Give the Dog a Bone!

Max the Rat was a B-A-A-A-A-D boy!  He never did anything the way he should!  That caused him and the people around him a LOT of trouble.

For instance, one day at the dog park, a cute little bulldog named Ginger was playing with her bone.  This bone was not a squeaky toy, but a REAL bone and it was delicious! 

Max the Rat came along, saw the bone, and even though rats don't eat bones, he stole the bone and took off as fast as his little legs would carry him!

Ginger called Stinky Cheese Man, a former burglar who is now working as a finder of lost things, and he was on the case.  Stinky followed the clues, found Max and got the bone back. 

After he made sure the bone was safely back with its owner, Stinky called the police and had Max put in rat prison for a very long time.  Let's hope that Max learns his lesson!

The Missing Pet

There are lots of stories about missing pets, but this one may be the strangest!

There was a short, mean zombie named Blackbeard.  He was an interesting guy, but he had an even MORE interesting pet.  His pet was a green slimy worm!

One day, while Blackbeard was in the same room as the worm cage, a very crafty man named Mr. Kirby (no relation to the Mr. Kirby at the school, of course) snuck into the house and stole the worm right out of its cage!  Mr Kirby loved to step on poeple's feet and his hobby was stealing stuff.  He wore camoflauge that looked like the wallpaper in the worm cage room to help him steal the worm.  He was VERY sneaky.

Blackbeard got on his phone and called John, a former alien space pirate who was now an alien space policeman.  John quickly followed the clues, captured Mr. Kirby and rescued the worm.  Mr Kirby went to jail to think about what he had done.

The Case of the Missing Marshmallow

Billy Bob Joe, Jr. was a very old, very fat acorn.  He had a marshmallow that had magical powers!  He loved that marshmallow so much!

One night while Billy Bob Joe, Jr was asleep, a stinky hairy squirrel named Joe snuck into Billy Bob's house and stole the marshmallow!  I guess Billy Bob was lucky that the squirrel didn't decide to steal him as well!

As soon as Billy Bob Joe, Jr. woke up and saw that the marshmallow was missing, he got on the phone and called his good friend Bob.  Bob is an outstanding detective and is as big as Bigfoot.  He was on the case.

Bob followed the clues and was soon on the trail of the marshmallow thief.  He found Joe and was able to get the marshmallow before Joe had a chance to do anything with it.  He was planning to take the marshmallow back to Billy Bob Joe, Jr., but while he was on the way back, he got hungry.  Without realizing what he was doing, Bob popped the magic marshmallow into his mouth and ate it!

The doctors are trying to figure out what to do.  Will Bob be all right?  Will he develop magical powers?  Can the marshmallow be found and extracted with surgery?  You could write the next chapter in this story!

Marcus to the Rescue

Ashley was a very sweet girl who had long, black straight hair.  She loved her hair, and she especially loved the way the sun shone on it when she walked outside. 

Jamari, who seemed like a nice boy, surprised everybody when he snuck up behind Ashley and cut off her hair.  Ashley was so surprised she didn’t even scream until after he had disappeared into the crowd in the cafeteria. 

Instead of crying, Ashley called her friend Marcus who was an amateur detective and an expert with all kinds of tape.  Marcus found Jamari with Ashley’s hair and took it away from him.  Marcus made sure that Jamari went to jail.  It took Marcus all afternoon to tape Ashley’s hair back on.  When he was finished, no one but Ashley could tell anything had ever happened to her hair.

The Long Field Trip

Have you ever been on a trip to outer space?  If you had been in Mrs. Johns’ class, you would have taken the longest field trip ever! 

  Mrs. Johns, a very hice, very rich teacher, taught the biggest, baddest, more-boys-than-girls class in the school.  While they were out on the playground, Mrs. Hill, who was an alien that looked like a real person, invited Mrs. Johns’ class over to her side of the playground.  When they all got over there, Mrs. Hill loaded them up and took them on a field trip to Mars.

It all happened so fast, that Mrs. Johns did not have a chance to stop Mrs. Hill. Mrs. Johns got on the phone and called her god friend Michael Jackson to help.  Fortunately, Michael had a spaceship and he helped her get to Mars to get her students back.

It turns out that Mrs. Hill did not mean any harm.  She just thought it would be fun to take some kids to her home planet. When Mrs. Johns explained that you could not take kids on a field trip without their parents’ permission, Mrs. Hill apologized. 

Michael Jackson had never met a space alien before, and he and Mrs. Hill became good friends.  He even did a concert for the school.

A Missing Kangaroo

Once upon a time there were three friends playing on the playground.  Germaine was a Giraffe, tall and lean.  He also had a reputation of being a little bit mean.  He had a squeaky toy collection and his favorite was a small, new, noisy kangaroo.   While he was at the playground his kangaroo fell out of his book bag.  

K. J., a Komodo dragon, who also collected squeaky toys, found the kangaroo and picked it up. 

When Germaine discovered that the kangaroo was missing, he asked his nice, short friend Alex to help him find it. 

Alex began his search by asking Germaine who was at the playground when the kangaroo went missing.  Germaine only remembered two other kids being at the playground.  He did not know one of them, but the other was K. J. the Komodo dragon.  Alex then asked K. J. if he had seen the missing squeaky toy. K. J. told Alex that he had found the kangaroo near the slide and was going to add it to his own collection.  When Alex explained that it belonged to Germaine, K. J. gave it back. 

When Germaine found out that K. J. also collected squeaky toys, he invited K. J. to his house to see his collection.  Germaine, K. J. and Alex all became good friends.
