3rd and 4th graders created stories at 826CHI, here's 3rd grade's Don't Eat the Chocolate Volcano!

Deep in the Crazy Jungle, there were lots of wacky animals.  The snakeatiger, which was half snake and half tiger, the polaroo, half polar bear half kangaroo, and the most feared of all, the dreadful rabbigator.  The rabbigator, Dr. Chris, lived in a volcano full of ice, where he kept all of his evil stuff.  His mission was to rule the jungle by freezing it all.

Standing in the way of his evil plan was his arch nemesis, Brownie the secret agent cat.  Brownie was an orange cat shaped like a brownie.  He rode his jet pack all over the island looking for evil-doers.  Brownie had a sidekick named Agent H the Hawk.  'H' stood for huge because she had a thirty-foot wingspan.

One day, Brownie and Agent H were out looking for evil-doers when they saw chocolate oozing from the volcano.
"Yum!" Brownie hollered.  "Let's go eat that chocolate."
"Not so fast," Agent H yelled.  "It might be...poison chocolate!"
"I thought you were my friend," Brownie said.  "Why would you lie to me?"  Brownie ran to the chocolate, rolled in it, licked it all up, and shouted. "Ha! It's not poison."  Then, he turned red and green and became paralyzed as he was licking his paws.

Each student was encouraged to create their own ending to the story.  Stop by 205 to see all their exciting conclusions!
