The Three Little Walruses and the Big Bad Polar Bear

By Madeline

Once upon a time in the freezing arctic there were three little walruses. One day the three little walrus decided to leave home. The youngest built his house out of seaweed. The second one built a house out of clams. The oldest built his house out of ice. The polar bears came to the first walrus' house he noticed. He said, "Little walrus, little walrus, let me in." "No! No! Not by the wiskers on my cheeky cheek cheeks!" Then the polar bear sliced the seaweed house into shreads. "Hey wait, wait, wait, there's no huff and puff deal, oh you got to be kidding me? The polar bear called his bigger brother in. "Hey want to go bowling?" "Sure okay." They bowled over the house. "Now and ever they call me Bowler Bear." When they came to the ice house they got so scared they swam to the surface and had a fear of water. The End

The Three Little Pigs

By James

Once there were three little pigs who lived in the country.  The first little pig was small and lazy. He lies on the couch all day.  The second pig was fat and not as lazy. He sits around and eats junk food all day. The third little pig was fat but a hard worker. He is out in the field picking strawberries all day long. One day they all decide to build their houses. The first little pig was building his house out of straw. The lazy pig threw his house together and did not take his time. The second little pig was building his house out sticks. It was a little better than the first pigs but it did look sturdy. The third little pig built his house out of bricks. He took his time to make it look like he wanted to make a fantastic house. The wolf came and tried to go in the first little pig's home. The wolf  easily blew down the house of straw and chased the pig to the second little pig's house. The wolf came and was dressed as a baby sheep. He tried to come in using a sheep voice. He said, "I am a poor littile sheep may I come in." He used his best sheepish vioce, but the pigs did not let him in. The wolf blew the house down but it was a bit harder. The two pigs dashed to the third pig's house and the wolf came dressed as a brush man, he was pretending to sell brushes. The third pig grabbed the brush and the wolf tried to grab the pigs through the locked door. Then the wolf went down the chimney and burnt his bum. He fell in a bioling pot of water. The pigs danced with joy. They lived happily ever after.
