Stinky Skunk and Cleanly Cat
By Mrs. Rice and Mrs. Cordova
It was a warm summer night in
Platte City. Cleanly Cat finished licking
her furry paws clean when a sudden
surge of loneliness hit. Being proactive
Cleanly Cat messaged Stinky Skunk on
her Dell computer, inviting Stinky Skunk
over for an exciting sleep over.
As soon as Stinky Skunk arrived,
she threw her overnight bag down on the garage floor and rushed out the
door to play with cleanly Cat. The first game the two girls played was
tag…and man were they sweaty! Then, the two friends jumped on the
trampoline, playing games like crack the egg. Finally, the hot sweaty girls
dug in the flower garden where the dirt clung to them like glue.
Just as Stinky Skunk and Cleanly Cat were finishing in the dirt, hot,
delicious pizza arrived. The girls darted into the garage where they washed
their paws. Cleanly Cat’s nose started to twitch at an obnoxious odor.
Worried the stench was coming from her, Cleanly Cat quickly cleaned her
whole body. She even applied deodorant for good measure making sure she
smelled as sweet as a flower. But the smell was still there.
Cleanly Cat followed her nose to …Stinky Skunk, who was digging into
the pizza while noxious fumes rose from her body. Ever so politely, Cleanly
Cat said, “Stinky, I can still smell you. Would you like to use my shower to
freshen up?” Stinky said, “No, I am just going to keep eating.” Stinky Skunk
and Cleanly Cat then argued about Stinky Skunk’s need of a shower.
Finally, the smell had overcome the entire garage and Cleanly Cat was
too nauseous to take anymore. Cleanly Cat called Mrs. Rice and demanded
she pick Stinky Skunk up. Furious, Mrs. Rice picked Stinky Skunk up and took
her home. Cleanly Cat freshened up her garage thinking
The moral of this story is: People don’t like you so well when you start
to smell.
The Fox Brothers and the
Rabbit Sisters
By: Hannah and Triton
One hot, hot day in the
Rapid Desert there were two
soft rabbit sisters. Their nice
names were Hopper and
Happy. Hopper and Happy
were playing tag and they were
so bashful and sweet together.
A mysterious fox named Sly asked the White sisters to
dinner. The cute sisters were happy to go and replied yes.
When the fuzzy sisters got to the scary fox’s house, Sly started
telling one sister she was faster and one sister she was prettier.
This was a big problem because they both wanted to be better
than the other sister. They started to argue but… Hopper and
Happy worked out their problem and decided they were both
the same. Yay!
Since sneaky Sly tricked kind Hopper and Happy, Hopper
and Happy invited the mean fox brothers over for a delicious
dinner. Hopper and
Happy told the horrible
fox brothers that Sly was
way more vicious and
tough than his brother.
Sly’s rude brother did
not like that at all! Sly
and his brother started
fighting like two
professional boxers! The
nasty foxes fought their
way out the door. The
sweet and cuddly sisters
never ever got near evil
Sly and his brother again.
Moral: Treat your friends the way you want to be treated.
Funny Monkey and Yellow
Banana
By: Morgan and Robbie
It was late afternoon in the
jungle. Rude Lion was in his dark
den sleeping deeply. Funny
Monkey was playing with her toy
banana… a little too close to Rude
Lion’s den. Funny Monkey accidently threw the banana into
Lion’s den. Funny Monkey found Helping Mouse by the den
and asked for help. Helping Mouse said he would help get the
yellow banana.
In Rude Lion’s den there were many rocks and bones.
Helping Mouse snuck in Rude Lion’s den. She saw yellow
banana and Rude Lion was coming around the corner. Rude
Lion got Helping Mouse and kept him in his den corner.
Helping Mouse found a hole and hid in it. When Rude Lion
was hunting, Funny Monkey snuck in Rude Lion’s den. Helping
Mouse got the yellow banana
and ran off to home with Funny
Monkey. Funny Monkey and
Helping Mouse never played by
Rude Lion’s den again. They kept
their toy banana safe with Funny
Monkey and away from all the
dangerous places.
