The Rich Mole and the Money
by Amy
A very rich mole who had lots of money decided one day that he would go to the fish market and buy some supper. When he got there he saw a large fish and a small fish. He bought the small fish because he didn't want to spend a whole bunch of money. "How much will this cost"? asked the mole.
"Five dollars, please," said the mouse who worked at the fish market.
After that Mole went to the candy store across the street and bought five pounds of candy. He didn't know that five pounds of candy cost twenty dollars.
"Twenty dollars, please," said the candy store owner.
"What!" cried Mole. "Are you crazy! Here is twenty dollars. Now leave me alone!"
Mole rushed to the bank. He saw a man with 100 dollars. Mole thought to himself: I'm going to take that money from that man so I can be rich again.
Mole tried to take the money from the man but the man thought to himself: Well, if that little mole is going to take my money I might aswell take his. So the man took Mole's money instead of Mole taking his. Now Mole is left with nothing and is poor.

One day a hungry ant was trying to get up the wall in the backyard. There was sugar at the top of the wall. A man had been sitting on the wall eating cereal. He had spilled the sugar before he climbed down to leave. The ant kept trying to get up the wall but he got too tired to keep trying. He tried to convince himself that he didn't want it.
Sheep was going to meet his blind date and was really trying to look his best. He was feeling proud of himself and said, "I am looking great with my fluffy white wool and with my red bow tie."
