The Mouse and the Lion
There was once a lion that was very clever because he could sneeze when he wanted to!
One day the lion came across a mouse. He sneezed all over him, blowing him across the jungle. A few days later the mouse heard an animal in great distress. He walked towards the noise. It was the lion who sneezed all over him, caught in a hunters net. “Go away,” the lion said “You can’t help me, you’re too small.” Even so the mouse started chewing through the ropes. In a few minutes the lion was free. “I’m sorry for sneezing on you,” said the lion “and I am sorry for saying you were too small to help me. You are much cleverer then me.” “That’s OK, let’s be friends.” Said the mouse.
The moral is don’t judge a book by its cover.
The Crocodile and the Mouse

so he is on the ball when he spies food. Suddenly the crocodile spotted the animals at the edge of the river bank. He shouted to the to go across to the other side because, there was alot more juicy green grass on the other bank.

After the crocodile saw a little mouse on the same bank as he was on before. The crocodile asked the mouse “why have you not crossed the river”.

The snow and the sun
One day the snow and the sun were arguing so they had a contest to decide who was the strongest.
They had to persuade the mole to come out of his hole. The judge was Fox because if the mole put his nose out of the hole.
The contest started the sun wanted the snow to go first. “Oh why thank you for letting me go first,” said the snow. “Oh that’s fine I always like a great competitor,” said the sun “let the contest begin” said fox. Snow tried his hardest to get the mole out of its hole all he did was fill the hole in and got mole stuck inside his hole. So you can snow didn’t persuade mole out of his hole.
So sun rose to the challenge to persuade mole to come out of his hole. The sun started to warm his self up and got hotter and hotter until he was boiling hot and it started melt the snow inside the moles hole. The got so hot he had to climb out of his to just sun bathe in the sun so in the end the sun won.
The moral of the story is persuasion is better than force.

The Hare on his Birthday
It was the boastful Hare’s birthday. He was ful of exitement, he was so boastful yesterday he told everyone in the woods that for his birthday he was going to get fifty pounds. He expected that when he wakes up he would have a neat pile of large colourful letters next to him he also expected five pounds in each letter if not more.
Suddenly he woke up and realised that it was his birthday, and there was the big pile of ten brown letters and right at the bottom there was a small white letter at the bottom he felt that something was wrong then he wondered where was his beautiful colourful letters were. Then he realised that it might mean that the bigger the letter the more money inside. Then quickly he decided exacly what he was going to do, like a light bulb suddenly swiched on. He headed straight to the woods to the to the shops where crafty Mr. Fox had a bagful of fresh carrots waiting to be sold. Luckily he got there before Rabbit he looked at price lable, it was ten pounds, he thought its my birthday I can easily afford that, so he bought the big bagful of jucy, sweet carrots for ten pounds.
He got home to his little grass house. He was going to wait until the sun goes down and the stars have woken up sparkling, like silver shimmering glitter had beeen spilt on a plain black piece of paper to open his letters. But then the teptation was to much for him to handle. He couldn’t resist the big brown letters in front of him just sitting there like a big hamburger, lost as if no one was going to eat him. So he sat down on his favourite patch of grass took a bite of one his fresh new carrots and opened the first letter he opened it and instantly his jaw dropped wide open, he couldn’t speak, his carrot even dropped out of his mouth from the sudden shock. He opened the next one the same happend again. It kept happening, all the time he opened a letter it was a bill of hundred pounds or more. But there was still one more to open, it was a little white envelope with money written all over it in big, bold, black, chunky letters. He opened it and wondered why it wasn’t sealed. The imediently he remembered that he had put all his money in that envelope and had and spent it all on carrots.

The Crocodile and the Mouse
One hot sunny day, a hugry, famished crocodile glided smoothly down the long, wide river. Which was next to the lush green rain forest that was full of beautiful, colourful flowers. It also had a huge population of water buffalo, pink tailed mice, big horned sheep and zebras, giraffes and african elephants.
The awfully hungry crocodile usually gets pretty sneaky when he is hungry,
so he is on the ball when he spies at least a little bit of food. Suddenly the crocodile spotted the animals at the edge of the small river bank. He shouted loudly to the to go across to the other side because, there was alot more juicy green grass on the other bank.
So when all of the animals heard the sneaky crocodile all of the animals followed the buffalo’s who were the bravest animals, and swam through the muddy river. After, the crocodile saw a little mouse on the same short bank as he was on before. The crocodile asked the mouse “why have you not crossed the wide river”. The mouse cleverly replied,” because none of the other animals came out of the river.

The Horse and the Donkey
One fine day there was a horse and donkey, who were cantering around the field and the horse stopped and noticed that all the jockey’s were bringing the horses out of the stables and were taking them down the race track. Just then the horses jockey walked through the gate and the horse trotted over. The donkey noticed that the horse was going to the race track and trotted over to see if he could race with him. But the horse shouted “No I know what your thinking” and walked off with his owner on to the yard. The owner put him in the stable and walked back to the field and had another head collar and called for the donkey. The horse put his head out the door in surprise. So the donkey trotted over and the owner took him to the yard and tacked up him and the horse. They were on the way to the race track. But the horse was not happy with the idea and so made up a little plan to beat him and prove him
right.
When the horses and donkey were ready they walked into the gate’s to start the race. And when the horn went the horses gulped of but the donkey started in canter. After a wile the horse got tired and started to canter then trot and so the donkey picked up speed and won the race. The horse was so angry at the donkey he all most bucked and reared but he had a think about it and knew that there would be other races and walked over to congratulate him.
Moral of the story is: Slow and steady wins the race.
