When I was a little girl I had a book of 365 one- or two-page stories, and I loved it to pieces. And recently I heard from somebody that somebody wants me to write a story. So, having just read the story about the bald frog with a wig, I decided I should tell the one about the bald toad with a wig.
Bald Toad with a Wig
There was a bald toad who wanted to wear a wig. After all, friend Frog wore one. So he bought one and all his friends said, "Cool! You look just like a frog." But he didn't want to look like a frog so he took his wig off and lived happily ever after.
Moral #1: You can (sometimes) tell a frog from a toad by his wig.
Moral #2: Sometimes your friends will think you're cool when really you look like a frog.
Also: Wog and Tog
Wog was an average worm. Tog was a very special worm. He had it all together. That's why they called him Tog. Wog was a bit envious because Tog got all the attention.
But one day, matters changed. Tog got put in a can of worms! "Oh dear!" worried Wog. "Next thing you know he'll be on a hook. I'd better try and help him!"
So he wiggled and wiggled with all his might, until boy-with-can finally noticed him and put him in the can with Tog. Together they plotted how they would get out. They decided to tie themselves together. The boy saw them and said, "Wa-hoa! A double worm! I'll hang it on my hook by the knot." As soon as he did, Wog and Tog untied themselves, fell to the ground, and immediately disappeared into the dirt.
After that, they both made a point of not wiggling around except when truly necessary. And of course, they made sure to hide themselves deep underground if they heard footsteps of boy-with-can. The End.
I'll have to try a little harder if I want to write any stories worth putting in a book, but maybe this will do for practice.
