Once there was a farm that had lots of animals. On this farm lived a chicken, cow and spider. They were all great friends and looked out for one another. Cow lived in a field, next to the chicken coop, where Chicken lived, and in the corner of that coop lived Spider, in his finely spun web. They loved it on the farm, until one day, Spider overheard the farmer talking about getting ready to slaughter Cow so he could sell beef to the market. Immediately, Spider told Chicken, who told Cow. They had to come up with a plan soon. The night before the farmer planned on butchering Cow, Spider came up with a plan to help his friend. He ventured out to the field where Cow lived, and told Cow to lay down and pretend to be dead. Then, he spun a web all around Cow, so that it looked like Cow had been dead for quite some time. When the farmer came out the next morning, he saw Cow, and said, “Oh no, Cow has died! I can’t butcher him now, his meat has spoiled and will no longer be good to eat. I’ll...

They were too short to reach it, and had no way of getting it down. Suddenly, a tall man wearing a #24 Laker’s jersey appeared, and saw the boys’ problem.

One day, Rambo, his cousin Lance, and his girlfriend Simone all set out to the tall grass beyond the territory of their ant hill. The ants said that what lay beyond the tall grass was mystery and danger. Backyard             While making their way through the tall grass, exploring, the trio of ants came to a clearing.

I’ll be back soon.” So Rambo wandered into the thicket until he came to a nearby sprinkler. He began pouring the water i...

Their food was beginning to disappear, and so did the size of their fluffle.              On the other side of the mountain, in a very large and thriving forest, lived an Eagle.
