MYTH: Once there were three brothers who lived in an island called Green Island. The three brothers were Clouds, Wind and Ocean. They lived harmoniously and peacefully in that island. They grew up in the island without their parents. They believed that their parents were killed by the pirates. Clouds was fat but he could jump high up to the sky. Wind could run fast and was very strong. Ocean was quiet and very smart. They used to help each other every day.
One night while Clouds, Wind and Ocean were asleep they heard a very loud noise. It was very strange because nights were quiet in Green Island before. The brothers got up and tried to find out who was making the noise, but they couldn’t find him. The noise continued to wake everybody up in the middle of the night. Everybody thought it was a monster who was making the noise. So the three brothers came up with a plan to catch that monster.
In fact, there was no monster but the noise had come from pirates on a boat. The same pirates who had killed Clouds, Wind, and Ocean’s parents a long time ago. The brother Clouds jumped very high, into the sky, and became a real cloud. Tons and tons of rain poured down from his cloud. Wind ran very fast until he became real wind. He used his wind to make a hurricane with Clouds.
Finally, Ocean turned into a real ocean and created big waves like a Tsunami. The boat was caught in the storm and had trouble keeping afloat. Some of the pirates even fell off the ship into the waves. The chief pirate decided to put all of the rubbish from the ship into the ocean to make it dirty because he was so angry. Ocean found it hard to breathe and became very sick from all the dirt. Then brothers Wind and Clouds became even angrier and had to work harder since Ocean was very weak. Wind and Clouds were running around and around, working harder and harder. This continued until they created dark, dangerous and powerful hurricanes. The hurricanes broke the ship and it took in lots of water. As the ship sank the hurricane started to scoop up garbage from the sea. It also picked up the pirate chief and lots of water from the sea and took them high into the sky. The pirate chief was very angry and waved his sword, making lightning. Then the pirate chief shouted in rage, making thunder. That is why we can see lightning before hearing thunder. And this is why hurricanes, lightning and thunder always come together from the ocean. |

TITLE: Incredible Turtles
The four grade 4 classes wrote these stories over a week, each class doing one paragraph of eash story.
Long, long ago there were not any horses in this world. So, people always walked on foot to go from one place to another place. One day it was very hot and people were very tired of walking. And they saw a man who was riding a big turtle. As it turns out, the man was a turtle-seller. Everyone was so hot and they were interested in riding turtles too, so many people bought turtles from him. At first, all of the people got on the turtles, but the turtles didn’t move. The people were very angry. However, one girl, wearing a white dress and a big hat, saw the turtles eating cabbage. Her name was Stephanie and she had an idea. She used some string to tie the cabbage to a stick and held it in front of the turtles so they would walk. When she held the cabbage in front of the turtles, the turtles began to walk.
After a while, the people decided that the turtles were too slow and they were eating too much cabbage. The turtles were getting fatter and fatter day by day while the people were getting thinner and thinner. The people wanted to change to riding a different animal. They decided to kill the turtles and eat them. Just when they were about to cut down the first turtle, to their amazement, the turtle spoke: “PLEASE don’t kill us. We can help you. We have the power to grant you a wish.”
“Ok! We will not kill you if you can promise us that you will move fast this time.” a man said. “We just want to make our travel fast that’s why we decided to ride a faster animal and kill you.” said the other man. The first turtle was thinking of better ways on how they can really move fast. “We just have very short legs.” said the other turtle. “Why don’t we change our legs into wheels?” suggested the first turtle. All the turtles agreed to that suggestion. And so the people did not kill them. They were very happy because the turtles can move very fast now. But the turtles got tired because people used them everyday. One man got the idea of making turtles out of wood. He also put wheels instead of legs. The people thanked the man for coming up with this brilliant idea. Soon, they made bigger turtles. Soon they became cars that we are using today. This is the reason why cars really look like big turtles. |