Moral: Don’t get close to danger or else a problem will
happen.
Weird Wolf and Poisonous
Snake
By: Konner and Breanna
One hot day in the forest,
there lived a Weird Wolf. He
spotted a colorful Poisonous
Snake slithering across the
grassy ground. Weird Wolf
asked if Snake wanted to play at Wolf’s house.
The next day Poisonous Snake came over to Weird
Wolf’s to play. Suddenly, Weird Wolf felt a pain in his leg
because the snake bit him. The snake was very
poisonous and tricky.
Weird Wolf suffered for many days. Days went on
and the poisonous bite got greenish purplish. As the
days went on… the poisonous bite got worse.
Weird Wolf was
sleeping. Weird Wolf’s
mother tried to wake him up.
She found out he died of a
poisonous snake bite. The
mom had a funeral for her
son. Poisonous Snake
laughed then slithered on.
Mama Wolf got mad, but she
knew something important
that her son didn’t know…
Moral: Be careful and don’t get close to danger.
The Cuddly Hedgehog and
Caring Koala
By: Liberty and Grant
It was a warm, sunny day in
the in the green rainforest. At noon
Cuddly Hedgehog and a Caring
Koala were playing high up in the
trees. Cuddly and Caring were the
best of friends. They had an arch
enemy. The Wolf. A Gigantic Wolf. They hated the Cruel, Gigantic
Wolf because he was a big, bad bully.
The Gigantic Wolf always tried to trick Cuddly and Caring
Koala by acting and faking that he was a nice guy. He also lies.
Cuddly and Caring Koala knew he was a prankster, a liar.
Cuddly and Caring Koala told the Wolf the truth – which he
was a mean Gigantic Wolf. They said you are just faking that you
are nice. The Gigantic Wolf said he wanted to have some friends.
He really wanted to be their friends. How about being my new best
friends? said the Wolf.
Finally, Wolf said he was sorry
for all the pranks and lies in the
past. Caring Koala & Cuddly
decided to give Wolf another
chance at being friends. Gigantic
Wolf had changed his mean and
tricky ways. So no more lies for the
Wolf. They all became the best of
friends … playing and enjoying
each other.
Moral: People will discover your lies sooner or later. So be honest.
Stinky and Fox’s Problem
By: Kris and Molly
It was a summerish fall day
in the Kansas City woods when a
warm wind went past. Stinky
Skunk and Playful Fox were
playing an exciting basketball
game.
Stinky Skunk and Playful Fox were cheering and clapping
for each other. Both cheered and clapped every time Stinky
Skunk or Playful Fox made a shot. The game was really
spectacular until…
Playful Fox missed his shot. He shot a different way.
Playful Fox’s face was as red as a tomato. Stinky Skunk said,
“Are you okay?” Stinky Skunk’s face was as white as snow.
Playful Fox said, “What’s the matter with you? You made
me mess up.” Playful Fox’s face was as red as lava.
Stinky Skunk said, “I didn’t
do anything. In fact, I’m ten feet
away from you.”
Playful Fox and Stinky
Skunk kept arguing over and
over again. Stinky Skunk and
Playful Fox stopped arguing only
because they were no longer
friends.
Moral: It is better to recognize our own defects than to put the
blame on others.
Playtime in the Park
By Bethany and Jon
One windy, sunny day at
Happy Hamster’s house, he decided
to play at Platte City Park. Happy
Hamster had nobody in his way to
slide on the red, shiny slide. Happy
Hamster was crawling on his way.
When Happy Hamster got there he was amazed and jumped
on the red, shiny slide. Happy Hamster was sliding down the long
slide.
Ten minutes later Protective Dog showed up and Protective
Dog wanted to slide on the red, shiny slide. Happy Hamster said,
“There is only one red, shiny slide, so go away!” Protective Dog
played on the smelly blue slide and it was not fun. Protective Dog
came over to the red, shiny slide again.
“Don’t be selfish,” said Protective Dog. Happy Hamster
became a mad hamster. Mad Hamster grouched, “I’m not selfish!”
