 //** If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all **//

Once upon a time, there was a little peaceful town called Creedmoor. This town was located in the woods with nothing but forest for miles on all sides. In this little town there were little animals that controlled the whole town. Little shops for food, clothing, and other items were present in this town. Everyone got along with everyone else in this peaceful town. One rainy day, a stranger came to the town looking for some shelter and food. The strangers name was Al. Al was a giant white polar bear that travelled down from the artic to visit his cousins in the deep south. The mayor of Creedmoor was the first denizen of Creedmoor to see Al. Now the mayor was a short stubby little raccoon with a heart as big as an air balloon. “How may I help you, my friend?” the mayor asked the polar bear. The mayor stayed back a little bit because the polar bear was six feet taller then himself and wearing a dark cloak looking very suspicious. “I am in need of a room and some food for I have travelled a great deal in the rain with little rest and hardly any food” stated Al with as nice a manner he could. “Of course” the mayor replied. He took the polar bear to his house. This common courtesy was common in this town. As soon as the polar bear got settled in the mayor’s house, a large commotion took place outside in the town. Al darted outside to see what was going on. Waiting outside was a group of large black copperhead snakes. These snakes were part of a devious group of bandits that went from town to town destroying and stealing everything in the town. A few of the town soilders came to fight the snakes. These soldiers were noble foxes that wore suits of armor for protection. The battle started to go one-sided for the snakes but when Al realized his temporary place of stay was threatened, he jumped in to help the cause. Al was a natural born fighter and could handle the snakes with ease. When Al began to help fighting the fox soldiers were confused by this and yelled at him to stand down. “We don’t need the help of a low life bear” stated the leader of the foxes. The foxes of the town were the heart and soul of Creedmoor. They wanted to fight everything and do it their way by themselves. Once Al heard this he was crushed and felt unwanted so he left. He quickley fled from the battle to the woods. While Al was there the foxes were winning their battle but when the mighty polar bear left, the odds quickley changed. The foxes soon realized that while they were fighting some of the snakes, the other snakes were burning down their town. They were outnumbered. The leader of the foxes finally realized that they needed Al’s help so he turned to the woods and called for him back. There was no response to his ballyhoo. The leader of the foxes soon realized that what he had said really got to Al. All of a sudden Al and a group of polar bears came with armour and swords returned to help fight the snakes. The battle quickly ended with the help of Al and his family. After everything was settled and calm, the foxes approached the polar bears. “Thank you guys for your help. I apologize for what I had said before. I didn’t know you or your motives but I really appreciate your help,” the fox stated very sincerely, the polar bears smiled. “You're welcome, but next time if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all,” the bear said with a stern look. The foxes and mayor shook their heads with acknowledgment. The bears left town. Every once in a while they visited this peaceful town of Creedmoor. https://biomessecond08.wikispaces.com/?f=print (polar bear). www.oldrabbit.net/gpages/wtnwpage/whtsnwnf.html (raccoon) http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/animals/6725108-fox-cartoon.php?id=6725108 (fox) http://www.speedysigns.com/decals/graphic_colordecal_1291.htm (snake) http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_details.asp?individual_id=197767 (town)
