Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears

Grade 2 - Beye School - Oak Park, Illinois


(The sentences put together into a story)

The mosquito buzzing in your ear sounds like zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

The mosquito told a lie by saying that the yams were as big as him. It was untrue that the yams were as big as the mosquito. The iguana was grumpy because the mosquito told him a lie.The iguana didn't want to listen to the mosquito so he put sticks in his ears and went off mek mek mek mek. The iguana wanted quiet because he did not want to hear the mosquito's nonsense.

The python found the rabbit's hole and in he went wasawusu wasawusu.When the rabbit saw the python coming into her burrow, she ran out krik krik.

The crow warned the animals of danger.

The monkey went jumping kili wili through the trees to warn the animals of danger. The owlet died when the monkey jumped on the branch and it fell on the nest. As the monkey jumped, a twig fell on owl's nest and killed the owlet. Mother Owl thought the monkey was vicious because he killed one of the owlets. The Mother Owl was sad because the monkey killed the owlet.

The King Lion called each animal to come before the Council. The antelope went to get other animals from the forest so they could come to the council. All the animals gathered for the council meeting. The council met to decide who was at fault.  The animals explained to the Council what happened. The crow came to the council to explain what happened when he saw the rabbit.

Everyone was honest about what happened before the owlet died.

All the animals in the forest had a meeting to find out why the sun wasn't coming up. It was always night because Mother Owl wouldn't wake the sun so the day could come. The Mother Owl wouldn't say "whoo whoo" to call the sun so that the day could begin.

The mosquito still buzzes in people's ears and asks zeee, is everyone still angry at me? When the mosquito buzzes in people's ears and asks if they're mad at him, he gets an honest answer-kpao!
