A story can be fun and excited, but many times stories teach us a lesson! These kinds of stories have a moral. The Boy who cried "WOLF" is a famous story with a moral. Can you guess what it is??
Everyday the shepherd boy took his flock of sheep up the mountain.
One day he was bored so he decided to play a joke on the village people.
He started to yell "HELP!! WOLF! WOLF!"
The people in the village heard his yells and they rushed up the mountain to help him.
"Where is the wolf?" they asked. The boy started to laugh "Hahaha! I tricked you!"
The village people were not happy about the boy's behaviour.
The village people were not happy about the boy's behaviour.
A few days later the shepherd boy decided to play a joke on the village people again.
He started to yell "HELP!! WOLF! WOLF!!"
Once again the village people ran up the mountain to help him but when they arrived they noticed that he had tricked them again.
This time they were really angry!
This time they were really angry!
A few days later the shepherd boy was up in the mountain again.
A hungry wolf jumped out from the bushes!! "HELP! HELP!!" he cried.
A hungry wolf jumped out from the bushes!! "HELP! HELP!!" he cried.
The people in the village heard his cries but they thought he was playing another trick on them! Nobody went to help him this time.
The wolf was lucky to have a tasty dinner that day...!

Hi boys and girls!
The weekend is here but this naughty Typhoon might keep us indoors tomorrow! So here is a chance to get our hands a little dirty and make something very delicious! MUFFINS!
Have you ever baked muffins before?? They are not very difficult to make, but you must ask somebody to help you because we need to cook them in the oven.
This is what you will need:
INGREDIENTS
250 grams self-raising flour
25 grams cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
175 grams caster sugar
175 ml milk
2 large eggs
100 ml sunflower oil
1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
You will also need these kitchen utensils:
A mixing bowl
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Switch on the oven to 170 degrees C.
2. Put the paper muffin cases into the muffin tray. You will need about 12 paper cases. (If you use small ones you will need more, maybe 25!)
3. Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder into a large bowl.
4. Add the sugar.
5. Add all the other ingredients and mix together.
6. Use a spoon to put the mixture into the paper cups. DO NOT fill the paper cups too much because the muffins will grow in the oven.
7. Put them in the oven and cook for about 20minutes.

Snow White and the Magic Mooncake
Hello girls and boys! I hope you had a nice celebration for the mid-autumn festival! Did you eat many mooncakes?? I only ate one!
Here is a funny story I made up! I hope you enjoy it!....
Snow White lived in an old castle with her nasty, grumpy stepmother. Every day her stepmother would look into her magic mirror and say "Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the most wonderful woman of them all?" The mirror always replied "It is you, oh beautiful queen!". But one day, it said "Snow white is the most wonderful woman of them all!"
The Queen was furious so she decided to send Snow White into the forest. "Hahaha! She will surely get eaten by some wild animals! Then I can be the most wonderful woman!"
Snow White walked around the dark, scary forest. She couldn't believe her nasty stepmother didn't care about her.
Snow White was scared and lonely. She started to cry. Suddenly she heard footsteps and lots of whispering coming from the bushes! "Oh no! The wild animals are coming to eat me!" she cried!
"Don't be scared of us" said the little men coming out of the bushes. "We are the old dwarfs of the forest and we want to help you. Why are you crying?"
"My stepmother is the Queen of this country" explained Snow White. "She doesn't want me living in her castle so she sent me away. I have nowhere to go! I don't know why she hates me. I try to be nice to her but she is so cruel!"
"We can help you" said one of the dwarfs. "A magic mooncake can solve this problem!"
"A magic mooncake?" said Snow White. "What does it do?"
"Anybody who eats this mooncake will become kind and sweet!" said one of the dwarfs. "This will change the Queen's mood!" The dwarfs got together to plan the best way to trick the Queen into eating the mooncake. They decided that Charlie the dwarf would dress up as a fairy and visit the Queen.
"Great Charlie! You look like a real fairy!" they all agreed. "Hopefully the Queen won't notice your big beard!"
Charlie flew all the way to the castle. He carried the magic mooncake. He was sure their plan would work! He flew in through a window and there he found the Queen looking at herself in the mirror.
"Who are you? Who said you may enter my castle?" growled the Queen. "Oh dearest Queen, I have brought you a gift" said Charlie. "I am the fairy of beauty and only some lucky ones can have a chance to eat my magic mooncake! Those who eat it will stay beautiful forever!"
The greedy, vain Queen quickly jumped up and snatched the Mooncake from Charlie. She gobbled it up in one bite!
"Oh, that feels very strange" said the Queen. "I feel so happy suddenly!But where is my darling Snow White??"
The Queen sent her guards to search the forest and bring Snow White back to the castle.
What do you think about my story? Isn't it funny? I love the dwarf dressed up as a fairy! Well, how about a little COMPETITION? All you have to do is to answer this question -
If you could eat a magic mooncake, what kind of magic do you want it to do?
