The Really Bad Teacher

Made by Mr. Giraldi

Written using the following story starters...

A gym teacher
Wants to build a catapult
But his principal won't let him

Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there was a beautiful little elementary school called Merwood Shills. It was a school filled with happiness and learning, and the students and teachers got along really well with each other. Well, almost all the students and teachers. There was one teacher who just didn't seem to get along with the students and other staff members. He was a very grumpy, very angry, and very smelly teacher. His name was Mr. Heraldo, and he taught gym to Grade 3 and 4 students. No one knew why he was always so angry; was it because he'd been hit in the head too many times in dodgeball? Was it because he was losing all his hair on top of his head already (and was beginning to look like a big, human pear)? Was it because of all the good treats had already been eaten from the staff room by the time he finally made it over there for lunch? No one knew. However, one split 3/4 class did know that he was up to something positively nefarious. One day (when trying to avoid his bad breath by staying as far away as possible from him) they saw some plans left on a chair. They were plans for a catapult, and even worse, they were labeled as 'PLANS FOR STUDENT CATAPULT - SPEEDING UP WASHROOM TRIPS WITH STUDENT-HATING STYLE'.

Oh no! What to do? The kids were very worried. They immediately told their amazing principal Mrs. Hatterson. Mrs. Hatterson was loved by all the students, and was known to be very kind and fair. She immediately walked into Mr. Heraldo's gym, and told him that launching students through any method ranging from good old-fashioned throwing to a massive catapult was not allowed. Mr. Heraldo muttered under his breath some, but tried to knock over the chair with his dastardly student-launching catapult plans on them. He was trying to hide the evidence! This grade 3/4 class was very perceptive though, and immediately caught on to what he was trying to do. They pointed it out to Mrs. Hatterson, and she grabbed the plans! Now Mr. Heraldo had to apologize and promise to never, ever build a student-launching catapult.

He did, but just in case, Mrs. Hatterson had all building materials kept far from his gym from that day forward.

Blobby and his Great Discovery

Made by Aydan

Written using the following story starters...

A blob of goo
Wants to discover a new planet
But he gets sucked into a black hole

Once upon a time there was a blob of goo. The blob of goo was named Blobby. He was green, shiny, and had blue eyes. He loved to consume anything he saw. He really liked to eat green marbles. He just loved them because they were shiny and green like him. He just couldn't resist them. They looked so scrumptious and smelled like glue. That`s because his owner, Aydan, wanted to see what would happen if he mixed lots of glue with with a lot of liquid nitrogen, some hydrogen peroxide, and some gallium. Then Blobby was born. Blobby always wanted to discover a new planet, but he didn't have a rocket ship. Good thing Aydan was an inventor that had invented a rocket ship a few months ago! Aydan took the rocket ship to a space station. Six years later , Bobby was ready to go in space.

Aydan said, "Bye, Blobby. Good luck on discovering a new planet."

"Bye," said Bobby back.

Five, four, three, two, one, BLAST OFF! Blobby blasted past all the planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, an asteroid belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, The Kuiper Belt, and the Oort Cloud. It took him five centuries to get past all of that. He flew past lots of nebulas, stars and supernovas. He felt a strong gust of wind and felt like he was being pulled towards something. It was a black hole! He couldn't see it because space is black, and so is the black hole. His radar in his spaceship told him that there was a black hole near him. He tried so hard to steer the spaceship away from the black hole, but the black hole wouldn't let go of the spaceship. Little did he know that a black hole is connected to a white hole. It was a way to teleport through space. He teleported to a whole new solar system. He was so proud of himself! There were five planets, and a white dwarf. He lived happily ever after in a planet that was close to the Goldilocks zone.

Made by Raymond

Written using the following story starters...

A happy little marshmallow
Wants to overcome a fear of something
But gets trapped in a tower

Once upon a time, in a far away city named Mississmarshmallow, there was a young boy named Marshe. He was kind, soft, squishy, brave, round and smart. He loves cookies, is very helpful and smells amazing! One day when Marshe was walking back from his school named Sherwood Marshmallow, a very evil marshmallow kidnapped him and put him into a very high tower. Marshe was heart broken because he thought he would never see his family again! But he was a smart and brave marshmallow, so he stopped crying. He took one of his cookies, shaped it into the shape of the key he needed and broke free! He ran to the police station, described the evil marshmallow that kidnapped him and the police put him in bars. Right when the police was going to put him in a cell, he ran out of the police station and escaped. Marshe ran after him, but was not fast enough. But Marshe didn't give up, he ran after him for minutes and finally caught up to the evil marshmallow. Marshe was super tired, but the evil marshmallow was even more. The police came and this time made sure he didn't escape. The evil marshmallow tried to escape the cuffs his hands were in but he couldn't do it. The police made sure that he would never ever get out of jail ever again.

