The Yak And The Yak
By Morgan M., 8, Maryland, USA
The moral of my fable is: Never talk to strangers or go with strangers unless you have permission from your guardian.
One day, Yak 1 was walking through town and came across Yak 2. They lived in Yak Town just a little way from Tigers Town. “Sup,” said Yak 1 and Yak 2 to each other.
Yak 1 was always worried about Yak 2. Yak 1 was responsible and worried about Yak 2 who was not so responsible. He reminded his friend, “Do not talk to strangers because Yak Town is not safe, and somebody could do something to you like the tigers who live nearby.”
The next day, Yak 2 talked to a Tiger stranger. The Tiger said, “Hey! You want to come over to my house?”
Yak 2 said, “Sure,” and they went to Tiger’s house. Six hours later, Yak 1 found Yak 2 caught in a net at Tiger’s house. Yak 1 used his horns and fought Tiger off so that he could return with Yak 2 to Yak Town.

How Parrot Got His Colors
By Zion M., 9, Maryland, USA
The moral of my fable is: Don’t be mean to others. There is beauty in everyone.
In a jungle, there was a parrot. He had no colors on his feathers. He had plain grey feathers. One day, Parrot was in the forest playing with his friends. That’s when Peacock said to Parrot, “You have no color. You’re not beautiful like me.”
Parrot was sad. As he cried, his tears began to land on his feathers changing them to brilliant shades of blue. He walked off and went rainbow. That’s when Peacock said, “Wow! You look beautiful. Sorry for what I said about you.”
Parrot said, “It’s ok. We are still friends.”

The Rabbit And The Cheetah
By Aline Noyola, 9, Maryland, USA
The moral of my fable is: Be humble.
The Rabbit was always challenging others to race him. On that day, the Rabbit hops over to the Cheetah and challenges him to a race. The Rabbit was bragging about always winning.
Though the Cheetah was also fast, he knew the Rabbit never liked to lose. The Cheetah told the Rabbit, “I cannot race you because I would surely lose.”

The Checker Challenge
By Mofe O., 8, Maryland, USA
The moral of my fable is: Bragging about being better than everyone doesn’t bring you friends.
Vampire Bat bragged all the time that he was better than everyone at checkers. “I am better than everyone at checkers!”
He wouldn’t let up, so no one wanted to play with him. “I am going to win, he said to his friend Lynx.
“No, you’re not going to win,” Lynx replied. As time passed, even his friend, Lynx stopped playing with him. The next time Lynx wanted to play checkers, instead of going to get Vampire Bat, he found Tiger and they played together in peace.

The Horse And The Cat
By Skye B., 9, Maryland, USA
The moral of my fable is: Positivity will sometimes change a bully’s heart.
Nearly every day, the Cat found ways to bully the Horse. Instead of running away, one day the Horse decided to invite the Cat over for a play date. The play date was a success and they got along splendidly.
After several more play dates, they became friends. The Cat stopped bullying people and became nice. This was all because the Horse showed kindness to the Cat.
