Kevin could keep a flock of ten thousand sheep and not even bat an eye. You see he'd just keep on whistling, and the sheep would just keep on grazing as nice as could be. Why he could walk one hundred miles away and if he kept whistling the sheep would just stay put. One day, while he was whistling and his flock was grazing, a pack of maybe a hundred wolves came by. They were hungry and when they set eyes on all those sheep they decided to have them a feast. They thought it would be easy to get some sheep since there were so many sheep and just one little shepherd. You see Kevin was only four feet high. So they sneaks around the flock to the side where Kevin aint, and they charges those sheep. But not a one of those sheep got caught 'cause you see while they was sneakin' around Kevin whistled a different tune. When those sheep heard that tune they run like the devil was after them. Then Kevin he whistled so loud and so high that those wolves' heads just cracked plum open. And Kevin just walked away whistlini. A Fable There once was a rabbit and a kangaroo. The forest where they lived was in a turmoil, as they were out of food. Across the stream however, food was plentiful. It was decided that a member of the forest would go across the stream and bring back food for all. The bear said, I cannot go, for,I am heavy, and will sink in the mud. The jackal said, I cannot go, for I will ruin my soft fur. The animals all declined in turn, until just the rabbit and the kangaroo were left. Naturally, the kangaroo easily jumped the stream, but the rabbit, try as he might, landed right in the middle. The kangaroo laughed, but he was alone in his amuse- ment. Upon the appearance of food, the rabbit was honored as a king, for the animals said, It is better to try, and not succeed, than to succeed, without trying. By Lois Yurow I Spy A Rabbit I looked out of my window, And I saw a bunny. The way he hopped he sure was funny. I threw him a carrot. He looked at me. He wriggled his nose And ran behind a tree. So I sat and waited For that bunny to appear. But he was 'so smart he Waited until I wasn't there. He didn't know I was peeking at him When he hopped in his hole Taking his carrot in. By Norman Hoston The Bullfrog and the Toad r Once upon a time there was a croaking contest, or a singing contest, but for frogs it's croaking. Bully, the bullfrog, the five time champion of the contest, was signing up for the contest when Twerp, the Toad, came hopping along. I think I'll try to win the croaking contest , said Twerp. Ha, ha, bellowed Bully. You can't beat me in croaking. I have the loudest voice in the county. Well, I can try, said Twerp. I guess I'll just have to practice a lot. I don't have to try very hard, I'm the best. Good luck, you'll need it. So the next few weeks Bully stayed at home and sat in front of the television eating meatballs, while Twerp was out practicing. Finally the day of the contest arrived. Bully went first. He came out and let out one of the biggest croaks you ever heard. Then came Twerp's turn. He got up to croak, opened his mouth, and let go of a croak that could have broken your eardrums. It went something like this: Crooooooooooooooooooooak. He broke the world's record for croaking. That just goes to show you that: Even a toad can beat a bullfrog if he tries hard enough . By Jimmy Creegan By Yourself by Dora Edelson I once knew a girl named Christy Malone, as snotty as she could be, She wouldn't say Hi she wouldn't say Bye to people like you and me. She had a mother and father who both possessed great wealth, So she wouldn't associate with anyone 'cept those as good as herself. ' She scorned them all, both young and old, with rudeness unsurpassed, They should have kicked her, really hard, right in her little . . . derriere Finally no one could stand it, a meeting was called to decide Justbwgliat to do with that awful shrew' whom nobody could a 1 e. Her parents begged and pleaded, they said, Christy, change your ways! Christy turned and looked at them, then said, Oh, go away! At that fateful meeting, fBy the way, t'was a Tuesday nightj The mayor got up and said to the Miss, Please emigrate from our sight. Said she, I will clean up my record, erase every scratch, every mark. But they all shook their heads, and then went to bed, Cause Christy had gone too far. 1 John Colt's Wreslin' Match by Richard Shore l In this 'ere story, I'm gonna tell y'all about the greatest wreslin' match ever was. It was 'tween John Colt an' the Devil hes'self. s John Colt was the greatest wrestler ever. Ne'er a man was alive as could beat 'im, John was a real nice guy. But he shor weren't humble. He bragged, on! an' on. His usual brag was that he had won every wreslin' match 'ed been in. Well, one day 'e was at a party, an' truth to tell, he drank too much. 'e started bragging louder than ever. 'e said 'e could beat man an' spirit alike, why, he said 'ed beat the Devil if he got a chance! W Well, down in Hades, the Devil 'eard this piece o' braggery, 'e told his demons that he would go ,and teach John Colt a lesson. So, 'e went out an' ,met John on 'is way home from the party I told y'all about. The Devil told John that 'ed wager anything John wanted that 'ed beat 'im in a wrestlin' match. Catch was, if John lost, he had to come to Hades to serve the Devil for eternity. Well at that party John 'ad said 'ed beat the Devil at wrestlin' and 'e never backed out once 'e said somethin', so 'e took the wager. 