There was once a girl named Susie. She lived in Africa. She had a small baby tiger cub as a pet. As days passed by, the cub grew up into a handsome tiger. Susie's mom told her that she had to return the tiger to the forest. "Aww" cried Susie. But she obeyed her mom and went to the forest. She left the tiger there and went back home.

The tiger also started to miss Susie. But he made many nice friends because Susie had taught him how to be nice. His best friend was Flora, a chimpanzee. Every day, both of them would play happily. One fine day, Flora fell into the river. All the animals crowded around discussing what to do to save her. Then, suddenly, the tiger raised his hands. He whispered in their ears. They made a big rod and finally pulled Flora out. The first thing she asked was, "did King Wenacles the Lion save me?" "No" said the animals, "the tiger did". The chimpanzee hugged the tiger.

The next day came. As the tiger was playing, an evil crazy monkey said "hmm I want to eat that tiger". He started chasing the tiger around. The tiger roared for help. Luckily Flora saw the danger and took the monkey and threw him away. The tiger said to himself "my best friend!". As for the monkey, he sat with his hands on his hips.

But, the tiger still missed his owner Susie.

THE END
Problem: The chimpanzee fell in the water
Solution: The tiger helped her and then the chimpanzee helped him
Moral: If you help someone, they will help you

There was once a boy named Jyotish. He lived in Singapore. He always wanted a pet. He had to keep on asking his parents for one. But it was no good. His parents told him "if you are good, you will get a pet". Days and days passed and Jyotish behaved his best. One day his parents had a surprise for Jyotish. They were holding a Chimpanzee, Antelope, and a Snail! Jyotish screamed with joy "Yippee!" He grabbed the chimp and hugged it. Then he stared at the snail and antelope. He hugged them carefully. He tried to hold the antelope but it kept on slipping from his hand. Then finally he got it.

Soon, days passed by and the chimp grew bigger and bigger until he was as big as Hanuman! Jyotish was surprised. He took his animals and went to the forest to play. A lot of people gathered around them. They said, "let the antelope and the snail have a race". The antelope started teasing the snail.

Before the race, the chimp (Hanuman) told the snail a trick. He took the snail up and put it on a skate. Then the race began. The antelope started running fast. The people cheered for it. Then the chimp gave the snail a little push with his hand. The skate went Zoooom and hit the finishing line. Wow, a surprise finish! The snail won!! The antelope learned his lesson not to show-off!