Happy Hamster and Protective Dog were fighting for twenty
minutes until Protective Dog said,
“You’re going to be my dinner!”
“Then … you go
f…f...f...f..first,” said Scared
Hamster. “Thank you so much!”
said Protective dog. Then
Protective Dog said, “You’re not my
dinner,” and they took turns. Then
they became very amazing friends.
The moral of the story is: When you share instead of being selfish,
you come out ahead.
The Gorilla That Ate Too Much
Food
By: Andreas and Brett
One humid summer afternoon,
Playful Grizzly Bear wanted to play.
So he went to Kind Gorilla’s house
to see if he wanted to play on the most wild monkey bars.
Kind Gorilla heard the doorbell. Kind Gorilla trotted to see
who was at the door. It was Playful Grizzly Bear. Playful Grizzly
wanted to have some fun. “I’m too hungry,” said Kind Gorilla,
“maybe later.” Playful Grizzly walked off sadly.
Playful Grizzly Bear went to his other friends and they all
went to the sunny, humid park. Kind Gorilla sat on the couch
and ate five whole pepperoni pizzas. He watched TV. His
tongue was on fire and he had a horrible stomach ache. Kind
Gorilla knew he had made a bad choice.
Kind Gorilla looked out the window and saw the active kids
playing at the Platte City Park. When he saw the healthy kids
playing at the park, he felt
horrible about what he had
done. Kind Gorilla went to
Mom and told her what he had
done. Mom’s advice was to be
more active and don’t eat five
pepperoni pizzas! The next
day… Kind Gorilla went out and
apologized to Playful Grizzly
Bear.
Moral: Eating too much food will always give you a stomach
ache. Kids should be active.
The Darling Dolphin and the
Electric Eel
By: Cole and Kobe
Once upon a time there was a Darling
Dolphin and an Electric Eel. They lived
in the Beautiful Pacific Ocean. They
were great friends. They always played
together and wrestled around. They
loved to play and swim. Eel had a
secret. He told Darling that he had lost his electricity.
One fine day the Electric Eel and Darling were frolicking around, as
they often do. Electric Eel discovered that when Darling would touch
his fins onto Eels skin, Dolphin would get shocked. Ouch!
Ouch! It happened again. This time Electric Eel touched Dolphin’s
Stomach. Guess what? He was shocked! Wow, the electric waves were
rushing through his body . But you told me you had lost your
electricity. Said Darling Dolphin. You are not telling the truth. I can’t be
friends with you anymore. So Darling Dolphin swam away.
Electric Eel kept on shocking new
friends that he made. He did not have
friends for very long. Because they
figured out he liked to lie and play
tricks. He kept lying and shocking his
new buddies.
Finally, the Eel realized that he had lost
more friends from zapping them.
Nobody trusted Eel anymore. He really
missed his friend Darling Dolphin.
Moral: No one will believe you when you are a liar. It is better to speak
the truth.
Cuddly Panda Bear and Funny
Monkey
By Paige and Morgan M.
Once upon a starry night, there
was a cuddly Panda Bear and a funny
Monkey. They had not met yet…but,
they will soon.

Monkey met at Central Forest Park in the middle of summer. Cuddly
Panda Bear asked if Funny Monkey wanted to play in the Jungle Gym
Fort at Central Forest Park.
“Let’s go get banana smoothies, then we can play,” says Funny
Monkey. Funny Monkey bought himself an ice cold banana smoothie.
Monkey finished his banana smoothie from Paradise Ice. Cuddly Panda
bear didn’t get a drink. Then, Cuddly Panda Bear got tired of waiting.
Cuddly Panda Bear asked if they could play. “NO!” said Funny
Monkey. “Why?” Cuddly Panda Bear asked. “When I was drinking my
banana smoothie, I wanted
someone to talk to. You talked to
me, now I don’t want to play.”
“I’ve been waiting this whole time
for you to play though” said
Cuddly Panda Bear.
