Small Chances

One day a man who was very hungry and tired was walking to the North Pole to the South Pole. Finally he got very tired so he sat down to rest on a rock. Suddenly, a bird hit a nearby tree and fell down, dead. Feeling blessed, he spoke a thanks to the Viking gods (he was a Viking) and sat down to eat the bird. “I will stay here and live on birds that hit trees,” he said. So he waited and waited for a bird to hit that tree. He waited until he was a million years old, and then died. His gravestone said: “I’m waiting”. Moral: never depend on a small chance. (Example: Don’t buy lottery tickets with your money).

The Broken Rubik’s Cube

One day George lost his Rubik’s cube. He was walking around with it in on a Saturday afternoon when he met a small boy. In a small voice he asked “can I hold it?” George, being extremely nice, handed the colorful cube to the boy.

“Bang!” The Rubik’s cube dropped from the child’s hands to the hard concrete ground, breaking it into pieces. Even though the kid helped pick up the pieces, George still felt unimaginably mad. But he kept a straight face and received the incoming fragments from the boy. George was very angry not just because the child didn’t say sorry and just walked away, but also because the cube had cost him ten dollars of school money.

Afterwards George told his dad about the boy. “There is nothing we can do about it now, Son. The boy’s family had moved away.”

“He probably thought he could break anything he wanted to because he was moving away.” George said.

George still remembers the incident to this day.

The End

The Lion Story

An ancient curse says that no lion of any particular breed could claim the title of the King of the forest until it ate something naughtier than itself. This breed of lion was very naughty. They were covered with warts and were very slimy. You could think that eventually the lion would become the King of the forest. Not in this story. The naughty lions vanished within a decade. And to this day none of them has ever been spotted.

A Monkey in a Tree

Jake the Monkey was happily jumping around in the rainforest trees when he noticed that he was hungry. He knew that somewhere in the forest there was a magic banana that would make him not hungry. One, two, three, four, five bananas he ate. But he still was not full. Because he still wasn’t full, so he continued his eating until he ate the 9th banana. Then, he finally found the magic banana and ate it. I should have eaten that one first! He thought.

A Fierce Dragon Breathing Fire

One day a dragon was sitting in a shop corner and a person screamed because of it. Everybody was running away yelling “Run away! It’s a dragon!” They all got on an airplane and flew away except for a poor business man who got burned up because the air force was dropping bombs on the shop to get rid of the dragon. Unfortunately, nobody realized that the shop was a piñata shop and the dragon was a piñata so they wasted money on airplane tickets and bombs. Everyone is now hiding in Antarctica shivering from the cold just because of one little scream and one little misconception.

The Snail Story

A mad scientist has accidentally dropped a potion that makes you gigantic and evil. A nice and pretty snail ate it. Now it is big, strong, and plotting to destroy mankind! It crashes through buildings and romps through houses.*

“This is worse than World War II!” a reporter quotes. What will we do now!!?

*Miraculously nobody got hurt.

My Birthday

Today's my birthday and I'll be nine
The party's wild and gifts are mine

Floating boat and racing car
Who got wet and who got far

Mini-golf and laser gun
How lucky I am. It's a hole in one

Arcade games they are there
All the tickets we will share

I got wet but that's OK
I had fun in my day

At last came the greatest sight
my birthday cake, it looks just right

All nine candles, here I blow
The relight candles, they wouldn't go

Another year I will wait
until I see my birthday cake
