The roar of a lion
Echoing in the darkness
Makes all life tremble
The oak tree is grand
Standing tall and wide with pride
Leaving leaves behind

A witch doctor his son and a donkey
One day the witch doctor said to his son, " Son, we need to go to town and sell our donkey to buy more herbs." So they started to town and met some girls going to a big, loud party.
The girls said to him, " You should always treat your child well." So he put the boy on the sturdy donkey.
Next, they met some old men who said, " Children have no respect to us old people." So he told his son to get off and he got on the sturdy donkey.
Next they met a group of women who said, " Look how tired that boy looks," gasped the women. " Put that boy on the donkey." So they were both on the donkey.
A little while later, they saw an elderly man and he said, " That poor donkey is so tired, get off and carry that poor donkey!" So they got off and tied the donkey's legs together and put him on the a pole and carried it to town. When they got there they crossed a narrow bridge. A crowd had gathered and saw this weird thing. The donkey got spooked at the laughing crowd and jumped off the pole and into the rushing waters. The helpless donkey drowned. The witch doctor got very angry and ashamed at himself and at the crowd. He never got his herbs.

Zorbon
" Get Prince Zorbon out of here!" screamed the king. " Bring him to my sister Skrena. "
" Yes sir, I will obey your orders," saluted the guard. That night the planet with no name was destroyed forever.
" Zorbon!" called Skrena " Come home for dinner!"
" Bye guys, my aunt is just like an animal caring for its baby, bur I'm no baby. Well I'll see you later."
" Bye Zorbon," said the voices. The secret men went back to the cave.
" Is it time sir?" questioned the quard.as a child would ask its mother.
" Not yet," said the man in the shadows. Meanwhile, back at their house, Skrena said,
" I was worried about you!"
" Oh, I'm fine." said Zorbon.
" It's your birthday today, and I need to tell you some something," said Skrena. Suddenly the door swung open and a guard came in and said,
" Did you tell yet?"
" I was just going to do it when you barged in like an animal about to eat me!" screamed Skrena. " You just about killed me here!" Years later after finding out that his dad was still alive, Zorbon became the greatest king on the planet with no name. But that all changed when the citizens named the planet after their favorite king--Zorbon.

The fifth nun,Rachel
"Sister Mary?" whispered Rachel "Where are you?" Suddenly Rachel was drawn back with a mighty force to her chair. "Wait!" cried Rachel . Then she was flying through the air ,still seated, like an eagle going for prey. Unexpectedly she stopped in a chilly, dark church.
"She's here, master." said the scruffy, deep voice.
"Why did you bring me here?" asked the calm nun. Surprisingly, she saw two robed men watching her in the shadows." We had word that you are a nun." said the deep voice. "Welcome, my sister, to France."
"She's here, master." said the scruffy, deep voice.

Flash Fiction story-The Two Princes of Russia.
"Get that thing away from me!" yelled Vitaliy.
" I'm just playing with you, brother," said Boris, holding a sword to his brother's neck. "I'm training to be a leader like father." Then Vitaliy heard a near whistle of an arrow. Looking at his brother on the ground, he thought that Boris was just ducking. But then he saw that he wasn't moving.
" Boris?" whispered Vitaliy. Then he heard another arrow whistle.
