The Valentine Bear


Inside the nursery, everything is stirring. On the outside, not one creature moves, nor a sound is to be heard. Inside, the warm fire crackles, with a delicious smell filling the rooms. "Children!" said Granny with a strong, yet comforting tone. "Today I want to tell you of the Valentine bear. So open your ears, and huddle close together, as I go to the day when Valentine's Day came to be.

" Once upon a time, in a town with many old folk, lived a young bear, who longed to play about in the streets. One day, he went into the town, and met with an old man with a cane. The bear gave him a hug, and the man scolded him. Then the bear came to a woman, and gave her a bouquet of hearts and said, "Happy Valentines Day!" "Tis' no such thing!" She shouted. A little girl running down the street caught sight of the big bear and started to run. The bear scooped her up and hugged her tight. "I love you!" he said. The little girl loved him too. Together they wanted to make a holiday for love. But what would they call it? "How about Valentine's Day?" said the bear. And so it is! They influenced everyone that love is a very special thing. And the old people told more and more people about it. And now, Valentines Day is celebrated by lots of people.  THE END."

"Granny, tell us the story again!" said Agatha. "Now dears, you know that I only tell the stories once each. And this one, I hope you never forget." said Granny.

Frosty the Snowman Peeps come from the nursery everyday. But today, the chicks just sit around and listen to stories and work on their lessons. "Granny, I found an old hat in the street today, and I want to use it to build a snowman!" said Rosie. "Not  today, my dear. It is much to cold. But I know a story about a snowman! " said Granny. "Tell us!" the chicks peeped. "Okay. Let me see here. Aha! Here it is! It's called, 'Frosty the Snowman.'  One day, in Magic Village, some young raccoons wanted something to eat. They found a carrot each. The young raccoons decided to make snowmen. One snowman they put a good spell on. The spell was for him to come to life! He came to life, just as they wished! When the snow started to melt, he ran around, making it snow again. The raccoons called him, 'Frosty.' He liked that name very much. Then some mean weasels started throwing things at him. The raccoons threw snowballs at them, and the ran ...

Get to meet the Citizens Here in Chicken Town we have allot of important people. Drake, Jemima and Rebbecca are the actors of the Old Grimy Water Circus. Just in case you didn't know, they are ducks. Not chickens. Betty runs the salon that is in front the tractor door in Chicken Town. First you will see the Chicken Hotel that is a big white building that the citizens sleep in at night. It is perfectly safe when Fifi and Speckles are here to the rescue. Their former names are Pussnboots and Blackshadow. If you didn't know, the circus is south of the hotel. Then slimy and dirty is the Chicken Cafe. This is where they chill and wait for the Charity Food people to come by. Then if you go west and turn to the north, you are very likely to find the Chicken Supermarket. Then go south and you will find the Morning to My Babe Restaurant that is very much like Apple Bee's. Then go west again and you will find the Chicken Town Police Office. You will find Baxter Futter. He...

Never to be Found Our friend, Rebecca Puddle Duck has not returned yet. Not a sign, a sound, nor a little path. We are all trying to accept the truth. She is gone. She must be dead, but still she has no grave. Drake is deeply worried about her. "I remember she would always interrupt family discussions with her somewhat adorable little squeak." The little chicks attend to their letters and sounds. Greta, a dear friend of Rebecca's wrote on her  paper, " c a t d o g d u c k" Her book wanted her to write "Robby, Mike, & Me." Instead, she wrote, " R e b e c c a P u d d l e  D u c k"  The teacher glanced over her shoulder. Greta started erasing it right away. Everybody in town is very very very very very sad. Something is wrong in Chicken Town. New Citizens On a beautiful Monday evening, Sally was coming to egg-sit for Frieda, the Norwegian chicken. She was standing beside her, smiling in her usual way. She began to speak, b...
