Fluffy's Dangerous Journey

" Fluffy stop daydreaming and pay attention!" " This is important information you need to

know," said the teacher. Fluffy, who had been daydreaming, brought his attention back to

the teacher. "huh what" he said? He had been dreaming about a big juicy carrot that he

had brought with him. The carrot was sitting next to him waiting for him to eat it. He was

embarrassed that he had been caught daydreaming during class! He was even more embarrassed 

when all the other rabbit students started to laugh. Fluffy would get into trouble

because he daydreamed a lot, which was why the teacher was upset at him again! Fluffy

just couldn't help himself  he got bored when the teacher would talk about which plants

to eat and which ones to stay away from. The teacher also taught them which plants not

to rub against throughout the woods so they wouldn't get Poison Ivy. "Now that we have you back"

said the teacher "I need to tell you something important.""Nobody may go out of the forest to the 

farmer's house."  Fluffy, who had been there many times to get carrots or eat the little shoots above 

the ground in the farmers garden, wondered why so he asked, "why can't we go?" To which the 

teacher replied, " it's dangerous!"  All the students with the exception of Fluffy, obeyed. Fluffy despite 

the warning decided to go to the farmers garden anyway.  Fluffy set out right after class. He went 

across a log covered with moss, along the clear river and among the pink lilies. A gentle breeze 

ruffled Fluffy's thick black fur. "The breeze smelled of the forest he was leaving behind. The smell 

almost made him turn around and go home,but he pushed the thought out of  his head and kept 

going. He went around a rock, by a beehive and behind a tree that looks like a four.  Then he went 

down beneath the ground into a tunnel and beyond the forest. Fluffy finally arrived at the farmers 

faded green house. The house was faded due to the years it had been there. In spite of the warning 

from the teacher, Fluffy went into the farmers garden. The garden had beets below the ground also 

underneath the ground were the carrots, which were Fluffy's favorite. In addition to all this there were 

many other  varieties of vegetables. After  he had been eating for a while he noticed a shiny box. The 

box had never been there before on the other times he had been to the garden. Fluffy went over to 

investigate. He was curious! What was this weird shiny box? A wise rabbit would have run away but 

because of his curiosity he went closer and closer until he was within the shiny box. At the back of 

the shiny box he noticed a big juicy carrot and started to eat it. What he didn't realize was that while 

he ate the carrot the door had shut. He was trapped like a sparrow who couldn't fly. In regard to who

had put the trap out it was the farmer. The farmer was tired of rabbits going under his fence and 

eating his crops.The farmer wanted to protect his garden and besides he knew a pet store owner that 

 would pay money for any rabbits the farmer caught. He was especially happy when he came out the 

next day and saw Fluffy in the trap. The farmer took the cage with the very scared Fluffy into the barn.

The barn smelled of animal manure and hay. Fluffy stayed in the barn until it was noon.  While 

eating breakfast the farmer had called the pet store owner. The pet store owner settled a price and 

time to pick up Fluffy. At noon Fluffy was taken out of the barn and put into the back of a truck. 

Aboard the truck where other items that slid towards Fluffy hitting the cage. The cage was banged up

when the pet store owner picked it up out of  his truck. He took Fluffy along with the other items into 

his pet store. The pet store owner took Fluffy out of the cage and put him in a glass display case 

along with another rabbit. The other rabbit asked Fluffy where he was from and what his name was. 

Fluffy told his story to the rabbit and when he was done the rabbit who was named Jo said, " Then I 

will help you escape!"  "How will we escape though? " asked Fluffy "Every day the pet store owner 

cleans the cages and to clean them he takes us out in the front or the store in a brown box!" Jo said

   Fluffy asked "How does this help us?"  "We can tip the box and be free!" exclaimed Jo. A day later 

Fluffy and Jo were put in a box, then they were taken outside and put on the sidewalk. Fluffy and Jo 

had their chance. They ran around from one side towards another crashing into the walls of the box. 