Then, a few weeks later,
Monkey said, “I’m bored.” Funny
Monkey asked if Cuddly Panda
Bear wanted to play. Cuddly
Panda Bear wanted to play.
Cuddly Panda Bear said, “No, you
didn’t want to play with me.”

for you, be sure that you are willing to do the same.

Porcupine
By: Jacklyn & Caitlin
It was a warm, sunny
day at Platte Ridge Park. A
stinky, smelly, skunk went out
to play “jump up high in the
sky.”

noise as she was jumping up high, higher and higher into
the sky! Mr. Porcupine said, “You be quiet!” “No! I will not

Porcupine
Then Mr. Porcupine said,
“If you don’t stop it I will call
your mom. She will come and
take you home. You will be in
so much trouble!” “I will not
make any more noise under
your window,” said that
Stinky, Smelly Skunk. “Thank
you. I am glad I did not have
to call your mom and I can go
back to sleep,” answered Mr.

come out ahead.
Speedy Cheetah and Spotty
Leopard
By: Carson and Eli
It was a warm summer day in
South Africa, when Spotty Leopard
was going to play with crazy, high
swinging monkeys. He thought
these monkeys would play normally
with him. When Spotty Leopard
started to play with the high
swinging monkeys, he realized that
the high swinging monkeys were
too quick for Spotty Leopard. Then the high swinging monkeys started to
throw juicy mangoes at Spotty Leopard. The high swinging monkeys
laughed their heads off! The monkeys laughed so hard they splashed
freezing cold water in Spotty Leopard’s face.
Spotty Leopard ran across the plains in South Africa. Then Spotty
Leopard ran into a Speedy Cheetah. Speedy Cheetah said, “Hey watch it!”
Spotty Leopard said, “Are you okay?”
Next, Speedy Cheetah said, “What are your best abilities?”
Spotty Leopard said, “I can play tag, chase and run.”
Speedy Cheetah said, “I can do those activities too.”
Then when Spotty Leopard heard what Speedy Cheetah said, Spotty
Leopard said, “Why don’t we be
friends since we have the same
abilities?”
Speedy Cheetah said,
“Sure. Let’s be friends.”
Every day they would play
tag, run, and chase… but they
would play chase most of the
time. They lived happily ever
after in South Africa and stayed
away from crazy monkeys.
Moral: Play with those who have your abilities.
Panda and Grizzly
By Elis and Brock
In the hot summer
on a misty day in a
messy bamboo forest,
there was a cute panda
calling his cousin Mr.
Grizzly over for a delicious dinner.
Cute Mr. Panda was excited for Cousin Mr.
Grizzly to come over for an awesome dinner. Then,
Mr. Panda forgot that he didn’t have anything
ready. He chopped down some messy bamboo and
cooked it.
Grizzly did come for a delicious dinner, but Mr.
Panda only made stewed bamboo. Mr. Grizzly got
mad and left. Mr.
Panda got super
lonely.
Grizzly said in his
head, “I should ask
Mr. Panda to make
bumpy bamboo and
slimy fish.”
The moral of the story is: Look before you leap.
Hungry Lion and the Hard
Hermit Crabs
By Arianna and Madison
Once in an enormous forest,
there lived a hungry lion. By the
forest there was a sandy beach full
of hundreds of tiny hermit crabs.
The hungry lion decided to
gurgitate them.
The Hungry Lion was overjoyed if he found any tasty, hard
hermit crabs. He would tear them out of their shells and gurgitate
them. “Mmmmm…tasty!” Lion would say. “It was delicious,” he
thundered. “I will eat every hermit crab I can find”.
The next day he found one thousand hermit crabs. He forgot
to munch on them the day before, so he started munching and
crunching on every single hermit crab. The next day, he decided to
gobble up three thousand hermit crabs!!!!
After a while Hungry Lion
started groaning and moaning. He
had a stomach ache. Just then a
couple of teenie hermit crabs came
by…
He did not eat the hard hermit
crabs. Instead, he lay moaning and
groaning on the floor. “This is the
worst stomach ache in the world,”
he groaned. “I shouldn’t have
eaten all those teenie, tiny hermit crabs. I’m going to go to bed”.
