  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,...

  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.

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 ...

They were all friends but had their own families and would always meet up to ride on their golf cart to cut down trees to turn into lumber.

 Once upon a time, there was a king who had a lake for his boys to play in. He told the boys that he had gotten fishes in there for them to see and mess around with. While the boys we're at the lake, they saw something very suspicious and out of the ordinary. The suspicious animal was a Turtle, but they had never seen one before. The boys run back to the King and the men inside and yell that there is something in the water, they referred it to as a demon and that the demon was out to get them. The King forced men to go out to the lake to catch this, out of ordinary, species. When the men brought the Turtle back, the King wanted these men to kill it because only fish were supposed to be in the water. As they went around the room and talked about killing the animal, the Turtle pokes it's head out and says, "what have I done to you humans for you guys to want to do something to hurt me and hurt my life? The lake is my safe spot and I would never do anything to hurt you guys, ...

They decided to throw acorns around him, and everyone knows squirrels love acorns, but it came at the little guy so fast, he got super worried. The squirrel decides to run off, on his run, he runs into a cat. (I know squirrels and cats don;'t like eachother, but this story is a little different).

They see that they are just being kids and run away. The two fall in love and live happily ever after. ...
