Benjamin Franklin:
Benjamin's friend stuffed Ben's pocket with pennies. Benjamin ran to the toy store. He gave the owner all of his pennies for a whistle. Benjamin walked through the house while his family was eating dinner blowing his whistle.
His brothers and sisters teased him and called him a spendthrift. A spendthrift is someone who doesn't pay attention to what he is buying. Benjamin bought the whistle for four times what it was worth. After that he looked at how much something cost and he gave the person he was going to buy it from that amount. He also thought about how he would spend his money after that.
The Fox and the Grapes:
A fox went walking along and he spied some grapes. He really wanted them and he tried to get them. He couldn't so he said they were sour grapes and he quit. Then he just walked off.
Horatius and the Bridge:
The Most Interesting Part:
They put out his eye and he jumped into the river and they thought he was sunk. But he wasn't because he was the best swimmer in Rome.
The Fairy Forest, by Harry
The fairies use oranges for food. The peels make their beds. Big ones are for the Queen and King and small ones are for the servants and everyone else. If they are stuck together they use their fairy chainsaws to break them apart.
They also eat apples. Then they use the peels to make their pillows. They get their apples and drop them out of the tree. Then they get a big needle to put the peels in and they pick the grass with their fairy chainsaws. They put the grass in the apple peels and use the needles to make sure there aren't any holes.
