Chapter 1

Buttercup

Ring ring! The alarm went off and Crenoosy woke up. She turned off the alarm. Today was an exciting day. Crenoosy was going to ride on the Buttercup ship. She and her parents got ready and headed down to the sea to board Buttercup. 

Toot! The ship moved and off it rode! At times Buttercup would tip but then the waves would settle down and it would be a smooth ride again. During dinner at least one person a night would spit out their food because they did not like it. Life on the Buttercup was nice and sometimes they would melt butter in a cup for snack. At night the ship would rock back and forth and put all the passengers to sleep very quickly. 

Chapter 2

The Storm

In the early morning a storm was throwing Buttercup off track but then the storm died down like the waves did and it was a smooth ride once again. “Iceberg!” yelled the conductor. 

Creek! The ship turned hard but still scraped against the iceberg. Then came the tremendous bump and the ship started to sink. By that time all the passengers were awake and on the deck. The captain ran downstairs to get the life boats but to his surprise there were only five life boats! He took the life boats to the deck and loaded as many people as possible. 

Chairs were being flung everywhere and only one chair fell into the ocean. Everyone was being flung into the water. The life boats paddled away and the boat was left to sink with many hollering people. Crenoosy and her parents were flung into the water as well. But only Crenoosy landed on the chair. 

After the ship had sunk and the life boats were out of sight and everything was gone, she tried to paddle with her hands but it was not easy. She reached into the water and caught fish with her bare hands. She found a stick and used it to cut the fish. She ate the fish very raw. She drank the sea water and that night she slept on the chair.

Chapter 3

The Island

When Crenoosy woke up she was in a small storm. As the storm continued Crenoosy began to see land! When the storm stopped, Crenoosy was a short distance away from an island! She felt a sense of relief.

She paddled over to the island. The chair rocked back and forth while Crenoosy paddled. When she finally made it to the island she felt sad and lonely. She missed her friends, but most of all, she missed her mom and dad. Crenoosy decided that she needed a family so she raced to the children’s adoption center. She met a family and was then adopted by two very nice grownups that had a little boy for Crenoosy to play with. He was just about her age. They became friends and Crenoosy lived a happy life. And that is the end of the tale. 

Bunny's Adventure

       Bunny woke up one wet and cold morning. There was dew everywhere. It was very silent. The wind blew against bunny’s fur. Bunny shivered. He really did need to run away. If he did not, he would have to stay and work another miserable day serving his wicked owners. 
So bunny crept along the fence and dug a hole under the fence. Bunny quickly got on the other side of the fence, then he covered the hole with dirt. Bunny looked far beyond where he was and saw lots of creatures crawling around. Then bunny looked even further and there it was; the place where he grew up down in that wonderful valley.
Bunny stared for a moment then hopped down the path that lead to the magical valley. Ladybugs, squirrels, insects, and all types of animals were running across the path. When Bunny reached the end of the path, there it was; the wide open, magical valley. 
It was all his. His father had once owned the valley, but then he died and the valley was given to bunny. But one night a nasty human came to the valley and took Bunny away. Bunny did not remember the way back to his palace. He asked a kind gopher which way to go. The gopher said the palace had been destroyed and the servants and guards had left and the pesky ants took the last royal dessert to their queen to celebrate her birthday. 
Bunny was very mad and decided to make a new palace. But the palace had been made out of stone and minerals which had been stolen from the great Marguny, by the most powerful wizard who was now long dead.
But where had the stone and minerals gone? Bunny wondered. The castle had been made with mountains of minerals and stones. If the minerals and stones had been made into a palace, how could they just disappear? Bunny continued to wonder.
Then he saw it; the twinkle on the sand. The sandy path was twinkling. Bunny dug on the twinkling sandy path. The twinkling was buried minerals and stone! Bunny dug and dug. He started to rebuild the glittering palace. He spent his days shining the minerals and stone. Soon part of a palace was glittering. Bunny almost had his palace back!
    He was having a wonderful time. The stone and minerals were so shiny! After two months the palace was built. It had a stone path and a new chandelier. Bunny built the royal furniture. He found a very big and soft leaf for the royal bed. Bunny made royal keys for the palace. He found a shiny rock and kept it. He locked the palace and set off to find guards and servants. He looked for many days and finally found them. 
The guards and servants were crying and thinking. They still missed the royal bunny.  Bunny cried: “I have come back from the wicked mountains where the nasty human took me. I have built a new palace, so please guard me and serve me.” The guards and servants stood in amazement and did as bunny had told them. 
For a while, Bunny was happy, but then he remembered what his father had told him: When you are king like I am, you must adopt a child bunny to be king so when you die there will still be a king. Bunny had been adopted and now it was his turn to adopt someone. 
So one day Bunny set out to adopt a child. The child was the last piece to the puzzle. He looked for a long time and then finally gave up. As Bunny sadly walked home, he heard a sobbing noise. He followed the noise and found a boy child. He asked the bunny what was wrong and the child said he was lost. Bunny asked him if he wanted to come to the palace and become the new king when Bunny died and the child said yes. 
So Bunny brought the the bunny home. He found out that his name was Carryoky. That was the same name as Bunny’s father! 
From that day on, until Bunny died, Bunny and Carryoky lived a very happy life.