Upon the third try the box tipped over and they were free!  According to a customer they ran off very 

fast. Fluffy and Jo ran alongside a road, between the cars and instead of going through the farmers 

garden in case of the trap being out, went without stopping to the mouth of  Fluffy's house. They 

went down a tunnel, about five feet into the ground until they were safe in the den. Fluffy had learned 

his lesson!  He doesn't go to the farmers house because it's dangerous and he's learned to always 

listen to his teachers. For years now, he has been growing his own carrots. He doesn't go up to the 

farmers garden or anywhere near it any more.  Fluffy passes his story unto the young rabbit 

students, hoping they won't make the same mistake he made. There's always one rabbit in every 

crowd daydreaming who won't heed the warning though!

The Troll Princess!

In a land far away,dogs barked and growled vicious growls.  Behind the dogs ran soldiers trying to 

keep up.  The dogs raced through the  thick underbrush and over a fallen log.  Ahead of the dogs ran 

five trolls  one carrying a baby.  The baby was pretty and when compared to others they all fell short. 

 She had black hair ,soft pink lips ,and a perfect  hue of tan skin.  Although she was little she was 

strong not frail.  After all she was a princess! As the dogs cornered the trolls the trolls threw poison 

dart fruit at the dogs, who one by one died or lay down sick.  By the time the soldiers arrived at the 

tree the trolls had disappeared. Although the soldiers searched and searched the were sadly unable 

to find the trolls or the baby princess.  Even as the soldiers admitted defeat the trolls ran under 

ground in an ancient secret tunnel.  Emerging at the end of the long tunnel they came upon the 

mouth of a huge waterfall, where they sat down to discuss what they would do with the princess.  As 

they talked they discussed the best way to hurt both the King and Queen the most they could, since 

the king and queen had  taken over their precious land which was inhabited by many animals good 

for eating.  The oldest troll suggested that they eat the baby, he figured it would be a great joy to see 

the King's and Queen's faces when they found out that their precious baby girl had gotten eaten by a 

horse manure,smelling troll.  Gray the oldest at 200 was overwhelmed by the other four shouting 

their agreements all together at the same time.  The others though not as old as Gray,where young 

by comparison.  The  four were named Elf Eater,Smarty,Camouflage and Water Bender. Elf Eater 

hence her name liked to kill and eat elf's both young and old.  After not having eaten in a whole 

month,to travel to Leaf City, so they could steal the princess all of the troll were very hungry.  Smarty 

 was a proud fool.  He thought himself to be the smartest even though the other trolls told him he 

was stupid.  Smarty when asked a simple question,such as two plus two answered “4,500!”. 

 Camouflage was the best at hiding.  When he wanted to,his friend or enemies could look right at him

without them ever seeing him.  Water bender the youngest could make water weapons such as  a 

sword,javelin  and many others.  Even as young as he was he was the best fighter.  After taking a 

few moments they decided to make a princess stew.  Gray sent the four trolls to gather stuff to put in 

the stew.  While Gray found firewood and made a pot to cook the stew in.  A Elephant bird(named 

that,since it's body was so huge) flew over head and spotted the princess as a potential meal.  The

Elephant bird swooped down and reached out it's needle sharp claws to snatch the baby,but it 

missed and knocked the baby into the water.  Gray turned just in time to see a swift current  carry 

the baby over the waterfall.  The four trolls and Gray decided that a baby could  not live after such a 

fall,so they left to pillage a village.  As the baby lay at the bottom of the waterfall it finally awoke cold 

and hungry.  It started crying.  A young maid who was on her way to work heard the baby crying and 

took pity on the baby.  She took the princess to town with her . She  asked “if the townspeople new 

who's child this was” but nobody new.  So the maid bought some milk and a warm blanket .  As the 

she fed the baby she fell in love with the baby and decided to keep the baby to raise as her own.  It 

was such a miracle that the baby survived a fall over the waterfall, that the maid named the baby 

