The Stories: Week 3
DAY 1
The Rainforest
“The forest has many enemies who will destroy it if they can,
And I don’t refer to animals, the enemy is MAN.”
DAY 2
The King and the Mosquito
“And away they would go just as fast as they could,
Worried that they looked like they tasted too good.”
DAY 3
The Baby Elephant
“The people ‘oohed’ and they ‘aahed’ and that was only because
Not one of them knew just how lonely she was.”
DAY 4
The Melting Penquin
“The warming caused melting and the iceberg lost land
‘Til they were all squished together with no place to stand.”
DAY 5
King Neptune Calls
“For this monster could crush me if he would just choose to
And this was thought I could not quite get used to.”
