THE GREEDY LESSON
THE GREEDY LESSON
Cookie was taking her usually walked through the
neighborhood park one afternoon. When she stumbled upon
a big apple tree that made her stomach growled loudly
Oh wow! I bet one of those apples will fill me up she thought
to herself. Cookie started circling the tree looking for the
perfect ripe apple that she can eat. But all she could see
were only green ones
Cookie then tried climbing the tree but each time she
attempted to climb the tree she’d come sliding down. Her
legs weren’t strong enough to lift her up. After all she was
just a small yorkie and who ever heard of a dog climbing
trees before. So she tried of another way she gathered some
rocks and piled them on top of each other in hopes to reach
the apple. But once she tried it she came tumbling down
rocks and all
Cookie’s stomach was really growling now and she was
growing more and more determine to reach that apple. She
was deep in thought on how to get it that she didn’t noticed
when her friend Tommy the tiger cub came walking up the
path
Hi Cookie! What are you up to today? He asked
Nothing much I’m just sitting here enjoining this warm
beautiful day
Oh well have fun then Tommy smiled then took off down the
path. Now Cookie could’ve asked Tommy to help her pick the
apple. But she was to greedy who only wanted the apple to
herself
She was still deep in thought when her friend came strolling
up the path Daisy the penguin
Hello Cookie why are you sitting beneath this apple tree
looking so sad
Oh no Daisy I’m not sad Cookie answered I’m just enjoining
this beautiful day
Well okay just as long there’s nothing wrong Daisy answered
before she ran off. Cookie sighed she knew that Daisy was
the best tree climber in her school and would’ve been more
then happy to get the apple for her. But once again Cookie’s
greed got the best of her
Cookie was getting hungrier by each passing second and
every time she’d look at the apple her mouth would water.
Soon another of her friends passed by this time it was Vicky
the dragonfly
Good day Cookie why are you wasting such a nice day just
sitting underneath this apple tree when you could be playing
or digging bones
Oh no I’m perfectly happy just sitting here enjoining the day
I see ok then I’ll see you later then Vicky said then took off
down the path
Cookie could hardly sit still any longer she tried climbing the
tree again. But one more time she fell on her butt a few
minutes later Andre the weasel came towards her
Say Cookie what do you think your doing? Dogs can’t climb
trees
Now it was known through out the neighborhood that Andrew
could not be trusted. He’d play mean tricks on Cookie and
her friends. So the last person Cookie wanted to tell about
the apple was him but she was so hungry that she couldn’t
think straight anymore
I’m so hungry and there’s a nice ripe apple in the middle of
all those green ones. And if you’d climb and pick it for me I’ll
share it with you Cookie answered then showed him where it
was
Why sure Cooks no problem I’ll be more then happy to get it
for you
Oh thank you
Don’t thank me just yet wait until I get it for you first! Andrew
laughed
Minutes seemed like hours and there was no sign of Andrew
What’s taking him so long? Maybe I should’ve kept my
mouth shut
She started to get nervous when she saw that her friends
coming towards her
Cookie come and play hide and seek with us Vicky said
Sorry I cant Cookie sobbed
Why?
All day I’ve been trying to grab this ripe apple from this tree I
didn’t want to tell you bout it cause I didn’t want share it with
you. But I became so desperate that I finally asked Andrew
to get it for me but he has been gone for a very long time
Cookie’s friends looked at one another then busted out
laughing
Cookie how dumb can you be? Tommy laughed don’t you
know that Andrew is the last dude you can trust. He’s
probably grabbed your apple then took off without you even
noticing that he was gone
Cookie was going to answer him when Andrew climbed
down the tree licking his lips
Thanks for having me find such a yummy apple its was so
nice and juicy. See you losers later! He laughed
You see that’s what you get Cookie if you had asked one of
us to get it for you. You wouldn’t be miserable right now but
you were to greedy and wanted it all for yourself and got
ripped off Vicky scowled her
You’re right I’m sorry you guys I was only thinking about
myself. I learned my lesson and promise never to do
something as dumb ever again. Begin greedy isn’t worth it
you lose to much cause of it Cookie sobbed
Oh don’t cry Cookie its okay we forgive you come on let’s get
out of here. And find you something to eat before you starve
to death! Daisy laughed
Cookie wagged her tail happily as she and her friends
walked off joking and goofing with one another to enjoin the
rest of the day
