Sometimes he can be very naughty. But he is really a very nice monkey. Today, he meets two new friends. Sophie walks with Baba down the street towards Josh's house. Well, Sophie is walking. But Baba does not walk. He likes to run and jump and do cartwheels down the pavement. Sophie knocks on Josh's front door. Hmmm! No answer. "I wonder if Josh is in the garden behind his house." says Sophie. Baba is still doing cartwheels on the pavement. "Come on, Baba." says Sophie. She and Baba walk around to the garden behind Josh's house. Hmmm! No Josh. But Sophie hears Josh's voice. She looks up; his bedroom window is open. "Josh!" shouts Sophie. "Josh!" For once Baba stops running and jumping and doing cartwheels. He stands still and looks up at the window. The voice from Josh's bedroom stops. There he is! Josh pops his head out of his bedroom window. "Hi Sophie," says Josh. "Who is your new friend?" "This is Baba." answers Sophie. "Do you want to come out and play?"
"I can't," says Josh. "I have a problem in my bedroom." "What is it?" asks Sophie. She and Baba both look up at Josh. "I have an invisible tiger in my room!" "What!" say Sophie and Baba at the same time. "It's true," says Josh. "Come on up. The back door is open." So Sophie and Baba go through the back door of Josh's house. They go upstairs to his bedroom. Sophie knocks on Josh's bedroom door. He opens the door and says, "Quick! Come in fast!" Sophie and Baba go into Josh's bedroom and he closes the door quickly. Sophie says, "Josh - this is Baba. Baba - this is Josh." Then she asks, "Why do we have to come in quickly?""I don't want the tiger to escape," answers Josh. Sophie and Baba look at each other. Then they start to laugh. "Josh," says Sophie. "Are you sure you're okay? There's no tiger in here." Suddenly they hear a roar! "I am Lexa, the Tiger." says a voice. Sophie and Baba are scared. They jump back. Their mouths and their eyes are wide open. "See," says Josh. "There is a tiger in my bedroom." "And not just any tiger," says Lexa. "I am a special tiger." "Why are you special?" asks Baba. "And how do we know you're a tiger?" says Sophie. "We can't even see you." "Don't make her angry!" says Josh. "She is already in a bad mood." Lexa roars again. Josh and Sophie and Baba all take a step backwards. They are scared. "So you want to see me?" asks Lexa. "Watch this!" And suddenly, there she is, standing in Josh's bedroom; a very pretty tiger with beautiful stripes. Sophie and Baba and Josh all say, "Wow!" Lexa is pretty, but she is not happy. "Why are you in a bad mood?" asks Sophie. "Because my paw hurts," answers Lexa. "Let me see," says Sophie. Lexa puts out her paw and Sophie holds it. Sophie looks very closely at Lexa's paw. "I think I see the problem," says Sophie. "It's a thorn. "A thorn?" asks Lexa. "I can help you," says Sophie. She has small fingers so she can easily pull out the thorn. "Is that better now?" asks Sophie. "Yes," answers Lexa. "Thank you so much!" So now there is a new friend on the street. Sophie and Josh are so excited. They want to show their new friend Lexa to their other friend, Tom. They hope Lexa does not become invisible again!