Sunny and His Broken Stem

Made by Altynai

Written using the following story starters...

A dumb sunflower
Wants to bake a cake
But his stem is stuck in the ground

Once upon a time there was a sweet bright yellow sunflower named Sunny, but he was very dumb. He had the beautiful scent of pollen and fresh sweet honey about him. Sunny looked small compared to other sunflowers in the ginormous garden and lots of space to relax, but that meant nothing because Sunny could not move. The main problem is that Sunny wants to bake a cake, but doesn't have the right ingredients. However, another problem comes up right away . Sunny's stem is is stuck in the ground and he cannot move to get more ingredients. The resolution of the story is that Sunny tried squirming out of the dirt, but the soil was too heavy because of all the rain the other night. Sunny could not move! He really was truly super-ultra-super-duper-sonic stuck! He finally pulled himself out, but once he did pull himself out he realized that he broke his stem. Oh no! Now instead of baking a cake, Sunny ended up being baked in the sun. Without his stem he couldn't get water to keep him cool and hydrated!

No matter how bad you want to do something or want something don't do it if you know what bad things could happen when you succeed! If you are told not to do something then listen because when adults tell you not to do something they usually say it for especially good reasons.

A lazy king
Wants to rescue a puppy
But he has to overcome sleepiness!

Once upon a time there lived a king. He was fat, smelly, and very, very, bossy. He acts very lazy all the time. He acted liked that he was the smartest one around, but he wasn't. An eighteen year old boy was smarter than him. The king lived in a tower, which had twenty rooms and one long kitchen. There was a very dark forest nearby. It was a ten minute horse ride away, and if you walk it will take you fifteen minutes. In the forest there was a rumour that was a magical puppy that had lots of powers. The puppy could run very fast, was very strong and extremely smart. The king really wanted to have all the powers of the puppy. But nobody dared to go into the forest, because no one ever returned. So the king made a gold reward that made every one quit their job so that they could go into the forest and catch the puppy. The king was so lazy that while all his people did the hard work, he slept the whole time! After they were done searching, he sent his knights with the people to enter the forest and get the puppy.

They searched for five days and nights, but they could not find it. Then they got lost and ran out of food. So they came back and told the king that he had to go. One witch had also told him that only he should touch the puppy so that he can get all the powers. Then the king got on his horse and led the people again into the forest. By now, the puppy had heard that the king was after him, but that he was also very lazy. So the puppy reached the king while he was sleeping. He put a big spell on the king for sleepiness, so that he did not want to wake up and search for him. After ten days of sleeping, the king's people got tired, and left the king in the forest. The leaves covered the king up and after few days a wolf found the king. He growled a lot and woke the king up. The king got scared and ran out of the forest. He gave up his idea to catch the puppy and stayed in his castle. The people liked the puppy since he beat the king and they all lived happily ever after.

The Water Guns of Doom

Made by Rayaan

Written using the following story starters...

A monster named Monstro
Wants to tame a Tasmanian devil
But an epic water gun battle starts

Once upon a time there was a good monster named Monstro. He lived underground in a drain. He wasn’t scary looking like other monsters and looked like a lot like a human. Sometimes he wished his pet, which was a tasmanian devil, would be tamed. He continuously tried to teach it manners, but it wouldn’t work. One day he had the idea of taking him up to the surface at night. He thought that might cheer him up. The day he decided to take him to the surface. It was quiet. His pet seemed to like it and playfully hopped around. Monstro was very happy and decided he would do it every night. The next night when he took his pet out there was a huge splash of water. Luckily they dodged it in time. But it kept on happening! This time it was many small splashes of water, but this did not matter that much. The only problem was that it hit his pet. The tasmanian devil became extremely angry and was set on a rampage. It wasn't his pet that he was worried about though, he was worried about the huge splashes of water. But as the screams grew nearer the more worried he became. Once it was closer it was clear it was a group of kids were having a water gun battle tournament. Monstro began to freak out, but eventually calmed himself down. He decided he to sneak up on the kids and grab his pet and go back home. The only problem was all of the kids in the city were playing, and there was 76,847 kids! It seemed impossible and he was starting to lose hope. Suddenly he had an idea! He knew his pet hated water, but the kids found it fun, and there was hundreds of millions of liters of water in the aquifers underground. If he simply gave them to the kids they would notice him.