'e even said 'ed wrestle the Devil anywhere, so the Devil said they'd wrestle in Hades. Q Well, they got to Hades an' began to wrestle. When e'er John touched the Devil, hes skin sizzled. Why the Devil must've been near two thousand degrees fahren- heit! Well, for the first three hours, the Devil was beatin' John. But then John got jus' plain mad. 'e picked up the Devil an' threw 'im straight high up in the air. The Devil hit the top of Hades fwhich is naturally the bottom of the crust of the earthj so hard 'he dented it an' made a mountain up top. Ev'ry time they hit the Ceilin' o' Hades they made another mountain! Well, this time th' Devil threw John an' John got mad. 'e picked up th' Devil, an' shore as I'm standin' here, threw 'im up so hard 'is head popped right outa the earth. Well now, the Devil, 'e jus' couldn't get outa th' 'ole 'ed made. This got 'im so mad that 'e jus' became 'otter an' 'otter til' the rocks around 'im were so heated up, they started nieltin' an' 'e fell through an' all the way down to the bdttom o' Hades. Where his head popped up in th' earth's crust, the very first volcano was formed. Well, when he hit th' ground, he had to admit he was beat, an' that ol' John could have what e'er he wished fori. Colt said that the only thing 'e needed was a jacket to keep 'im warm during the winter. So 'e cutoff aipiece of the Devil's hide to make it. If you ever see 'im, you'll recognize 'im by a bright red coat 'e wears, 'cause 'e ne'er takes it off. r i l L The Two Foxes Once upon a time there were two foxes who in the winter were always very hungry. In fact they were almost famished. In the winter they were always trying to steal food from neighboring places or from people passing by. They both had one problem. They had too much pride. One would never let the other one know that he was actually starving. One fox would say to the second one, I have all the food in the world. Then he would try to stop his stomach from grumbling. The next one would say, I have all the food in the world, plus everything else. Then he tried to hold back a groan. After that at the same time they would say But I could use a tiny bit more. The only thing was that every time they tried to steal food from the closest farm, they would get caught. So the smarter fox said, Why don't we get to- gether and I will hold the door and keep watch while you steal the chickens. The second fox who had the most pride said, ..Nah'., In about a week the second fox started to die from starvation so he said, Allright, I'll go. So they went and got the chickens. The second fox was weak the rest of his life from having too much pride. Moral: Pride cometh before a fall or united we stand, divided we fall. By David Meister A CAT by Kathleen Chow Once there was a cat Who ate a fat rat. After he was nice and full He felt as strong as a bull. He said to himself I'm king of the jungle. I'm king, he mumbled I'm strong But not for long, Said a voice behind him It was Tim, The real king of the jungle. Now the cat Who ate fat rats Never said when he was full He felt as strong as a bull. The Peacock and the Wolf by Kendall Butts One day a peacock was basking in the sun admir- ing himself. A wolf was watching hungrily behind a bush thinking of a plan to catch the conceited pea- cock. Eventually the wolf came out and asked, Pray tell, peacock, what are you doing? The peacock answered, I am admiring my beauti- ful tail feathers in the bright sun. Why do you ask? Well, the wolf said, I thought that you were trying to change your ugly color. Besides, what feathers are you talking about? I don't see any. The peacock, becoming very angry, stomped up to the wolf and put his feathers right under the wolf's nose. Mr. Wolf, now do you see these beautiful feathers? asked the bird. No, I don't, they are tickling my nose, put them in front of my eyes, the wolf said. And with this he gobbled the peacock up, feathers and all. Then the wolf said, Self-conceit may lead to self-destruction. My First Big Catch by David Delmar The captain of the Sea Gull greeted my family and me as we boarded the boat for a day of flounder fishing. While we stored our gear below, the boat eased slowly backwards out of the slip, and then moved rapidly into the sea lanes. The nearer we came to the trolling area, the more excited I became. I baited the two sharp hooks on my line, with slimy squid and squirming minnows. I dropped the line over the side of the boat and released the reel. I could feel the weight bumping along the rough bottom of the bay. I felt a tiny nibble. Quickly, I set the line. Suddenly, I was jerked from my chair by a giant force. Just as I thought I would be pulled over the side of the boat, I felt a pair of strong arms fold across my chest. Give him some line. It was the voice of the captain. Now, take up the slack in your line. For over fifteen minutes, I see-sawed the line in and out. Just when I thought the unknown creature was eidiausted, he would lurch forward again. Some- one called, Get the boat net. Then I saw the outline of the demon near the surface ofthe water. I yelled, Get the boat hook. It was an enormous Sting-ray, weighing about sixty five pounds. Needless to say, I did not want to net this catch. Not wishing to come closer to his barbed tail, the captain pulled the line to the side of the boat and carefully cut the bat-like creature free. He slithered gracefully away, probably none the wiser for the ordeal.

