Week 9 Storytelling: The Origin of Countries

Once in the history of the world, was a great field and that field was full of plants and crops that were precious for the life of the people who lived in the area. One day a monster of sorts came to the field and decided this is where he would like to live his life. He was a greedy creature that was interested in none other than himself. He was very large standing taller than most trees, his head seemed to scrape the clouds. He had horizontal stripes up and down his body and he wore the ugliest of all sweaters! He refused to share the precious crops with the people that lived in the area. 

One day the bulldog heard of the injustice that was happening in the plains. He decided being the most courageous and cunning of all animals to investigate the situation and attempt to help the people. He set off on his new adventure all the while trying to think of how to trick the creature. Just before he arrived at the edge of the crops he had finally rendered a plan to deceive the ugly sweater wearing monster and save the people of the plains. 

Being so cunning the bulldog started tending to the crops and this soon came to the attention of the creature. With a mighty roar that sounded like the howling of mighty winds the monster awoke and ran to the bulldog. “Why do you take MY crops?” The Monster asked. “Oh... Mr. Monster I am gratefully sorry, but I am the crops health inspector and your crops are not healthy enough for consumption. I am going to have to confiscate all your crops, but do not weep for your loss because I have brought you new crops that will be the healthiest crops ever!”

Superhero Bulldog

“Well, thank you inspector. I really appreciate it.” Said the creature. 

So the bulldog set out to harvest all of the “rotten” crops and when he finished he gave the ugly sweater wearing creature a bag of seeds. But, these seeds were not ordinary seeds they were laced with Ricin, a powerful poisonous drug that would cause instant death. 

Once the monster was dead the bulldog cut him up into little pieces. He planted the pieces in different areas of the world and this is how there came to be different countries! He also gave the harvested crops to the Plains people who waited so patiently for their crops. 

Authors Note: The Origin of Tribes - For this story I retold a story that explain the origin of Tribes. So it starts with a very pristine and beautiful lake were a giant beaver lived. Animal people wanted to fish in the lake, but they could not because the giant beaver named Wishpoosh would kill the people. A coyote decided to challenge the great beaver. He began fishing and was quickly attacked. The coyote speared the great beaver and Wishpoosh fell to the bottom of the lake drag gin the coyote with him. The coyote fought back though and soon the had created many lakes from the fighting. Finally coyote being so cunning allowed Wishpoosh to swallow him and coyote then cut open his intestines and dragged the giant beaver to shore. He cut Wishpoosh up and from various body parts created different tribes!
