How the frog got his wings

2009-08-25T11:40:00.003+12:00

A long time ago before humans lived there was a frog and some flies.

One day in a pond the frog wanted something to eat. So the frog went to see the fish who lived in the pond with the frog. The frog asked the fish " can I have something to eat"? The fish said "no!" you can not you robber"? So the frog said to the fish" I am going out to get something to eat". The frog went out to get something.

A few minutes later the frog found some flies in the air. The frog said" can I have something to eat"? The flies said "No you can not you robber! Now attack"!! The frog leaped quickly to escape from the flies but the flies caught up with the frog and surrounded him. The frog said" I am going to use my tongue to eat all of the flies up". The frog poked his tongue out and ate all the flies up. When he had eaten all of the flies up he started growing wings on his back. The frog started to fly up in the air. That's how the frog got his wings.

How the elephant got it's trunk.

2009-08-24T11:23:00.019+12:00

150 years ago live a group of elephants. There was a elephant called Lucy. One day Lucy was playing with her friends Milly the snake and Lilly the silly monkey.Then came a big group of elephants called mean.They are called mean because they are mean to other animals.Just then Lucy asked if they would like to play with them.

Right after Lucy asked they said NO in a big loud voice. Lucy was so sad she started walking away. She didn't know were she was. She was scary to scary to walk. Just then a crocodile jumped up and tried to eat Lucy.Then Lilly and Milly was there.So they helped her to get her trunk out of the crocodiles mouth.

Just then her trunk got longer and longer then her trunk was so long.She could even get leaves from a tall tree.Then the crocodile let go of the trunk and Lucy fell back and landed on her feet. Then she saw she had a trunk as long as a tree.when she came back the other elephant saw her how long Lucy trunk was.

Then the group that was mean came up and asked "How did you get your trunk so long?" Then she said that a crocodile grabbed my trunk and started pulling it. Then all the elephant tried it the next day. And that's how the elephants got their long trunks.

How the peacock got its feathers

2009-08-24T11:23:00.018+12:00

It was a sunny day in the rainforest. It was nearly covered in trees and every day was the same. It was breezy and boring in the rainforest. Every single bird teased peacock because he did not have at least one beautiful feather on his body. Peacock felt more and more miserable every day.

One day the peacock was walking around and saw a bird that was calling out that there was a contest tomorrow and the bird who had the best feathers wins and gets the trophy to take home. Suddenly a brilliant idea popped up in his head. He was going to try out for the contest.

The peacock searched around the rainforest looking for feathers that had fallen out of other bird's feathers. He searched in other bird's nests,the rainforest floor and asked other birds if he could have one of their feathers but that didn't quite work out for peacock.

Next day he had about twenty four feathers and glued then on with sticky gue. The peacock loved its feathers. The colours of the feathers were blue, green and a little bit of yellow. So the peacock brushed his feathers and headed off to the contest. Every one teased him at the contest but he had folded his feathers but when he opened his feathers every bird in the contest was surprised. The judges had a quick decision. The winner was..........PEACOCK!!!Peacock was so happy. He took his trophy home and had a celebration. From now on the peacock did not get teased and lived happily ever after.

How the scorpion got it's stinger and claws

2009-08-24T11:22:00.012+12:00

It was a sad day for spider in the desert because no one was scared of him. So he travelled up the tallest sand dune and called to the gods,"Please help me and make me scary". "Yes" replied the gods "But first you have to do these two tasks". "For the first task you have to cross the chasom of death and then for the second task you have to go to the far side of the desert of doom"."I will be waiting at the end". Said the god.

"For the chasom of death I might as well shoot a length of web across". Thought spider. So he shot a length of web across to the other side.

Next for the desert he decided to just run across and so he did. As the god had said he was waiting on the other side. "I see you have made it, so here are the gifts I promised". "a new name, 'Scorpion' and a stinger and claws. That is how the Scorpion got it's stinger and claws.

How the turtle got its shell

2009-08-24T11:22:00.011+12:00

Once upon a time, thousands of years ago in a world you would no longer know. Trees and flowers spread all over this fresh forest, green grass, purple and colourful trees, and in this paradise there lived lots of animals, tall animals, large animals, annoying animals and nice animals.

