Wabbity's Lesson

This was my story for English:
Tell a story to 10-year-olds why you should be grateful.

Once upon a time, there was a monkey, yes, a monkey. He has nothing to do with this story but I'd just like you all to know that he's there. But somewhere in the forest, there lived a rabbit. He had a lovely house which was carved into a tree which he always took for granted because he just had been given it by his parents. He lived next to the Keebler elves who were always so nice to him because they gave him their leftover cookies of the day because they were watching their weights so that they could always fit inside their tiny doors. Wabbity, which was the name of our rabbit, was by far the best runner in the forest. On Thursdays and Fridays, there were races in the forest, and Wabbity always won because he was so fast. But he never practiced for it because he was too lazy to really care. He was also a poor winner because he taunted everyone he beat in the races that he won.


One day, there was a butterfly. She also, like the monkey, has nothing to do with this story but I thought you'd just like to know that she was there. Another day, a Goon came into the forest looking for a home. After learning his lesson in another story, he decided he needed a new place to live. He searched the whole forest and didn't find a home. He saw Wabbity's home and asked Wabbity if he could stay at his house for the night. But Wabbity was very mean to the Goon and told him to get lost. Wabbity soon slammed the door on the Goon and he walked away feeling sad. Assuming that everyone else in the forest was like that, the Goon checked into the nearby Three Bear's Inn and slept there for the night.


The next morning, the Goon went out for a nice easy jog. He passed by Pleepy Porcupine's house as Pleepy was waking up. When Pleepy saw the Goon, he shouted, "Hey you! You should enter the races and beat the grumpy bunny this week. The first one's on Thursday." The Goon thought about it for a minute and decided to do it. After all, what had he to lose?


On a cheery Wednesday, Wabbity and his friend Foo Foo were hopping through the forest. They were on their way to get some ice cream. Wabbity wanted Rocky Road and Foo Foo wanted strawberry ice cream. They were taking a shortcut through the field when Wabbity saw the field mice waking up from an afternoon nap.


He pointed them out to Foo Foo and whispered, "Let's go bop those wimps on the head. Wouldn't that be fun? We'll just sneak up there, scoop up those mice and bop them on the head."


Foo Foo looked at him and said, "I don't know man, won't the mice get hurt?"


"Who cares? It'll be fun, watch me." Foo Foo just watched and tried to stop Wabbity while he snuck over to the field mice and then bopped them on the head.


Just then the Good Fairy came out of the sky and said, "Wabbity, you have been a very bunny. I have no choice but to turn you into a GOoN. As for you Foo Foo, for being so kind to the field mice, you can have as much strawberry ice cream as you want. I hope you both have a hunky-dory day." Normally, if you're turned into a Goon, you only have one capitol letter in your name to say how bad you were. But since Wabbity was triply bad, he was now a GOoN. With a flick of her wand, Wabbity was an official GOoN, which qualifies for the GA (Goon Association) and discounts at movie theaters.


Wabbity the GOoN went home after that feeling all woozy. He woke up the next morning feeling full of souch (which has a special kind of feeling). He got dressed for the race and headed down to the track.


When he got there the Goon saw Wabbity the GOoN and welcomed him to the race. When Craig the Crane saw them both there he asked if either of them owned a house. Wabbity the GOoN of course said yes which scared Craig the Crane because of the rule J.324324.4spungungle, if two Goons of any class are in a race together when one has a house and the other doesn't, the winner of the two gets the house and the non-winner (it's much nicer), gets a free picnic but he doesn't get the house.


"Any questions?" asked Craig. "Because you can still drop out of the race if you're too scared." But neither GOoN nor the Goon would step down.


When the race started, Wabbity the GOoN felt like he was going to puke but the Goon on the other hand got off to a rocket start. History peop0le later believed that because the Good fairy had just cast a spell on Wabbity the GOoN, he still felt to new to being a GOoN so he couldn't take it. The Goon won the race and because he had beaten another Goon, he transformed back into a pizza turtle named Tony. He also got a new house which made him very happy.


On the other side of the forest, Wabbity the GOoN realized that there was more to life than winning, so he traveled to the nearest forest to teach the next new GOoOoOoOoOoON a lesson.
