Once upon a time there was a squirrel named Sassy. Sassy lived in a giant tree castle. It was winter and someone stole Sassy’s acorns. So Sassy went to see the Giant Cat’s castle which was right up the street. “I can’t find my acorns; can you help me find them, oh great one?” said Sassy to the Giant Cat. So the Giant Cat said “I will help you if you go on a quest. I will tell you who stole your acorns”. The Giant Cat’s name was Taxes. The quest was to find a sheep that Taxes had lost. Quizlet was his name. So Sassy went on the quest and found a lot of things. The first person he met was Seth. He was a fish that could live without water. Pg.1

“What makes you come by here?” asked Seth. “ I need to find a sheep named Quizlet; have you seen him?” asked Sassy. “Yes I have,” said Seth. “ He tried to take my coat,” said Seth angrily. “ Oh no,” said Sassy. So they set out to find Taxes. They came upon a donkey named Bobby. “Have you seen a sheep named Quizlet?” asked Sassy. “ Well yes” said Bobby. “That striped sheep took my onions.” said Bobby. “ Well do you want to come along?” asked Sassy. “Sure” said Bobby. It was a long trip to the lake. They finally got to the lake and they couldn’t believe what they saw. The lake was filled with magical creatures such as Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. “ You’re in the land of the fairy tale creatures.” said Snow White. There on the other side of the lake was Quizlet. Pg.2

Seth and everyone else made him give everything back. Sassy charged Quizlet with stealing. Then, they all lived happily ever after.