Please share our books with your friends and family to support our mission. Thank you Click here to read more Free Children's books In the rainforest, next to a wide river, there grew a great banyan tree.
This tree was ancient and provided a home for the many animals living in the area. His home wasn't actually in the banyan tree but close enough. The tree
offered a cooling shade during the hot days and protection from the heavy rains that fell every afternoon. Now you must realize that not all animals in the rainforest are friends. They depend on one another for different things, many times for food. Henrietta Heron had built her nest by the river so she that would be close
to the food she usually ate. Her diet consisted of fish, frogs, crayfish, and even snails. She had a great home. Can you guess what Marty Mongoose liked to eat? Well if you said snakes, then you are absolutely correct. Marty liked to eat snakes of all types and sizes. One day, Henrietta was out looking for food. When she returned to her nest, she found that two of her eggs were gone. Oh, how sad she was! Something had gotten into her nest and eaten two of her precious eggs.
She flew back down to the river so no other birds would see her crying. Then she saw Marty and said to him, "Sam must have slithered into my nest and eaten two of my eggs." "That is a shame," Marty replied in a sad voice.
"Oh, what can I do?" Henrietta asked.
Now Marty knew that Henrietta, and the other herons, liked to eat crayfish
and, if there were an easy meal to be had, he was very interested. "So, you would like to get rid of that bothersome snake?" he asked Henrietta. "Oh, yes!" Henrietta sighed. "I wish something would eat him." "Henrietta, I can help you," Marty said excitedly. "You and your heron friends need to catch all the fish and crayfish in the area. Break them into pieces and leave a trail of food from Sam's den to my home. He will be busy eating the food and he will not realize that he is close to me. He will be an easy meal for me and you will be rid of his egg stealing ways." Henrietta thought for a minute, smiled, and then flew off to talk with the other herons. Soon the herons had captured all the fish, crayfish (even poor Carl) and made the trail of food between the snake's den and the home of the mongoose. Then they returned to their nests to watch. As Sam slithered out of his den, he was surprised to see all the fresh snacks just lying on the ground. "Yummy! Yummy!" he thought to himself as he began eating. It wasn't long before Sam had eaten his way to Marty's home. As Sam opened his mouth to eat the last snack, Marty jumped out of from
the bushes. Well, I don't have to tell you what happened because you
already know. But in case you don't, there was a big B-U-R-P and
Marty returned home. "Did you see that?" Henrietta asked the other herons. "Now our eggs are safe."
Several days passed. Marty was hungry but there were no snakes in the area. The other snakes saw how Sam had been tricked, so they left to find a safer home. Marty looked into the river and realized that the herons had taken
everything from it to set the trap. Then, he looked into the great banyan tree
and saw Henrietta.
The other herons saw Marty climbing the tree but it was too late
to warn Henrietta. All they could do was leave their nests and, like the snakes, find a safer home. Now Marty was alone. There was no food in the area, and no reason for him to stay in his nice home, protected by the great banyan tree. The great banyan tree is now empty of all life. But there is a circle-of-life in the rainforest and it won't be long before new animals arrive at the banyan tree, and call it "home".

Bill is on a bullying spree. He believes that he is the strongest animal on the farm and that gives him the right to do as he pleases. But the farm animals decide to stop him in his tracks by ................. a great tale that moves at a quick pace, keeping the reader engrossed right to the end.

Farmer Fred had just bought a new bull. He named him Bill. Bill was a strong and handsome bull with great horns. He was very big for his age. Farmer Fred got Bill, the bull loaded into the trailer, and headed back home to his farm. When they arrived, Farmer Fred said, "Bill, welcome to your new home." Bill just snorted and tossed his head back to show off his impressive horns.

This was all new to Bill as he was raised in a small stall and his new home was very different. He had a lot to explore. Bill stood on the hill and watched all the barnyard animals. He thought to himself. "I am the biggest animal on Farmer Fred's farm. No other animal has such great horns."

Bill chuckled at the chickens as he slowly walked up to them. They were so small and they didn't have horns. As Bill approached, the chickens clucked. The lone duck, ducked, as Bill almost stepped on her.

Bill lowered his head and quickly shook it from side to side right in front of the chickens. "I'm Bill, the bull and I'm bigger than you chubby chickens," he said in a deep voice. "And I am the boss of the barnyard." Bill, the bull, frightened the chickens. They rapidly ran, flipped, flopped and, flew, to the safety of their cozy coupe. This made Bill, the bull, laugh loudly. He was having fun.

Bill saw some plump pigs moving in the mud and decided to play a prank.
As he approached, he said loudly, "I heard Farmer Fred say that he needed some bacon for breakfast and ham for dinner." He then laughed loudly and tossed his head around showing off his great horns.

