A story and a poem

The lion and The cougar - a short story

Once upon a time, there lived a lion and a cougar who were very very best friends. They hunted together as there were the best of friends. On a hunting day, they met a leopard who said that he would also become their friend. But the two carnivores did not accept the leopard as their friend. As the two went on, they hunted a deer and returned to their den. They lived together and lived in one den. As spring ended, summer started. The sun rose high as a blazing ball. The heat was so strong that they could not go out hunting. They had to go hungry. As summer ended, winter came. The winter was even more horrible than summer. As the two toiled with hunger, they even became weak. As the days passed, spring started again. There was enough food around the jungle. They did not toil any more. They went hunting whenever they felt like that. Those happy days did not last for long. Soon, the same old, boring days loomed ahead. Times were not like when there was enough food. The two friends had to go hungry again. Their ribs now struck out as they were growing old. The two animals were really growing old. Their paws were now blunt to hunt. Now the lion's mane started to fall. As they became older and older, they died of starvation. End.

The moral is: make friends with others.

Tooth fairy dream - a poem

When I dreamed about the tooth fairy

There came the pain fairy

She attacked tooth fairy with swords

So tooth fairy could attack her with words

It was loud, I woke up, to see if my body had soaked up

Then I snored and snored, till I was bored and bored

It was a nice fight, for me a boring sight


It was then a pretty sight

Oh! that boring fight!

Then I was full of fright, as the room was turning bright


Then continued the fight

And I saw the pretty sight

Oh pretty sight, oh pretty sight, oh my pretty sight!

my “DREAM” had ended right!
