Children's Story

Mr. Fox and Mrs. Duck decided to go to the lake.

On their way, they ran into Mr. Butterfly.

“Hey guys, where ya goin’?” Asked Mr. Butterfly.

“To the lake! Would you like to come?” Said Mrs. Duck.

“I’d love to come, but why are you going now? It is going to rain,” Mr. Butterfly noted.

“But it’s sunny!” Said Mr. Fox.

Mr. Butterfly looked at the sky and said, “look! There’s a rainbow overhead!”

“Let’s go find the end of the rainbow! There is gold there!”

Mr. Fox, Mrs. Duck, and Mr. Butterfly went looking for the end of the rainbow.

On their way, they ran into an evil snake.

“Sssssssoooo… What bringsssss you three onto my territory?” the snake hissssed.

“Oh no! We’re so sorry, we were just passing through. Really, we mean no trouble,” promised Mrs. Duck.

“Sssssssuree. Thatssss what they all ssssssay. I sssshould bite you all,” the snake said.

Mr. Fox extended his paw. “Look, we didn’t mean to upset you. We’re trying to go to the end of this rainbow. Would you like to come with us?”

The snake was puzzled. No one had ever asked him to do anything with them! Everyone was afraid of him.

Mrs. Duck smiled and said, “yeah, it’d be fun! Come join us!”

The snake decided that maybe these three weren’t so bad. “Sssssureee, I’ll come. Letssss go find thissss rainbow!”

The four of them continued their journey, until they found the end of the rainbow. They dug and dug and dug, but no treasure?

“Hmmm,” mused Mr. Butterfly, “maybe the treasure isn’t gold. Maybe it’s something better?”

“Like what?” wondered Mr. Fox.

“Friendssssship,” said the snake.

The duck was sitting near a pond, when the monkey skated past. He stopped, and turned, and said "what's wrong, duck?" 
The duck turned and said "I'm afraid to go in the water"
The monkey asked why, and the duck explained, that his brother had been caught whilst swimming in a lake many years before.
The monkey smiled sadly and said, "you know, you can't go through life afraid of what will happen"
The duck frowned and said "but I am scared"
The monkey said, I think you can do it. He raised his hands behind the ducks back, and with one big push threw him into the water.
"See," said the monkey "you haven't died in the water. You're fine!"
The duck smiled and said, "hey, I guess sometimes you need a friend to help you take the hard steps in life."
The monkey smiled and skated off, while the duck swam about in the pond.

Clarence the cow was fast asleep. He was dreaming about lying in a field of hay. That was his favorite kind of dream. Just then, in his dream, a huge black cloud drifted in the sky above him. He looked up and stared at the cloud for a few seconds. That’s when he realized that it wasn’t a cloud and it wasn’t a dream. It was a person dressed as a cloud. They had a knife. They advanced slowly towards Clarence, raising the knife above him. Clarence trembled in his cow-knickers. He screamed. The person dressed as a cloud brought the knife down on Clarence. Blood spurted everywhere. The person dressed like a cloud looked up, and barely audibly whispered, "that's for having a stupid name. Goodbye, Clarence." The End.
