Once upon a time there lived two birds, and they were very lonely, so they decided to have kids.
They had 27 snails and 1 bird. The snails names were Sarah, Phoebe, Peter, J.T, Daniel, Hannah, Noah, Javia, Alex, Christopher, Oliver, Ely, William, Josie, Molly, Lorenzo, Sonia, Albert, Ben, Kate, Thomas, Bryn, Nolan, Dalia, Dylan, Cece, and Emily. The bird’s name was Bob.
One day, Bob got jealous of all the other snails so he pushed one of the snails off the nest. That snail was Emily. Emily was so weak that she could not climb back up the tree, so she decided to move on with a life on her own. Of course the birds didn’t notice she were gone because there was so many snails! Now, there were only 26 snails.
Emily got so lonely that one day she came upon a grasshopper that was very nice. They ended up living together until one day they came upon a bird that looked like her mom, but it wasn’t, it was a blue jay! Then the grass hopper was gone…
All of a sudden everything was silent. Emily didn’t know what to do. She wondered if the grasshopper got eaten or went to get food from the market.
She went to the town to see if she could find the grasshopper but, she couldn’t find him. She asked a few critters at town but nobody had seen him. As she was walking home she saw a birds nest. So she decided to see if it was the same bird’s nest that took her friend the grasshopper. When she got to top of the tree she saw the bracelet that she gave to him.
She started to cry. But all of a sudden she heard a cracking sound she looked back and noticed that the eggs where starting to hatch. She could see the birds’ beaks.
She didn’t know what to do. So she was certain that she had to move as fast as she could (that is not very fast for a snail). When she got to the nest the birds were all the way out of their shells. So, she looked around and determined that there was only one thing to do, JUMP!
As she jumped off the tree branch her shell turned into a Para shoot and she slowly drifted down, she landed on a soft pile of leaves. She had to make up her mind and move on with her life.
Ten Snail Years later……
(That’s a long time in snail years.)
When she was going to pick up her kids from school, while she came across a grasshopper. She thought that it would be nice to talk this grasshopper. It turns out that it was the same grasshopper that she used to know.
When the bird picked up the grasshopper that he dropped his bracelet. He was not scared to be picked up because; the bird was his old friend. He was giving him a ride to city hall to go change his name to Billy. He went back to Emily’s house and couldn’t find Emily. He asked the people at town were she was. They said that she went to the other town.
When Billy got to the other town Emily was playing outside with her kids. He didn’t want to disturb them so he went and watched them on a bench.
After Emily was done playing with her kids she said “I adopted these kids” so they got married. After the wedding they had a party everyone was invited even BOB. (Remember him he was the one who started the whole story.) Even Emily’s brothers and sisters were there (all 26 of them). Then everyone started dancing, then all of the snails decided to go do the hokey pokey and the bird did the cha-chslide!
The End!
