hey readers... I wrote this in Grade 6... and I just found it... thought i would share my 2 stories, tell me what you think!

The Greedy Rat

It was just another warm and sunny day in the big city. There were many animals in the big city. There were pets, there were wild animals and there were people. There was this one very greedy rat his name was Larry.

Larry was the meanest rat in the city. Some say it was because he didn't have family. Others say that he liked to be mean. He loved to trick people-animals in this case-in doing stuff for him. Larry was one of the animals that were always hungry, even if he just ate. His most favorite food was pie, no matter what flavor it was, no matter if it was hot or cold, not even if it dropped on the ground he'd still eat it! The bigger the pie was the happier Larry would be. He never shares anything and even if he does share he would get the bigger and better one.

One day, Larry was just having a little stroll on the sidewalk. Just then something happened, a great strong smell of pie just drifted by. Larry slowly followed the smell to a near by house. The smell of the pie was coming out of a window and sure enough there was the pie.

"Pie!" Larry yelled with joy, "it's pie, I love pie!" Larry sniffed some more, "Oh, blueberry! I also love blue berry. Oh no, the human is there! I got to get someone else to get that pie for me! It's so high and I don't want to die!"

He started to look for the one foolish enough to listen to him and get his pie for him. "Who would be my fool?" he wondered in his head, "who shall be foolish enough to get my pie at the human's house?"

"Hi Larry," called a voice, "what are you doing?" Larry listened more closely, "Larry?" it was Isabelle the cat, a very cleaver cat. She was a fine feline who loved pie too. She loves everything, especially helping others. She was a great climber and jumper too! Larry thought for a while.

"Oh, sorry," Larry replied, "I was just thinking of something. Hey, you like pie right?"

"Ya," Isabelle called back, "I love pie! Why?" Isabelle knew there was something going on with Larry. Everybody knows she adores pie.

"Oh, I was just wondering," Larry lied, " if you would want some of my pie. I have alot of pie and I can't finish it all, Nothing much, I just need help getting it finished before it gets cold."

Now there was something weird going on with Larry. Larry was best known for his greediness. Larry and sharing put together was just too freaky and too good to be true. He just never shares with anyone, and Isabelle knew this. "Sure, I'll help get it down for you," Isabelle lied back, "hey, since you can't finish it, shall I get some more animals to share? I mean we wont finish it alone."

"Great, more animals…" Larry thought then said, "sure, why not? More animals mean more fun! That sounds great! Why don't you find more animals and I'll wait for you and your friends over at that window on that house." He pointed over to a bright orange house and started to walk toward it.

Isabelle started off too, she thought of looking for big, hungry animals so that the pie would be quickly finished and Larry won't get any of 'his' pie. She thought of getting a bear but that would scare everybody else. Then she thought of more cats but too much cats, Larry might get eaten by one of them. Yes some cats would be okay. Then she thought of asking some of the friendly dogs, that is if they're allowed to leave.

Later that afternoon Isabelle came back with 3 of her friends, 1 dog and 2 cats. They were hungry alright, even one of the cats almost ate Larry!

"Whoa!" Larry screamed, "I'm not for dinner! That pie is!"

"Oh, sorry," one of the cats said, "I was just very hungry as I would eat anything I see edible."

"Sure," Larry disagreed, "now lets get that delicious pie down! I'm deadly hungry, I hadn't have lunch! Isabelle, can you?"

"Sorry," apologized Isabelle, "I would but, just can't. I twisted my ankle while I was coming back from another dogs place."

"Umm, what about one of your friends?" Larry asked, "can one of them get it?"

"I can't jump that high," said the dog.

"My doctor told me not to jump at all," said a cat.

"I'm to hungry to," said the other cat.

"Fine, fine! I'll get it!" Larry groaned, "but someone has to be there to catch it!"

"Okay, I'll catch it," the big dog yelped and started to walk over under the window and was ready for anything to drop.

As Larry climbed up Isabelle told them what the newer plan was. They were whispering so quiet that nobody else heard.

Larry climbed up, "On the count of three!" Larry yelled down to them, "1! 2! 3!" He pushed the pie and as he prepared to jump as well. Someone, a human, had trapped him, "help!" he screamed as he turned around.

"Honey!" the human called to her husband, "I caught it! It's a rat!"

Larry looked back out the window, they left! With the pie! Larry started to cry. "If only I wasn't so greedy!" he said to himself, "I wouldn't have gotten in to this mess!" Larry said his last words as the human killed him. That was the last day Larry was alive and he still was greedy.

After that day, Isabelle was very sorry for what she did, but she didn't know this would happen.
