Once upon a time there was a shark. He wanted to become a good guy. He wasn't already a good guy because he would steal things from people. He doesn't just steal useful things, like money or cars, but he steals silly things too, like boogers and sometimes even diapers. He wanted to become a good guy, but he just couldn't help himself! He had to steal whatever he saw.

The shark didn't know what to do. He decided to ask his best friend, a human named Nisali. Nisali recommended to the shark to go to meditation class. Maybe then he'd be able to learn how to be a good guy! Nisali told the shark that meditation classes help you heal your mind, and be mindful of your actions.

The shark thought that this sounded great, and decided to try meditation classes. He picked up a bag full of white clothing (which you need for meditating class) and began to travel to meditation class in a nearby reef. However, while he was swimming, he came upon a dance party. It was a crazy party! However, he remembered to go to meditation class. An hour later he came back. In a flash of light he became a hero!

'The Ladybug', a silly story by Hammad!

Once a upon a time there was a ladybug. She is on a mission to find a special type of diamond... a heart diamond! First, she needed to go to her friend that's a wizard. His name is Sebastian, and  he needed to come with her to get the heart diamond. Plus, he has magical potions. Next stop was the hippo's disco armory, and then meeting up with more of her friends, being a meat ball man, a girly pirate, and then a king and queen.

Ladybug and her team left, but it took days to get to their destination. Finally they got there! Then the evil Mr. Giraldi with a cool mustache appeared! They had to go fight him and his minions, being lots and lots of school kids. The battle lasted for years until they lost, so that means the evil Mr. Giraldi with a cool mustache beat them! Then he released his grumpy alligator. The alligator was supposed to eat the ladybug and her team, but then the alligator chased Mr. Giraldi off! Then, it went after the ladybug and her team! They were able to blind it with a magic potion, and got away. When we got home they were exhausted, but they still trained. They trained and trained for a month, and even brought in a special trainer! The special trainer was Nisali and her shark. After so much training, they all wanted to ride Nisali's shark back to the evil Mr. Giraldi, but there was no water, so they couldn't. Instead they had to walk! When they met the evil Mr. Giraldi for the second time they were ready to battle. However, he brought all his friends! They had a long battle, but were winning when the grumpy alligator showed up. Mr. Giraldi got scared and ran away, leaving the ladybug and her team to fight! They were able to blind the alligator with a magic potion again, and then the hippo sat on top of the alligator. The ladybug told the alligator that the hippo wouldn't get off until the alligator said that he was sorry, and promised to be less grumpy. The alligator promised, and the ladybug and her team let him go. They then found Mr. Giraldi hiding in a corner, because he was so scared of alligators. He said he wanted to join the ladybug's team, because she knew the secret of being safe from alligators! The ladybug said that they could train together and be friends. Mr. Giraldi took them to his most prized possession... a heart diamond! The ladybug used the heart diamond to buy all her friends what they wanted most.

The end!

Once upon a time there was a pirate and she was very little. She always wanted to be big.Then one day the pirate went to a wizard. His name was Sebastian the Great, and he was a very powerful teenage magic user! Then he told the pirate, "my wand is lost and broken!"

Then he told the pirate to go on a journey to find the Wizard's lost and broken wand, and then he would grant her wish. The pirate was going to set off, but before leaving the pirate said, "Where did you lose your wand?"

"I don't know," said the wizard. The pirate looked in the jungle behind the trees and bushes but it was not there so the pirate looked at the desert behind the pyramid and tried to dig some sand then finally she found the wizard's wand. It was buried deep under the sand. The only way she was able to find it was by digging a large hole, and eventually bumping into something that looked like a wand. She pulled it out, and brought it to the wizard.

"Is this your wand?" she said to the wizard.

"No, that is actually just a tree branch," said Sebastian the Great. "I don't know how one of those got in the desert!"

