Animal Fairy Tales

Deep in the woods, in a big den, there lived a family of badgers. Father badger, mother badger, and their two lively, beautiful children. They were two badger boys. Their names were Monty and Biscuit. They were both very good. They helped their parents with everything. They helped them build complicated dens and look for food all over the forest. Their parents were very proud of them. But Monty and Biscuit were also full of energy and constantly came up with all sorts of ideas. They liked to play chase and hide and seek and were good friends with other animals. They were brave boys who weren’t afraid of anything. But one day something happened that scared them after all.

In one faraway land, there was a safari. Elephants, giraffes, antelopes, zebras, and other animals lived there. They all lived happily together in large open spaces and plains. A lion was their king. He was the strongest of them all. But he was also clever, wise, and just.

In a lovely little house by the forest there lived a goat with her baby goats. The goats were very mischievous and often did not want to obey their mother. One day the mother goat had to go out to graze and before leaving she told the baby goats, “Keep the door closed until you hear my voice. I’ll bring you an udder full of milk.”

In the middle of one deep forest, there stood an mighty old oak tree. It had a beautiful crown, and its leaves were talked about far and wide. Its trunk was so huge that not even ten adults could circle it together with their arms. It had stood there for many years. And because it was so old, it was the wisest tree in the forest.
