"Class, today we're going to learn about the food chain," said Mr. Owl. Franklin and his friends took out their science books.
"Some animals are herbivores," said Mr. Owl. "They eat plants. Some animals are omnivores. They eat plants and other animals. And some animals are carnivores."
"I know!" said Snail, waving his appendage around. "Carnivores just eat other animals!"
"That's right, Snail," said Mr. Owl. "Some common carnivores are wolves, coyotes and foxes."
The recess bell rang. "Don't forget, kids!" called Mr. Owl. "We are having a math quiz after recess!" The kids dashed into the yard.
All except for Fox, who was sitting thoughtfully at his desk.
"Hey," said Fox out loud. "I'm a fox." And he slowly looked out at the yard full of rabbits and turtles and beavers. "I'm a fox," he said again. And with that, he walked out into the school yard.

Lol! You are hilarious!
You are freaking me out with these stories. Have you thought of publishing them?
I wonder which tasted better? A rabbit, turtle or beaver. I'm thinking Franklin was safe this time around. That shell would take more work.
Fox has an awakening.
I love it.
That has always bothered me about those shows...
This is your scariest one yet! I love these!
AWESOME! Best ever, Beck!
Fun! I can't wait for the Max and Ruby one. Maybe they locked their parents in the cellar... :)
I'm actually scared to come to your site, lately! I was thinking that Mr. Owl was going to hold a student after class or something...
I thought that owl would realize that he too was a carnivore.
LOVING these.
This one is my favorite so far! 2 things that have always bothered me about kiddy animal shows: animals wearing clothes, and animals playing together who normally would be eating each other. LOVE your version.
Now you need a sequel...who got munched?
Awesome. I also want to read the Max and Ruby story...
I find Ruby rather annoying.
Ooo! What about Hop on Pop?
I am SO loving these
I want you to be a writer for Noggin Sr - The Dark Side.
Oh. Ew.
This is great! And just what I need at one in the morning!
RUN KIDS!!
Haha!
Seriously, I would buy a book of these.
Let me join the bandwagon, 'k, and command you to publish these!
Brrr, Beck! You're either making my spine tingle or my hiney prickle!
Fox's Awakening.

These are so creepy! and oh, Max and Ruby, yes please. I also need you to do If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.
Go, Fox, GO!
*huge laugh*
I wonder which would he choose for starter, main and dessert!!
*huge laugh*
I bet fox's not letting any of them escape...
I just read your halloween stories and they're genius. So spooky and funny at the same time! How do you come up with this stuff? You have a ghoulish mind.
ha ha ha ha ha! these are fun!
Hey Fox! You're here! We're playing tag and you're it! No wait, you TAG me, and now I'M it! Hey! Let go! Fox? FOX?!
I love these Halloween stories.
You're an amazing writer. I just caught up a bunch of posts and thoroughly enjoyed reading the Halloween stories here, as well as your posts at 5 Minutes for Parenting, and, yes, even the tweenage show reviews (I'll be good to go if we get cable TV.)
