The Tale of Despereaux

Once upon a time in a far, far away land there lived a princess.  She lived in a happy, happy kingdom.  But the kingdom was very afraid of rats.  Every year they had a festival when they made a really good meal.  But once a rat wanted to come and smell the soup and he was at the top of the chain at the top of the Queen's soup.  The rat was smelling the soup so hard that he let go of the chain.  The Queen saw that the rat was in her soup, so she screamed!  And all of the knights came and the King said, "Get me that rat!"  The Queen was so scared that she died!  And then the King was even more mad.  For years and years, it wouldn't rain and the sun wouldn't come out.  The clouds just stayed and stayed and stayed.  But one day somebody felt a drop of rain on their head.  And they called, "Everybody, everybody, come outside!  The rain has started.  And the soup smells again!"  And then the King was happy again.  Then end.

The Famous Baker Catches the Robber

Once upon a time, there was a baker.  The baker's name was Cocoum.  He was very, very, very, very famous.  About every day, he had 1,000 people come to his bakery.  He sold cakes, cookies, pies, croissants, and lots of other ones.  Everyday, he earned about 200 dollars.  One day, there was someone who came to his bakery, but he didn't pay.  They saw him sneak out.  He got two cookies and one croissant.  So Cocoum called the workers that helped him at his shop.  One person that was very nice said, "I will pay his money to you.  I will pay my money for the money the person didn't pay."  Cocoum said, "Thank you but he stole and he has to pay his money."  Then they all ran outside and they saw footsteps.  They followed the footsteps and they belonged to the person who stole. They saw him but he was very far away.  Cocoum said, "Let's split up to go and find him because he might have seen us too!"  One of the groups found him but he did not see them.  Then they ran back to the baker and told him.  They all ran that way and caught him.  And they got his money.  Then they asked him, "Why did you steal?"  But he didn't answer, he just tried to get back to the bakery.  But the doors were locked.  Then, he gave up and the good guys got in with the keys they had.  And they lived happily ever after.  From that day on, no one ever stole again (well hopefully:).  The end.