The wizard directed the pirate to check along his daily walking route near some big, big trees. The pirate asked about the trees, and the wizard said it was near a lake or pond. The pirate set off to find trees near a lake or pond.

"Well, here is a lake," said the pirate, "but the only trees are on an island in the middle of the lake. Did the wizard mean there?" she asked herself.

Then she went to find a boat. She found one, but it looked broken. When she used it it seemed okay though. She began sailing to the island, but the boat kept getting lower and lower in the water. She was sinking! She had to jump out and swim to the small island.

When she finally pulled herself up onto the island, she saw a big pond in the middle of the island. "Oh, a pond in the middle of an island in the middle of a lake!" said the pirate. "This is silly!"

Then she saw a stick. "Oh, another branch!" she said. "I'm so sick of branches pretending to be wands!"

She was about to throw it, but then she noticed that it had a white round mark on it. "Oh, maybe it is Sebastian's wand!" she said.

When she said 'Sebastian', the wand began to glow. BAM! The wand teleported her to Sebastian's house.

"Will you now grant me my wish?" said the pirate. "Will you make me bigger?"

The wizard said, "I will try!" With a wave of his magical wand, he made the pirate big. She was so big she broke the ceiling!

"Oh no, I'm too big!" she said. "Make me a little shorter!"

"Oh no, what have I done?" said Sebastian. "I'll try again, and this time I'll get it right!"

With a wave of his magical wand, he tried again. This time the pirate was too small. She was so small she couldn't even see over the wizard's shoes!

"Oh no, I did it again!" said Sebastian. "This time I know I'm going to get it right!"

With a final wave of his magical wand, Sebastian made the pirate grow up, but not too big and not too small this time!

"Perfect!" said the pirate. "Thank you!"

With that, the pirate left to live happily ever after, as a slightly more big, but not super big pirate!

The end!

‘The Hippo, The Pirate, and The Wizard’, a silly story by Arnav

Once upon a time there was a hippo who could make awesome clothes, but he could not because he was too sleepy. He went to sleep. When he woke up there was a pirate, a ladybug, a wizard and a talking meatball in front of him. When he stood up he realized that he was on a ship, and there was a killer clown on the ship! So the hippo tried to make clothes for him so he could calm the clown down. Sebatian the Great, which was the wizard, well, he used a spell on the clown, but after that his wand broke! What were they going to do to calm the clown down?

To make things worse, then an evil teacher kicked everybody except for the hippo. Then the evil teacher began approaching the hippo slowly. The hippo realized that he had to do something (other than fall asleep), and the hippo kicked the teacher and made him fall over in the boat. When the teacher got up he realized that he was trapped with chains! Apparently the clown liked the evil teacher, so he quietly sat next to him for the rest of the boat ride. After asking a few questions, the hippo learned that he was part of a quest to find a magical gem that could grant any wish. They were travelling to an evil castle to retrieve it.

After a few days they reached the evil castle! The wizard got potions just in case one of the guards saw them. They went in, but when they went inside they began to feel very sleepy. The ladybug reminded everyone that they had to stay awake! This was extra hard for the hippo. After searching for a long time, they saw that there was the gem on a table, but it was guarded with lots of guards! There was a thousand of them! Even if  they were sneaky, they would be caught because there were lots of alarms and cameras. Someone got an idea to dress up like the guards, but after they heard that they were putting up cameras that could see through disguises,  so that wouldn’t work. Then the ladybug got an idea to use a shrink ray, so they can bust out the camera and the alarm without getting caught. Everyone agreed so they went back and used their shrink ray to get the awesome looking gem. They stuck to the plan and got the gem!

The hippo then was able to get his wish, and had his sleepiness removed. He was now able to make amazing disco clothes without falling asleep!

The end.

