Larry's Adventure

It was a hot sunny day outside of Larry's cave in the Savannah just outside of West Africa. And the sun was so big and yellow, it seemed almost deadly. There lived a kind, warm hearted lion named Larry. Every day he would scan the perimeter of the Savannah like a hawk searching for any animals in need of help.

He decided to give it another try, this time on a zebra. As he walked up to the zebra, she ran away, shouting, “Get away from me with your sharp teeth and dagger claws!” Not even getting a chance to say hi, salty tears flowed down his face, and he felt something he never had before, it was sorrow.&nbsp;

The animals wanted to thank Larry, so the threw him a massive party. From across the field came the sound of singing hyenas, and a roaring crowd of other animals. At the end of the party, Gladys the Giraffe announced, “Me and the and the other animals just wanted to say that we are truly sorry for never giving you a chance, and discriminating you for your looks. We hope you can forgive us, and hope we can all be friends.”&nbsp; “I accept your apologies, I can’t wait to start over and be friends and not enemies.

After Larry got his friend request rejected, he set out to do kind tasks every day to prove that he is truly a kind animal. The next day when Larry was at school, he did a thousand different tasks to show that he would never purposely hurt anyone. On his way to the edge of the Savannah, he saw a small speck in the distance. Peppermint spice flowed with the wind until it reached Larry’s nose.

Larry sprinted back to town the town as if he where a cheetah and warned all of the animals about the ferocious hunter, but nobody believed him. Suddenly Larry remembered back to when the hunter had come before. It was the worst day of his life. There was so much destruction and sadness, and Larry would not let that happen again.

As Larry attends his first day of school, he asks the giraffe, “Good, morning, would you like to be friends?” Scared, the tree tall animal galloped away. Larry was shocked, he didn’t know what he did wrong.

Even though Larry would never hurt a soul, he still had trouble making friends The reason for this was because his teeth were as sharp as knives, and Gladys the giraffe would spread millions of false rumors of times he acted mean and scared other animals for sport.

Snapping back to reality, Larry planned out his next move so precisely that the hunter would never see it coming. As soon as Dan turned around Larry lurked behind him waiting for the perfect moment to release a powerful roar that would shake the whole earth. “ROAR!” Larry was glad to see the hunter’s petrified expression. Larry chased the hunter so far it seemed as if he would reach the end of the world!

Finally with the hunter gone, the animals where no longer at risk. They all praised Larry like he was their king and thought as him as there hero. Soon he had many friends and had a smile across his face that was as big as a blue whale.
