Original Stories
The Ant Who Saved Her Colony
by Harper, age 9, Washington
Once there was an ant named Liza who saved her colony! She lived in a star-shaped hole in the wall of a human’s house. One day the humans put a square box on the counter that smelled so sweet. Liza, who was top of her class at spelling in Ant Academy, walked across the letters on the box, sounding them out as she went. A-n-t....”oh, no, that spells ANT TRAP!” she thought. So she went back to the colony and warned all the others. “Beware!” she said, “That box over there says ant trap!” The ants never went in the trap, and thanks to her, the colony was safe. And they lived happily ever after in the hole in the wall. The end.
Our arrangement of The Ant Who Saved Her Colony was written by Henry Koperski and Larry Owens, produced by Brendan O’Grady, with vocal arrangement and direction by Jack Mitchell.
The Boy Who Couldn’t Stop Crying
by Weylyn, age 6, Rhode Island
Once there was a boy who couldn’t stop crying. He cried and cried and cried and cried until his whole house was flooded. His mom was wearing a scuba mask and inside of the scuba mask she had to call a whole stream of clowns. When they came in they had to come in in boats. Once the kid the saw he laughed and laughed and laughed and for some reason the tears dried out. The end.
