From Aesop’s Fables
The Fox and the Woodcutter
5. A FOX, running before the hounds, came across a Woodcutter felling an oak and begged him to show him a safe hiding-place. The Woodcutter advised him to take shelter in his own hut, so the Fox crept in and hid himself in a corner. The huntsman soon came up with his hounds and inquired of the Woodcutter if he had seen the Fox. He declared that he had not seen him, and yet pointed, all the time he was speaking, to the hut where the Fox lay hidden. The huntsman took no notice of the signs, but believing his word, hastened forward in the chase. As soon as they were well away, the Fox departed without taking any notice of the Woodcutter: whereon he called to him and reproached him, saying, "You ungrateful fellow, you owe your life to me, and yet you leave me without a word of thanks." The Fox replied, "Indeed, I should have thanked you fervently if your deeds had been as good as your words, and if your hands had not been traitors to your speech."

The Tree House
The brothers mowed lawns throughout their neighborhood to earn money to help pay for supplies. Carter and Anton had convinced their father to help them build a tree house last year, but snow covered the ground before they were able to get started.
Through much anticipation, Carter and Anton had waited and prepared, and they were ecstatic that it was finally time to dive into their project. First, they had to go to the lumber yard with their father and purchase the wood. They spent an entire weekend measuring, cutting, and assembling the wood to create the floor, walls, and roof; it was very exciting to see the lumber transform into a small house.

Every evening, Carter, Anton, and their father would spend several hours nailing pieces of wood together until the tree house was finally complete. Then they went to the paint store, where Carter and Anton took nearly two hours to agree on the color lime green. Painting their tree house sounded more fun that it was; the sanding, priming, and rolling paint on each section of the house was both challenging and time consuming.

After more than a month of hard work and dedication, the tree house was finally complete.

A.

Carter and Anton were very happy with how their tree house turned out.

The two brothers were excited to shop for supplies for their treehouse with their father.

C.

Read the excerpts from the two articles on sea otters.

Article A

Sea otters live in the chilly Northern Pacific Ocean and spend almost all their lives in the water. They sleep, hunt, groom, mate, and give birth in the ocean, where they float on their backs on the water's surface. Adult sea otters spend more than a third of their day grooming their fur. This isn't for vanity; it's for survival. Unlike most sea mammals, sea otters do not have an inner layer of fat to protect them from the cold water. These creatures rely on their dense fur to protect them from the low temperatures. Sea otters have one of the thickest furs in all of the animal kingdom. An adult sea otter's coat can contain up to 1 billion individual hairs! These hairs form a protective, waterproof layer, which traps air and provides insulation. It is crucial that a sea otter's fur is kept clean to maintain this insulating layer between the water and their skin.

Article B

Oil spills from off-shore drilling and shipping are also an immense threat to sea otters. Sea otters are dependent on their thick fur to keep them warm. Its unique structure traps air that insulates their bodies from the cold water. When an otter's fur is covered in oil, it can no longer keep the otter warm. This can cause hypothermia and even death. If the otter tries to clean its fur, it will ingest the oil, which is poisonous. In 1989, the Exxon Valdez hit a reef in Alaska. The ship spilled over ten million gallons of oil into the ocean. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service believes that anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 otters died due to this oil spill.

How are the authors' points of view different in these excerpts?

Article A focuses on the importance of the sea otter grooming its fur, but Article B shows that the sea otter's grooming habits endanger it when the water is not clean.
Article A explains that adult sea otters spend more than a third of their day grooming, but in Article B, the author explains that adults spend most of their day caring for their young.
Article A highlights the different reasons the sea otter's fur must be clean, and Article B highlights the actual process sea otters use to keep their thick coats clean and healthy.
Article A focuses on how the sea otter's fur can harm the animal, while Article B focuses on how the sea otter's fur can protect it from oil spills and other water pollution.

Narrator

Scene 1

Princess is swimming in the ocean, singing.

Narrator: Once, long ago, there lived a beautiful princess on the island of Hawai'i. She loved the ocean, and every morning, she swam in the warm water. While she swam, she sang songs about her love for the deep, blue water and her gratitude for the gentle waves.

Princess: Oh, how I love the ocean. I never want to live anywhere else. If I could not see the beauty of the blue water or hear the sound of the waves, my heart would break.

Princess sees a huge shark fin approaching. Frightened, she swims for shore.

Narrator: One day, the king of the sharks heard the princess's song. Enchanted by her voice and her love for the ocean, he decided that he must meet her. Seeing how frightened she was of his true form, the shark king transformed himself into a human, with a magical cloak of scales in all the colors of the sea.

Princess watches in amazement as a prince in a cloak of many-colored scales steps out of the water and offers her his hand.

Shark King: Dearest Princess, I am so pleased to finally meet you. I have heard your songs many times, and I, too, love the ocean. It is my home.

Princess: Please, come with me to meet my family. They will be amazed to see you.

Exit princess and shark king.

Scene 2

Princess sits by a deep pool on the beach. A large home built into a cliff face is behind her. She holds a baby on her lap. In the pool, a large shark circles.

Narrator: After some time, the shark king and the princess were married. They lived together happily, and they had a son. Sadly, the enchantment that made the shark king human could not last forever.

Shark king emerges from the pool in human form. He removes his cloak and lays it at the princess's feet.

Shark King: My dearest one, I must return home to the ocean now. I will leave this magical cloak for our son. Whenever he wears it, he will be safe from all harm. One day, he will come to find me in his true home, under the waves.

Shark king jumps back into the pool and disappears down into its depths. The princess wraps the baby in the cloak.

Scene 3

Young man with a birthmark in the shape of shark teeth on his back is hiding behind some trees, listening to fishermen talk.

Narrator: The shark prince grew up. He became a strong young man who looked just like the other young men of the village, except for the strange birthmark on his back.

Fisherman 1: I hear there is good fishing out at the cove. I will head there tomorrow morning at first light.

Fisherman 2: I will join you! Be sure you don't mention where you are going to anyone else. It will mean more fish for us!

Fisherman 1: I won't tell a soul. You must have said something last time. There were hardly any fish left.

Narrator: The prince often listened to where the village fishermen planned to go, and he would always get there first to eat his fill of the delicious fish. With his father's cloak around his shoulders, the prince could transform into a shark whenever he chose. The fishermen were becoming suspicious.

Exit fishermen. Prince creeps down to the water's edge and wraps the cloak around his shoulders before jumping into the sea. A shark fin can be seen heading out into the water. Enter fishermen.

Fisherman 1: I knew it! That trickster boy has been stealing our fish.

Fisherman 2: It's not right, using magic to rob honest people of food and a living.

Fisherman 1: He must go.

Scene 4

Fishermen and other villagers are crowded around the pool outside the princess's house. The princess and her son stand in front of them.

Princess: It is time for my son to join his father in the ocean.

Prince: I'm very sorry for all the trouble I've caused.

Villagers: Back to the ocean with you!

Prince: I promise to never take more than my share of the fish again.

Prince hugs his mother goodbye and wraps the cloak around his shoulders. He jumps into the pool and swims down so deep that no one can see him. Far off, out in the ocean, a huge shark fin can be seen bobbing above the water. Soon, a smaller fin joins it.

Narrator: The shark prince joined his father in the ocean, and to this day, the sharks never take more than their share of the fish.
