This is a fable for my core class STORIES. For the past few weeks, we have been reading and learning about fables. We also went to a play called The Brothers Size, at the Steppen Wolf theater. In that play, there were only three characters. Two of them were brothers and the third one was a best friend. Throughout the play they used a third-person like language, where they would tell us what they were doing, like "Oshoosi went under the car." Below is a fable about a bear, a fox, and a rabbit. They all have jobs that they need to complete but some of them won't get their share done. We all chose a moral for our fable, and if you don't know what a moral is, it is a lesson in a story that you are trying to teach. So, my moral of the story is to "get your work done." We also implemented a symbol in the story which represents something in the story.
One day in Bozeman, Montana, John the Bear, Jim the Rabbit, and Bill the Fox all were working at a construction site. John the bear was a hard worker and a very responsible person, but his friends Jim the Rabbit and Bill the Fox were goofing around not doing what they were supposed to be doing. John was swinging and hitting the ground over and over again with his sledgehammer all day long. Bill and Jim would laugh and never get their share of the work done, even when their boss Oscar the Porcupine would tell them to get back to work. John the Bear always kept to himself with his sledgehammer all day long and all day long, Bill and Jim would try to make John stop working and play with them, but John never did. One day Bill and Jim were goofing off and Oscar confronted them about it. He told them that if they kept ignoring work then they will get in a lot of trouble. They said that they understood but really they were upset at John. They thought that he told Oscar about how they were having fun. So, Jim and Bill decided to prank John the next day. It took them a while to think of the perfect prank but eventually, they thought of it.
Jim and Bill made sure that they got to the worksite before John, so they could pull the prank on him. Their big prank was that they were going to hide his sledgehammer from him. They waited all morning for John to show up and when John arrived at the worksite they almost gave their hiding spot away because they were about to laugh their faces off. When John saw that his sledgehammer had disappeared from the place that he left it, so he looked. Desperate to get back to work, John decided to go out and buy a new hammer to get back to work. When he got back, Jim and Bill saw the opportunity to confront him. Jim stopped him and yelled, “Why did you snitch on me and bill to Oscar!” John was very confused at this point. He told them that he had no idea what they were talking about. But Jim didn’t believe him so they argued back and forth with Jim getting angrier after every word, so much so that Oscar heard this arguing and ran over to see what was going on. Oscar told them that he knew that Jim and Bill were goofing off since the first day they started. Jim and Bill knew that they had made a mistake by hiding the sledgehammer from John, do they gave him his sledgehammer back. They apologized to him and asked him to forgive them. He forgave them and told them that they need to learn to get their work done, be more responsible and take ownership of your own actions. Oscar was upset and toled Jim and Bill that they would be finishing the rest of John’s job for him. They then went out and bought two new sledgehammers for themselves to finish the job that John was doing. Jim and Bill decided to take John’s advice and they learned to work harder and be more responsible
