Horse Guilt: A Short Story

Robin Hood was adventuring in Sherwood Forest seeking a great animal kill. It wasn't for the thrill of a hunt but rather the pride of presenting a grand beast for the guest attending his wedding banquet. Robin Hood was hoping, nay, expecting to present an elk or at least a bore to his guest. In the corner of his eye, Robin Hood noticed something strange moving in the distance. Thinking it was a bear, Robin Hood slowly and soundlessly creeps to get a better view of the creature. Robin hood was close, perhaps too close because when he got a full view of the creature and whispered excitement under his breath, the creature spun around to look Robin hood straight in the eyes.

After raiding the Snakes with High Back Bone his father bestowed a great honor to him, the name of his father, and his father before him, Crazy Horse. As his feats on the battlefield grew, so did his reputation and respect among the Lakota people. As Crazy Horse was raiding the Crows for nearly a month, the love of his heart was taken away from him by another. With his heart broken, it took a long time until he had gotten over it.

At night, the wild boars prowled the streets. The chain secured to their collars jolted at their every movement. Their bristled necks fight their restraints, trying to escape their captivity. Muzzles covered most of their face, placing fear into the society in which they lurked. Their masters walked bristly beside them, dragged along by these bad-tempered and aggressive predators. These enraged animals displaying their primitive nature, alert to any perceived invasion of their territory.

Finally, the day came for the two have meet for the big battle. Where dark and Light, good and evil, mixed together creating a balance, but the war just begin. As the clinging and crushing of the animals claws fighting one another, the bear and tiger met. The Brave and the Bold tiger Strike, surprisingly the tiger lips the bear in The head destroying him. That wasn’t the end of the tiger though comma he went for towards Frederick at a fast pace ready to take down. Fredrick stood ready as the tiger leaped at him. He took his blade, and decapitated the tiger, and after he threw it into the sky which created the

Marcel was on his way to the banquet when he saw something that caught his eye. He was trained to look for these things, and as he walked over he saw it was a horse. The horse was brown, shaggy, and peculiarly small. It looked like it she hadn’t eaten for days..

and aimed carefully as another blasting carawong! came from the muzzle, and the crawling, heavy, yellow bulk of the lion stiffened and the huge,

So I went down to the barn and saddled that horse right up. I should have known not to just jump on this big horse. He was acting very agitated throwing his head. Stomping his feet all over the place. I ignored all signs of turmoil and jumped on. When I got on I expected everything. But, nothing happened he just stood there like a perfectly tame horse. So I let my guard down loosened up my

“You proved today that you are more than capable of handling a werewolf.” Underhill advised and ushered her out of the room. “Jenna will sleep through the night and most of tomorrow. Yet Clement will be hard to convince I am out. Keep him occupied.” He shut the door.

I was nearly blinded when I first looked into the eyes of this beast. Strangely, the wolf almost seemed to glow with a brilliant light when I saw him. His bright blue eyes and radiant, white fur seemed whiter than the snow itself. A large rabbit lay clenched firmly between the wolf’s sturdy maws. It started to growl again as I stood there, fear-stricken. I wasn’t quite sure what to do at this particular moment other than to stand still, and hope the wolf would lose interest.

As he took the animal back home saw a flash of light in the forest. Being wary of danger, he was instantaneously alert. As he stepped carefully toward the source of the disturbance. As he got closer he heard deep voices speaking in a strange language

As he turned to run the bear laughed.”After all your boasting your going to run?I thought that you were the strongest animal in the forest!”.The bear knew eventually he could catch up with him so he started to run.The deer knew the forest well, but also knew the sad inevitable truth that the bear would outrun him, but he tried to calm himself down so he could think.

The horse sprang up running and was running and the lion roared scaring every creature in the forest.when the horse got to the master's door he tripped and the lion got loose and ate the horse and the master in the own home.And soon the lion hunted the fox down to get revenge And found him a couple of meters from the house and ate him because the fox set him up.But the lion wasn't done he ate every animal in the masters home and went home peacefully.

Soon the lynx was free again, and I wondered why he had let it run away. They were on opposite sides of the arena. Now the snow leopard took his sword, no, my sword, and charged.

Still, when the hunter goes to jail because of the man he helped from the pit, the mouse and the snake aid him through getting out. As the hunter is suffering in the king’s prison, the mouse appears and says, “Keep up your courage. I will go now to find help.” Moments later, the snake enters and to repay the hunter for assisting them in the past, says, “I am glad [...] to show my gratitude. [...] I will sting [the king] on the heel. The cream in that little box alone can save his life.” The snake’s plan will allow the hunter to save the king’s life, giving him the opportunity to release the hunter. Even after experiencing all stated, one might argue that unexpected good fortune won’t come to those who help someone in need because of the man’s harsh actions. While the man truly did not show good fortune to the hunter, the lion warned him of the man’s dishonor, because not all people show the characteristic of repayment that the animals have. To conclude, one’s act of aid to a stranger in need may often be repaid with good fortune, as demonstrated in “From the Elephant Pit”, where several animals return a hunter’s

The Lion and the Ox is a one of the oldest and most popular pieces of classic Arabic literature. Originally from India, this animal fable is famous for its inclusion of many other animal fables, each of which help provide the characters of the story with advice regarding their situation. Unlike The Arabian Nights, which also uses a frame tale that contains each tale, multiple animals share their wisdom with one another. The wisdom of the story’s two main characters, Kalila and Dimna, help foreshadow and motivate the events of the frame tale and bring it to a reasonable yet tragic conclusion.