The bull is led in, The devil of the laybrinth, He is feared by all mankind, So muchgthat they insist on making his death a sport. The arena is now as silent as a funeral, which in all truth, it is The Picador enters, lance in hand, On horse, no doubt. Why risk his life for a lousy bull fight. After he starts the blood flowing and gets the crowd thirsty for more, he leaves, What an easy way to make a living. A cheer goes up He is here! Our hero! He who will provide for us an afternoon's entertainment, A week's worth of conversation. He dismountsg the tight has begun! My, isn't he graceful. If he's lucky, he could live to be 40. What for? Why? What sport do they find in this? If he's so graceful, let him go into ballet If he's so courageous, let him jump the Snake River Canyon. But enough! The bull is clown, will he ever regain his feet? Or is he to be distributed in the streets of Spain? No, the tight is over. The crowd cheers the brave matador. He mounts his horse and circles the arena. Gallantly, like Johnny come home from the war. Flowers and money fly everywhere. All is quiet. The money has been swept up. The crowd has long since left. The matador and his friends are gone. 4 The bull has just been taken away. T But the blood and the sweat that the bull excreted remains forgotten evermore Ole ! 40 l ff V! Sir Sneeze-A-Lot by Betsy Pastor Sir Sneeze-A-Lot was walking through a garden in the cemetery one day when he stumbled over a plant. Leaning down he looked at it, and immediately began to sneeze. The sneezes were not soft sneezes, mind you, he awakened three dead persons with his first sneeze and made the preacher bald with his second. If you haven't guessed by now the plant was the highly dangerous sneezing plant. One glance at it and youill start sneezing for God knows how long! Now Sir Sneeze-A-Lot didn't know what to do. He was sneezing 177 sneezes a second, so of course he couldn't tell anyone his problem. But he soon found out he didn't have to because people for miles around knew what the horrible, screeching noises were. They scattered away as fast as they possibly could, before the Sir could get closer to them. But, fortunately for him, the loud terrible sneezes eventually came down to a deafening roar and the pharmacists allowed him to come into their stores for help. The first pharma- cist said, I'se so sorry, Sir, but there's nothing I'se can do fo' you. As far as I'se knows, there's no cures for yours dread disease. Sorry, Sir, good day. But that certainly was not a good day for Sneeze-A-Lot. But he was in luck at the second store, for the pharmacist knew the cure. Says him, Sure, I know that cure. It's a right simple one, at that. Allise you has to do is eat a lot of pepper. And with that the pharmacist led him to the great pepper field. The field was chock full of pepper, all right. The pharma- cist told Sir Sneeze-A-Lot to start eating the pepper and assured him that he would not sneeze while he was eating it. So he started to eat the terrible tasting thing and after a long, long while, he was finished. He sat back and rested a moment weary from the hor- rible cure. An then, Sir Sneeze-A-Lot let out a sneeze that nobody will ever hear the like of in a zillion years! It was so loud it killed all the plants in the area for miles around, broke all the windows of the houses in 5197 neighborhoods, and deafened any person who hap- pened to be around for 82 miles including the phar- macist. But the pharmacist was used to that, and got his hearing back the next year. But the main thing it did was cure Sir Sneeze-A-Lot from ever uttering a single sneeze in his life again! And I suppose I should mention that it made the people for 82 miles around never sneeze also! Small But Mighty One day in Ethiopia there was a herd of big gray elephants stampeding thru the brush. When the ele- phants were pretty far away, a little black mouse poked his head thru the tunnel to see what the noise was. As soon as he poked his head thru the opening of the tunnel, he almost got his head knocked off. He fell down the ladder to the bottom of the dark tunnel, and under the bed he flew. He heard a crum- bling sound and a big elephant foot fell through the tunnel and ruined his little house. By this time the little mouse was quite annoyed. He flew from under his bed, and he raced up his ladder and poked his head through the ground carefully. He saw some big elephants chewing up his camouflage around his home. He walked up to the king elephant, forgetting how small he was and bit the king elephant right on the tail. The king elephant screamed, and seeing this the other elephants ran away, with the king elephant right at their heels. Moral: lt doesn't matter how small you are, if you have determination. Nicky Patchan LOVE by Karen Klanga 'Love can be found all over town It can bring joy when you are down It can bring faith to the one with no hope. It can help when you find you can't cope. Love can be found in a girl and boy. But most of all Love is joy. Butterflies by Dorothy Trinh Butterflies are such a beautiful sight The colors on its wings glimmer in the warm sunlight. They land on flowers with such grace, And take off with a fast pace They flutter in the air as the wind blows gently. And as I watch so intently, I think of other beautiful things, Like the bird's flight and the strength of its wings. if ff-p 'fl . .111- Soldier Boy by Brad Tepper Well, once upon a battle there wuz da Battle o' Gettysburg.