There was the loud lion, King of the jungle as proud as everything with his fierce firey roar! The giant giraffe with a nosey neck as tall as a sky scraper, a mighty elephant with and never tiny trunk. Pretty much every single animal had something precious to be proud of. Every animal eexcept one. That one was a shy lonely turtle.

The turtle had nothing, nothing at all. Just his own little cave, he was invisible to everyone even himself. Then one stormy day there was a fight in the jungle the animals were angry, there were people coming to hunt. The animals were terrified so they panicked and got angry.

Finally they were here, all the animals ran and ran, the turtle was confused and frightened so he creapt outside and right there was a big hairy scary man, he slowly bent down and held a giant net over turtle. Turtle ran and ran and hid under a large round checkerd bowl, the man followed but he couldn't find the turtle so he left. Turtle was saved, and from that day forward turtles from all round the globe wore shells for protection.

THE END.

How the Ant Got So Small.

2009-08-21T12:15:00.006+12:00

One day before time in a hot humid rain forest that had vines and trees and swamps everywhere,there lived the mighty Ants. Ants were 12 foot high and 10 foot long and they claimed to be the kings and queens of the animal world. Ants were colossal they were humongous,enormous and monstrous. No one ever,ever said anything to the Ants but they only said things like "Would you like some water or food leafs?" and "yes"
or "no".

One day in the fuzzy wuzzy rain forest all the humble animals had a meeting without the boastful Ants."We have called a meeting."stared Sloth "Because of the Ants."Immediately a ruckus began "Squash them!!"Elephant boomed."Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yesssssssssssss."said snake.

The plan was to begin the next night.No one slept,no one slept a wink they were to excited to sleep.The next morning the proud Ants were still asleep in their goose feather blankets.The word of the attack got round all last night and all animals were ready "In 3....2...1..SQUASH!!!!"shouted all the animals "Slosh Sreeeeeeeech AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! All the Ants yelled, yelled ,yelled, yelled and yelled untill they were as the size of peas so from that day on the Lion became King.

HOW THE FROG GOT IT'S WINGS

2009-08-21T12:03:00.009+12:00

In a dark, dark forest lived a very sad frog. The frog really wanted to be able to see the nice sunshine so he tried flying but it didn't work.

So the frog went hopping until he found some very big leaves to make wings out of. Then he went off with the leaves to find some honey. After awhile he found some honey then he put the honey on the very big leaves and put them on himself then he tried flying but still he didn't fly. Then he gave up.

So he carried on down the forest path until he found his dead frog brother then he saw some flies eating his dead frog brother so the frog thought to himself "I must get revenge on the flies, so he ate them all alive. But then the flies started eating him from the inside. Then the frog jumped into a creek and drowned the flies.

After two years the wings of the flies connected into the frogs body so now the frog can fly with the wings.

How the lions became kings of the jungle

2009-08-21T11:38:00.008+12:00

A long time ago there was a lion and his pack. No one liked the lions because they ate all the other animals for meat.

One day the lions heard screeching and screaming and saw a stampede heading their way. Behind the animals the lions saw a giant bush fire.

Glass had magnified the sun on the ground and started a fire. Quickly the leader of the pack ran forward and said "Get close to the fire and we can all roar at once and blow out the fire. So all the lions did and it worked. All the other animals were really happy and made them all king and queen of the jungle. And they all lived happily ever after.

How The Lobster got it's Claws

2009-08-21T11:37:00.003+12:00

Long ago deep, deep down in the ocean there lived a Lobster King and his city of Lobsters. Their homes were little caves with seaweed around the outside.

The one day a Lobster went up to the highest hill in the ocean and asked the gods if he could have some claws and they replied "No". So the Lobster went away disappointed.

Later that day when the Lobster was walking home when he heard "Help! Help!" It was the Lobster King he was getting captured by a SCUBA diver and the Lobster was the only person who could save him. So The Lobster went up to the SCUBA diver and started flapping his tail at the diver but it was no use the SCUBA diver just kept swimming to the surface. Then the Lobster went up to the SCUBA divers face and started to flap his tail and the SCUBA diver accidentally let go of the Lobster King.

Later that day the Lobster went up to the highest hill again and asked the gods if he could have some claws and they replied "Yes you can because you saved your king".
So that's how the Lobster got its claws.
