Just Random Fluff

Hi guys! Sorry! This isn't an update! I repeat! THIS ISN"T AN UPDATE!!!! 

Don't leave though! 

I just wanted to share with you some stuff. 

Ok, for a writing assignment I had to do, I had to copy an Aesop's fable into three different ways to write. 

Here is the first one I wrote in a type of style called "Uncle Remus"

                                                                Da Tortoise an de Eagle

                                                              By: Elsa..... (A/N Sorry guys, you aren't getting my last name yet!) 

Now tortoise, he be walkin long like always does, trudge, trudge, trudge. He says says he, “I be so sick o’ walkin long this here hard ground, wishin’ I was doin some flyin stead.”

Now  tortoise look up and see  eagle flying up, up, up over her here head. tortoise call up loud as  he can and he says says he, “Eagle? You come down here now and you come talk to me.”

So eagle come down and he land on ground in front of tortoise and do done gone dig his claws inter the groun’ and they scrape against rock, screech, scratch, shrip, and eagle, he look at tortoise and he think, “Tortoise look fat, he make good dinner he would.”

Now tortoise, he says says he, “Eagle, I see you flyin up, up, up in sky and I says to me self,” tortoise, I want to fly like eagle.” So I calls up to you I did. Now I be a rich tortoise and I will give ya half me gold if you done gone give me flyin lessons.”

Now eagle think, “silly tortoise, you cant not fly!” but out loud he says says he, “sure I give ya flyin lessons fer half yer gold. We will start now.”

Now eagle, he be sly and he know tortoise will not never be able to fly, but he will drop and there be sharp stones on this here ground and tortoise is good an fat an he make a good dinner for eagle.

So eagle fly up then come down, whoosh , whoosh, whoosh and go pick up tortoise and bring him up, up, up and go done drop him toward de groun’ and tortoise fall. He says says he, “eagle! I give you rest me gold if you do give me landin lessons!”

But eagle just hang there up, up, up in sky and watch tortoise become his dinner because eagle, he be sly.

                                                                        To strike thine foe

                                                                               By: Elsa......

A scorpion meeteth a frog upon the bank of the  river. Scorpion asketh of frog to taketh him across the river. Frog asketh of scorpion, how do I knoweth that thou willst stingeth me? Scorpion sayith to frog, I know If stingith thou, I shall perish therein the stream.

Frog then taketh scorpion across stream, but whilest they reach upon the middle of the stream, scorpion stung frog in thine side. Frog feels himself begin to sink, but asketh of scorpion before sinking therein the waves, why?

Scorpion says to frog beforeth he dies too, because it be in thine nature to strike upon thine foes.

.This Third one is in the type of version most people are used to reading in called the HANS Christian Anderson. (IKR! HANS!! LOLOLOLOL)  But yes, that is its name. :P  Here it is......

                                                                        The Wise old Rooster

                                                                                By: Elsa.....

The sun beat heartily down, shining as bright as a star in the pale, milky blue sky. Its warm rays slanted kindly over the hard ground and shimmered on the leaves of the great towering trees which were as high as two-story buildings.  Its rays reached toward an old broken down barn, filtering inside it and casting light onto the walls making the shadows dance to a tune only they could hear.

As a ray of light illuminated the barn, a wise old rooster came hopping in slowly, his old tired legs wobbling from the strain. His once beautiful feathers, his pride and joy, were drooping from age. His once vibrant colors were fading away. Now, all he cared about in life was finding enough to eat and face another weary day on the farm.

Just as the rooster was wobbling tiredly past a pile of golden straw, the sunlight danced across a jewel embedded in the hard dirt floor of the barn. The rooster stopped and stared at it, his old brain whirling, debating whether or not to pick it up.

 “If I pick it up and bring it to my master,” he mused, “he shall surely tear down our wonderful barn in search for more treasure! All I want is food, something useful. I will not take it. What would I use it for?”

So the rooster continued on his way, leaving the jewel shining in the dirt. 

And there you have it! Three variations of three different Aesop's fables that I had to write in three different versions. Which did you guys like best? 

Try reading the Uncle Remus version out loud! Its actually quite fun to read out loud. 

FWI the Uncle Remus version is SUPPOSED to have alot of spelling errors and onomatopoeia ect. :) Just so you know. 

My least favorite to write and read was the KJV. idk why, i just never like that version..... 

Hope you liked them! 

Like I said, THIS IS NOT AN UPDATE! Lol. restating the obvious. 

Ok, Ill shut up now.

THANK YOU FOR JUST BEING AWESOME!!!