This frightened many of the pigs and they proceeded to their pen for protection.
The biggest pig, named Pork Chop, walked up to Bill and said. "You are a very mean bull, Bill." Bill snorted a reply. "Well, you have a big, flat nose, a tornado tail and pink ears. Also, you are dirty, and smelly" Then Bill lowered his head, snorted a great snort,and shook his horns at Pork Chop.

Pork Chop was a wise old pig and knew what Bill was doing. He wouldn't be bullied by any bull, even Bill. Now, Bill, the bullying bull, was expecting Pork Chop to mush through the mud and proceed to the pen for protection. But Pork Chop just stood there looking at him. Then Pork Chop said in a soft voice.
"You are a very mean bull, Bill," and walked away

Then, Bill saw some sheep in the meadow. Bill began to walk across the big barnyard towards them. When he got there, he was met by the Roger Ram, the leader of the flock."I'm Roger Ram, rejoicing at meeting my newest neighbor on Farmer Fred's farm," he said in a very polite manner. Bill ran at Roger Ram, snorting and shaking his big horns and said, "I am Bill, the bull.I am the boss of the barnyard."In a split second, Roger Ram, rammed Bill the bullying bull, between his big horns.

Bill, the bullying bull, looked at Roger Ram and said. "All that white curly hair, might give you lots of flair, but you ram like a ewe." Then Bill backed up, started to paw at the ground with his hefty hooves, snorted seven snorts, shook his horns, lowered his now lumpy head, and............Roger Ram and the others retreated from the meadow. Bill, the bullying bull, was proud of what he had done.

All the barnyard animals were afraid of Bill. He was either threatening them with his size and big horns or making fun of the way they looked. It was not a pleasant day on Farmer Fred's farm. "I am going to call him Bully Bill,"
said Henrietta Hen.

"That's not nice," responded Roy Rooster. "It's being a bully yourself."
"Well, we will work on something to stop his bullying," replied Toby Turtle.
Roger Ram said, "I don't know what we can do? I rammed him and he called me a ewe."

Dorothy Duck said, "He almost stepped on me with those heavy hooves. No one is safe!" With tears in her eyes, little Patty Piglet said, "I heard, I was going to be eaten by Farmer Fred. I'm scared." Pork Chop said in a soft and soothing tone, "Don't worry my friends. By the evening feed by Farmer Fred, Bill, the bullying bull, will become our buddy."

Bill was having so much fun. He certainly was the boss of the barnyard.
He looked around and saw a big barn, with open doors, and he just had to let whoever lived there know that he was boss of the barnyard. It was a bright sunny day but as Bill walked into the dark barn, he couldn't see anything.
This frightened him a little. He turned the corner around the door and ... BOOM ... he was stopped in mid stride. Bill realized that he had just walked into something really big. So big, it didn't move when he walked into it.

As Bill's eyes adjusted to the darkness in the barn, he started to see what had stopped him. He was looking at the chest of some big animal. Bill was scared.
As he looked up, he could see the biggest bull, with the biggest horns, staring down at him. A voice like thunder filled the barn. "I finally get to meet Bill, the boss of the barnyard."Now Bill didn't know what to do or what to say. All he could do was look up at this giant and wonder what would happen next. There was silence in the barn for several minutes as Bill just looked up in amazement. Finally, the big bull said something.

"I am Brian Bull and have lived on Farmer Fred's farm for many, many, years. In all those years, never have the other animals asked me for help.But today, they came to me with the story of a big bull that was bullying them and they asked me to put an end to it. I agreed!" Bill was never, ever, so frightened. Brian could toss him across the barnyard, with little effort, and one push from his head. Brian slowly lowered his head. Bill looked down and began to shake. Brian got closer and whispered into Bill's ear."What do you think I should do, Bill? I promised the other animals I would put a stop to your bullying."

"I have never been so frightened in my life and I know how the other animals must have felt." Bill began to sob a little."I now know how it feels to be bullied and you didn't even really bully me. I have learned my lesson and I will go out and apologize to all the animals and ask them to forgive me

"You don't have to," Brian said. "You already have." As Bill turned around, he saw all the other animals standing in the doorway.

