On the farm There was a small dog called Bobik on a big farm. There were other animals like: geese, cows, sheep, chick, some pigs and an old horse. A farmer Mr Kowalski was a good man and he loved his animals very much. They were very happy together. But one day, a terrible thing happened. Mr Kowalski married a bad woman. She was called Joanna Nieznośna. Joanna hated the animals because she wanted to live in a city. She asked her husband to sell the farm and move to the city. The farmer didn’t want to do it but he loved his wife. First, he sold the horse and sheep. Then he wanted to sell Bobik. But something happened in the evening. Mrs Kowalska was at her sister in the city, Mr Kowalski was watching TV when his barn started to burn. The farmer didn’t notice anything because he fell asleep. Fortunately, Bobik noticed the fire, he asked all animals to leave the farm and then he woke up the farmer. Mr Kowalski called the fire brigade. The farm was safe. Mr Kowalski didn’t want to sell the farm and animals any more. He got divorced with his wife and stayed on the farm. by Ania, age 12

By the pond One day a small bear was sitting under the tree on the hill. He was dreaming about swimming like a fish or a frog. He thought ‘’Why not to try!!’’. And he did it. Unfortunately, it turned out that bears couldn’t swim like fish. The bear was in troubles. He was going to drawn. He was terrified, he was screaming and shouting. Suddenly, he felt he is flying. The two big green frogs saved him. From that time, the bear never tried to swim again. by Eliza, age 11

Forest friends A long time ago, behind seven mountains, there was a bear. His name was Jim. He liked going to the forest to eat some sweet honey. Jim lived in the cave in the green forest. He liked his home and meeting his friends. He had a lot of friends from the green forest. His best friend was a hedgehog Tommy. They spent a lot of time by the river. They swam, ran and played hide and seek. One day Jim met a little bird on the bank. The bird had a broken wing. Jim decided to take him home and help. The little bird was grateful and wanted to be Jim’s friend. Jim was very happy because he had a new friend. All friends lived happily ever after. by Cyprian, age 13