Once there was a king and queen. The queen's name was Lolo and the king's name was Toto. One day they saw a puppy, and then some weird-looking people captured the puppy. Why would they do that? Puppies are cute, and you're not supposed to steal them! They called the guards, but the guards were too busy changing their childrens' poopy diapers. Both Lolo and Toto ran outside and were going to get their horses to chase the weird-looking people, but they had another problem! Their horses were sitting on a toilet (it was a broken toilet) because they  really needed to poop! What a horrible time to need a washroom break!

Other people who worked for the king and the queen were laughing when they were not looking. It was silly to see the king and queen waiting for their horses to finish going to the bathroom. The king and queen were chasing the weird looking people who had stolen the puppy! The weird looking people turned around to see who was chasing them, but for one second everything stopped. They were actually not weird people, they were clowns in disguise! It turns out that these were escaped clowns from a nearby circus, and they liked to eat cooked puppies! Lolo and Toto turned around and looked at each other, but they did not give up yet.They ran for days and days.

Okay, let's go back to the clowns! So they are super duper fast runners. They were a million miles away! The king and queen saw a car and Lolo and Toto jumped in the car and started driving it (even if they did not know how to drive a car) they still drove the car. They were pretty lucky to guess how to drive it! But then, poof! Car Crash! they seemed to be dead but they were fine. The clowns were now a million thousand miles away by this point. The king and queen gave up, they did not even know how to rescue  the puppy.So they were really really mad about running soo far away when there was no point of running soo far away!.

Of course they were still thinking about the puppy.They did't know how to communicate with their guards Just then they were talking about what they can do to get back home.Finally after talking a lot they made a very hard decision and so they turned around and started running one thousand million miles back home!!.The king and queen arrived at the castle after three tiring days.The king and queen slept for two days.They finally woke up and Lolo and Toto both scolded the guards for not coming with them.

The guards said sorry ma'am we were too busy changing our childrens poopy diapers.For once the king and queen forgave the guards.After a few years they wanted to be something else something else than a king and queen.They both started to work at a animal rescue center and finally learned to do something!.They retired being a king and they all lived happily ever after THE END!!.

'The Great Houdini', a silly story by Sebastian!

Once upon a time there was a pirate, a hippo, and a ladybug. They all had big problems! The pirate was as small as an ant and had a broken boat. The hippo needed to make disco clothes fashionable again.  The ladybug needed a large diamond. They all went to see the Great Houdini, otherwise known as the Great Sebastian, a powerful wizard! However, his magic wand was broken. They had to go on a quest to fix it!

The Great Houdini gave the ladybug a potion, and the ladybug got bigger. Now she was as  big as the hippo. That didn't fix her problem though... she wanted a large diamond! The great Houdini gave the pirate magic potions to get bigger and stronger, so she'd be able to fix her boat. The Great Houdini was going to work some more magic, but he couldn't make any stronger spells until his wand was fixed. Then they went on a quest to get a crystal and a special flower to fix his magic wand.

They were looking for the flower first. The flower was in the desert. A sheriff named Mr. Giraldi (and his partner baby Stefan), well, they guarded the flower. All the adventurers went to the desert to get the flower, but Mr. Giraldi did not know if they were good or not, so they had to prove that they were worthy. As they were talking to Mr. Giraldi, a sand monster came out of the ground and grabbed Mr. Giraldi! The Great Houdini threw a sleeping potion and the monster went to sleep. Now Mr. Giraldi  trusted them and gave them the flower and promised to  help them find the  crystal. He knew where to go. It was very far away in a cave, and it was protected by a skeleton army lead by  Mr Giraldi's evil brother named Andrew! He was also a wizard, and  he more powerful then the Great Houdini! He could even teleport! Mr. Giraldi and his partner baby Stefan were able to distract Andrew by making jokes about diapers. Andrew was so embarrassed! He still wore diapers. He was so embarrassed that he teleported away! The Great Houdini and his friends fought through the skeleton army and found the crystal. Now he was able to fix his wand and grant all his friends their wishes! The pirate got a new boat, the hippo learned how to make the most awesome disco clothes, the ladybug got her large diamond, and Mr. Giraldi and his partner baby Stefan were even able to potty train his brother Andrew! Now that he was potty trained, he wasn't evil anymore. The Great Houdini had fixed everyones' problems!