After thinking for a while he remembered where some of the underground water came from! There just happens to be a large pond near the place the children were playing. If the pond overflowed it should catch the children's attention long enough so he could get his pet back. But how could he possibly make the water go up instead of it going down? Then Monstro remembered all the junk he had back home. If he tried hard he just might be able to make some sort of machine that could suck up the water. It took a while, but he was finally finished with the water-sucker-in-and-out vacuum cleaner! He knew it had a horrible name, but he decided to worry about that later. With some quick patching he quickly closed up the water hole so no more water will flow in. He began to suck up the water, which went surprisingly fast. He then sprayed all the water out, all over the kids! As planned this caught the children's' attention so he was able to take his pet and go home.

From that day on he never went to the surface again, and decided to work on taming his pet underground!

Then Jay cried, "No!"

An alien
Wants to win a race
But a forest comes to life

Once upon a time, an alien with five eyes and three noses liked to eat earth food. He also has a body that looked like a ghost. He smelled like nice flowers.

One day he went on a spaceship and traveled to earth to win a race. It took place on two different planets, one being on Earth and one deep in outer space. This story happened in the future because we don't have any aliens on Earth right now! While in the race on Earth, a mean-looking (and talking and moving) forest that had been hypnotized by a evil person was attacking the contestants! The forest wanted to be in the race too. The forest put out some traps and bumped the alien out of the race. Then the alien had an idea, and he went back on his spaceship to his planet and came back with lots of his alien friends to stop the forest. The aliens fought against the forest and after sitting on all the trees in order to hold them down, well, finally the aliens won. Then the forest was sad and explained that all he wanted to do was enter the race too, and had been hypnotized into being bad. The race organizers let him enter the race. The race was then re-started, and this time the alien was able to race without being bothered by a living forest!

A lazy pirate
Wants to find treasure
But gravity won't let him

Once upon a time there was a pirate who was born in 1083. His name was Arnold, and he was 18 years old. He wanted to go find some treasure, because that's what pirates do! He had a peg leg, a parrot, an eye patch, and a big black beard. He was also very lazy!

When he went to find some treasure one morning, he got distracted by his couch and started to have yet another lazy day. He was about to get up, but then gravity pulled him back into his room and shut the door. After ten years the intense gravity stopped and he instantly got up, stopped being lazy, and went to find tons of treasure. The treasure was worth over one quintillion dollars. He spent it on a golden boat with tons of diamonds and emeralds all over it, even on the bottom of the boat! The pirate named his boat Olivia. The pirate sailed Olivia to a secret island, and lived happily (and sometimes lazily) ever after.

Fabio Junior and the Distracting Dance Party

Made by Romaisa

Written using the following story starters...

A meatball
Who wants to bend air or water
But gets distracted by a really bad chef

Once upon a time, there lived an ugly king who demanded a dance party. The king's name was Dudley Fry. He was fat, ugly, and mean. Dudley Fry owned a bowl. The bowl was full of overcooked spaghetti and burnt meatballs. The bowl the meatballs lived in was grey and very old looking. It smelled as though it hadn't been used in 8 million years! But in the bowl there lived a beautiful meatball who wasn't burnt at all. He was perfect, except he had a dark secret, a really dark secret that no one should ever hear about.The secret was he always wanted to bend air or water. Every meatball in the world was against bending air or water. The meatballs were made by a hippo named Fabio. Fabio (thinks he) is a great chef. Some food he had made in his life was very cheesy macaroni and cheese, and one of his most resent recipes was octopus dipped in coffee (which as you can tell was gross).

The king had asked Fabio to make spaghetti and meatballs as the main course of his dance party. While Fabio was tasting meatballs the world shook as the worst thing in the world happened... FABIO GOT THE HICCUPS! The hiccups didn't bother him at first, but as minutes past his hiccups got stronger and stronger, until the hiccups felt as if he was having a HEART ATTACK! Soon after he realized what was actually happening... HE WAS HAVING A HICCUP ATTACK! Hiccups were one of the most dangerous diseases in the world. There was no cure yet, because this disease was very rare, but Fabio had to make spaghetti for the king, he just had to! So Fabio went on. He stayed up for days, and could still not create the perfect dish, they all were burnt to a crisp.Then suddenly it hit him, literally, as a meatball from one of Fabio's dishes had come to life and had slapped him in the face. The meatball had said his name was Fabio Junior!

