Once upon a time there was a big family.  They loved each other very much. They liked to do many things together. They liked to go camping, swimming, bowling, and bike riding.  They also enjoyed working together. They knew that when they worked together things got done a lot faster so that they had more time to play.

One Saturday the family was working hard all day.  They weeded the garden, trimmed the trees, picked some produce and mowed the lawn.  After the work was done they went inside and got cleaned up.  It was almost 5 o'clock so they decided it would be fun to go to their favorite restaurant for dinner.  They called their grandma and asked if she wanted to go with them.  She decided to meet them there.

The family got to the restaurant and ordered their food.  Grandma ordered some Mexican food.  When she got it she asked for some spicey cheese.  The waitress brought it out for her.  Grandma took a bit of it and said it was really good.  After only a few seconds she started to get the hiccups.  She hiccupped and hiccupped and hiccupped.  Then all of the sudden a tail popped out of the back of her pants.  It looked like a rope.  They started to laugh, even grandma. They didn't know what to do.  All they could think of was that it came from the cheese.

Dad called the waitress over and asked her if she knew what was in the cheese. She said she didn't.  They showed her the tail and she said she had never seen that happen before.  She said that the cheese was imported from India.

Since there really was nothing they could do about the tail they decided to leave the restaurant.  They walking out to the car and grandma had to hold her tail so that it wouldn't drag on the ground.  The kids were asking grandma over and over again what she was going to do about her tail.  Being the positive person their grandma was she said, "Well I don't know.  I've never had a tail before.  I'm sure there are a lot of great things you can do with a tail."

Once upon a time there was a boy.  His name was Daren.  He was one of the funniest kids around.  He always made funny faces and jokes.  He was also very kind.  He felt sad for people who didn't have friends.  He wanted to give money and food to the homeless and help people to always be happy.  He also loved to run and play outside.  He didn't like to sit still.  People loved being around him!

But Daren had a problem.  He was kinda bossy.  He liked to tell people what to do.  He liked being in charge and making the rules.  This made things hard for Daren, especially at school.  Sometimes he didn't want to do what he was asked to do.  He wanted to make his own rules and be in charge of himself.

Now Daren's teacher didn't really like this because she had 23 students in her class and she needed all the children to listen and follow the directions because it is important to follow the rules.  She would tell Daren to please listen and follow the rules.

Poor Daren want to be good and wanted to do what he was suppose to, but it was so hard.  Sometimes he would get board in class and ask to use the bathroom just to be able to go in the hall for a minute.  Other times he would get up and sharpen his pencil just to be able to walk around the class room. Sometimes he would day dream of being awesome places other than school.

Daren's parents loved him so much.  They knew that because he liked to be in charge that he would be a good leader one day.  They also knew that he would be a hard worker because he didn't like sitting still.  They wanted Daren to be smart so they sent him to school so he could learn things like math, science, English, art and history.

One day while Daren was at school he started to day dream.  It was such a cool day dream too.  His teacher was talking about Christopher Columbus and sailing to America.  Daren was sitting at his desk when suddenly his desk started to rock back and forth, back and forth.  He looked around only to see that his classmates were gone.  There were now many sailors in there place. Instead of a teacher there was a captain.  Daren had just day dreamed himself onto a ship headed for America.

After a long look around and rubbing his eyes many times he realized that he better move his school desk out of the way.  The sailors were running everywhere. Daren didn't know what was going on.
