My grand daughter Wrote a Story

                 The Butterfly and The Peacock

                                                                         By: Breanna Mayon

One day in the Audubon zoo in New Orleans

There was a peacock with beautiful feathers named Yoshi. There was also a Monarch butterfly named Rio. The peacock thought he was better than the butterfly.

The people thought both the peacock and the butterfly were beautiful. Rio was a wise, calm butterfly and he knew that just because he was small and old, Yoshi was not better than him. One day a hippopotamus named Fred overheard the peacock boasting about himself and did not like it. Right on side the hippo’s pen is the viper’s cage. A Particular snake named Lee 

was Fred’s friend. Fred told everything he had heard the peacock saying, Lee did not like that either. Rio the butterfly was everyone’s friend, except Yoshi’s. Yoshi was making a plan to get rid of the butterfly and he planned to do it when everyone was not suspecting it. He planned to make Rio think he’s his friend and then when he came close enough he would step on Rio. After that Yoshi thought he’d be the king of colors. As soon as Rio stopped to visit Fred, Fred told him the peacock’s plan. He told him to try to keep his distance and not to be deceived by Yoshi. Because Rio was wise he went over there at night still knowing not to get to close. As soon as Yoshi saw him he started trying to convince Rio to come to him but everything he tried did not convince wise Rio. Rio now started thinking of a plan of his own; He was going to tell everybody what Yoshi was going to do and he was going to tell everybody not to be his friend.

The next day Rio told everyone what Yoshi was going to do and told them not to be his friend. When Yoshi went to be with his friend’s, they ignored him and walked away. When Yoshi went to talk to the hippo’s they too ignored him and walked away, and the same with anyone Yoshi tried to talk to. For days this kept going on. Yoshi thought maybe because he was mean to Rio, no one wanted to be his friend. When the peacock saw the butterfly he apologized to him and became friends with the butterfly. Rio told everyone they could be Yoshi’s friend again and everyone was Yoshi’s friend. That afternoon Rio and Yoshi sat watching the hot air balloons circle in the sky, while Rio sucked the nectar from a small piece of watermelon. 

                 

From then on Yoshi the peacock was never mean or ugly to anyone ever again.

The End.