"Here pig-pig-pig, come on chick-chick ...." The animals heard Farmer Fred calling them for the evening feed.

Pork Chop walked over to Bill and said. "Come on, buddy. Let's eat."

Please share our books with your friends and family to support our mission. Thank you Click here to read more Free Children's books Once upon a time, there lived a monkey who had no home of his own. They called him 'Springs', for he always walked with a bounce in his steps. He had sold everything he owned, and with that money, he had started traveling the world. He wanted to see the world's smallest and biggest wonders. He traveled from village to village, town to town, and offered his services- to do work in exchange for food and shelter. He was a happy monkey and he loved helping people. One day, he passed through the village of Zver, where twenty animals lived. He saw an old beaver. so he walked towards him and said "Hello, Mr. beaver. If I was to do some garden work for you today, would you be so kind as to give me something to eat." The old beaver agreed and asked Springs to do some gardening and fix up a few things around the house. It was a long and tiring day for Springs but enjoyed his day. When springs returned to the house in the evening, the whole village had gathered there. There was a lot of food put out on the large wooden table and everybody was celebrating as though a hero had come to their small village. They all had a great time that night; it was like a big party. There was dancing and lots food and Springs really enjoyed his evening. The following morning when Springs was ready to leave, the old beaver approached Springs with tears in his eyes and said, "Thank you for joining us for dinner. Please come back whenever you have time. I have two boys around your age who I have not seen in 10 years. Spending time with you reminded me of my boys." Springs did not know what to say so he just hugged the Beaver, just like he would his father, and set off on his way with a promise to return one day. Springs had been walking for some time and was tired. He saw two highway robbers who pushed him down and took his bag away. When the robbers looked in his bag they only found a rope, some tools, and some bread. They threw his bag on the ground and ran away. Springs picked up his backpack and continued on his journey. He started to think about all the good and bad in the world. The road was long and winding and finally led him to a dark forest. The only way he could continue his journey was to walk through the forest. Springs walked for more than an hour and then he realised he was lost. He decided to climb up a tree to relax and eat some of the bread the villagers had given him. Suddenly Springs heard some voices shouting for help.
He climbed down from the tree and ran in the direction the voices were coming from. Springs reached the place the voices were coming from. Springs reached the place the voices were coming from. He saw that the two robbers who had pushed him earlier that day were trapped inside a deep hole in the ground. They were both trapped and couldn't get out, and were yelling for help. Springs quickly reached into his backpack and grabbed the rope that was inside. He tied one end of the rope to a tree and threw the other end inside the hole. The robbers both quickly climbed up the rope to safety. The robbers were amazed that Springs had saved them. One robber asked "Why did you help us? We pushed you and tried to rob you earlier!". Springs replied "There are good people and bad people in this world. The good people do good things and bad people do bad things. I have decided to be one of the good people." The two robbers were amazed by Springs' reply. Springs told the robbers, "I have traveled far and wide, seen happiness as well as sorrow. I have met all kinds of people; good, bad, old, and young. I have experienced all sorts of bad things, but I have always tried to do only good things." As Springs was leaving, he gave the two robbers some bread with a smile and said, "I hope what I have said today will help you realize that there is always a way to live without causing harm to others."

"Hi! My name is Samuel and I want to be a scientist. You may be wondering why and my answer is simple. I am amazed at all the wonderful things like rockets to the Moon, fire trucks pumping out all that water, fast race cars, space ships, and the list goes on. But those are big things and I just don't understand everything about them yet.
I also wonder about small things like-how does sugar turn into crystals called rock candy? Or how are those rock formations in caves made? Hmm - I know it has something to do with Science.
My sister Samantha wants to be a scientist too, but she likes things that I don't-like why her dolls eyes open and close. But even though we don't like the same things, it's still Science so we get along just fine. In fact, our teachers help us better understand Math,
technology, current events and trends - all of which are important. We even help each other and have lots of fun.

