1. The Old Days
By Celia

2. Once in the kingdom of the ski monsters there was the best skier Cabob. His blue eyes flashed. He was
almost back to the castle from his ski run. He was so awesome at skiing that his friends got jealous and gave up
on being his friend. "Oh no," thought Cabob, "Nobody likes me!" Now Cabob, you see, has a magenta body and
blue eyes. Cabob flung himself on his bed and thought that he needed to give up skiing. But he loved skiing and
didn't know what to do.

3. Cabob decided to make friends or win back his old ones. He set out, saying "Bye" to his mom, the
queen, and set off to make new friends, if not make up with his old. He strolled up to Ski. Ski snickered, "Do
you still do that lame sport skiing?" Cabob trudged away. He bumped into Winter. Cabob had no time to
speak. Winter cut him off quickly and teased him. Cabob sighed and walked slowly away. Just then the new
kid, Snow, squealed. She was about to fall off the monkey bars. "Help," she cried. Cabob hoisted her up.
"Let's be friends," they said together. Then they went to the castle and Cabob told Snow about having no
friends, and Snow had the same problem!

4. They tried to make friends but it never worked. "I've got an idea," said Snow. She explained they
should push a boulder to Benny and she would save him. Their friends were over at the park. Snow
pushed the boulder. Benny just stepped to the side and scowled. Their plan did not work.

5. Benny's mom announced a road trip. Like the old days Cabob, Benny and Winter packed up. They
all got in the car. Then a grin creeped over Benny's face, then Winter's. "Just like the old days," said
Benny, and they all hugged each other and laughed.

6. Cabob introduced them to Winter and they became great friends. Every day when they were
walking through the park Cabob thanked the old days.