Meatbally versus The Living Forest (Kevin)

# data[].attributes.body
Once upon a time there was a
meatball. He was weird and smelly. One day, when he was walking through the forest, it came to life! But it was as slow as a snail! Also, Meatbally the meatball was too scared to move! He had no idea what to do! Then he grabbed a stone stick (yes, this is a super rare stick made of solid stone) anyway and attacked the forest.

He didn't know it at the time, but somebody threw a potion that made you overcome your fear. It turns out that Sebastian the Great, a powerful wizard, was hiding in the forest, and had seen Meatbally become so scared. Meatbally hit
the forest (actually, he hit a big tree over and over) and it stopped moving. Meatbally was so impressed with himself that he had to stop and flex his muscles. Wow! He did it!

He had overcome his fear, even if it was with some help from a wizard.

'The Very Crazy Minion', a silly story by Samaria!

Once there was a super hero (named Super Pinkie) who thought she was a minion. Super Pinkie wanted to be a voice impersonator, so she can copy Nisali's voice. Super Pinkie thought she could eat 100 bananas, just like a minion! One day Super Pinkie saw a lot of pies! The pies started to attack! Super Pinkie started to eat the pies, because they were filled with bananas! Super Pinkie got a stomach ache, and then bananas started to attack too! Super Pinkie fainted, but then ate an orange and got her super powers again (mainly the super power of being able to eat and eat)! Just then, minions came flying out of the sky. They ate all the bananas in Mississauga! Super Pinkie had to get more bananas (because she was still hungry) from the rainforest in Brazil. When Super Pinkie got back everyone had a party, but Super Pinkie's allergies started! She was allergic to having fun. Super Pinkie started to pour orange juice in a cup to forget about her allergies.

The next morning the minions were gone. Maybe Super Pinkie was just dreaming about everything that had happened? Super Pinkie still wanted to be a voice impersonator, but she didn't know how. Super Pinkie realized that she's not supposed to be Super Pinkie, she's supposed to be who she wants to be. Super Pinkie was now called 'Pinkie the Minion' and she was not allergic to fun anymore! Pinkie became a voice impersonator to copy Nisali's voice. Pinkie loved to be normal (although she still tripped and fell a lot for some weird reason)!

Once upon a time, there was a very crazy teacher. He taught in a portable and didn't like how long it took kids to walk from his portable to the school! He didn't that it was faster if he picked up students and threw them to the school instead! This really sped up how fast the students moved, but also resulted in lots of bumps and bruises! Soon the kids in his class were very scared of asking to go to the washroom or the library. They didn't want to get thrown to the school!

One day, the very crazy teacher decided that throwing kids from the portable to the school wasn't good enough for him. He decided that he was going to build a catapult to launch them, with hopes of landing them directly in the second floor library, instead of them walking through the doors! The students in his class were very scared that they might get very hurt if this catapult was completed. Together they searched and searched for an answer. Eventually they remembered that there was a wizard who lived close by! After school one day they traveled to the wizard's house. His name was Sebastian the Great, and he promised them that he'd find a way to solve their 'catapult' problem!

The next day the very crazy teacher's catapult was completed. No student wanted to go to the washroom now! However, Aishwarya had forgotten to return her library books. The very crazy teacher decided that he would launch her from the portable into the library! Before the crazy teacher could do anything, there was a great puff of smoke, and Sebastian the Great appeared! He waved his magic wand, and a magic vortex sucked up the crazy teacher's catapult! Now there was no way that he could launch students from his portable to the school. Sebastian the Great then hypnotized the crazy teacher, and he no longer thought that washroom breaks and library trips were bad. From then on, students were allowed to walk to the school when they asked permission. The students were so happy that they cheered for Sebastian the Great, and even brought him presents!