I like to experiment or take things apart to see how they work. No matter what I do, I tell my mom or dad what I am going to be doing and sometimes even ask for their help. I would never just do something - I could get hurt.
Sometimes it's best to start small, that's what I did. I remember my first experiment in detail and it was a lot of fun to do. It had to do with growing small crystals, much like the way rock candy is made. You may be wondering why that is important and all I can say is that it's the basis for making any type of crystal. Their shape and size depends on many things and the more you read about them, the more you experiment, the more you grow interesting crystals.
Try this experiment; I call it The Crystal Bowl. It's lots of fun and there is nothing dangerous about it. Because I am using a common chemical I let my mom know what I am doing.
Here is what you need:
* A small clear bowl to grow the crystals in
* Epsom salt (a common chemical)
* Food coloring
* A measuring cup

The Experiment :In the clear bowl, stir ½ cup of Epsom salts with ½ cup of very hot tap water. The hotter, the better.
Stir for at least 1 minute. You will be making a saturated solution (scientific talk)-meaning that the water cannot hold any more of the Epsom salts. Some undissolved salt crystals will be at the bottom of the bowl.
Add a couple of drops of your favorite food coloring. I like red.
Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. I put a sign on the bowl - Samantha-Do Not Eat! (I'm so funny.)
Take out your bowl of crystals and pour out the extra water that may be at the bottom. Have fun examining them.

Okay, it's time to get Scientific. What just happened? You just made Magnesium sulfate crystals. Magnesium sulfate is the actual name for Epsom salt.
The temperature of the water determines just how much Magnesium sulfate it can hold. The hotter the water, the more it can hold, and the more crystals it can grow.

So why did we put it in the refrigerator? By rapidly cooling the water we forced fast crystal growth. The quickly cooling water became denser and made the Magnesium sulfate atoms run into each other joining together into crystal structures.
When you grow crystals this way they will be small, thin, and a lot of them. If you let the water evaporate slowly you will get different crystals. You will have to experiment to see the results.
That is Science! Oh, don't forget to clean up any mess and ask your mom or dad to really clean anything you might reuse.
Have you ever seen those really neat formations in a cave? They are commonly called stalactites (they grow from the top of the cave down) and stalagmites (that grow from the cave floor up).
Want to make some? I'll bet you do!

Again there is nothing dangerous, but let your mom or dad know what you are doing. This experiment takes some time and could get a little messy.
Here is what you need:
* Two glass jars
* A large plate or pan
* Baking soda
* String
* Paper clips
* Water

The Experiment : Fill the two jars with hot water. The hotter, the better.
Stir in as much baking soda as will dissolve in the water. Mix it up well and make that saturated solution.
Cut the string so it can go close to the bottom of the jars and go between them when they are several inches apart. Then tie a paper clip to each end to act as weights.
Put one end of the weighted string into each of the jars.
Place the jars on the large plate or pan, making sure the string has a little dip in the center. The plate or pan is needed to catch the drips of your scientific solution.
Put your experiment in a safe place for 3 to 4 weeks. Keep an eye on it and watch your formation grow.

What has happened? The saturated solution is carried through the string. This process is called capillary action.
When it gets to the dip in the string it drips onto the plate or pan. It is similar to water passing through the ground, picking up minerals, and falling through a cave. Over time the dripping water evaporates and creates stalactites and stalagmites.

It's magic! Well, actually it is Science and takes place all over the world.
Science is fun and I am glad I am going to be a scientist.Maybe you'll decide to be one too."

Please share our books with your friends and family to support our mission. Thank you Click here to read more Free Children's books Sophia was excited. She was now in the 2nd grade and it was her first day of school.
As she finished her breakfast, she looked out of the window and saw all her friends waiting for the bus.
"Mommy, can I ride the bus?" she asked. "Yes," mommy said.Sophia was even more excited. She jumped up from the table to go to the bus stop. Then her Mommy said, "Yes, you can ride the bus next week but I'll walk with you to school for the first week." Sophia was sad and confused. She thought her Mommy said she could ride the bus but then kind of changed the answer.
Sophia wondered why her Mommy just didn't say "no". At least then she wouldn't have gotten so excited. "Oh well," Sophia sighed. "Let's go, it is a long walk."
Several days later, the music teacher talked with Sophia's class.
She explained about all the instruments and had the 3rd graders demonstrate each of them.
Sophia heard the flute and thought that it made the prettiest sound she had ever heard. "Can I play the flute?" Sophia asked. "Well, that depends," replied the music teacher. "First, you need to get your parents' permission, and then join the band. You also need to know that learning to play the flute, or any instrument, takes a lot of hard work.

