Reading B: Grandmother River's Trick

 

A group of small fish were in danger of being eaten by a long, skinny gar fish. They were in danger because the garfish could easily catch the small baby fish. The small fish tried to swim to safety, but the big garfish would catch them with it's long snout and eat them. The big gar fish were always on the hunt, searching day and night for little baby fish to feast on. 

The small fish cried out to their grandmother, the river, to save them. The grandmother decided to play a trick on the big scary fish to save the little fish. She called upon the clouds to rain onto the river and scare the big fish. 

The rain poured down, and the Grandmother river continued to grow. The garfish swam into the bushes that had overflown, looking for more food. It was time for the trick! She dried up the banks, so the garfish were stuck in their own pools. They were so angry and leap in the air trying to escape. But, she did not let them go because she had saved all of the little fish.

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 3 Story: The Creation of Fluffy and Roxy

When God created the heavens and the earth, he realized there was something important missing- inhabitants.  When God thought of all of the different creatures he could create to inhabit his beautiful creation, he decided he needed something lovable, that would appreciate all that he had done. What did he decide on you may ask? First- a fluffy puppy. God created this lovable, cheerful creature from the dirt, and he was very happy with his decision. God named this fluffy puppy what you can imagine: Fluffy. Soon enough, Fluffy became lonely, and bored with no other creatures to play with. God decided to create another being, this time from Fluffy himself. By taking one of sweet Fluffy's ribs, God created Roxy: a loving companion for Fluffy. God decided on the rib, after thoughts of many different options during creation. Why not the mouth? Some might ask. Because if created from the mouth, Roxy would spend her life barking at everything. Why not the paw? Because Roxy would spend her ...
