant that slept in the bed at night.
Every time the giant would move it was like an earthquake for the little
bed bugs. They would fly up into the air and bounce all about. It was very
scary because they never knew where they were going to land. Sometimes they
would land on the other side of the bed. A few times one of them would even
land on the giant. It was also scary because sometimes the giant would
scratch and slap itself while it was asleep.
This particular night was about to change everything forever. The giant
was tossing and turning all night long. Grumbly and Ritz were having a hard
time just staying on the bed. The giant stretched out it's big long leg
and.... it happened.
The giant put it's leg right on top of Ritz. Ritz started screaming for
help. Grumbly tried to lift the giant leg but it was too heavy. Ritz was
being crushed and there was nothing Grumbly could do about it. Ritz kept
yelling "Help me! Help me!". Finally with no other choice available Grumbly
took charge. He did the only thing that he could think of. He opened his
mouth as wide as he could and he bit the giant leg.
In that split second that followed two things happened. One, the giant
lifted its leg freeing Ritz. Two, the giant let out a scream so loud that
it woke up all of the other giants. Bigger giants came thundering into the
room. It took forever for the screaming giant to quieten down.
From that night on when it was time for the giant to sleep one of the
bigger giants would say "Good-night, sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs
bite".
Grumbly and Ritz would smile at each other. Then Grumbly would say "That's
right, I might. If you attack my buddy Ritz tonight".

Twink The Little Star
One uponce a time up high in the sky lived a little star named Twinkle.
Everyone just called him Twink though. All of the stars in the sky were
shining that night. They were all shining except Twink. Twink didn't feel
like shining. He felt all alone up in the big open sky. He was very sad. If
a star is sad then they don't glow very brightly at all. Poor little Twink
just didn't have the strength to glow that night. He tried and tried but
just wouldn't glow like the rest of the stars. He knew that the people on
Earth watched the stars. That's why the stars have to glow. He felt sad and
none of the other stars even noticed. Then the moon asked Twink if
everything was okay. The moon saw that Twink wasn't glowing very bright and
he was worried about little Twink. It made Twink feel loved to know that
someone cared about him. It made him feel good to know that if he didn't
glow then he would be missed. From that night on Twink glowed the brightest
out of all the stars. He was happy to have a friend like the moon.
One night the moon was bright.
All the stars were shining light.
It was such a very pretty sight.
Twink wished he may, he wished he might.
His glowing wasn't very bright.
It was not a constant pretty light.
His brightness seemed to come and go.
Down below the Earth so low.
He didn't think his glow would show.
He wanted to be a precious stone.
Instead of cold and all alone.
Just like a diamond high in cost.
Nothing more then a shinny rock.
Then the moon said from afar.
I wonder Twink just how you are.
Because you are my favorite star.
That brought a tear to Twink's eye.
He shined so hard with all his might.
To be the brightest in the sky's night.
Now when you look up at the stars.
When you wonder what they are.
You won't have to wonder far.
If you see a star that starts to blink.
He's the brightest star I think.
You will know his name is Twink.

The New Princess Story
One uponce a time in a castle long ago lived two princesses. Their names
were Auna and Eba. One day the princesses were playing in a magical cave
they had found. They were playing hide-and-go-seek with their troll
friends.
Eba was hiding in a dark cave, so they couldn't find her. She heard
someone coming so she slowly crept backwards watching the front of the
cave. As she was walking backwards she stepped into a giant spider web. It
was the biggest spider web that she had ever seen. She tried to pull free
but she was stuck tight where she stood. She heard a noise and looked up.
There hanging above her head was the webs owner. A big hairy spider. He was
climbing towards her. She was so terrified that she couldn't even scream
for help. He jumped and spun and landed on the ground in front of her. He
was as tall as she was. He smiled and said "I am Zen the spider king. What
is your name little girl"?
She could still barely speak. Slowly she said "I am Eba from the castle
above this cave".
Zen smiled even bigger and asked "Are you one of the princess sisters"?
"Yes I am" replied Eba. She saw Zen crouch and then jump towards her. She closed her eyes. She
felt the web shake from where he landed in it. Then she didn't feel stuck
any more. She opened her eyes and saw that Zen had cut her out of his web.
She was surprised, She said "I thought you were going to eat me".
Zen laughed and said "First of all, princesses are too sour. Most
importantly though, I am old friends with your father the King. He saved my
life once. Run along little princess. Oh, and please do tell your father
that I said hello!" He smiled one more time and then scurried back into his
web.
Eba was very excited to tell Auna about the nice spider King she had met.
They said good-by to their troll friends and hurried home. Eba couldn't
wait to tell their dad that she had met an old friend of his.

