Sahara Mystery

Today M. learned about fennec foxes. They are the smallest foxes in the world and are found in the Sahara Desert. Part of his assignment is to write a short fictional story based on facts about fennec foxes. Here is his story.

Once, at night, Digit, Code, and Cracker were walking around the Sahara Desert. They found an oasis. Neji, Hall, and Tunnels popped up out of the ground. They also got to the oasis. They heard an animal stuck in the mud. At first they tried digging under the ground but Tunnels found some rodents and got distracted and started chasing them. Instead they tried to run over the mud to grab it out but then Hall got stuck in the mud. Then Neji found something the they could use for a bridge. They stuck it out in the mud but it wasn't long enough. Digit, Code, and Cracker found some other things and stuck them together to make the bridge longer. They rescued Hall but the other animal was too big for the bridge. They tried putting sticks out and having the animal grab on while they pulled but they were not strong enough. Digit, Code, and Cracker threw Neji out with something that could float on the mud. He almost got to the animal but as soon as he got near it, he started to sink a little bit. Hall found the water for the oasis. Digit found Tunnels. They got Tunnels to dig a hole to get the water to the mud. The mud started to decrease and they all got out and saved the animal. They lived happily ever after for now.

The End.