There were perty green trees as far as the eye coulcl see. A man by the name of Carlo, don't rightfully know his last name, lived there. Well, anyway, he waslone of those Italy fellows, and he strutted around here like a stuffed turkey. All the women folk liked him. Person- ally I kinda thought he was strange. He kindaltook a fancy to ol Tank's girl, Melinda. Tank thati was a lumberjack, a good one at that. Tank tol' that ol' stuffed turkey that he better leave his gal alone. Dat Carlo fellow refused to do it. Well, 'bout that time Melinda came up. Tank had a notion to flatten him, but Melinda would not have it. She said whoever can clear that lot the fastest can have me. So they divided it in half, and Tank went to work choppin' lejft and right. Carlo lit a match an' stood back. Well he cleared his side and some of Tank's side. Of cburse, Tank felt cheated an' demanded another test. I-le was a good lumberjack, but he was a great runner. lLittle did he know that Carlo was, too. They were tlo run the next morning. Tank ran round the world twice, in the same time Carlo could only get around onde. So, to show his real strength, Tank ran around the lvorld again. Well, by then he had up so much speed lie just took off into orbit, and we haven't seen him since. My Identity by Jenny Boyd l I like to think about myself, Who I am and what I be, Am I thoughtful? Am I nice? What is my identity? ' I like to run, I like to skate, I like to climb an old, dead tree, I I like to swim the rolling tide f But that's not my identity. I like the seashore's cooling breeze, And camping with the family, I like the quiet woods at night l Is that my true identity? I like to watch a calling bird, j I like to smash an annoying flea, l I like to find a robin's nest, But that's not my identity. .

Getting the feel of it, he glided and swept over the peaks easily and confidently until he stum- bled on something hard. As if flung from a catapult, he crashed down the slopes, followed by his poles. After stopping by bracing himself against the snow, he managed to crawl around on all fours, calling for help until other skiers came to his aid. Laughing heartily, they untangled him and led him to a clearing where they started a fire. The fire crackled merrily as the skiers fed it with paper and twigs. Greedily, the hungry fire consumed the fuel. Intensely-colored flames shot out of the fire as it danced and leapt. The gay flames, glowing like brightly-colored streamers, were a source of comfort and delight to the circle of skiers. Suddenly, an unex- pected gust of wind made the fire waver and sputter until all that was left of the cheery blaze was ashes. THE WOODPECKER by David Feldman The woodpecker chopped out a little round hole, Where he made him a house in a telephone pole. One day I saw him poke out his head, With a funny hood and a collar that's red. When the water from rain pours from the sky, And the flashes of lightning go flashing by. And the big roars of thunder roll, He can sleep in his telephone pole. Cat and Mouse The mouse creeped slowly as time etched by. He was fearful of the cat, but more fearful of death from hunger lingering before him. The grandfather clock suddenly struck 3:00 a.m., startling the poor mouse. He scurried across the floor into the living room. The soft couch lay invitingly before him. Unmindful of the cat for a moment, he sprung joyfully on the couch. After a quiet rest, he resumed his journey toward the kitchen. He ran on. Finally he reached the cold tile floor. He walked with fake patience to the kitchen and squeezed under the pantry door. Patience had failed. He set to work. When he has sufficiently stuffed himself, he left the pantry. Unable to run, he waddled toward his home. There was a small puddle of blood on the floor. The mouse lay next to it. The cat stood with a gleam in his eye. By Lois Yurow A Ditch in Time by Wendy Metzger Rick wuz the best durn ditch digger I ever seen. He wuz six foot tall with shoulders as broad as an ox's. He claimed he wuz the fastest ditch digger in the west. Folks from all around called him Quick Rick. Well, one spring day a fella named Pete got fed up with hearin' about Quick Rick. He got fightin' mad. Ain't nobody can dig a ditch faster in me. If Quick Rick ain't asceered 0' racin' against me let him prove it. Tomorrow at the streak 0' dawn we'll both set to diggin'. Which ever one o' us digs the biggest ditch by nightfall wins. Someone here kin tell him that! An' he stormed out oi the saloon. The next day at the streak o' dawn everyone wuz gathered near the ditch diggers' camp. Pete and Quick Rick were ready with their shovels. The startin' gun wuz fired off an' the two men began to dig. At first they wuz diggin' most even. They went on this way 'til shortly past noon. Then all o' the sudden Quick Rick had a spurt oi energy. He digged faster an' faster. By nightfall he wuz way ahead o' Pete. Now the folks waited an' waited for Quick Rick to climb out 0' that ditch, but he didn't get out until Christmas. Then everyone told him that it wuz the grandest ditch they ever did see an' to this day it's knowed near and far as the Grand Canyon. AN UNEXPECTED VISIT I by Shirley Win Sitting in the room, Kate read to her impatient listeners. The enthralled group was together listening with open ears to the gruesome tale. But, what was that? Was it a roar of a nearby storm or a plane flying by? Yet, that noise could not have been either of those two. Kate, taking the three children with her, went to investigate the incident. As Kate stepped out of the house, she saw beams of light. These strange beams gave them an eery feeling. Walking on, they noticed it had gotten very dark. Making their way to the lights, the group suddenly gasped in horror!! It looked like a spaceship, but of a shape unexplana- tory. All of the sudden, a door opened and a ramp slowly slid out, landing on the solid ground. Not waiting another moment, Kate and the children fled for their lives. Coming down the ramp two creatures appeared. Gee, said one of the creatures. I wonder why they ran? Such cowardly Earthlings, and I was only going to ask them where the nearest store was, so we could get a new stock of Tang. James Creed by Lisa Pichney James Creed was a horse shoer. He could make any horse a shoe. He had one hundred an' eighty pounds of muscle backin' him up. James made the best darn shoe you could get. Ev'ry day folks would bring thar steed to him so's he could give them shoes. He'd make four shoes so perfect that you could put a balance on them. One day, 'bout 1872, a man came from those hills out yonder. To James' shop he went. He bet James that he could make better shoes than James. The people knew that ol, James would whip the new- comer. The contest was to take place Friday. Today was Tuesday. James was cleaning all his 'quipment so's he'd be ready on Friday. The other man, named Bart Stray, was getting ready also. The contest consisted of making four shoes for thar own horse. These shoes must be made the best and fastest. The winner would get one hundred an' fifty gold pieces. Today is Friday, the day of the shoein' contest. All the towns' folks came out to watch this contest. The judge said, Start So James an' Bart got started. After thirty minutes, James had made three shoes an' was half finished with the fourth. But Bart was just starting his third one. Five minutes later, James had finished all the shoes an' had put them on his horse. He won the hundred an' fifty gold pieces. Many others challenged him, but he always won.