The Princess Doll Story
There sits a princess doll waiting to be played with. She is a very pretty
princess doll. Ava loves to dress her up and then undress her. She looks
American but was actually born in China. It took her a long time on a boat
to make it to our country. Then she found a temporary home in a store. It
was very boring.
One day Ava and her mom were walking through the store. The princess doll
saw them turn onto her aisle. She couldn't believe how beautiful Ava's mom
was. Ava was just down right precious herself. They walked closer to her
and then her and Ava's eyes met.It was love. Ava asked excitedly "Mommy,
Mommy, can I have that princess doll"? Ava's mom smiled and that is the day
that the princess doll finally found a home. The little Chinese orphan was
just as excited as Ava. Now whenever Ava sees the princess doll she takes
her down and plays with her. The princess doll couldn't have picked a
better home to live in. She was so happy that she had a family of her own.

The Fairy Story
One uponce a time there was a fairy tree that grew out of the middle of a
lake in a magical cave. There were a lot of fairies that lived in the tree.
There was one little fairy that just didn't fit in with the rest of the
fairies. Her name was Alura. She didn't want to go play fairy games. Alura
just wanted to sit alone and read. She loved a good book in a quiet place.
Her favorite book was "One Uponce A Time". It was written by a very strong
daddy that loved his children more then anything. While all of the other
fairies were out flying around doing fairy things Alura would lose herself
in those amazing stories.
Then one day a young fairy asked Alura what she was going to do that day.
Alura told the young fairy that she was going to read a story. The young
fairy didn't know how to read yet, so she asked Alura if she would read a
story to her. Alura had never read a story to anyone before, but how could
she say no to such a precious little fairy. They found a nice quiet place
at the top of fairy tree. Alura told the young fairy a story about a green
toad. The young fairy enjoyed the story a lot. After the story was over the
young fairy thanked Alura and went off to play.
The next morning when Alura was going out to read her book she noticed that
there was a lot of activity around the top of the tree. She flew up and saw
all of the young fairies talking excitedly. She asked what was going on.
The young fairy from the day before told her that they were all waiting to
hear a story. Alura was a little embarrassed because there were so many
young fairies waiting to hear her story. She sat down and told them a
story. They were all very happy. Every morning she would tell stories to
all the fairies. They all looked forward to her stories as much as she did.
From that day on Alura was no longer the little fairy that kept to herself.
Now she was the story telling fairy.

