Level 3 :: Week 2
A long long time ago, elephants had small,
shiny and beautiful noses. Vain that they were,
they would always turn their noses up in the air
when they passed by any other animal. Of
course, the other animals did not like this very
much. Finally, one clever monkey decided to do
something about it.
He went up to the wise hermit who lived on
the mountain and asked if there was some way
to make the elephants' noses long and ugly.
"I do have some Magic Pepper with me. It
can do just that," said the hermit. But he
refused to give it to the monkey.
But the monkey was extremely clever. He
waited till the hermit went to sleep and went
into his hut. He quickly took a handful of the
Magic Pepper and ran away from the mountain
back to the forest.
There he saw the elephants drinking from the
lake. He sneaked up to the lake and emptied all
the Magic Pepper into the water. The elephants
continued drinking, blissfully unaware that they
the Magic Pepper was making their noses grow.

Level 4 :: Week 2
Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a rabbit
who was made almost entirely of china. He had china arms
and china legs, china paws and a china head, a china torso
and a china nose. His arms and legs were jointed and
joined by wire so that his china elbows and china knees
could be bent, giving him much freedom of movement.
His ears were made of real rabbit fur, and beneath the
fur, there were strong, bendable wires, which allowed the
ears to be arranged into poses that reflected the rabbit’s
mood--jaunty, tired, full of ennui. His tail, too, was made
of real rabbit fur and was fluffy and soft and well shaped.
The rabbit’s name was Edward Tulane, and he was tall.
He measured almost three feet from the tip of his ears to
the tip of his feet; his eyes were painted a penetrating and
intelligent blue.
In all, Edward Tulane felt himself to be an exceptional
specimen. ONly his whiskers gave him pause. They were
long and elegant (as they should be), but they were of
uncertain origin. Edward felt quite strongly that they were
not the whiskers of a rabbit. Whom the whiskers had
belonged to initially--what unsavory animal--was a
question that Edward could not bear to consider for long.
And so he did not.
Edward’s mistress was a ten-year-old, dark-haired girl
named Abigail Tulane, who thought almost as highly of
Edward as Edward thought of himself.
“Now Edward,” she said to him after winding his small
pocketwatch, “when the big hand is on the twelve and the
little hand is on the three, I will come home to you.”