Fabio Junior asked Fabio if he needed help cooking. Fabio then told Fabio Junior that he did need help. The party was in three hours, so they needed to act fast. Fabio still had the hiccups, which would make it an extra challenge. They were on a roll until Fabio had the biggest hiccup in the ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE WORLD! The whole room shook and the meatballs were all burnt (again). There was only two minutes until the party and they had no time to make more spaghetti. THEY WERE DOOMED! Then Fabio Junior suddenly had an idea. Fabio Junior ran to Fabio's head as fast as he could. Then he got some water and tried bending it, and it work! He slapped Fabio with the water he'd bent, and Fabio was cured! Fabio was now able to make beautiful tasting, unburnt spagetti. Fabio put Fabio Junior on the table and thanked him, but then the water fell and Fabio Junior slipped off the table. He kept bouncing up and down until one of the burnt meatballs came to life. He wasn't too happy about Fabio Junior getting a lot of attention, so he grabbed him and threw him out the window. Fabio the cook walked away with the good-tasting spaghetti and traveled to the castle, and everyone there lived happily ever after (and the royal snake who lived outside had meatballs for dinner that night).

Fabio and the Distracting Dance Party

Written using the following story starters...

A hippo
Who wants to be a master chef
But gets an attack of the hiccups

Once upon a time, there lived a normal hippo that was just like other hippos. His name was Fabio. Fabio was fat, big, gray and he smells like spaghetti. Fabio grew up in a city with a king that is fat, ugly, mean and his name is Dudley Fry. Fabio loved to cook. He would always watch his parents cook, and when he grew up, he would like to become a master chef. Fabio tried to make his first meal. It was macaroni and cheese. The dish tasted bitter at first, and then he added some more cheese. It tasted better, and he made it taste more and more cheesy until it was perfect. He continued to cook his meals until one day he cooked one specific meal. It was his first time making that meal, and it was octopus dipped in coffee. He ate it and thought it was fine, BUT IT WASN'T! Soon after a big horn blew! DUUUUN, DA DA DUUUUUN! The king's messenger arrived at Fabio's house.

The messenger said, "THE KING HAS CHOSEN YOU TO BE THE CHEF OF THE KING'S DANCE PARTY!" in a very loud voice. The messenger handed a note to Fabio, and took off. Fabio read the note. The note said that the king would like Fabio to cook spaghetti and meatballs as the main course for his upcoming dance party. There were five days until the dance party. He decided to practice his cooking by making spaghetti and meatballs (of course). He started to taste it, but as soon as Fabio started to eat a meatball, HE GOT THE HICCUPS! He started to eat his meal with the hiccups and the hiccups didn't bother him at first. When Fabio finished his meal though...THE HICCUPS GOT EVEN WORSE! IT WAS LIKE HE WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK, BUT INSTEAD IT WAS A HICCUP ATTACK!

Fabio would hiccup EVERYWHERE. Soon he was cooking with the hiccups. The dance party was in two days and Fabio decided to practice making spaghetti and meatballs (with the hiccups). Soon a talking meatball came up to Fabio and slapped him in the face. The meatball's name was Fabio Junior. Fabio Junior went up to Fabio and asked if he needed help cooking. Fabio wrote on a piece of paper because he couldn't talk. Fabio Junior read the note and he knew he had to start cooking. The party was in three hours. Fabio still had the hiccups. All was good until Fabio had the biggest hiccup THE ENTIRE WORLD HAD EVER HEARD! The room shook and all the meatballs were burnt, and they didn't have time to make more spaghetti. THEY WERE DOOMED! Fabio Junior soon came up with a great idea. Fabio Junior thought of a way to get rid of the hiccups, and it was to bend air or water! Fabio Junior climbed on top Fabio's head as fast as he could. Fabio Junior got water, bent it and slapped Fabio in the face with it! Fabio was cured! Fabio thanked him, but then water fell and Fabio Junior slipped. Soon, another meatball (a burnt one this time) came to life and grabbed Fabio Junior and threw him out of the window. Then Fabio walked away with the newly cooked and unburnt spaghetti, and brought it to the castle. Everyone there lived happily ever after (and the royal snake who lived outside had meatballs for dinner that night).
