The Eagle And The Pigeon
Kaelyn. 9, Oakville, Manitoba
The moral of my fable is: Don’t cheat to just win.
My Fable:
On a sunny day in the forest, a pigeon woke up from his marvelous bed. He got up and fell down the stairs because he was still tired.
He went outside and saw a eagle so he flew up to him and said, “Hi. Do you want to race?” He asked his question in a nice way.
The eagle laughed out loud. And said, “You want to race me? I’m the fastest bird in the forest.” The pigeon didn’t believe that.
So the birds went to the starting line. A bird shouted. “ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GO!”
When the eagle and pigeon were high as a tree they starting racing as fast as they could. When the pigeon was in the lead the eagle hurt the pigeon by biting the pigeon’s wing. He had to cheat. The eagle raced to the finish line and won but the birds saw that he had cheated.
So they voted that the pigeon had won. The eagle said he was sorry and the pigeon and eagle became friends.

He saw a monkey on a branch. He wanted to surprise the monkey so he ran on the dry ground to the monkey and accidentally pushed him off the branch.
The bear said, “I am so sorry.”
The monkey said, “It’s OK. I was just looking at the city.”
“Oh,” the bear said.
“Hey, you are that bear that was bullying everybody in the city” asked the monkey. “You wanted to push me off. Why are you a bully?” the monkey asked.
“I don’t know,” replied the mean bear.
“You don’t have to be a bully,” said the monkey.

The Big Animal Race
Alyssa, 11, New York, United States
The moral of my fable is: Cheaters NEVER prosper in the long run.
My Fable:
On a regular hot Sunday afternoon in the city of Eagle Pass, a Siberian husky named Kichoo was playing with her friends. Then, Merigold, a sly red fox came up to Kichoo and said, “Hey, I bet I am WAY faster than you. To prove it, let’s have a race tomorrow in the afternoon.” Kichoo accepted.
“Kichoo is the fastest animal here,” thought Merigold. “I have to cheat!” Kichoo trained all day and slept at 8:30 pm. Meanwhile, Merigold was thinking of a plan and went to bed at 3:00 am.
The next afternoon all the animals of Eagle Pass went to see the big race. Kichoo was first at the starting line. Merigold finally came to the starting line yawning. Ready, set, go! Both young canines started running as fast as they could. Kichoo was a lightning bolt! Merigold used the short cut (even though that was against the rules) to get to the finishing line.
That sly fox was in front of Kichoo! “Hey Kichoo, if I win, you will leave Eagle Pass forever! If you win, you can decide what to do with me!” said Merigold. “I can’t leave my friends,” thought Kichoo. Merigold then started calling Kichoo a “slow-poke” and said she’ll never win.
But Kichoo didn’t listen and ran really fast that no one could see her moving!
Then, swoosh! Kichoo won! Not only did Merigold learn her lesson, but was surprised when Kichoo decided that Merigold could stay in Eagle Pass and asked to be her friend.
Now you know that cheaters never win.