The moral of the story is: Eating too much will always give
you a stomach ache.
Skunk and Fox
By: Aidan and Nathan
It was a dark afternoon in
Fox’s damp, wet cave. Fox was out
of fish to devour, but this fox was
no ordinary fox… he was a
Ferocious Fox (and lean!)
Ferocious Fox decided to trot
along the astonishing world of trees
and plants. He wandered for hours; not a molecule of food was left for
Ferocious Fox… but then, in the bushes was a Smelly Skunk who was
plump and fat full of food. Ferocious Fox’s mouth watered with slimy
saliva dripping from snout to paw all the way from his gums. Ferocious
Fox cleared his throat and said in the most proper voice, “Hello Skunk,
would you like to dine with me?”
Smelly Skunk replied in a high squeaky voice, “I’d love to!”
Ferocious Fox said in reply, “Great!!!”
The next day, Smelly Skunk awoke from his den and snuck into
Ferocious Fox’s damp cave. “Huh! You’re early!” said Ferocious Fox.
“Why don’t you make yourself at home
while I get the pot ready?” Ferocious
Fox looked at the pot. “Those are some
nice looking birds,” said Ferocious Fox.
Smelly Skunk took a glimpse at the
pot. Fox tried to push Smelly Skunk but
Smelly Skunk locked his back legs
around Ferocious Fox’s neck and
sprayed him in the face with smelly
skunk perfume.
Moral: Think ahead before you act.
Hiccup the Horse and
Stinky Skunk
By Paige and Meghan
It was a blazing hot spring
day in a horse stable where
Hiccup the Horse was hanging
out. Along came Stinky the Skunk
and they were talking for an hour
and a half.
Horse hiccupped and said, “It smells ferocious. It smells like a
litterbox!” Stinky said, “It wasn’t me!”. Stinky stampered off. Hiccup
hiccupped again and grunted, “Great, now my stable stinks.” Then
Stinky came back.
Stinky said, “It wasn’t me who smells bad. It’s you.” Hiccup said,
“Oh, like it was me. It was you.” Stinky replied, “It wasn’t me. I know
that I am a skunk, but it wasn’t me. I know it wasn’t.” “Well, it wasn’t
me,” said Hiccup. “Whatever,” said Stinky Skunk.
Stinky Skunk and Hiccup the Horse tramped off again like they
didn’t care. They stayed inside for about 45 minutes. Finally, Hiccup
came back outside and said, “Sorry for what I did.” Also, Stinky said,
“Want to be friends again?”
Huccup said, “Yes.” They both became friends again and had a
bomb of fun!
The moral of the story is: It’s better to recognize our own faults
than to put blame on others.
Choppy Cheetah,
Ferocious Lion, and, Of
Course, the Playful Bird
By: Cade and Sheaffer
One day Choppy Cheetah
and Ferocious Lion were
playing in the forest. The
forest was all grassy and
peaceful. They tackled each
other, but not in a fighting
way. Then Playful Bird came
along to join the game. They didn’t see Playful Bird until… he
came in front of their faces. Playful Bird asked, “Can I play?”
Choppy Cheetah and Ferocious Lion said, “Ok.” Then,
Playful Bird spread his wings and flew in the air. Also, Playful
Bird darted under the trees. Next, he sat on top of the trees. So
Choppy Cheetah tried to climb to the top of a tree and Ferocious
Lion tried to climb another tree. Lion’s tree snapped and fell.
Ferocious Lion couldn’t walk because he broke two of his legs.
Choppy Cheetah tried to fly but he fell and broke his ribs.
Playful Bird didn’t stay around because he lost his
playmates, since the cats got hurt. Playful Bird flew back to his
nest. The cats got really sad
because their new friend flew
away. They were also in
terrible pain. The cats were
mad at themselves because
they tried to be birds and
ended up getting hurt. They
decided next time to play with
cats.
Moral: Play with those
who have your own abilities.
