Week 14 Story: Three Little Birds

Image
 There was once three little birds living in a forrest far away. The three birds had names which were: kind, most kind, and kind-less. The birds acted the same way their names described. One day during hunting season, most kind was flying around warning other birds to stay hidden and far away from the popular hunting forests. Kind would remind every bird that flew by that it was hunting season. Kind-less would fly to the other birds nests that evacuated and steal their seeds they were saving.  While most kind was patrolling, looking for any birds left, he saw kind-less flying from tree to tree stealing seeds with a big chunky belly. Most kind said, "Stop! What are you doing? Those birds will need their food when they return!" Kind-less ignored most kind and kept stealing seeds from other birds' nests. Kind-less was so self absorbed that he did not see the hunter aiming his rifle at him from under the trees. Most kind saw this and began to worry, "Oh no! Kind-less is ...

Week 13 Story: The 3 Princesses

Image
There was once a kingdom in a fairytale land with a kind king who cared for all he reigned over. He was happy with his wife who bore him a daughter, whom he adored. One day the queen got very sick, and the king told her that, "if she died, I would never be happy again." The queen replied, "you must remarry and have a motherly wife to replace me and take care of our daughter." The queen passed away that night, and no one in the castle had ever seen the king so upset. He broke every dish, glass, and mirror in the castle. He was so upset that his love died, but even more upset that her dying wish was to marry another woman. The next few days he met a few women to be his next wife. While the king did not want to remarry, he decided to marry the first woman he met because he knew he would not love any of them. The king and his new wife had one daughter, whom the king never loved and rarely even spoke to. Over the years the king became more upset, drinking more and more e...

Week 12 Story: The Goodest Boy!

Image
 There once was a dog who had an owner that loved him very much. The owner saved the dog when he was only a stray pup shivering on the streets alone. However, this wasn't any old man. He could turn anything he wanted into gold. But he never used his power, because he believed it was unfair. The old man took care of the dog until the day he died, and his favorite thing to do was play fetch with the dog. They played fetch every day, until the last day the old man lived. The man knew he was about to die, so he got a giant bucket of tennis balls. He turned these tennis balls into gold for the dog, which seemed unnecessary but he knew they would help the dog one day. After that the dog would try to play fetch with other people with his golden tennis balls, however every time he gave a ball to someone. They would get very excited and walk away. So the dog never brought his gold out to play with anyone.  One day the dog was walking around, and saw a young man taking care of a little ...

Mike's family never enjoyed a relaxing day at the beach, and instead climbed cliffs and went on week long camping trips in the mountains in sub-freezing temperatures.  Mike was closest with his sister, Emily, with whom he continued his adventures with even after the pass of their parents. Emily's favorite activity was riding bikes so Mike and Emily took many bike rides, even cross-state bike rides using only their bikes and tents to sleep in. On one of Mike's birthdays, Emily got him a black lab whom he named Bella. Bella became very loyal to Mike and accompanied him everywhere and waited at the door for him to come home every time he left, as good dogs do.  Since Emily got Mike such a fantastic birthday gift, he wanted to do something for her just as great. So Mike began planning a biking trip starting at the Eas...

Image
 There was once a pair of twin sisters who were complete opposites of one another. The first sister, Kalyn, was a lover of the world who wanted to spread happiness and help people love themselves. However, her sister Roxie did not share the same love. Roxie wished for everyone to envy her, she placed herself above everyone else.  The two sisters attended the same school, and it was time for fundraising week in which Kalyn was very involved. Roxie liked to think of herself as involved, but she mostly wanted pictures to post on her social media platforms to gain followers and more attention. This angered Kalyn, and since Kalyn was head of fundraising she avoided including Roxie in any of the plans.  These actions greatly upset Roxie, so she devised a plan to ruin all of Kalyn's plans and make it look like it was Kalyn's fault. Roxie decided to switch the meeting location for the fundraiser by sending a message from Kalyn's phone while she was sleeping. Roxie emailed all peo...