Now, if you are willing to put in the work and you parents let you join the band, then the answer is YES. And I would be happy to have you join. We need another good flutist." Sophia was so excited and couldn't wait to ask her mommy.

School was over and as Sophia walked out of the door, she saw her mommy waiting. She ran down the sidewalk, yelling out "I want to play the flute. Can I play the flute? I want to join the band."

"Calm down, Sophia." her mommy said. Sophia took a deep breath, counted to three, and said, "Can I please play the flute in the school band?"

"Yes, of course you can," her Mommy replied.
Oh, Sophia was so very happy. She had gotten permission and was now going to play the flute in the band.

Her Mommy then said, "Yes, you can play an instrument just like I did.
The tuba is a great instrument and you can even have mine. The same one I used when I was in band."

Oh, poor Sophia, she was so sad. She wanted to play the flute, not the tuba.
Sophia just didn't understand why her Mommy said "yes" when she asked but really meant "no". At least "no" for the instrument Sophia really wanted to play.

"Maybe I won't join the band," Sophia said in a low, sad voice. "Well, that's up to you," her Mommy replied.

As Sophia finished her breakfast, she looked out the window and saw all her friends waiting for the bus. She was so very excited. This was a special day.

The week was up and she could ride the bus with all her friends. She squirmed in her chair as she gulped down the last mouthful of milk.

"Bye mommy!" she squealed as she ran towards the door. "And if I can't ride the bus, please say NO. It is easier for me to understand."

Deep in the New Forest where no big people ever went there was a tiny little magical village called the Ordon Gardens. Here, three little tooth fairies named Incisor, Canine and Molar were busy at work in their factory. The three tooth fairies were all named after types of teeth.
Incisor was tall and skinny with short pink hair, Canine was also tall with blue hair and Molar was the short, wise one with curly, silver locks.
All day long the busy little fairies cleaned and shined the children's milk teeth they had collected during the night. The milk teeth were used to make very useful things in the Ordon Gardens like roads in the village and furniture in the homes for the little fairies. One day Incisor realised that the teeth coming into the cleaning factory were not as strong as they used be.
"Oh dear!" said Incisor "These teeth are fragile and brittle, with holes and black spots. They crumble as soon as I try to polish them with my cloth. Whatever are we to do?" "Yes."said Canine "I know exactly what's wrong, The children are beginning to eat far too many sweets and are not looking after their teeth at all." "I know...we can fix it!" Said Molar the wise one. She sounded quite excited by her grand idea. The three fairies looked at each other and waited while Molar explained all. As usual, it was a fabulous idea. The three of them wasted no time at all and got to work straight away. That night, it was Canine's turn to fly off and collect all the milk teeth from under the sleeping children's pillow. Off she flew with a bag of coins, some white berry sandwiches for her lunch and a pack of cards which the three fairies had spent all afternoon preparing. It was such a treat to leave the forest and see the city skyline but it was a dangerous place for fairies. Canine had to make sure that the big people never saw her.
She flew through the starry sky and saw the wonderful city fast asleep.
Her first stop was a young boy named Junior.

Earlier in the night Junior and his mum had placed his milk tooth under the pillow. Mummy tucked Junior into bed and told him all about the tooth fairy who would leave some money in exchange for his tooth. She gave him a goodnight kiss and left him to fall asleep.

By the time Canine arrived, Junior was fast asleep. She flew in through the top window that was ajar and glided quickly down to Junior's pillow. She perched beside him and braced herself in preparation for the task...

