 * We read fairy tales as part of a traditional tales unit in language arts. We read the tried and true kind that we are all familiar with and a few with new, unique twists. Each student then wrote his/her own tales; borrowing characters, settings and elements of plot from the old favorites. Read one of them below. Be sure to leave comments for the author! **

Way back in once upon a time, there were three hungry wolves getting ready for dinner. The wolves put some tasty pork on their plates and started eating. “Ouch my pork is way too hot,” said the baby wolf.

“Oh! My pork is too hot too,” said mama wolf.

Quickly Papa wolf said, “Ah-Ah-Ah mine is sizzling.”

“Dada do we have to have pork for supper”? asked baby wolf crying over his burnt tongue.

“YES. Good pork is hard to find!” yelled papa wolf. “How about we go for a walk in the woods while our dinner cools down.” So they went outside for their walk.

Meanwhile there was a little lamb wandering in the forest. Under some apple trees next to a gravel road was a small white house. “I wonder whose house this is,” he said to himself. He knocked on the door. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK “Anybody home,” he called. Nobody answered. Panting the sheep complained, “Wow I need to sit down. My feet are killing me. Mary took me to school today.” The door was unlocked. He walked in and found three chairs in front of the roaring fire. He sat in papa wolfs chair. It was too hard. Then he tried out mama wolf’s chair. Too soft,” commented the little lamb. So next he tried out baby wolf’s chair. It was just right. “I’m going to relax here for awhile,” sighed the little lamb.

While the little lamb was napping there was a little red hen that was skipping along through the forest when she ended up at the exact same house as the little lamb did. The little red hen was so tired that he knocked on the door. “Come in,” the little lamb said. The hen walked in. “Do you own this house”? asked the little lamb.

“Nope I sure don’t,” replied the hen but if you don’t mind I’m going to go get some sleep before I continue on my walk. I have to get some grain for my bread.”

“Yup, you can go get some sleep. Make yourself at home,” welcomed the little lamb.

Meanwhile there was a pig that got lost playing in the woods from his two little brothers and you’re not going to believe it but he ran in to that very same white house. He knocked. “Anybody home,” he asked.

“Come in,” said the little lamb. The Pig walked in the house.

“Do you own this house”? asked the little lamb.

“No I don’t,” offered the pig. “Neither does the Hen that is upstairs sleeping,” said the little lamb.

“I’m going to get something to eat because I’m hungry,” explained the pig. He sat down at the table and started eating. “Yum Yum,” he said as he munched. He still had a little left when he wondered, what kind of food is this? “AHHHH! Its pork and- and- and- I’m made of PORK”! shrieked the pig spitting out what he was chewing.

Just then the lamb realized the chair he was sitting in was made out of little lamb skin. “AHHH! this chair is made out of little lamb skin,” screeched the little lamb.

At that very moment the Red hen got up. She wondered what the pillow on the bed was made of because it was so soft. She ripped open the pillow. “AHHH it’s made out of feathers from a red hen,” screamed the hen.

The three wolves came home just then to find the hen, the little lamb and the pig in their house, all carrying on and upset. The three wolves wasted no time catching the tasty animals and putting them in cages to fatten them up for a fabulous feast. Each day the wolves gave the hen, little lamb and pig grain and other scraps of food.

“DADA can I have some hen little lamb or pig tonight,” said the baby wolf.

"I was just thinking the same thing", said papa wolf. Mama wolf put some logs on the fire so it would get very hot, roasting hot in fact.

Meanwhile Hansel and Gretel were playing frisbee in a meadow nearby. Hansel threw the frisbee and it went higher and higher. “Where did it go”? asked Gretel.

“I don’t know lets go look for it,” replied Hansel. Hansel and Gretel walked this way and that. They came to a house in the woods. They knocked “Anybody home?” they asked.

Papa wolf opened up the door and asked, “Who are you?”

“We're Hansel and Gretel," they replied. "Haven’t you ever read a fairy tale before?" “Have you seen our Frisbee."

“Your frisbee? Oh, my, Yes. It’s inside,” said papa wolf. Hansel and Gretel walked in not realizing the danger. Suddenly the wolf grabbed them by the arms. “Ha Ha Gotcha. You’re going to be our slaves for our feast tonight” said papa wolf.

“Can I see what you’re going to feast on,” said Hansel thinking quickly.

“Yes just this way,” said papa wolf as he led the way to the cages in the backyard. “These are what you’re going to prepare for our feast. These helpless, but tasty animals.”

Back in the house, the wolves gathered around the fire to stir spices into the pot to get ready for the animals, with their tongues hanging out and their mouths watering. Hansel and Gretel were chopping vegetables at the table then they snuck up behind the wolves and then pushed them one-two-three in the pot of boiling water. Running Hansel and Gretel high fived and quickly ran down the hall and unlocked the cages for the animals. They jumped out and ran home to their worried parents. They all lived happily ever after, (this is a fairy tale) except the wolves of course.
