by Blake Daniels

there Was a colony of kangaroos that lived in the forest. One of the kangaroos was a ninja who loved cold pizza. The only way he could get cold pizza was by going into a human store.

He didn’t like humans. Humans got on his nerves. They were so annoying. They wouldn’t give him cold pizza just because he was a kangaroo.

One day, Kangaroo Ninja noticed a hole in the bottom of the store. He went into the hole to steal some of the cold pizza. While he was in the store, he found the pizza but some humans saw him. Kangaroo Ninja ran away and got into a car. The humans got into a car, too. The humans chased Kangaroo Ninja.

Kangaroo Ninja felt bad for stealing the cold pizza. He stopped the car and gave the humans some money. The humans let Kangaroo Ninja keep the cold pizza.

Moral: If you are going to take something from a store, you should pay for it.

once upon a time, there was a girl zebra named Princess. She did not have any friends anymore because she was bossy to her friends. She used to breakdance with her friends and have marshmallow fights.

Before she left school one day, her friend gave her instructions for how to build a robot friend. But… when she turned it on, it chased her wherever she went. It chased her all day and night.

She drove to the squid who had given her the instructions to build the robot, and she yelled, “THESE ARE THE WRONG INSTRUCTIONS!”

Moral: Don’t make a friend even though you want a friend. Don’t be bossy, and you can have lots of friends.

T h E m OUSE AND T h E ch EETA h

by MacKenzie DeLauder

once upon a time, there was a cheetah named Sara. She was a peaceful animal, not like most cheetahs. She didn’t eat meat. She ate fruits and vegetables.

One day, while she was eating her fruit, she heard a sound and looked around. She saw a mouse walking by. The mouse saw Sara and started to shake. The mouse thought the cheetah was going to eat her.

Sara smiled at the mouse and said, “Hi, little one! I guess you want some cheese.” The mouse smiled back at Sara. “I guess you do, then,” said Sara. Sara gave the mouse some cheese. “How about we take a walk,” Sara said to the mouse, smiling once again.

The mouse and Sara walked through the jungle together. They were friends from that day on.

Moral: If you meet someone new, be kind.

once upon a time, there lived a monster who lived in the sewer. The monster was just like any other monster. He liked to scare people, and he liked to drink sewer water.

One day, he decided to scare a kid. That night, the monster crept into the kid’s house. He tiptoed into a room. He jumped out from under the bed. “Roar,” said the monster. The kid did not scream.

The kid said, “You don’t scare me!”

“I am a monster. I am supposed to scare you,” replied the monster.

The kid grinned and said, “Well, you don’t.” The kid rolled over and went back to sleep.

The monster was sad and then mad. So he took a deep breath and roared as loud as he could. The kid screamed and ran out of the room. The monster was happy.

Moral: Always try again.
