How The Stick Was Made
Long, long ago, in a land called Bonclacs, there was a mean, selfish log who never listened to anyone. One day, the log decided it was a good day for him to do some pranks on the poor people. Soon, he spotted a poor, old, stranger. So, the log went closer so he could give him a wedge. The poor stranger was odd looking and had a brown robe, and a brown scarf covering his face. Do you know about the hidden treasure inside the cupboard? The stranger asked. Do I! Where did you find it? Said the log. In the cave to the left, but don’t go there the treasure will curse you! He said wisely. So, the log went to the cave on the left forgetting about the curse. Soon, the log opened the treasure box and got cursed. The curse made him thinner and tighter by the second. Two years later, he became sick and weak from the curse. Then, he was no longer a log, but a stick.

Mosquito Attack!!!
By DCG
One day on Pluto the mosquitoes were so hungry and wanted food badly. They were looking on each planet for food. On earth some of the people could not live with all the blood in their bodies. Some human’s blood cells expanded and grew bigger. When the mosquitoes finally went to earth the people agreed for the mosquitoes to stay on earth, because the mosquitoes got all the extra blood out of the infected people.
This agreement did not last for long! The greedy mosquitoes liked the taste of the yummy and delicious red human blood. The mosquitoes wanted more blood than just from the infected people. They wanted the juicy blood from the entire human race. So they made a mosquito army and attacked all humans. The war lasted for 5 years. Most humans got so weak and skinny that they died. The slippery survivors decided to make something that would kill the mosquito race. That weapon was a spray gun that would suffocate all the mosquitoes and their nests. The humans decided to use the remaining survivors to attack all of the mosquitoes with their new spray cans. The humans could not kill every single mosquito because the mosquito army brought in back up from Pluto. The humans decided that defending their planet was not enough! The humans had to attack the mosquitoes first home, Pluto. The remaining humans boarded Apollo 1,061 to Pluto where the humans killed the queen mosquito. After destroying the heavily guarded mosquito queen all the mosquitoes died. Some mosquitoes survived, but the humans knew they were too weak to very bother with the humans again! The humans returned home to rebuild their houses and cities.

Long ago there was a land called Halalulu. The shore’s water was colorful and could talk but it was stuck up and snobby.
One day a little child went with a cup to get the colorful water. Once he scooped up the water he heard someone yelling at him it said
“Hey! Down here! It’s the shore’s water! How dare you come to get my water! ”
Then the child ran away daring himself to never go back to the beach as he sobbed.
A few hours later a young beautiful witch came and yelled
“I shall take thee voice and color forever!”
Casting a spell and silencing the water forever.
And till this day only, that young child’s water stayed colorful.

Long ago in a distant land called Africa, an ape was born. His mother had fur but he didn’t. He was cold when the weather was cold, and he was cold when the weather was hot. One day a gust of wind blew really strong and it blew in Africa! The ape was freezing. He would do anything to be a little warm but nothing would help him. He tried hiding in his mother’s fur but that did not work. It was hopeless nothing would make him feel better. So that little ape sat shivering and begging other animals to give him some of their fur, but none of the animals would help out, they would only make fun of him. Poor ape he was freezing until the gust of wind blew some black and smooth grass on ape’s sticky skin. Suddenly the ape was warm. And from that day on apes have fur.

One day there was a pack of peacocks. Then suddenly their artist friends came and said “Why are you sad peacocks”. Then one of the peacocks replied “Look at us! We're all white and not colorful so we can’t blend in”. Then the artists sat and thought until the artists said they could paint them. So they did and lived happily ever after.

One Day Ella the Mermaid was swimming in the sea when a huge wind came and blew her ashore. She looked around her to see if there was anything to eat. There it was-an apple tree right on top of her. But how was she gong to reach it? She started flipping her body as hard as she could. The ground was rough. As she slowly pushed herself forward she felt her tail splitting in two “I am not going to give up” she said. She finally reached the tree trunk. She looked up and said “How am I going to reach the apple”? Ella wrapped her arms around the tree trunk and started pushing up. As she slowly advanced up the tree she felt her scales falling off as she pushed against the rough bark of the tree. It hurt but she was not going to give up. Ella looked down at her tail as she slowly saw skin taking place of her scales. “Yes” she said when she finally got to the top of the tree. As she slowly reached for the apple. As she slowly ate her split tail turned in to legs. “WOW” she said. She pushed her self down the tree with her new legs. When she reached the ground she took a small step forward then another then another. She could walk!!!!
