ONCE UPON A TIME STORIES

Three random stories I wrote for an English class. Till now, I have no idea how could my teacher even survive reading those. May you enjoy.

EVIL BOOTS AND THE SAD SUICIDE

  Once upon a time, there were two little boys called John and Jack - the best friends. Forever? No! Because something came between them. That something were shoes.

  One day, John and his mom were walking down the street along the shops. John didn't give a damn about it until he saw them: totally amazing boots. They looked ancient, but they obviously were new - because of their price. John asked his mother for them. He didn't have to cry too hard, his family was extremly rich.

  The next day, he wore his new shoes at school and everyone was admiring him - everyone excluding his best friend Jack. He was really angry - John only cared about his boots and fame and forgot about him.

  Jack was hoping - no, expecting, that John would get enough of the boots and would be the same John like before. But the opposite was true. John was wearing his shoes constantly every day and Jack was still angrier and angrier - he also started to be jealous. He knew, he had to end it. So, he made an evil plan.

  In the night he broke into John's house, intending to steal those terrible boots. But when he came to John's bedroom, he saw him sleeping with his boots on his feet. He came closer and recognized, that the boots were really not so ordinary - they had teeth! Jack felt frozen - he was so scared.

  Suddenly he heard a weak whispering: ‚Please, help me. Take off my shoes.‘ Now everything was crystal clear - John was the prisoner of his evil shoes. Jack had to help him!

  He grabbed the left shoe and pulled. But the right shoe woke up and started to fight him. Jack jumped aside and threw the left boot into the right boot's mouth. The left boot died immedietly. The right shoe was so ashamed of what it had done and committed a suicide - it ate itself.

  John was saved and happy. He promised, that he would never forget about Jack's brave act. But he lied - two months later a cobblestone hit his head and he lost his memory. Since this betrayal Jack has never trusted anyone. Never.

PUNISHMENT

  Once upon a time, there was a little kangaroo, that liked eating rabbits. Why? They were so tasty, full of vitamins, fluffy – so pleasant for his stomach. His stomach, called Geoffrey, was so happy every time he got another tiny rabbit, which he could dissolve.

  But not all of the kangaroo’s organs were like Geoffrey. His kidney, called Mary, was so sensitive and felt sympathy with all that poor eaten animals.

  Mary decided to make a contract with the kangaro’s liver and punish that evil kangaroo for his disgusting hobby. The liver decided to commit suicide to cause the kangaroo a terrible pain – it worked well. Mary wanted to strangle Geoffrey with kangaroo’s veins, but the veins weren’t so brave and ran away.

  The kangaroo was almost torn apart inside and died suffering. Mary died of an exhaustion. And Geoffrey? Geoffrey decided to marry kangaroo’s brain called Amy and lived happily ever after.

  And what’s the lesson of this story? Don’t eat rabbits or your body will make a revolution.

FEAR

  Once upon a time, there was a little sheep, which was afraid of cranberries. Her name was Sheep and she was convinced, that every little cranberry can transform itself in a moment into a terrifying cranberry-shooting monster. She’d always stood away from forests and places where cranberries lived and had such a hilarious life on her own field.

  But one day an enormous dinosaur called Bob came to her field and started to sing. If you had ever seen a dinosaur, I guess you can imagine perfectly, how loud and disgusting it was. Sheep decided to run away, because of her ears‘ safery (Bob’s singing was making them bleed), but she was a bit careless, so she did not notice she had ended up in a forest.

  She looked around and froze still. She saw it – the devilous canberries! „What shall I do? What if they want to eat me? I have to protect myself!“ She was thinking. „I have to eat them before they eat me!“

  And she did it. She ran into the little plants with cranberries and ate them even with their roots – her heart was filled with determination. She decided to end up with her fear.

  She was so thrilled she had run back to her field and ate even dinosaur Bob. She declared herself to be a queen and made a separate kingdom of her little field... and lived happily ever after (without cranberries and dinosaurs).