I I The Mouse and the Giraffel' by Skip Abbott One day a little mouse, feeling quite inferior to everyone else in the forest, was walking along a small path wondering how he could do away with himself. With a chain around his neck and feet, he was about to say his last farewells to the world when a huge giraffe walked by him. At this time the giraffe was the king of the forest. The mouse thought it was really something for the giraffe to even talkI to him. The giraffe said What are you doing? The mouse answered, I am going to hurl myself into this lake where I will sink and die. The giraffe said, Why? I Because,,' replied the mouse, I am a wprthless, puny nothing. The giraffe became very angry with the mouse and said, The other day, I saw you making flutds out of wood for the sick animals of the animal hospital. Before the mouse could reply, the giraffe had taken off the chains and was saying, One good deed deserves another. I I I 'fThe Giraffe and the Donkey by Brian Orloff One day a donkey passed by a giraffe. The onkey started making fun of the giraffe's long ne Ik. The giraffe at first ignored the donkey and then said, All giraffes have long necks. The donkey kept making remarks about the giraf fe's long neck so that the giraffe began to ogy and then ran away. The next day the giraffe and the donkey met again. The donkey kept making insulting remarks about the giraffe's long neck when theigiraffe noticed something. The donkey didn't have'a tail. Now the giraffe began to rub it in, and the donkey learned a lesson. I MORAL: Never tease unless you can take it in return.

There were rab- bits, racoons, chipmunks, squirrels, and field mice in this group. They loved and respected each other and never dreamed of deserting the group. They lived in a forest. The young animals loved the paradise in which they lived. They ran around, played in pools, and climbed up trees. The older members liked the cool climate of the forest. They led a peaceful life except when the wolf came. Then they all worked together to make the wolf go away. In the end the wolf always went away. Charles Chipmunk was dissatisfied with this. He thought it was stupid that they just chased the wolf away so he could come back again instead of killing him. He decided he would go fight the wolf himself. Everyone was appalled at this idea. If they could not beat the wolf altogether how could he manage to beat the wolf alone? Charles Chipmunk was determined, however, so he went. He walked for a long time through the forest. Finally at nightfall he saw a wolf. He was so scared that he was going to run back, but he went on. With a twig from a tree he hit the wolf. The wolf growled and charged the poor chipmunk. Charles was so frightened that he ran home as fast as he could. So you see, said the old squirrel, United we stand, but divided we fall. By Michelle Cohen The Unusual Ride by Lauren Sokolski As the chair lift creeped upon us, Arlene lost her grip, and by the time I tried to get on it was too late. The conductor jerked the motor off, and found me in tip top condition. I then carefully got on a chair but it was separate from Arlene's, and she was scared. The lift began to move so I started explaining to Arlene how to get off the lift. I was interrupted by a jolt, and then the complete stop of our transportation. Arlene and I sat motionless in our swaying chairs, with our skis dangling through the air. My sister, Lynn, who sped down the hill on her swift skis yelled to me that the motor was on fire. I screamed that I was too young to die. Suddenly the chairs thrust forward and we started slowly climbing up the steep hill. Arlene and I were very happy. Then knowing how bad our luck was, the chairs just died, and rested in a complete stop. This time I was really scared. I didn't know whether to cry or laugh I did both. Finally the lift started to move, and as we approached the platform at the top. I hurriedly released myself from my seat, and wobbly glided down to the bottom. This was Arlene's first time on the chairlift, and it would probably be her last. Y ' . . - .. -1 ' r u l 1 9 Q 4 ' ,E , 3 ml! 1, V, 04, -. s mx, af im 'Q 5'1- ax' vi. The World of Flowers By Mary Ellen Murphy Life is like a garden with many buds to blossomg In this garden we look and see, all the wonders that life may bring. In the winter seeds are planted, Under ground where they are needed. With the spring bringing new life, We seldom see what life's about. As we grow through the years, our friendships seem richer. With the pleasures of each day, sweet memories are tucked away. When we see what love can be, caring comes more easily. To just live from day to day, and see all the beauty life may beg We are confronted with misfortune, such as the day we will wilt away.

