THE FABLE
In a far away land on a mountain there was a community of animals that consisted of SHEEP, DEER, BEARS, BUNNIES, OWLS and some other animals. Under a big tree the young animals went to school everyday. Since the community was small in the school there where only a few students there was a SHEEP called Steven, a DEER called Tommy and a little BEAR called Barry. One day unexpectedly a new student arrived to class this animal was a BUNNY called Albert and he was brown and this was weird because no one in the class had ever seen a brown bunny. When he first stepped into class everybody asked him all kinds of questions so many questions he did not even answer one. The teacher then told everyone to be quiet and asked the scared BUNNY what his name was and he answered, "my name is Albert and I am from a land far from here called Tropical Forest". The other animals in the class all laughed and Tommy the DEER shouted "Tropical Forest! What kind of place is that?" Then Albert said, "Well it is a pretty nice place you should come sometime" Then the whole class laughed at Albert. "Why would anyone want to leave the beautiful mountains they all thought? Then the class ended and since Albert the BUNNY noticed that Tommy the DEER was the leader of the group Albert the BUNNY kindly asked him if he could play with him and all the other animals and Albert the Tommy the DEER laughed at him and said "WHAT! You are weird and brown why would anyone want to play with you? then the sad BUNNY just left the BUNNY cried on his way home. When he got home his mom saw him crying and Albert told his mom that the kids at school did not like him because he was brown and from a different place. His mom then made him some hot cocoa and told him it was going to be okay. The days kept passing and the animals at school where the same to Albert. Only one day Barry the BEAR approached him and told him to play with him. Albert was so happy when this happened. After this Barry the BEAR noticed that even tough Albert looked different he was still pretty fun. And from this day forward Barry the BEAR decided he would never ever discriminate someone by their looks. The days kept going and Barry and The Albert became best friends. Even tough Albert and Barry where now friends the other animals did not talk to Albert. Then one day all of a sudden one of the biggest trees in the mountains was tore down by what it seemed to everyone like a bear with no hair that walked with two legs. The OWL then said that it was a human and that their job was to destroy everything they see. Then there was a town meeting to talk about what was happening then when the OWL explained that humans are here to destroy everything they see, everybody started to panic and some even started crying. "It is the end of the world they all thought" . "We must leave someplace else the OWL said" but no one knew where to go. Then all of a sudden Barry the BEAR shouted, "I know where we can all go”. Barry then explained that His friend Albert had told him great stories about his old home the Tropical Forest where the trees where green and the water was clear. Then the town agreed that they where all to move to the Tropical Forest. The town realized that the person that they where most mean to was the one that would save them after all. When they asked Albert for help he gladly helped the town move. And so they left. It took three whole weeks to get there and all along the way the town kept saying mean things to Albert about how he was a liar. Albert just kept ignoring them and told them the way. Finally they arrived to the Tropical Forest and they where all amazed at how beautiful the place was. When they got there they realized how mean they had been and they all said sorry to Albert and like the BEAR they all made a promise to themselves to never judge anyone by how they look.
