Please share the link far and wide—we’d love to tell the kids that 500 people have listened to their stories! And if the people you share it with love the recordings (we think they will!), please let them know they can donate to support the kids as well.

There once was a dog who liked to play puzzles, but the cat took all the dog’s glasses so the dog could not see. This caused the world to cry and give up puzzles. Soon the cat would take over the world. Cat lovers would be happy because their time with cats is precious. We will all give cats puzzles because they secretly love puzzles.

The bee got shot by lightning. The bee’s wings got burned. Thankfully, the bee had a parachute. When the bee landed, he heard foot steps. He turned around and saw a tree burning. Because that special tree burned, the world got smaller and smaller. The special tree was stopping the arrow from shooting the Earth. But then the arrow did get shot into Earth and the world exploded. The aliens were whispering about it for years and years. It was a mystery.

Once upon a time, a little princess saw a castle and she said, “I can stay there?” In the castle there was a big dragon, but the princess said to the dragon, “Can I stay at the castle?” 

The dragon said, “Why?” and the princess said, “Because out there it is cold and the castle is cozy. Please?” 

“OK, but can you bring food for me?” said the dragon and the princess said, “Yes. Can I be your friend?” and the dragon said, “Yes, let’s be friends” 

The end.

My brain is weird.  
My brain is bright. 
Unlike my clothes, 
My brain is emo.

If aliens were humans and humans were aliens ... I have no clue what would happen. Chaos! Or the aliens would fix the world. But ... if we were in space 24/7, we would only learn about space.