When they awoke in the morning, the only thing that they did was color the earth beautiful colors. They colored everything and anything. One day a mass of little flying things called Bows came to the Blooming Colors and asked them if they would please color them. The little Bows did not tell them that they only came out after it rained. The reason for this was because Bows evaporate in dry weather. So Mr. and Mrs. Blooming Colors dried them off before the Bows could tell them that information. The little Bows were dried off in a half circle position because the Blooming Colors lined them up this way. There was a sudden burst of colors and the Bows were gone, but they left a beautiful half circle of many colors. Remember this story from time to time after rains and you can figure out how we get our rainbows. What keeps the rainbows coming out after it rains? Well, you see Mr. and Mrs. Blooming Colors are still coloring the Bows. But only sometimes because the Bows sometimes are scared to evaporate. And the reason they call it a rainbow is because the Bows come out after it rains. I WONDER IF by Richard Leventhal I wonder if reality isn't a figment of everyone's imagination?

The sons he had were very hard to get along vxlith. They all wanted something different. One wanted money, another wanted a huge house, and the young- est wanted money to help support his father. fThe king in a nearby village was offering a reward to the person who cut the oak in the front of the palace window, and also dig a well in the court yardl The king's reward was the princess and half the kingdom. This meant he would also have access to a huge house or palace. I Then it was time to pay a visit to the king. When they arrived the king gave them a lecture on' what had to be done. He said one must cut the oak and dig the well. The first one tried and failed. Every time he would cut the oak it would grow bigger and strpnger. When he tried to dig the well, it would become fbigger and higher. When the second one tried thef same things also happened. When it was the last brothers turn he took his time and did both jobs well and complete. He gave all his riches to his fatheriexcept his wife the princess. l Moral - Take your time and do it right. 9 l i f J l l THE ADVENTURES OF KONG by Jimmy Creegan Once upon a time, in the magic land of Aargh, there lived a prince called Morton the Monster. Mor- ton had a problem - he always talked backwards. In the neighboring land of Shriek there lived a gallant knight. His name was Fang. They called him Fang because if people didn't do what he wanted, he bit them in the leg. In the neutral zone between Aargh and Shriek lived a horrible monster called Kong. Kong was an expert at cross-word puzzles. Kong ate up all the trees in the neutral zone, so he decided to invade the Land of Shriek. Trees are what Kong likes to eat best, and everyone knows that Shriek has the best Snap- Crackle-Pop trees in the whole world of Boo. It was a fierce battle. The Howl soldiers, led by Fang, couldn't hold him back though. Kong was on the outskirts of the capital city, Groan, when Fang blew his top. He ran right up to Kong and bit him onthe leg. Kong turned around and ran all the way past the neutral zone and into the magic land of Aargh. By now Kong was so hungry he started eating the magic Kick Me trees that the magic land of Aargh is famous for. After Kong had finished his third tree, every tree seemed to be growing. This was not so for him, however, he was shrinking. The magic trees made him shrink. By the time Morton the Monster got to the spot, Kong was two feet tall and shrinking. Lrans, said Morton. That means snarl. Eht dnal fo Keirhs sah tnes mih ot yortsed su. So Morton got his army ready to attack. When he tried to yell forward , he yelled drawrof! So his soldiers sat down and started to draw roofs. In the end, all turned out well. The land of Shriek that Kong had destroyed was fixed or grew back. Morton had some pretty pictures of roofs, and Kong was happy. The more he ate, the more he shrunk. The more he shrunk, the more food he had. The more food he had, the happier he was. The happier he was, the more he ate. The more he ate, the more he shrunk.

Alfred, whose moth- er did everything for him, and Sidney, whose mother made him do things for himself. One day the young ducks were talking about being old enough to be out on their own in the big beautiful world. Alfred said it would have to be when his mother told him he was old enough. Sidney said he had made up his mind. He was leaving early. He had too many responsibilities at home, and if he had to work that hard he should only have to do things when he wanted. This could only be when he was on his own. So time passed, and Sidney left for the big world. He still had to work hard and had many responsibili- ties. Life was not as easy as he thought. One day he met his old friend Alfred who had only been on his own a few weeks. He was down on his luck - no job, hadn't had much to eat and was delighted to see Sidney. Sidney could do everything and anything - so Alfred asked Sidney to help him. It was like old times. Alfred, the man of leisure, and Sidney doing it all. Having Alfred around made Sidney think for the first time. His mother had done so much for him by teaching him how to do so many things that she must have loved him very much.

The king, the strong and powerful lion, was furious at the capture of his lioness. He immediately sent a search party. A few days later they were found and brought to the palace. The king was so angered he didn't know what to do. He had them put in the dungeon until he figured out what to do. The lion in a few days said that he would have a contest of survival. He sent them away with five soldiers each, to bring their best food from home for the lioness. He said to be back in three hours, and the one who does the best job will live, but the other two will die. When they got back the fox presented grapes and fruits for the queen. He said conceitedly, These are the finest grapes and fruits you'll ever see! The mouse brought a large variety of expensive good cheeses and said very modestly, I hope you will like the cheeses, your majesty. I think they're all right. Third, the horse stepped up with oats and hay and said, These oats are fine foods, so Ihope youill like them. The queen responded by saying, The fox's food was all right, but he was too conceited. The mouse's food was very good, but he was too unsure of it. The horse's food I like least of all, but I want the horse to live. He wasn't too conceited or too modest. Very well, then, announced the king, the horse will live. Thou who are too conceited or too modest, fate may await them. THE GREEN GRASS by Jackie Costantino I wonder why the grass is green?