"Heave........" she lifted the pillow and wedged herself between the pillow and the bed. She quickly grabbed the tooth and tossed it over to her backpack.

She placed two coins and the fairy's special card in exchange under the
pillow and flew off into the night sky to find more milk teeth.

In the morning, as soon as Junior woke up, he rummaged under the pillow to see if the tooth fairy had left any money for him.
He was thrilled to find the coins but looked blankly at the card he found in his hand. Mummy didn't mention anything about a card...he wondered.

He read the card out aloud...
The Tooth Fairy's guide to healthy teeth:
1.Eat Healthy.
2.Cut down on sugary sweets & drinks.
3.Brush your teeth twice a day.
4.Use a fluoride toothpaste.
5.Visit the Dentist regularly.

Back in the village of Ordon Gardens, the fairies were very happy about the new information card they were giving to the children. Soon enough the milk teeth coming into the factory were strong and healthy again.

Ending of the story Cindrella if her glass slipper didn't fall off

# data[].attributes.body
This is Cindrella. I like this story so much!
Now I'll twist the tale....... What if the glass slipper didn't fall??? I have a good ending in which Cindrella's glass slipper didn't fall.

At 12 AM Cindrella ran away from the castle but the glass slipper didn't fall. The prince saw her running away but he didn't see where she went. In the morning Prince Charming sent some of his messengers to find Cindrella, this was announced and lady Tremain locked Cindrella in a room at the roof. When the messengers came to Cindrella's house they saw lady Tremain's two daughter's but they didn't look like the girl they were searching for which is Cindrella. They asked lady Tremain " are there any other girls in here? " lady Tremian replied " no, only me and my two daughters are in here" the messengers leaved the house but Cindrella throwed the glass slippers through the window and the messengers saw it. One of the messengers looked up and saw Cindrella, he informed the second messenger that there is a girl in the room at the roof. They quickly went inside the house and went to Cindrella's room. She looked just like how Prince charming said how she looks like. Cindrella went with the messengers to the castle and married Prince charming and lived happily ever after.

