Striker the Python Saves Mouse World

One of my favorite parts of homeschooling is experiencing my kids' creativity.

This week in English Hockey Player is learning about Tall Tales.

This is his tall tale:

Striker the Python Saves Mouse World
By

Striker the Python is on his midnight hunt for rats. The two mile long python eats 10 million rats a night and is feeling just a little bit hungry tonight. When he happens to taste the air and smells mutant rats.
Striker says, “Mmmm, Mutant Rats, yummy.”
Striker is drawn to the mutant rats because they are bigger and more satisfying.
He follows the scent to mouse world where he discovers the mutant rats are torturing mice. The mutant rats are hanging some of the mice by their tails and plucking their whiskers off. Meanwhile, other mice are being used as balls in games of keep away.
Remembering the mice saved him from poachers, Striker begins to slowly coil himself around the campsite. With one quick squeeze he captures the campsite. He carefully refrains from eating the mice and he begins to attack and eat the mutant rats.
The mice tell Striker the Python, “Thank you for saving Mouse World.”
Striker says, “You’re welcome.”
Mouse World is safe.
