The Stories: Week 4

DAY 1

The Shark and the Dolphin

“The shark hollered “Stop it, stop hurting me please!
I’d get down and I’d beg you if I had any knees.”

DAY 2

Lola Koala

“But on the whole of the earth there is none quite so fair
As the soft, sweet and cuddly koala bear.”

DAY 3

The Shortest Giraffe

“Step after step moved Roscoe higher and higher
Closer and closer to his heart’s great desire.”

DAY 4

Tyrannosaurus Rex

“Rex had very sharp claws on each of his paws
And could swallow a horse with one snap of his jaws.”

DAY 5

The Triplets

“Splash, splash, kerplash, it came swift down the mountain
Big waves and whirlpools, it churned like a fountain.”
