Reading B: The Fox and the Horse

A farmer had an old horse, that used to be a wonderful servant. Since the horse was so old, the farmer wouldn't feed him because he wanted him to die and didn't want to waste his food on the useless animal. He let him go and said, "I shall not take you back again until you are stronger than a lion."

The sad horse wandered around on it's own, lonely and cold. He met a fox in the woods while he was seeking shelter. The fox asked why the horse was down. The horse explained that he was old, and couldn't work, so his owner sent him off and wouldn't take him back until he was stronger than a lion. He told the fox he didn't think there was any chance he would do that. But the fox offered to help.

The fox told the horse to lay down and play dead. The fox went to the lion nearby and told him about the dead horse, and how it would make a great meal. The lion followed the fox to the "dead" horse. The fox told the lion he would tie him to the horses tail, so the lion could drag the horse back to it's den, and eat it easily. But, the fox tricked the lion and actually tied the lions legs together.

The horse jumped up and started running, dragging the lion behind. The lion roared behind him, but the horse was determined to get to his master's home with the beast. The master was pleased with the horse, and fed him anything he could imagine.

Introduction- Haley Weger

Hi! I'm Haley Weger and I am a senior this year, graduating in May. I'm from a suburb of Houston, called Friendswood. My parents just bought a house on a small island near Galveston, so the next time I go home I will be living there. I am a Journalism major, on the broadcast track, with a minor in Human Relations. The best part about my major is that I am involved in our student-run newsroom through Gaylord, so I get real-life practice being on camera. I have the chance to learn all of the ropes and exactly how a real newsroom is run before I graduate! Outside of my classes and OU Nightly, I am also involved in greek life and the OU spirit program. I am starting my fourth year on the OU Pom Squad, and am also a member of Tri Delta. I also work at Ada High School on the side, teaching their pom squad. Right now my favorite TV shows I'm watching are Yellowstone and Ozark, but my all time favorites are New Girl and Friends. In the future, I would like to become a news or sport...

Week 11 Story: The Evil Fish

The Evil Fish. Once upon a time, 12 little fish lived in a big giant pond. These fish were very very small, smaller than most perch or bait fish. The fish were all very timid, and scared of the big pond. The big pond was also a family member of theirs: their grandmother. But, the grandmother pond was not only inhabited by the 12 little fish. She also was the home to six big huge, evil garfish. These fish were mean, and they always tried to eat the little fish. They would chase the little fish and scare them. They would back them into corners of the pond, and separate them from the group of 12. The small fish had finally had enough. They begged their grandmother river to help them. She knew this would not be an easy task, as the garfish were surprisingly clever. But, she loved her grand-fish, and would do anything to help them. She racked her brain for an idea to outsmart the garfish, and save her baby fish, and finally came up with one. She called upon the clouds above her,...
