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 2 Story: Fluffy and his Sticks

Once upon a time, a mother dog had three little puppies. Those puppies names were Princess, Spot, and Fluffy. Princess and Spot had all of the toys they could possibly think of, as well as every treat on the planet to enjoy. They were cute puppies, but they were quite greedy. Fluffy on the other hand, was perfectly content playing with a stick, sock, or leftover water bottle. One day, the mother dog headed to Petsmart to pick up some things for the dogs' upcoming week. She asked each one of her puppies if they needed anything from the store. Princess and Fluffy named all kinds of new toys, treats, and top shelf dog food they wanted their mother to buy. They listed different Petsmart items for hours, while Fluffy sat playing with her stick. She was unbothered by her brother and sister's greediness. After the mother dog had enough of hearing Princess an Spot's demands, she turned to Fluffy. All Fluffy asked for was three new sticks, of course if it wasn't a burden on her
