LENNY AND T h E c O c ONUT T r EE

by Wil Moulton

once upon a time, there lived a weasel named Lenny. Lenny was not like other weasels. He had white fur and could not climb trees. Lenny lived in Hawaii and liked to make sand sculptures all day because he couldn’t play in the coconut tree with the other weasels.

One day, he walked to the biggest coconut tree and tried to climb up it. He fell right down. He sharpened two sticks with his claws. He stuck one into the trunk of the coconut tree and then the other. He started to climb the tree using sticks. He realized he was about to reach the first coconut, but he was wobbling on the two sticks. The sticks he was stepping on cracked, and down he fell, landing face first in the sand. He shook the sand off his face, and then he heard a shaking, and a coconut fell onto his head. Lenny figured out he was not supposed to climb coconut trees like other weasels.

Moral: If you try to do something you are not supposed to do, you might get hurt.

once there Was a dog named Spot and a cat named Ann. Ann and Spot lived in Mexico.

One day, Ann walked to Spot’s house.

Ann said, “Let’s draw.”

Spot didn’t share any of his crayons. So Ann backflipped home.

Then Spot said, “I’ll share next time,” and he did.

Moral: Always share.

nce upon a time, there was a boy and a bird. They live in California in a scary, dark, dark forest. The bird was always hungry, every day. He saw that the boy had delicious food, all the time, and the bird was always jealous. The bird was scared to ask because the boy might say no.

One day, the bird was pecking the boy’s head for some cheese. They got into a fight. The cheese fell into the stream and went down a waterfall. The boy told the bird, “You should have just asked me for the cheese before you pecked me.”

After that, the boy and the bird had a good relationship.

Moral: Never give cheese to a bird or it will go crazy.
