The Terrible Triangle
2
Once there lived a triangle. Who like all
triangles was always busy as a bee. The things
he liked to be most were a sail on a sail boat
and a piece of pie. His favorite thing of all
was to be a end to a tent and listen to scary
ghost stories to tell his friends. They always
cheerfully listened.

Soon the triangle began to feel gloomy. He went
to the shapebaker and asked her to add 3 more
sides and three more angles. Just hope into my
magical oven please, said the shapebaker. WOW!
said the triangle, for now it was not a triangle,
it was a hexagon! He jumped happily.

Once again the shape was happy. For now it could
be a snowflake, a hole in a bee hive, and his
favorite thing of all was to be a pretty diamond
ring , so he could sparkle and shine. His friends
thought he was stuck up because he never really
talked to them any more.
Like my ring?!
Yeah!

Soon the hexagon became dissatisfied. He went to
the shapebaker. Can you give me 2 more sides
and to more angles. Then I will be happy. Said
the hexagon. Just hop into my magical oven!
Said the shapebaker. WOW! Said the hexagon,
for now it was a octagon! He skipped Gladly.

Once again the shape was happy. Now the things
he liked to do most were a tile, a stop sign, and
his favorite thing of all was to be a hole in a
shopping cart. That way I can see what the best
foods are. Said the octagon. His friends were
sad because he never played with them any more.

• Soon the octagon became displeased. He went back
  to the shapebaker. Can you take away 5 sides
  and 5 angles? I want to be myself again. Easy
  as pie, said the shapebaker. Phew, said the
  shape, for now he was once again a triangle! He
  ran quickly to go see his friends!

• Once again the shape was exited! He loved to be
  a sail, a piece of pie, and his favorite thing of
  all was to be a end to a tent and listen to ghost
  stories to tell his friends. Not only was he
  himself again, he had learned his lesson. Its
  good to be yourself!