The Troll Story
There once was an orange haired troll named Grerro. He lived in a cave
with a lot of other amazing creatures. One day he found out just how
amazing those other creatures really were.
Grerro was playing by the big lake. He was watching the mermaids chase
the fish in a game of fast fin. All of a sudden he heard crying coming from
deeper in the cave. It sounded like someone was hurt. He ran towards the
direction the crying had come from. It started getting louder and louder.
Then he saw a little fairy laying on the ground crying. Grerro asked "What
is wrong little fairy"?
She replied "I hurt my wing and I don't know how I'm going to get home".
Grerro picked her up very carefully so he didn't hurt her wing. He said
"I'll take you home little friend". Grerro started walking back toward the
fairy tree that grew out of the middle of the lake. When he got to the lake
he realized that he couldn't swim with the fairy in his hands. He didn't
know what to do. Just then a mermaid swam by chasing a red-tailed snipper
fish. Grerro asked the mermaid "Do you know how I can get this little fairy
home to the fairy tree. The mermaid swam away really fast. Grerro thought
that maybe she didn't hear him. Then just as quickly as she swam away she
swam back with all of the other mermaids.
She said "We will take you to the fairy tree Mr. Troll". All of the
mermaids grabbed arms and made a little raft. It was just big enough for
Grerro to sit on. Once he was sitting on the mermaid raft they swam towards
the fairy tree.
Once they made it to the tree Grerro realized that he couldn't climb the
tree with the fairy in his hands. He looked at the little fairy and said
"I'm sorry but I don't know how to get you up in your tree.
The fairy sang a little song and the tree started moving. It was all of
the fairies coming down to help carry her into her tree. They all lifted
her from Grerro's hands very slowly. Before she left she said "Thank you"
to Grerro and the mermaids. The mermaids took Grerro back to the land and
he thanked them again for their help. Grerro felt good. Because everyone
cared so much and was so helpful the little fairy made it home safe and
sound.

The New Little Cow Story
One uponce a time there was a cow named Little Tex. He lived in Farmville
with a lot of different kinds of animals. Chickens, pigs, horses, sheep,
goats, but only one little cow. Everyone knew who Little Tex was but no-one
ever wanted to play with him.
He tried to play with the chickens, but they were too busy pecking the
ground.
He tried to play with the pigs, but all they did was rolled in the mud.
He tried to play with the horses, but they ran too fast for him.
He tried to play to the sheep, but they wouldn't talk to him.
He tried to play with the goats, but they just butted heads.
No-one wanted to play with Little Tex. They all thought he was too small.
So he decided that he should just be alone and play by himself.
The leaves turned orange and yellow and red. Little Tex played alone.
Then a blanket of snow covered the ground. Little Tex played alone.
The snow melted and everything turned green again. Little Tex played
alone.
Then one day Little Tex was out in the pasture and the horses came walking
by. They started talking about a new bull in Farmville. Little Tex didn't
know what a bull was, but he thought that he should go meet the new animal
and introduce himself. He walked up to the big barn. Everyone was
whispering "there's the new bull" and "look how big he is". Little Tex was
looking all over the place but he didn't see the new bull anywhere. Then
one of the horses walked over to Little Tex and asked, "What's your name?".
Little Tex was confused. He had already met everyone on the farm. They all
knew him. He said "It's me, Little Tex".
All of the animals gasped. "Wow! You have grown up a lot." said the
hoarse.
Little Tex walked over to the pond and looked at his reflection. It was
true. He wasn't short any more. He was tall and strong and had long horns
on top of his head. He wasn't a little cow any more. Now he was a big bull.
Everyone wanted to play with him now. No-one ever called him Little Tex
anymore either. Now they all called him Big Tex.

The Little Puppy Story
One uponce a time there was a little puppy named Perro. He wasn't just
little, he was very very little. He was so tiny that his daddy was afraid
to let him go play by himself. His daddy thought that Perro might get hurt
or lost because he was so little bitty. Perro always wanted to be big so
his daddy would let him play with all of the other pups in the junk yard.
One day Perro and his dad were walking down the street and out of nowhere
a dog-catcher sneaked up and scooped his dad up in a cage. Perro was so
little that the dog-catcher hadn't even seen him. His dad told Perro to run
back home. Perro was little on size but big on bravery. The dog catcher
picked up the cage and started carrying it back to his truck. Perro's dad
kept telling him to run home. Perro ran, but not towards home. He ran after
the dog-catcher and his dad. Perro wanted to save his dad, but he didn't
know what to do. Then he noticed that one of the dog-catcher's shoes was
untied. He ran between the man's shoes and grabbed the shoestring with his
teeth. Then he jumped over the other shoe and ran around behind the
dog-catcher. When the man took his next step the shoestring was wrapped
around his leg and it made him fall. When he fell he dropped the cage on
the ground. The cage broke open and Perro's dad was free. They both took
off running before the dog-catcher could even get up. Once they were safe
Perro's dad told him that he was very proud of him. Perro had proven that
even though he was little he could still be a big help. From then on
Perro's dad would let him play with the other pups at the junk yard.

