The Terrible Triangle
Once there lived a triangle. Who like all triangles was
always busy as a bee. The things he liked to be most were
a sail on a sail boat and a piece of pie. His favorite thing of
all was to be a end to a tent and listen to scary ghost
stories to tell his friends. They always cheerfully listened.
Soon the triangle began to feel gloomy. He went to the
shapebaker and asked her to add 3 more sides and three
more angles. “Just hope into my magical oven please,”
said the shapebaker. “WOW!” said the triangle, for now it
was not a triangle, it was a hexagon! He jumped happily.
Like my ring?!
I’m so
nice
looking!
Yeah!
Once again the shape was happy. For now it could be a
snowflake, a hole in a bee hive, and his favorite thing of all
was to be a pretty diamond ring , so he could sparkle and
shine. His friends thought he was stuck up because he
never really talked to them any more.
Soon the hexagon became dissatisfied. He went to the
shapebaker. “Can you give me 2 more sides and to more
angles. Then I will be happy.” Said the hexagon. “Just hop
into my magical oven!” Said the shapebaker. “WOW!” Said
the hexagon, for now it was a octagon! He skipped Gladly.
Once again the shape was happy. Now the things he liked
to do most were a tile, a stop sign, and his favorite thing of
all was to be a hole in a shopping cart. “That way I can see
what the best foods are.” Said the octagon. His friends
were sad because he never played with them any more.
Soon the octagon became displeased. He went back to
the shapebaker. “Can you take away 5 sides and 5
angles? I want to be myself again.” “Easy as pie,” said
the shapebaker. “Phew,” said the shape, for now he was
once again a triangle! He ran quickly to go see his
friends!
Once again the shape was exited! He loved to be a sail, a
piece of pie, and his favorite thing of all was to be a end
to a tent and listen to ghost stories to tell his friends. Not
only was he himself again, he had learned his lesson.
It’s good to be yourself!
