The Three Little Chickens and the Big Bad Fox

By Oscar
6th grade

Once upon a time there was a fox that was making a cupcake. The
fox had the flu and he sneezed so bad that the cream went flying
all around his house. So he went to his neighbor’s muddy coop to
ask him if he had some cream for his cupcake. So the fox knocked
on the chicken’s coop. The fox asked, “Little chicken are you in?”
There was no answer and the fox didn’t want to walk in someone’s
coop just like that. The fox felt his flu coming on. The fox tried to
stop the sneeze but he couldn’t so he sneezed a great sneeze. The
house exploded so bad that the fox saw the chicken go flying up
to space and coming down on fire. The fox saw the chicken dead
like a worm in the sun. So the fox ate the chicken. The fox went
walking to his neighbor’s grassy coop and the fox said, “Little
chicken little chicken are you in?” The chicken said,” Go away
because I am grooming my feathers.” The fox felt a sneeze. The
fox tried to stop the sneeze but he couldn’t so he sneezed another
great sneeze and he blew up the house. The fox saw the chicken
dead on the ground. So the fox ate the chicken. The fox was still
hungry but he didn’t have his cream for his cupcake. So he went
to his third neighbor’s coop and his neighbor’s coop was made out
of bricks. So the fox called, “Little chicken little are you in your
coop?” the chicken said, “Go away!” The fox said, “I am hungry
and I have been going house to house asking if I could have some
cream.” The chicken said, “Well you can sit on a pin!” The fox felt
a sneeze, so he sneezed and sneezed so bad but the house didn’t
fall down. So the police came and said to the fox, “what’s going on
here? The fox said, “The chicken won’t let me barrow some cream
for my cupcake. “The police said, “You’re going to jail. “ The fox
started to cry like a baby. So he went to jail for ever and later they
reported two missing chickens.

Rabbitlocks and the three Rabbits
By Allison
6th grade

Once upon a time there were three rabbits that lived in a
cozy hole in a neighborhood. There was a great big Papa
Rabbit, a medium-sized Mama Rabbit, and a teeny tiny
Baby Rabbit. They each had oatmeal. The great big bowl
was for Papa Rabbit, the Mama Rabbit, had the medium-
sized bowl and Baby Rabbit had the teeny tiny bow. Mama
Rabbit said, “The oatmeal burned again”!!! She said, “Let’s
eat out!”Baby Rabbit said “yes, I want a soft taco, bean dip
and a McCarrot. So the three decided to eat out for
breakfast. Off they sped in their van. Meanwhile, a little
rabbit named Rabbitlocks came bouncing hall down the
neighborhood path. The ball fell into a rabbit hole and she
peered down the hole, but she couldn’t see her ball. She
went wandering off in the kitchen of the three rabbits;
Rabbitlocks found the three bowls a big bowl, medium-
sized bowl, and a teeny tiny bowl. Rabbitlocks tasted the
oatmeal in the great big bowl. It was to carroty. She tried
the second one but it was too grassy. The third was just
right she said, “Mmm! burnt cinnamon raisin. My favorite.
She gobbled it all up. In the living room Rabbitlocks saw
three chairs one was big, medium, and a teeny tiny chair.
The big chair was too hard to figure out. So she hopped
into the medium-sized chair but was too wobbly. The teeny
tiny chair was just right, until….she broke it. Then
Rabbitlocks decided to go up stairs. Upstairs, Rabbitlocks
found three beds, a great big bed, a medium-sized bed, and
a teeny tiny bed. First she tried the great big waterbed. It
was too hard to keep her breakfast down next Rabbitlocks
tried the medium-sized bed. It was way too soft. Finally she
tried the teeny tiny bed. It was just right. Soon Rabbitlocks
went fast to sleep. Meanwhile the Rabbits came home.
They saw that their oatmeal was all gone. Papas bowl was
gone, Mamas bowl was gone, and the teeny tiny baby’s
bowl was gone, and he said, yay!!!! My disgusting burnt
oatmeal is gone. Papa Rabbit called the duckpolice. When
they came, they checked the kitchen but they didn’t find
anything, next the checked the living room, under the
couch, under the TV, but dint find anything, finally they
went up-stairs, and undercover investigation of the beds
reveled more. They saw Rabbitlocks sleeping. The police
said, “Is her name Sleeping Beutylocks” NO!!!!!!!!!!! My
name is name is Rabbitlocks, The police said, Ok ok your
coming down with us. No no please I am really really sorry
I’ll clean everything and I will not do this again. Ok but if
you do this again you will go down with us. Ok and
Rabbitlocks left hopping out and was never to be seen
again. And they lived happily ever after…………..

The Three Little Hens and the Big Bad Wolf
By Nabaa
6th grade

Once upon a time on a farm there were three little hens and a wolf. One hen built a
feather nest, the second hen built a straw nest, and the third one built a stick nest.
There was a bad wolf. He was really hungry and he saw the farm where the three little
hens lived. He saw a hen sleeping, so he walked to the hen and the hen woke up and saw
the wolf. The wolf blew the nest in. The hen tried to fly away but the wolf opened his
mouth and he ate the hen. The wolf was still hungry so he saw another hen so he said, “I
can eat the hen because I am still hungry.” The hen was taking a shower so he blew on
the nest and the hen tried to fly away but the wolf opened his mouth and he ate the hen!
The wolf was still hungry and so he found another nest. He wanted to eat the hen so the
wolf blew the nest but the nest did not fly up. The wolf was really tired and he died from
trying to blow the nest down. So the hen opened his stomach and he got his sister out of
the wolf’s stomach and they lived happily ever after.
