Jeff the Uncontrollable Large Mouth Bass

 Jeff the Uncontrollable Large Mouth Bass lived in a fresh water lake under sunken tree roots, which have fallen in 

the lake. At the bottom of the lake, by the big root, Jeff and his big family lived in a small house. This lake is 

located in northern Alabama. Jeff weighed fifteen pounds and was dark colored with greenish scales. He blends in 

with his environment. 

  Jeff went to school at Lakedale Elementary. The school year was drawing near and Jeff was excited. Mrs. Roberts, 

the alligator, was his teacher. On Monday, the first day of school Jeff used wonderful self-control. However on 

Tuesday he started to loose it. He began hitting his friends for some reason. Mrs. Roberts caught him in the act. 

Mrs. Roberts sent Jeff to see Mrs. Cornelius the Crab. She was the principal of Lakedale Elementary. She spoke 

with Jeff a little and asked him to use his self-control. Jeff went back to class and on his way he tripped Steven the 

Small Mouth Bass. Steven is Jeff’s big brother. On Wednesday he talked back to Mrs. Hayes the Catfish. He got 

suspended for three days. On Thursday Jeff ran in the hall and tore students’ work off the wall. He got detention 

twice. On Friday he does a little bit of everything. He was OUT OF CONTROL!!!! 

 The next week Steven said, “This has got to stop!” Then Steven told Jeff he was going to teach him how to use 

self-control. Steven gave Jeff two lucky coins and said, “These coins have magical powers. They give you self-

control every time you jingle them together.” Steven exclaimed, “Every time you feel out of control jingle the coins 

together in your pocket and you will gain self-control.”   Jeff said, “Okay I will try it.”  

Jeff was standing in line and thought he would push Jeremy. Then he thought to himself, jingle the coins and Jeff did 

not hit Jeremy. Jeff continued to jingle his coins every time he felt out of control. 

 Several days passed and Jeff continued to use the magical coins. His friends and teachers noticed he was using 

good self-control. Finally, Jeff went to Steven and said, "These magic coins are fantastic." Then Steven said, "They 

are not magic. You have learned self-control."

Katie the Monarch Butterfly, who was five years old, was a cute, fancy butterfly. 

She thought she was so fancy because all she liked was clothes, shoes and to dress-up

fancy.   She wore a pink shirt, a fancy blue jean skirt, red shiny shoes, and her white fancy glasses. She lived in 

Alabama near a lake. On her wings were orange and black veins with a border of two rows of tiny white spots.   She ate 

some yummy leaves with a glass of nectar juice. Next, she was flying to school and it was 10 miles away. When she 

got to class she met Josue and she sat right beside him. Katie told Josue I did not do my homework because I was 

playing dress-up with Rosa the butterfly.   The teacher, Mrs. Roberts the dragonfly, asked the students to turn in their 

homework. Mrs. Roberts called Katie to her desk and asked her for her homework. Katie said, “I left it at home. I will 

bring it tomorrow.”   she said sadly. Katie flew back to her seat. Josue told Katie that it is not good to lie. When they 

went back to their seat they started on a project and Mrs. Roberts told Josue that Katie was his partner. The project 

was about fossils. Before, they started on their project they took a math test. On the test Josue made an 85 and Katie 

made an 85.The teacher called both students to her desk and discussed why their papers were the same. Josue said 

Katie copied off my paper. When Mrs. Roberts asked Katie if she studied she lied to Mrs. Roberts and said she studied. 

Mrs. Roberts gave Josue and Katie the test again. Josue made an 85 and Katie 60. Katie Monarch the butterfly had to 

go to Mr. Maxx on Thursday because of her lying. He would help her to learn how to be honest. If she would not tell 

anymore lies he would let her put on a fashion show. Katie woke up and got dressed with a red shiny shirt and blue 

jeans with red shiny shoes. Mr. Maxx flew in to see Katie Monarch the butterfly on Friday, so he could help her with her 

problem.   Mr. Maxx told Katie why it is important not to lie. Katie was starting to understand why it was important not to 

lie.   Then she went to lunch with her friends and ate worms and had a tall glass of nectar juice. She had a wonderful 

conversation with her friends and she did not tell any lies.

The following Monday Mr. Maxx and Katie had a discussion about her telling the truth. Mr. Maxx was very proud of 

Katie. 

The following Wednesday Katie put on a fabulous fashion show with all her friends. The teacher and her family were 

extremely surprised of Katie’s talent and they were also proud of her for not lying anymore. 

(The moral of this is honesty is the best policy.)

he took Junior to his house in the fields of Alabama. Then, Lizard the Mean saw 

Junior outside John’s house. Lizard the Mean was looking for Junior outside 

John’s house. Junior was talking to himself in the big butterfly cage. He said, “I 

have no confidence. I’m never getting out of this cage.” Lizard the Mean showed 

up to scare Junior. Junior got really scared when he saw Lizard. Lizard said, “Do 

you have enough confidence to squeeze through the bars and if you don’t I will 

eat you up? Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" exclaimed Lizard the Mean. Junior took a 

moment to think. Then finally, he found his confidence. He squeezed himself 

through the bars and went flying free. He went home and told his parents what 

happened.
