The Farmer, Mouse, and Cat Story Week 13

 Bibliography: W. H. D. Rouse, The Mouse and The Farmer
One day, there was a farmer who was just hanging out around his ranch when a mouse came crawling up to him. This little mousie buried a hole in the ground where he stays and sleeps. "Hey farmer, my name is mousie. I see you around all the time and want to be friends with you in exchange for whatever you want."
"Hi mousie, nice to meet you. Come back another day and we can talk more, but I'll make sure not to hurt you." Little did the farmer know that he was about to get the best gifts from the mouse ever. The farmer had a cat named cattie but the cat didn't know because he was so small.
A couple days went by and finally the mouse came back with gold from the ground. The farmer was so appreciative of this and decided to find a way to show his appreciation. 
"Thank you so much mousie, this is very nice of you. I have decided to give you pieces of meat for you to eat to show my appreciativeness," the farmer said. "This is so kind farmer, I look forward to doing this everyday with you." 
One day, the cat saw the mouse and wanted to eat him, but mousie thought otherwise. "Please don't eat me, we can be best friends and I will come hangout with you everyday," said mousie to cattie. 
Everyday from then on, the mouse would meet the farmer and give him gold. When the farmer gets the gold, the mouse gets the meat from him and it is a great exchange for both of them but cattie is disappointed. 
Mousie left his hole every morning and would hangout with cattie. They became bestest of friends and couldn't go a day without seeing eachother. During the day is when the farmer and mouse would exchange the gifts given for eachother.


Authors Note: I kept the two stories somewhat the same. I decided to switch the ending to where the cat and mouse end up being best friends instead of the cat trying to eat the mouse then dying instead. The cat ate glass that he thought was just the mouse but then the mouse ended up crawling out while the cat was dying. Most of the story is the same, I just decided to make it more wholesome and sweet.

    Hey Logan! First of all, what an image to use for this story! How cool. I like how you switched the story to the cat and mouse ending up as friends in the end, rather than death. I like how you took a wholesome turn with this story, I personally like this version better! Haha. Overall, great work and fantastic writing!

    Hi Logan! I was a bit confused on some parts, but reading the author's note made the story more understandable. I do like that you changed a bad ending to a happy ending! It would be pretty tragic for a cat to die while eating glass. The picture you posted got a good chuckle out of me as well. Great job and good luck on your finals!

    Hi Logan!

    Good work here. I was a little confused by the fact that the cat works out the agreement to be friends with the mouse, but then becomes disappointed about it and then becomes fine again by the end. It seemed so sudden of a shift. Other than that, the exchange between the three of them was good.

    Keep up the good work!

The Turtle Who Indeed Stopped Talking Story Week 12

Image
  Bibliography: Ellen C Babbitt,  The Turtle who Couldn't Stop Talking One day, I was just strollin around the wildnerness where I live by the pond. There were these two birds who flew around me for quite a while, pretty sure they were geese. I got very nervous and scared so I hid myself in the pond. The geese flew away and never bothered me the rest of the time.  The next day, the two geese came back and I was outside the pond at the time. They came down to me and said, "Turtle, we are looking for some food for the night, can you be our dinner?" I, still scared and nervous at day two, decided to talk calmly to the geese.  "Why would you want to eat me, I've done nothing to the two of you besides be friendly, I just met you guys." I exclaimed. The geese decided to be friends and stop terrorizing me.  A couple days the geese came to visit me at the pond, we talked and hung out a lot. One day the geese tell me they will take me to a far away very nice home if

Logan's Introduction

 Hello fellow classmates, My name is Logan Biggs and I was born in Dallas, Texas on February 3rd, 1998. I have lived in Frisco, Texas since I was in 8th grade, but has always lived in the great state of Texas. I grew up playing soccer since I was 10 and I actually attended Midwestern State University my freshman year on a soccer scholarship. I got hurt, but, short story, ended up here at The University of Oklahoma and my time here has been great. This is my 3rd year here and I am majoring in Finance. Money and math has always been a passion of mine since I can remember. Something cool about my major is that, sometimes, depending what you do, you get to be a strategist for other companies and take care of the financial decisions they choose to make. The best class I took last semester was Business Finance. In my opinion, this was my favorite class because this is what I am majoring in and I really enjoy doing financial problems. My favorite type of movies are comedy and action movies. M