the tree, but she was scared to climb down. So she started to cry. Then a
big red fire truck pulled up next to the tree. A man got out, pulled out a
long ladder and leaned it against the tree. He climbed the ladder and said,
"here kitty kitty kitty". She walked over to the fireman and he climbed
down out of the tree with the kitty cat in his arms. Then he looked at the
tag on her collar and drove her all the way back home. Her people were so
happy to see her again that they gave her a big bowl of warm milk. She felt
safe at home.

was asleep the truck had driven to the other side of town. She was a long
way from home and very scared. She knew that she lived next to a big tower
but she couldn't see the tower anywhere. She decided to climb a tree and
see if she could see the tower. When she got to the top of the tree she

The Birdie Story
There once was a birdie sitting in a tree. She was a beautiful blue bird
with a nest filled with three eggs. She made the nest herself out of twigs
and leaves. It was a small nest but a nice home for a bird. She would sit
on her eggs and keep them warm. Even when it was really cold she would sit
and protect her eggs. Even when it was raining she wouldn't leave her eggs.
She wanted to make sure that they were safe and nothing would happen to
them.
One day she was very hungry and she saw a small worm on the ground. She
thought about what to do. She didn't want to leave her eggs, but she was
very hungry. She finally decided to swoop down, grab the worm, and hurry
back to her nest. She jumped out of her nest and dove down toward the
ground. She gobbled up the worm and flew back to her nest as fast as she
could fly. When she got back to her nest she was very worried. One of the
eggs was broken open and there was nothing inside. She got very scared. She
started looking all over the place but couldn't find anything. Then she
heard a small "chirp" sound. She looked over the edge of the nest and there
sat a tiny little bird on the tree branch. Then she heard another "chirp".
She looked back into the nest and the other two eggs had hatched. All three
little birds had hatched and she was very happy. It looks like she might
need a bigger nest.

The Monkey Story
One uponce a time there was a monkey with long arms and a long tail. He
loved to swing through the trees. The forest was very big and green. There
were a lot of trees. Some of the trees had berries and bananas. He loved
bananas. He was a very happy monkey. He would make funny noises like "ooot
ooot" and "ooo eee eee". He would run around and wave his long arms over
his head like a crazy little monkey boy. Sometimes he would hang upside
down by his tail. It was always a lot of fun. He would swing and sing to
himself. Sometimes he would climb way up high in the trees and he could see
a long way in all directions.
One day he was swinging and the tree limb broke off. He was up real high
and he started to fall. It was a long way to the ground. He got scared that
he was going to get hurt. He was falling very fast. The ground was getting
closer and closer. Then he saw a vine hanging below him. As he fell past it
he reached out and grabbed it with his tail. He stopped falling and he felt
safe again. He never climbed up that high ever again.

The Cow Story
There once was a cow named Vaca. She wasn't like the other cows. All of the
other cows were white with black spots. Vaca didn't have any spots. She was
all white. She didn't like not having spots like the other cows.
She tried rolling in the mud, but when it rained the spots washed off. She wanted to
be like the other cows.
One day the farmer came and put bells around the
cows necks. The bells were all bright and shiny. Vaca was very excited
about getting a bell like all the other cows. By the time the farmer got to
Vaca all he had left was a bell that had been painted blue. This made Vaca
even sadder. Now she didn't have spots like the other cows and her bell was
different. She started to cry.
Then all of the other cows came over andstarted saying that they wanted
a blue bell too. They all liked her blue
bell because it was different. Everyone thought it was the prettiest bell
they had ever seen. Then Vaca knew it was good to be different. This made
her happy. She was a special cow with no spots and a big blue bell.
