 When I was very young, my mother abandoned me and my siblings. I'll never understand why she did that. I was the only one who managed to survive. It was a cold night and I could feel myself getting very weak and tired. Luckily, a human scooped me into its arms and took me to its den. Ever since, Master and I have been the best of friends. We would spend everyday together and it made me so happy. I could tell Master was happy too by the noises he would make when we played. Sometimes if I was lucky, I would be able to hunt with him! That was the most fun! Mostly we would hunt deer but sometimes we would come across a bear or even wolves! We were never in any trouble though, because we would always protect each other. Today is one of those days that we hunt together! Normally we would stay along the tree line, but today Master decided to go deep into the forest on an old path. I can't complain, there are so many new smells out here! I trot a few paces ahead of Master, smelling ou...

A man decided to go hunt in the wilderness. He brought his favorite dog along with him. On their hike, they stumbled upon a graveyard. A ghost was standing a ways in front of them, hovering a foot above the ground. Suddenly the ghost charges the man but is stopped after the dog bites its calf. The dog and ghost fight while the man runs away. Finally, the dog defeats the ghost and chases after his master. When they both arrive back to the village, the dog attacks the man. The man had abandoned him with a ghost! For the next year, the dog would growl at the man. Finally one day the dog attacked again and it was killed. A dog by a grave - source  Story source

 Long ago there was a man who worked as a blacksmith. He had a wife and two young boys. The man dreamed that he could one day give his smithing company to his boys and they would carry on his legacy. One of the boy's name was Smither. He was goal driven and loved to help his father in the shop. Smith was the other brother. Instead of helping his father, Smith liked to relax and do whatever he wanted. When the boys were older, about 18, their parents were killed by a thief on a road to the main city. The blacksmith company was given to the boys to continue their father's legacy. Smither vowed that he would be a great blacksmith just like his father. He took his job very seriously and quickly became very well-known throughout the kingdom. Smith did not care to work and continued to fool around, relying on his brother to provide for both of them. He would also ask Smither many dumb questions just to get on his nerves. One day Smither was working in the shop while Smith was sitting...

There was once a couple with twins that lived in a cot known as Twt y Cwmrws. One day the women was called to her neighbors and had to leave her twins behind which she was not happy about. Later, on her way home, she came across a few elves which scared her. When she returned her children were okay. Soon, they realized something was wrong with the twins when they never grew. One day the woman went to a wise man to see what could be done. He told her to meet reapers and give them egg shells with potage in them. If the children speak after this then they must be thrown into the lake. The children then said "Acorn before oak I knew, an egg before a hen, but I never heard of an eggshell brew a dinner for harvest men." She then threw them into the lake and got her real children back. Imposter Children - Source Story source

A mouse decides to visit a cat while she is spinning yarn. He asks her what she is doing and she tells him she is spilling old breeches. They continue to talk about how the mouse cleaned his room, found some silver, went to the market, bought food, and ate it. The cat seemed irritated the entire time and in the end she killed and ate the mouse. Mouse and Mouser - Source Story Source

Dear Mother, Five years ago my two younger brothers and I went into training to help fight in the Great War between the Pig Kingdom and the Wolf Empire. Since then, life has been absolute hell. On a good note, I was recently promoted to Colonel and am stationed at Fort Brick. My brothers were both promoted as Lieutenants and have been sent off to Fort Straw and Fort Furze. They have worked so hard since we got here and I am so proud of them. I haven't seen the two of them for months and last I heard, they were attacked by small squadrons of wolves lead by the fearsome Lieutenant General Canis Howl. I'm sure they're both okay; I know they can handle themselves. But I'm still worried. Fort Straw and Furze are known for not being the most dependable fortresses to defend. They just weren't built for heavy attacks. The Wolf Empire has recently developed a way to harness wind power as an attack strategy which has devastated our forces throughout the front lines.  Either w...

 There was once a sow with three little pigs. She was unable to keep them so they went to seek their own lives. The first pig got some straw that he managed to make a house with. A wolf came along and asked to come in. When the pig said no, he destroyed the house and killed the pig. The second pig found a man with furze and built a house with that. He had the same fate as the first pig. The third pig made a house out of bricks that the wolf was not able to breach. The wolf tried to trick the pig multiple times to come out, telling him about turnips and apples but the pig was too smart. The wolf tried to go down the chimney but there was a pot of water. The pig boiled the wolf alive and ate him. Three pigs and their Mum - Source Story Source
