The story of Lightening and Thunder

There once was Thunder, a sheep that lived with her son. Her son was named Lightening, a ram that had a terrible temper. Thunder and Lightening lived on earth with everyone else. When Lightening got mad, we would cause a lot of damage to the town, setting things on fire and even killing some people. His mother would always yell at him and tell him to stop.

One day the king got tired of lightening and thunder and moved them to the outside of the town. Thunder would still get mad and go on rampages. Setting the fields on fire that would even spread back into the town. The people in the town got fed up with thunder and lightening and the king moved them into the sky so they wouldn’t cause that much harm and destruction.

Ever since they were moved, when the lightening gets anger you can still here his mother get on to him telling him to stop. Sometimes when the mother has moved away from her son, you can still see hi getting angry but cannot hear her voice.

Week 2 Story: The Ghost Who Wrestled with a Man

The Ghost Who Wrestled with a Man A long time ago, there was a ghost that walked the streets of a small town. He came to the edge of the town and laid down to rest. He started a fire and covered himself with a blanket. Hearing some twigs breaking, he ripped a hole in the blanket and peeped out to see what was coming. A man walked up  to the laying ghost and felt the ghost’s leg to see if he was real. After touching his leg, the man took a knife and tried to cut the ghost’s leg off. Before he could the ghost jumped up and screamed “What are you doing?” Frightening him, the man took off running back into the town. The next day, after a long walk along the town, the ghost again found a spot to make a fire and lay down to rest. He covered himself with the blanket and heard a man singing. With the voice getting louder, the man peeped out of the hole and saw a man walking Ghost Google Image up. The man asked the ghost “Wake up and give me some food.” The ghost gave the man some berries
