Owl's Outrageous Orchard
Nov. 22nd, 2007 10:10 amas a Thanksgiving treat, I present you with this little story Rachel wrote for Mr. B - the story is about 3 years old, but I just discovered it this morning!
Once upon a time, Owl owned an outrageous orange orchard. Every spring, Owl harvested his oranges. But one spring the orange flowers did not bloom. "How unexpected," Owl exclaimed. "What nonsense," Owl continued, "for my orchard not to bloom! I will warn my friends that we will not have any oranges this year."
Kanga said, "How outrageous!" and Roo yelled "What an ordeal!" Pooh and Piglet screamed "Oh no!" while Owl was calm. Rabbit ordered them to stop shouting but Owl's friends ignored Rabbit. Owl suddenly rang a bell and caught his friends' attention. "Oh, my friends, it is not a problem if the orange flowers won't bloom," Owl began. "Look over there at Rabbit's garden. It is growing outrageously. Why do we need oranges alone? With Rabbit's garden, we shall get the variety of pumpkins, carrots, tomatoes, and more!"
So Owl sold his orange orchard to Christopher Robin, who was overjoyed to own an orchardful of oranges.