I One day an evil horse asked for an audience with the king. The horse said, King 'Z', if you do not make me Minister of Food and Water, I will tell the horses that you are the devil. The white horses would then behead King Z . The king made the horse Minister of Food and Water. I Now the new minister was actually a prince from the Kingdom of Mustang II. He had his armies come in and pretend to be slaves who had been captured as spies. Now the earth was quite young and thel people were not very wise. Since the kingdom of Mustang II had just resolved a war with the Kingdom 'f Pinto and they were very short of food and wa er. The Minister of Food and Water and his men wereistealing from the white horses' storehouses. And even though the earth was very young and the people were not so wise, they soon realized that their storehouses were being robbed. They called King Z a fool jfor not consulting his advisors. They decided that the King should be marked so that all who saw him would know that he was a fool, but they did not kndw how. They asked, How can we mark 'Z ? One man said, We should write the word fool on his siddsf' The artist of the kingdom did his deed. Z was then exiled. I Z wept bitter tears over his exile. The tears flowed in profusion, and we all know that paint in those days was not waterproof. The paint ran and the word fool smeared and became stripes - and that is how the zebra got his stripes! 1 I 1 4 48 5 A Fable By David Delmar A lion cub romped happily through the forest, pouncing at each moving leaf and creature he saw. It was growing dark, and a firefly flickered infront of him. As he started to swat the tiny insect, it said, Please, handsome lion, do not crush me with your paw. Someday I will repay your kindness. The cub decided that the small creature was not worth chasing, and continued to play. As it grew darker and darker, he wandered farther and farther into the forest. Each leap took him away from his family den. He suddenly realized that he was lost, and he began to cry, Please, someone, help me. Then out of the darkness came a bright glow. It was the tiny firefly and his friends. They led the lost cub back hom to the safety of his family den. You cannot live by brute force alone. Everyone needs friends no matter how small. The Bridge, the Peacock and the Fox One fine summer day a sly and witty fox had an irresistable craving for a peacock. He didn't know how he could catch a beautiful bird such as the peacock, and all day he pondered over an idea to catch a peacock. Then the sly fox got an idea when he saw two bears on a narrow bridge arguing over which of the two should step to the side and allow the other to go past. The fox observed the two bears arguing. He heard the smaller of the two bears say, Please, sir, if you would kindly step aside and allow a smaller and helpless creature to go by, I will be grateful. The larger bear allowed the smaller one to pass him and then walked off in the direction of the setting sun. Now the fox, who was a very wise fox, figured, Well, if I should meet a peacock half way, flatter it, and then allow the bird to go by first, I could pounce on the peacock while its back is turned! Then I'll have a feast for supper. A The fox hid behind a tree until he saw a fine, fat peacock crossing the narrow bridge. The fox darted out from behind the tree and on to the bridge. There he met the peacock half way and said, My, I should sit on the railing of this narrow, narrow bridge, and let a far more exotic creature then myself go by ll'Sll.,, Now the flattered peacock waited until the fox seated himself on the railing, then he said, Thank you, dear fox, for letting me go first! With that the peacock strutted past the fox with his head held high, and a conceited look on his face. The fox then pounced on the bird, and had a fine meal that night. Moral: Don't trust former enemies, and don't be taken in by flattery. By Linda Hsiao Round-Up Rob and His Hosses by Erica Greenberg Sure, I 'member ol' Rob. There ain't no one in all these parts who don't. Was way down in Oklahoma he got his start. He worked for old Judge Stonehart. You might not 'member him, he's long gone, he is. Buried down near San Antonio. Gone now for nearly ten years. Was sad, might sad. But I'm sure you don't wanna hear 'bout the Judge. But its cuz of him Rob got his start. Used to go way down South to the Rio Grande, he would. The Judge used to let him buy hosses for him. Rob sure had a good eye for hosses, only the best. Then Rob would take a good long look at 'em, pick the wildest one outa the bunch an' break em right then an' there. Then I'll be darned ifin he didn't ride that beast back up north roundin' the whole bunch of em. Folks say he did it jus' so's the Judge would give 'em a raise. Well, some of them fellers who worked for the Judge used to cheat 'em whenever Rob weren't 'round. You see, they used to up an' steal some of the J udge's finest hosses an' git 'way with it, cuz Rob weren't 'round to stop 'em. Well, I'll be dammed ifin' one day the Judge him- self is out makin' the rounds, an' he see's his own hands leadin' 'way his favorite hoss. So's the next day Rob came back an' fast as lightin' the Judge dragged him into his office, sat him down an' told him 'bout it. The two of 'em sat there an' sat there fer three days, seein' as neither one of 'em wanted to lose the help. Finally though, wouldn't cha know it, Rob de- cided to rebrand all the hosses, jus' in case. So he an' the Judge wen' out durin' the night, so's none of the help would find out, an started a big fire to heat the brandin' iron. Well, wouldn't yo' know it, them two got mighty sleepy brandin' hosses all night long, finally so's it happened, the Judge fell asleep. Rob kept at it, 'til at long last he only had the new herd jus' in from Rio Grande to brand. This herd was