Today was a special day because Mr.Shart said, "Today, we are going to read a collection of stories!". "Great, we're going to read books only kindergarteners would read instead of a book that improves our brain intelligence," Crad mumbled.

Story 1 is called the Big Rock!

One day, Crad and Fins were swimming in the ocean and they found a big rock. Fins looked at it while Crad looked at Fins confused. "Why are you looking at it like it is special? It's just staying in one spot. Why are you looking at it?'' asked Crad. "Because you're wrong. A seemingly dull rock has such an interesting life!" answered Fins.

When Crad arrived back home, a fish fairy appeared. "I think you should know about a rock's life. Fin's right, you just don't see it doing anything often. Maybe you should be one," said the fish fairy. "Arbadacarba which is Abracadabra backwards!" yelled the fairy. Suddenly, Crad felt different. He wasn't fish.

He was a rock. Soon, Crad's mom entered the room. " Why would Crad carry a rock?" groaned Crad's mom. Then, she lifted as hard as she could and placed him outside on the house porch.

After staying on the porch for a long time, the waves whooshed Crad-the-rock deeper into the ocean where he saw three anchovies looking for shelter from a big seal. "Aha! A spot! Hide here!" whispered one anchovy.

The very next day, the waves were even stronger and cracked Crad into tiny pebbles! They were very scared and sad. Though the anchovies were worried the seal would try to hunt them again, they were mainly sad that Crad were just pebbles.

"Wait a minute. Our beautiful rock might never be the rock he was ever again, but we can play with pebbles. Sure, they seem different but deep inside, they are just our stone. And even if that is not enough, his legacy will continue to live. Anyway, run! The seal is after us" warned one anchovy.

After swimming swiftly into a narrow cave and playing with the Crad pebbles, they all thought about the rock and how he was a rock until he was broken and cracked into a different form, or forms. Crad was also thinking, but it was about something slightly different. It was about how Crad was wrong. Fins was right, rocks are really interesting. And Crad only been one for two days.

Many hours later, it was nighttime and the anchovies were getting sleepy. Just as a Crad Pebble was trying to close his two eyes, the fish fairy came and said "Good job, Crad. You'll now return to normal,". "Abracadabra which is Arbadacabra backward!" yelled the fish fairy. Suddenly, Crad felt different. He wasn't a rock.

He was a fish! " What an experience!" exclaimed Crad. Crad was right, that experience was amazing!

The End! Moral of the story: Even if something looks boring doesn't mean it is boring.

OK, that story changed my perspective a bit, but kindergartener stories are for kindergarteners!

Though these stories might have simple plots and cliche morals, you could occasionally

learn something.

Anyway, the second story is called The Tiny Tardigrade.

Terry was a tardigrade, a type of tiny organism that you could see in the fourteenth book of Flake's Books. Grown-ups told Terry the Tardigrade his entire life that he was the most special animal any sea creature could dream of. That was because of one fascinating fact.

They could survive staying in space. No other type of sea creature or land animal could achieve something like that without a spacesuit. That made Terry feel extraordinarily special.

Terry always dreamed of being in space and wanted to see the planets and the stars. But without a rocket, he would just have to stay on Earth.

One day, Terry saw Dr. Gillbert create the first rocket ever made underwater. "Yes, I have finally finished my rocket!" exclaimed Dr. Gillbert. "Now I can finally see planets like Jupiter and Uranus in person!". "Urine us! Hilarious!" chuckled Terry. "Anyway, it's time to get on that rocket!".  So, Terry did. He squeezed into the window and explored around.

When Terry entered the rocket he immediately saw a giant group of big buttons. Well, big for him. But there was one button unusually larger than the other ones. Terry tried to hit it with all the force his microscopic body could do, but he was essentially weightless.

Soon, a tardigrade heard all those noisy sounds! "Quiet down. Some of us are trying to take a nap!" the tardigrade yelled. "Sorry!" apologized Terry. "Wait, some of us! Before you leave, can you ask all the other tardigrades to help me activate this button?" asked Terry. The grumpy tardigrade thought this demmand was weird, which it was, but he did it anyway.

After hours of waiting, Terry saw 6000 tardigrades. "How did I not see those other tardigrades!" questioned Terry. "Whatever.  Land on the gigantic button!" ordered Terry. Everybody did as Terry said. So many tardigrades were on the button that some were worried it would malfunction. Terry was too. Luckily, it didn't and the button was activated. The rocket suddenly counted down.

10! 9! 8!

"Huh. I didn't hit the blast-off button. Oh, well!" said Dr. Gillbert rushing to his rocket. He backflipped on his seat and buckled his seatbelt.

The rocket rocketed into sand grains, and then out of the Earth's atmosphere into... where?

On the moon! Terry was very proud of himself. He did an achievement he couldn't believe he could. Terry the tardigrade truly was the most terrific tardigrade ever known to any tardigrade, fish, shark, or whale! One microscopic step for a tardigrade, one small jump for tardigrade-kind!

The End.  The moral of the story: small things can do amazing stuff!

OK, good story, but can a tardigrade survive living on the Moon, or did you make that up? Nonetheless, I won't read any kindergartener stories!

The next is called the Seahorse Slave!

If you have read book 14 of Flake's Books, you'll know that it ends with Bossi and Flake becoming Greediness's slaves. But, they didn't remain slaves forever. This is essentially part 2 of Book 14.

Greediness's first order was to give him a crown, a comfy chair and to be called The Bestest Kingiest Snakiest Ever Existius on Earthius.

He kept shouting orders to Bossi and Flake. Though, he mostly asked for lots of delicious food and occasionally money, sometimes, he chose more exotic items. One day he even asked for a room with a bunch of nice pets. He also asked for an aquatic dog, which they both somehow got.

One day, Bossi was filling up the aquatic dog's bowl with food, but then heard someone shout, "Bossi! Feed me a bowl of brownies, I'm starving!". "Yes, The Bestest Kingiest Snakiest Ever Existius On Earthius!" replied Bossi.

While filling a white bowl of brownies, Bossi discovered something crazy! "The brownie bowl looks like the dog food bowl!" said Bossi. Soon, Bossi had a plan.

Bossi was going to feed the dog food bowl to Greediness, so Greediness would fire her. So, she did. "Here you go, The Bestest Kingiest Ever Existius On Earthius!" Bossi said. Greediness opened his mouth wide and ate the entire thing, even the bowl! But Greediness didn't fire her. He enjoyed the dog food and wanted more.

So, she did. She gave her one bowl, two bowls, three bowls. Four bowls, five bowls, six bowls. In total, Bossi gave Greediness nineteen bowls and Greediness' belly was unbelievably humongous and he could barely move. He couldn't even wriggle his tail. Bossi tried to contain herself and not chuckle as Greediness tried to move. "Arrgh! You did this to me! You're fired!", shouted Greediness.

When Bossi got fired, she felt relieved! Flake wasn't, though. Greediness kept shouting demands at him. Bossi thought it would be rude to swim away without thinking of Flake's feelings. Bossi sighed and swam back and said to Greediness "I'm sorry for overfeeding you. May I be able to serve you again The Bestest Kingiest Ever Existius On Earthius?". "Alright," Greediness hestitantly responded.

Flake and Bossi continued to be Greediness's slaves, but I didn't say they were slaves eternally. Who stopped the slavery? The same mermaid who stopped Bossi from being bossy.

While the mermaid was swimming in the sea, she saw the two serving for Greediness. She knew she had to end this slavery. Angrily, she swam up right next to Greediness's face. And you know what she said?