Miracle.  As the baby Miracle grew in the nurture and love of the maid she grew more pretty and 

strong.  Miracle when old enough to learn started learning to read,write and do her equations.  It was 

hard for her at first but then she began to fly threw her studies.  Miracle loved to read,she would read 

for hours when she wasn't working on her house cleaning and chores.  When at the age of ten she

started working with her mom the maid. Miracle  was amazed at how big the house was where she 

and  her mother  cleaned house.  The house was as large as a huge lake and a tall as the 200 ft 

waterfall next to Miracle's little cottage she called home. At first Miracle was clumsy and got coins 

taken away by the owner for spilling something or walking on the rug before washing her feet,but

after a year she looked as if she had worked there all her life.   Her movements were perfect. After a

hard days work Miracle  and her mom would go home to their little cottage,nestled in between two 

bushy trees and flowers of all different colors that  crowded the path.  It was a comfort to see her 

home even if it wasn't  anything fancy.  Miracle opened the wooden door and smelled the  apple pie 

 scent that wafted towards her. With the smell came the memory of her mom teaching her how to 

make an Apple pie for the first time. She smiled her rosy smile. A buzz came from a rock bug on the 

oven who when to hot began to buzz telling her  the oven was warm enough and that the pie was 

done. Miracle after taking the pie out helped her mom put plates,silverware and mugs on the table. 

She went out to the well and drew water from the well.  Without realizing it she sang a song that had 

haunted her dreams since she could remember. Once the pail was full she started back to the 

cottage unaware somebody was watching her. Miracle and her mom enjoyed their dinner talking and

reading their favorite book the "Light Lifter". Their week continued much the same.  Half way through 

the next week Miracle  had the feeling of being watched although she never saw anyone.The weeks 

flew past uneventfully until one day as Miracle waited for her mom to come out of the cottage with her

18th birthday gift. A horse drawn carriage,totally out of control almost flattened her as thin as a blade

of grass. Luckily a handsome young man pushed her to safety just in time. The man who told 

Miracle his name was "Left" had dark blue eyes, a muscular build and messy light brown hair. Once

the shock of almost getting flattened had worn off, and her mom was sure she was okay Miracle 

asked how the man Left had come to be at her cottage in enough time to save her. Left,  with a 

sheepish grin ,told miracle that "while passing on the road a couple weeks ago he had seen Miracle

drawing water out of the well, he was so smitten with her beauty, that he had come every day in 

hope to catch a glimpse of her pretty face”. As Left concluded his tale he apologized for having 

eavesdropped on miracle and her mom. Even though Left had been eavesdropping , Miracle took a 

liking to Left. Over the next year Miracle and the prince Left, threw their hours of talking,fell in 

love,though they hadn't told each other. One day, Left asked Miracle to go on a walk through the 

forest. As they walked they laughed and talked not noticing 5 pairs of eyes watching them. As Miracle 

and prince, rounded a corner, there stood 4 trolls,Gray,Smarty,Elf Eater and Water Bender blocking 

their path. Even as Left was thinking of a plan Camouflage hit the prince over the head knocking him 

out. Then they tied Miracle and Left to a huge tree. As  the trolls stirred a pot of water, Miracle by 

asking questions, found out that the trolls were angry at the Queen and King of Leaf City because 

the king wouldn't give them any land. Miracle negotiated with the trolls,who struck  an agreement. 

Miracle and prince Left were let go once they agreed to talk to the King for  the trolls. In return, the 

trolls agreed not to eat people and that Miracle would be their princess. Miracle and Left though tired

from the experience traveled to Leaf City as they promised. As they came upon the city it loomed 

 above their heads like a great big white cloud.Since Left was a prince they got to see the King 

immediately. The King at once recognized Miracle as their lost daughter and had his wife the Queen 

come to the throne room. The King and Queen hugged Miracle and  told her she was their daughter 

whom they had lost. Miracle and the prince,were very surprised. Although surprised,Miracle 

 remembered her promise to the trolls. After talking about giving  the trolls land , the King and Queen 

had the trolls brought to the palace along with Miracles mom the maid. All five trolls upon hearing 

 they would get land told the King and Queen how they had stolen the baby princess and were sorry. 

The maid told how she had found and raised Miracle. Miracle now a princess, asked her mom the 

maid to come live in the palace with her. Even though the maid said no to the offer to live in the 

palace and to instead live in her cottage she promised to visit often. A few weeks later miracle  and 

Left  got married beside the huge waterfall, amid shouts of joy and long live the troll princess. Miracle 

and Left did live long happy lives filled with love, family and most of all lots of beautiful,strong children.

The End!