Once there was a Farmer called Fred. He bought a new bull and named him Bill, he things that he was the strongest animal on the farm. Bill was a strong and handsome bull with great horns. Farmer Fred got Bill, the bull loaded into the trailer, and headed back home to his farm. When they arrived, Farmer Fred said, “Bill, welcome to your new home.” Bill just snorted and tossed his head back to show off his impressive horns. Farmer Fred got Bill, the bull loaded into the trailer, and headed back home to his farm. When they arrived, Farmer Fred said, “Bill, welcome to your new home.” Bill just snorted and tossed his head back to show off Farmer Fred got Bill, the bull loaded into the trailer, and headed back home to his farm. When they arrived, Farmer Fred said, “Bill, welcome to your new home.” Bill just snorted and tossed his head back to show off his impressive horns. This was all new to Bill as he was raised in a small stall and his new home was very different. He had a lot to explore. Bill stood on the hill and watched all the barnyard animals. He thought to himself. “I am the biggest animal on Farmer Fred’s farm. No other animal has such great horns.” Bill chuckled at the chickens as he slowly walked up to them. They were so small and they didn’t have horns.  As Bill approached, the chickens clucked. The lone duck, ducked, as Bill almost stepped on her. He said that " I’m Bill, the bull and I’m bigger than you chubby chickens,” he said in a deep voice. “And I am the boss of the barnyard. the got afraid and ran away from him ,he got happy when he saw the all animals in the farm was ran away and he laughed loudly. He was having fun. Some pigs planed to prank Bill . As he approached, he said loudly, “I heard Farmer Fred say that he needed some bacon for breakfast and ham for dinner.” He then laughed loudly and tossed his head around showing off his great horns. When he said this pigs got afraid and they proceeded to their pen for protection. The biggest pig, named Pork Chop, walked up to Bill and said. “You are a very mean bull, Bill.” Bill snorted a reply. “Well, you have a big, flat nose, a tornado tail and pink ears. Also, you are dirty, and smelly” Then Bill lowered his head, snorted a great snort, and shook his horns at Pork Chop. Pork Chop was a wise old pig and knew what Bill was doing. He wouldn’t be bullied by any bull, even Bill. Now, Bill, the bullying bull, was expecting Pork Chop to mush through the mud and proceed to the pen for protection. But Pork Chop just stood there looking at him. Then Pork Chop said in a soft voice.
“You are a very mean bull, Bill,” and walked away. Then, Bill saw some sheep in the meadow. Bill began to walk across the big barnyard towards them. When he got there, he was met by the Roger Ram, the leader of the flock. “I’m Roger Ram, rejoicing at meeting my newest neighbor on Farmer Fred’s farm,” he said in a very polite manner. Bill ran at Roger Ram, snorting and shaking his big horns and said, “I am Bill, the bull. I am the boss of the barnyard. ”In a split second, Roger Ram, rammed Bill the bullying bull, between his big horns. Bill, the bullying bull, looked at Roger Ram and said. “All that white curly hair, might give you lots of flair, but you ram like a ewe.” Then Bill backed up, started to paw at the ground with his hefty hooves, snorted seven snorts, shook his horns, lowered his now lumpy head, and Roger Ram and the others retreated from the meadow. Bill, the bullying bull, was proud of what he had done. All the barnyard animals were afraid of Bill. He was either threatening them with his size and big horns or making fun of the way they looked. It was not a pleasant day on Farmer Fred’s farm. “I am going to call him Bully Bill,” said Henrietta Hen. “That’s not nice,” responded Roy Rooster. “It’s being a bully yourself.”
“Well, we will work on something to stop his bullying,” replied Toby Turtle. Roger Ram said, “I don’t know what we can do? I rammed him and he called me a ewe.” Dorothy Duck said, “He almost stepped on me with those heavy hooves. No one is safe!” With tears in her eyes, little Patty Piglet said, “I heard, I was going to be eaten by Farmer Fred. I’m scared.” Pork Chop said in a soft and soothing tone, “Don’t worry my friends. By the evening feed by Farmer Fred, Bill, the bullying bull, will become our buddy.” Bill was having so much fun. He certainly was the boss of the barnyard. He looked around and saw a big barn, with open doors, and he just had to let whoever lived there know that he was boss of the barnyard. It was a bright sunny day but as Bill walked into the dark barn, he couldn’t see anything. This frightened him a little. He turned the corner around the door and … BOOM … he was stopped in mid stride. Bill realized that he had just walked into something really big. So big, it didn’t move when he walked into it. As Bill’s eyes adjusted to the darkness in the barn, he started to see what had stopped him. He was looking at the chest of some big animal. Bill was scared.
As he looked up, he could see the biggest bull, with the biggest horns, staring down at him. A voice like thunder filled the barn. “I finally get to meet Bill, the boss of the barnyard.” Now Bill didn’t know what to do or what to say. All he could do was look up at this giant and wonder what would happen next. There was silence in the barn for several minutes as Bill just looked up in amazement. Finally, the big bull said something. “I am Brian Bull and have lived on Farmer Fred’s farm for many, many, years. In all those years, never have the other animals asked me for help. But today, they came to me with the story of a big bull that was bullying them and they asked me to put an end to it. I agreed!” Bill was never, ever, so frightened. Brian could toss him across the barnyard, with little effort, and one push from his head. Brian slowly lowered his head. Bill looked down and began to shake. Brian got closer and whispered into Bill’s ear. “What do you think I should do, Bill? I promised the other animals I would put a stop to your bullying.” “I have never been so frightened in my life and I know how the other animals must have felt.” Bill began to sob a little.“ I now know how it feels to be bullied and you didn’t even really bully me. I have learned my lesson and I will go out and apologize to all the animals and ask them to forgive me “You don’t have to,” Brian said. “You already have.” As Bill turned around, he saw all the other animals standing in the doorway. “Here pig-pig-pig, come on chick-chick ….” The animals heard Farmer Fred calling them for the evening feed. Pork Chop walked over to Bill and said. “Come on, buddy. Let’s eat.”