full of them young, wild broncs, an' even Round-up Rob had a hard time. He go so fed up with 'em that finally jus' put on his hobnail boots an' stuck 'em in the fire an' stepped on them thar hosses, very lightly mind you', but heavy 'nough so's to make the skin burn 'way where's even the hobnails touched. After a while the ol' Judge died, an' the ranch fell to shambles. Ol' Round-Up moved on, an' ifin ya go out for a ride or walk you'll probably see some of them Hobnail Hosses still runnin' 'round. The Mouse and the Catl' by Bridget Moyle Seven little mice had just come storming through the door of their home, seeking safety from a cat. One little mouse had come in last, and had his pointed nose high in the air. I'm not afraid of that cat, said that mouse. That cat would never catch me, for I am too fastf, All the other mice began to scatter as the cat entered the room. Ah, said the cat. Be gone, said the little mouse filled with con- ceit. I'm not afraid of you!', And with his last word, the cat had eaten the little mouse up. MORAL: Self-conceit may lead to self-destruction. The Colony of Bees by .Ienny Boyd There once was a colony of bees. This colony was enormous and lived in richness of nectar and honey. These bees were ruled by a gentle, brave, and intelli- gent queen, a beauty to look upon. But, one day the worker bees failed to bring back nectar for the hive to make honey with. The drones being partially irritated that day, chased the workers out. The workers were offended and decided never to go back to the hive. The drones were very pleased with themselves and went to her majesty, the queen. But, she was furious and banished them all. Just after the drones had left, Old Grouch, The Bear, came along. He often came to get honey from the hives, but he never got any. The bees always chased him away. This time, however, no bees chased him away so he took all the honey. The queen, having no honey and no workers to get more honey and no drones to get more workers, soon died. Meanwhile, the workers who had no queen to rule them, also died. The drones likewise died. How pros- perous they all were when working together. MORAL: United we standg divided we fall. The Lion and the Fox by Kim King One day there was a lion and a fox talking together near to a lake. The fox had obviously siad something to the lion which the lion did not like. The fox had already started to run because he knew the lion was mad. Sure enough, the lion took out after him. They were both slowing down, but the lion was catching up to the fox. There were two hunters hiding behind a tree watching the fox and lion. One of them shot the fox and the other shot the lion. MORAL: Donit try to hurt anyone else because you may get hurt, too. I I IN THE MEADOW 'p by Dorothy Trinh In the meadow where the green grass grows, l sit in the sun and twiddle my toes. I smell the sweet blossoms that grow all around, And then I sit still and listen to the soundsg E Of birds chirping and singing in the sky, Y And of the summer breeze blowing by, i And the rustling of trees in the distance I see, And maybe the buzzing of a honeybee! I I love this meadow - so bright and gay, That all my life I will always say, r That the meadow is the best place to be, And if you don't believe me, just come here and see! US by Debbie Steinman As long as the waters rush on, and the land wears low, There will always be me, there will always be y'ou. There will always be us. As long as the wind breezes by, and the trees sway high There will always be me, there will always be you. There will always be us. As long as the nights become cold, and the days wear short There will always be me, there will always be you. There will always be us. j As long as the world turns, and life goes on, 3 There will always be me, there will always be you. There will always be us. Q The Bird and the Elephant I by Scott Dubit 1 l One day near his home jungle, the gigantic ele- phant was walking along, shaking all the ground near him whenever he took a step. Up above was a graceful bird flying high above the elephant. The elephant wished that he could move so easily and lightly. The elephant moved slowly along shaking everything and making loud noises when the bird came down laugh- ing. He said to the elephant, Don't you wishithat you could fly like me, instead of shaking the whole jungle? I am the best flyer, said the bird. '4Everyone should envy me, the way that I ily so easily through the air, so fast, not disturbing anything in the air. I am beautiful. Just then, while bragging to I the elephant instead of watching where he was going, the bird hit a tree and fell to the earth dead. The elephant was now quite content with the way, he walked. , MORAL: Be content with what you are.

The Farmers and the Wolves by Hilary Einhorn Once there was a pack of wolves. This pack was very large and very strong. It always raided the farms nearby. One day the leader of the pack died. There was rivalry among the wolves about who should take the leader's place. The wolves separated into different factions. Because of this, they became weaker, and the farmers who couldn't kill them before, now started eliminating them. Soon there were no more wolves anywhere in the area.

Solitude A last, longing yearn for a lost friend. Solitude A room dark with only the beating of your heart to break the silence. Loneliness? - no, not being lonely, not wanting COIUPHHY, Solitude Being able to do something alone, to complete something successfully, and knowing that you deserve all the credit. No one made you, you made yourself. A wind blown hilltop, in the late autumn, bare, except for the dying grass, surrounded by trees. Sitting on that hilltop alone. Thinking quietly and calmly, out loud, or to yourself. This hill belonging only to you, and only you can share it with anyone Solitude .
