Why are cheetah's the fastest land animal?

4th Grade Pourquoi Tales 2022

Sorry, Alfa, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings when I kicked you out of the pack. I was just really upset about you not respecting your pack and using your skills for fun. I wanted you to be disciplined and try to understand how you could be a better citizen of the pack,” Lia said. "It is ok, I apologize for acting so reckless, and promise to not repeat it again,” Alfa said. &nbsp;"Anyways can I get a leg piece, maybe?" "Sure, you can have an entire one," &nbsp;That night everyone had a feast and they invited Alfa back into the pack. From that day onwards she started hunting and providing food for the majority of the pack because she was so fast that her prey would be taken by surprise. Alfa's pack pushed her to participate in races across various jungles and regions and you can only guess who won all the awards.&nbsp; And that's why cheetahs are said to be the fastest land animals.&nbsp;

Then it was all quiet for a minute. Alfa's face turned red and she felt embarrassed for asking such a question to Tie. It was only then that Tie realized that Alpha was seriously asking him for help and he said, “Oh wait, your being serious?”&nbsp; To which Alpha replied sheepishly,“Yeah, I kinda am….” Alfa said. “Oh,sorry! I didn't mean to make fun of you. Can you please forgive me and let's start from the beginning?” Tie asked. “Yes, I do forgive you, you are one of my closest friends and you can be honest with me,” Alfa said. “Ok, thank you. Well I guess I could help you to become an athlete or at least try to." “ That sounds great!” How do we get started?” Alfa said.

A few months later…..&nbsp; “Tie! Are you ready to go on our 5:00 am run?” Alfa said. “ Yeah, I am almost ready,” Tie said. In the past few months Alfa has started to become really serious about exercising. She had also improved her strides. She has also played a lot of different sports games. The best thing she loved was that she was able to hang out with her friends. But today she was planning to play a prank on&nbsp;her friend Wolf. She hadn't seen him in a while so she figured this would be the best time also because he wouldn't be expecting her. She was planning on pretending to attack him. “I am so excited to go prank Wolf,” Alfa said. “Are you sure you want to go through with this prank?” Tie said. “Yes, I am positive,”

A few weeks later….&nbsp; “ROAR!” Alfa said. “Alfa get off of me!” Tie said. “ I know you are pranking me.”&nbsp; Alfa had started to become really popular for her pranks. She was starting to become really proud of it. “I have a great idea! What if I try to prank Lia ( the leader of the pack, a lioness)” Alfa said. “ Alfa, I'm not sure if that's such a great idea.”&nbsp; “Oh, trust me it will be fine, she is a sport.” Alfa said. “ I am going to prank her while she is sleeping, she would be very scared . I should probably get back to the pack now” Alfa said. &nbsp;“Good night everybody.” Lia said. As Lia fell asleep&nbsp;Alfa slowly crept up on Lia. "ROAR!" Alfa screamed. "AHH! get off of me Alfa!" Lia said. "I am kicking you out of the pack, You have become a nuisance, just because you are a fast runner you cannot chase and pretend to attack your own pack. Instead of using your new found ability to help us you are using it for your entertainment and causing a ruckus. The other day Mia had a panic attack and is still scared of sleeping on her own. There are others who have bruises and are still recovering from your pranks. We are supposed to protect our pack, not attack them for fun. We are boycotting you and you are on your own. Don't come back here again, I don't want anyone in the pack to be hurt by your pranks", Lia screamed. "Please forgive me Lia. I am really sorry for attacking you, it was only a joke." Alfa said. "Leave me and my pack alone."

There is way too much text on this page and it will be hard to read. Maybe consider taking out some of the "pranking" to make the story a little shorter. Then you will have room to enlarge the font size.

KNOCK KNOCK!&nbsp;As Alfa knocked on the door she thought if she should ask Tie if she had it in her to become an athlete. “Hi Alfa! How are you?” Tie asked. “I am fine. Alfa answered. “I just have a quick question for you. Do you think you could help me become an athlete?” Alfa answered. “Wait, what did you say?” Tie said. “I said, I need your help to become an athlete and compete in races,” Alfa said a little bit louder. “Hahaha. You are the funniest person I have ever met,” Tie said, rolling on the floor.

“I am fine," Alfa answered. “I just have a quick question for you."

Be careful with punctuation when characters are speaking. See example above.

There is too much text to fit on this page. It would need to be split into two pages because you need some space between paragraphs. I took half of the text and put it on the next page.

There is some clicking or tapping while you are recording. You should record this again.

“ First we need to get you in shape and build up your stamina by starting to jog regularly,” Tie said. “You will have to do multiple training sessions everyday to make your muscles strong. It will also build your stamina for longer and quicker runs.” “Ok let's get started!” Alfa said.

“It's getting late, so I better go back home. I can't wait to tell my pack that I am training to become an athlete!”&nbsp; “Ok bye! See you tomorrow,” Tie said. “Byye!” Alfa said. As&nbsp; Alfa began to walk home she thought about how she was finally going to be like all her other friends. Best of all she would get to hang out with them while they went on their fun jogs and runs.&nbsp; “ Hello everybody! I am going to become an athlete!” Alfa announced to her pack. “Wait, you are going to become an athlete? I must be dreaming. Somebody pinch me,” Lia said. “No, nobody pinch her. I am being serious. Tie is going to be my trainer,” Alfa said.

As Alfa began to walk to the jungle to tell Tie the news she started to sob and sob until she thought she was going to drown in her own tears. When she told Tie the bad news he yelled at her and told her that he had said not to do it and she still did. She was hoping that someone would understand her that she did not mean any harm but was just having some fun but instead everyone just yelled in her face and told her to leave them alone. Finally since no one wanted to be with her,&nbsp;she decided to move away and to start or join another pack. She tried hunting,fighting and exercising on her own. One day she set out to go hunt. She was preparing a big feast because she wanted to have Tie over to try to apologize. She hunted some of his favorite animals, like deer. It was very surprising to Alfa that deer were really easy to catch. She had caught many while others with her could not even catch one! As she walked past everybody they began to stare at all the deer she had caught. They kept on asking if they could have a piece Alfa allowed everyone to take some to feed their families. Soon, everyone realized that Alfa had realized her mistake and had started utilizing her skills to provide food for everyone, so they forgave her.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Every step she took made her more and more nervous. When she got there her heart was pounding so fast that she thought that she was about to have a heart attack!&nbsp; KNOCK,KNOCK! “Give me one second,” Wolf said. As the door squeaked open Alfa pounced on Wolf. “ROAR!” Alfa screamed. “Alfa I know it's you,” Wolf said. “O’come on!” Alfa said. After Wolf and Alfa chatted. Alfa decided to go and try to prank someone else. She was going to prank her friend Elie (an elephant). She really enjoyed the look on Elie's face when she was being pranked and that gave her more courage to prank others. So she decided that she was going to prank some of her other friends by running super fast and pretending to chase and then attack them.

5 minutes later…….&nbsp; “I am getting tired,”Alfa said. “C’mon, you got to keep up for a little longer and we will keep doing this for a little longer everyday. If you don't then you will not be able to compete and lose confidence in your ability to become an athlete,” Tie said. “ Ok fine, but I'm only going for 10 more minutes,” Alfa said.

One day Alfa (a cheetah) was walking home from the jungle.&nbsp; “ Since I am anyways near Tie's (a tiger)house I could probably stop by to say hi,” Alfa said.
