Animals' New Year
Written by Helena Tang Nygaard

Once upon a time there lived a rabbit,a guinea pig,a dog,a cat,a hamster,a horse,a monkey and a bird. On a sunny day in February, the friends went into the forest for a walk. They played tag. Soon they got lost. In the forest they met a fox, an unicorn and an owl.The owl asked: "Can we help you?" Suddenly there was a sound from the bush. The friends were frightened. Out came a lion and a tiger. They started to chase the friends.

The friends went to China Town. They hid in a house owned by a hedgehog. The lion and the tiger looked up and down for the friends. They could not find them. The hedgehog told the friends a story about a magic ball lost in a tree. The friends decided to look for it. Fox had a brilliant idea. She asked if anyone knew how to climb. Monkey said he would try. He climbed the tree and found something really strange. It is 700+900 dollars! "That is not the ball," shouted monkey,"but at least it is useful." said the monkey. So he brought it down. "Sorry," said the monkey, "I did not find the magic ball but I found lots of money." "I will help you find the ball." said the rabbit as she climbed onto the back of the monkey. They climbed up the tree. Rabbit saw a glittering ball in a hole. She also saw a big bad bug guarding it. She said to the bug:"Do you want to see how much money we have got?" "That is my magic money!" cried the bug. So the bug started to chase the monkey who was holding the money. Rabbit secretly sneaked in and got the magic ball. Then monkey climbed so high up in a tree and jumped down suddenly when the fox shot the bug on the butt.The bug was dead.The magic ball said to the friends: "Thank you for saving me from the evil bug. I will grant you all the wishes you want." And the magic money said: "Me too! I will make your parents the richest in the country!"

And the friends never got lost again because they always gave money to the poor animals in the forest who helped them to find their way. In case of getting lost again, they also have a compass and a GPS to guide their way....To celebrate them finding their way and killing the bug, we people celebrate New Year every February. (the End)
