A football player showing his next move
"What is there to do at night around here" said the Freshman.
"There are lots of interesting scenes around here, if you want to meet lot of higher end people you need to go to an all exclusive party" said one of the football player.
"We will invite you to this all exclusive party full of athletes, you might be able to meet your dream start there too" said the other football player.
"There is one restriction, you have to keep this low and not tell anyone" said the first football player.
"I promise, I will keep it low, thank you for the invite" said the freshman.
"When you come to the tower, just call us to get you inside the party and make sure you do not tell anyone about it" said the football players.
It was the first week of college, and the freshman was excited to get an all exclusive invite to an awesome party. He could not wait to get to the party. Slowly it was getting to him from keeping down his excitement. By the end of the day he had told his whole floor mates about the party and many more. The news was spread to so many people that there were around thousands of people trying to go to the party.
The freshman showed up to the party and just few inches behind him there were many others.
"We told you to keep this all exclusive party low" said one of the football player
"You are not allowed to get in anymore" said the other freshman
So at the end all the freshman's started going home, but that one freshman, who told everyone about the party. The freshman went to the party again and met up with the football players to say sorry. The football players were so angry that they just beat him up and the freshman returned to his dorm with a black eye.
Author's Note:
This story was based of The Turtle and The Geese, which was about the turtle being able to fly. The story started with the geese inviting the turtle to the dinner and the turtle asked them how he was going to get there since he can not fly. The geese told him, we will make it possible but all you have to do is keep your mouth shut. The turtle agreed, however he opened his mouth when others were making fun of him so he fell to the ground and died. I wanted to recreated the story but in a different perspective so I made it more college related.

I loved your spin on this tale! I would have never thought to create a story like this in a million years. It does a really great job of still portraying the them that your tongue can lead to more troubles if you don't know how to control it! It was easy to read, and kept me interested throughout the story. Great job Urvi!
ReplyDeleteHi Urvi!
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique approach! I've gotta say, I couldn't tell what story this was at first, but once I read the author's note, it made perfect sense! Just like the turtle, the freshman could keep his mouth shut. I like how you kept the core message and a few key plot points, then made the rest of the story completely your own. Very nice!
Hello Urvi,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your version on the Turtle and the Geese. I wasn't sure where the story was going at first but it made sense once the Freshman ran his mouth! You didi a great job because I was able to tell what story you based it off of before I got to the Authors note. I can't wait to hear more creative stories from you.
Wow. When I was reading the beginning of this story, I can’t even tell that this story is relating to The Turtle and The Geese. This is the most unique story I’ve read about The Turtle and The Geese. I like the way you changed the setting to where everyone is familiar with. I also like how you kept the main theme the same but with different characters and setting.
