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 pot of gold

By: Pratya
Three words: mermaid, rainbow, banana
Word-giver: Lavanya Aunty from Singapore
Date: 11, Nov, 2009

There once lived a mermaid named Kaylie. She lived in the Indian ocean near India. She was always kindhearted to everyone. One day when she was swimming in the ocean, she got very tired because it was night and very dark. She wished that it was not dark and she imagined that there was a big rainbow around her. But no rainbow came (of course!).

Then Kaylie swam ashore. A wise monkey sitting by the shore read her mind. He was holding a banana. He broke into half and gave one piece to Kaylie who tried to catch it. But suddenly the banana tried into a pot of gold and Kaylie was astonished! Then a rainbow appeared from the pot. An Apple came from the red part of the rainbow, an orange from the orange part, a banana came from the yellow part, a Kiwi fruit came from the green part, a blueberry came from the blue part, grapes came from the indigo part, and finally a pomegranate came from the violet part. Kaylie ate half of each fruit and gave the rest to her friends. She and her friends enjoyed the picnic.

A selfish fish passed by. It stopped when it saw the mermaids having a picnic. It sneaked to the pot of Gold near the rainbow and picked it up. The mermaids knew that the fish stole their pot of Gold. They swam to it and took the Gold right back and lived happily ever after.


THE END

Problem: The mermaid did not like dark.
Solution: The monkey gave her a rainbow and a pot of gold.
Moral: Magic can happen.