Cuddly Kitten Vs. Slithering Snake
and Tricky Tarantula
By: Katie, Aaron and Michael
It was a blazing hot spring day. On
a beautiful morning Cuddly Kitten was
sitting on the ground… so bored. She had
absolutely nothing to do when she had a
perfect idea. Cuddly Kitten decided to
look around for something to do. That’s
when she met Tricky Tarantula.
When Cuddly Kitten met Tricky Tarantula, he noticed the kitten was
extremely bored. So Tricky Tarantula quickly thought up an idea. He would
trick Cuddly Kitten into batting a ball of yarn. “Yes!” he thought, “My plan is
absolutely perfect!”
Cuddly Kitten was persuaded so
well, that Tricky Tarantula just had to
buy a colorful ball of yarn. So he did.
Guess who was watching, Slithering
Snake! He saw how Tricky Tarantula
tricked Cuddly Kitten. He thought he
should have a try at tricking the cute
kitten.
Tricky Tarantula was so happy that he skipped off with some of Cuddly
Kitten’s money. Then Slithering Snake came. He is very good at tricking
others. Slithering snake thought, “I can tell her to watch this um…oh, this
stick … while I steal her ball of yarn.” “Oh Kitten, would you watch this
stick?” “Why?” said Cuddly
Kitten. “Well, because I’m afraid
that it will catch on fire.” “Oh,
OK,” said Cuddly Kitten.
While Cuddly Kitten was
watching the stick, Slithering
Snake stole her ball of yarn and
snuck away. The kitten said,
“Can I stop staring now?” There
was no answer. She looked
around for her ball of yarn. She
felt like she wanted to cry. So
she did.
Moral: Don’t let others trick you or you will be a fool.
Foolish Tiger and Fast Lion
By Ari and Jace
One hot, sunny summer
day in Africa, Fast Lion and
Foolish Tiger went to an
enemy’s race to win a huge
prize. The big prize was a
large cup full of ice cream.
The obstacles that the animals used in the humongous
race were: the long jump, the high jump, the pole jump, tag
team running, and swimming.
When Fast Lion and Foolish Tiger got on the starting
line the announcer said, “Ready, on your mark, get set, GO!”
So they were off. They were hooked together in the team
race. Selfish Zebra stepped on Foolish Tiger’s foot on
purpose. Foolish Tiger twisted his ankle so he could not run.
Foolish Tiger and Fast Lion lost the race. Then Foolish
Tiger started blaming Fast Lion for losing the race.
So then Foolish Tiger and
Fast Lion were no longer friends.
The moral of the story is: It is
better to recognize our own
defects than to put the blame on
others.
Puffy Penguin, Crazy
Panda and Cute Koala
By: Isabelle and Kyle
It was a cold, breezy
night and Puffy Penguin was
out stealing bananas from
Crazy Panda’s and Cute
Koala’s cottages in the rain
forest…
The next quiet, peaceful
morning Crazy Panda woke
up and noticed his bananas were missing! Crazy Panda called
Cute Koala up on his polka dot phone. Cute Koala said his
bananas were missing too! So Crazy Panda and Cute Koala
went to Puffy Penguin’s cottage. When Crazy Panda and Cute
Koala asked Puffy Penguin to please stop stealing the bananas,
Puffy Penguin said yes.
The next sizzling hot day,
Puffy Penguin stole bananas
again from Cute Koala’s and
Crazy Panda’s warm cottages.
Crazy Panda and Cute Koala
stopped playing with Puffy
Penguin.
One cold, dim morning…
Puffy Penguin asked why Cute
Koala and Crazy Panda were
not playing with him. Crazy
Panda and Cute Koala
answered, “Because you promised you would stop stealing
bananas from us and you didn’t.”
Moral: We must be truthful in what we do and what we say.
Don’t say one thing and then do the opposite.

By: Madeline and Miranda
It was a burning sunny
summer afternoon in a field of
grass. Curious Cat went for a walk.

under a shady tree, so she walked
right up to Racing Rabbit. When

“Why are you eating that
tuna?”
Curious cat told Racing Rabbit, “None of your business.”
