The Blue Cocoon

• This story happened on Halloween when a boy
  named Peter went out for trick or treat. He
  only got a liquorice, an orange and an apple. He
  couldnt go to anymore houses because he knew he
  would be in big trouble. Suddenly, he met a
  woman. The woman gave him a blue cocoon. Peter
  was surprised. The woman said that if Peter
  pulled a bit of the cocoon, he would grow older.
  Peter was surprised when he closed his eyes and
  opened them that the woman had gone. He rushed
  home. The next day at school, in a boring
  lesson, Peter pulled the string and he found
  himself in the class an hour later. He was
  delighted and everyday continued to do that. One
  day, he accidentally pulled the string too far
  and he found himself in the future when he had
  children already. When he pulled the string
  again, he became so old that he missed his
  childhood. He wished he never used the cocoon.
  Instead of shining gold, the cocoon was grey. He
  pulled it but it wouldnt work. He closed his
  eyes and when he opened them again, he found
  himself back in the forest. The woman was smiling
  at him.
• Trick or Treat? she said.
• When Peter closed his eyes and opened them
  again, the woman had disappeared. He went home
  and was really happy he was a kid again.

The Empty Pot

• A long time ago in China, there lived a boy
  named Ping. One day, the emperor of China decided
  to hold a competition to decide who would be the
  next person to the throne of China. He decided
  the competition should be to grow a seed. Many
  people participated. When Ping received his seed,
  he was delighted. He put the seed in a pot and
  watched it day by day. But even after six months,
  his seed still hasnt grown. He was very
  disappointed about the seed but his parents still
  made him go to the palace. The other competitors
  all had beautiful tall plants. When the king
  checked the plants, he frowned. He was very
  disappointed. But when he got to Ping, he was
  delighted. He shouted You have won! Ping was
  surprised. But why? He asked. The seeds were
  dead and so no plants could have grown. The other
  plants were all fake. I dont know where they
  bought the plants from, explained the King.
  Ping was delighted and so he became king.

The Magic Garden

• Once, there were 2 very good friends. One man
  was a farmer. He had a small plot of land. His
  friend had a piece of land of land as well. But
  one day all of his friends sheep died. His
  friend became poor. The farmer gave his friend
  half of his land. One day as they were working,
  the farmers friend found a pot of gold as he was
  digging. They argued who the gold belonged to.
  The farmer said that the gold was his friends
  because his friend dug the gold up. The farmers
  friend said that the land was the farmers so the
  gold was the farmers. So they decided to go to
  the wise man of the village. Out of all 4
  students that gave suggestions, the 4th student
  of the wise man was the wisest. He told that the
  gold should be used to make a garden for the
  poor. So the farmer went to the city to buy some
  seeds but he saw some birds tied to the camels
  being carried to the emperors palace. He bought
  the birds with all the gold and set the birds
  free. Then he realized his mistake. He was very
  sad and was ashamed that he had not bought seed
  for the garden. The next day, he was surprised,
  birds were around him when he walked through the
  city. They were the same birds that he had
  saved. They built a garden for the poor and the
  garden was the most beautiful garden that the
  farmers had ever seen. There were gates to only
  let the poor in and to keep the rich bad men out.
