Week 12: Storytelling: Two stories about People

Two Stories about People

Once upon a time there was an old couple, who lived in a huge house outside of the city. They were both retired and extremely rich. Recently they purchased two luxuries cars and placed them into their garage. Little did they know, there was a thief who was watching their every move since they moved in. He was planning on stealing their cars from the couple. He just had to figure out the right time.

One day the old man had to go to a doctor’s appointment, and he left his wife at home. The thief seized the opportunity to break into the house and manage to steal one of the new cars. He took the car and drove away with it. Upon the husbands return, he saw his wife pacing back and forth panicking. He asked what was wrong, and she said that a thief came and stole one of their brand new cars. The two began to search everywhere for the car. As they were searching the wife recognized the thief who had stolen the car.  They began to chase him down until they reached his house. The couple questioned him about the car, and the thief said that he already sold it, so there is nothing they can do about it. Laughing while he said this the thief told the couple that there was no way of proving the crime he had committed. The couple realizing that they had nothing to lose now, the husband reached for his side and pulled out a gun, and shot the thief in the head.

Bully - Charles LeBlanc

One day there was a little boy. He loved to play with his friend on the playground, but recently a bully always came on the playground when the little boy was playing and beat him up. The little boy was tired of this and needed to find a way to put an end to this. He asked one of his friends at school what he should do. The friend told the little boy to go make friends with a bigger bully, and have that bully beat up the one who was bullying you. The litter boy thought it was a genius plan. Over the next week, the little boy made friends with a bigger kid who was also a bully. The boy eventually convinced the big kid to go beat up the bully for picking on him. He agreed, and on the next day out at the playground the bigger bully beat up the smaller one. The litter boy was so happy that he could barely even sleep that night!

The next day, the bigger bully who helped the little boy came up to him on the playground and beat him up too! The boy was shocked and asked what the problem was. The big bully said that he learned from one of the boy’s friends that he never wanted to be the big kid’s friend, and just used him for revenge on the smaller bully! 

Author's note

This week I decided to base my stories over Three Stories about Snakes. In the original story there are three separate, and quick stories about snakes. Each one is different, but all have a snake that plays a major role. In my version, I just wanted to try and come up with my own to tell, but instead of snakes I used people. If you haven't read the original, and you would like too, I based my two stories off the first in the original. They are completely two different tales, but I tried to base the situation in each story similar to its counterpart.
