This is not a fairytale that I made up. It is about Baba Yaga. Enjoy!
There was once a beautiful girl that was named Vasilisa. She was sent to go to a ball for the prince. Sadly, the ignorant prince thought she was ugly.
Brokenhearted, Vasilisa ran away from home and foolishly searched for Baba Yaga to make her as beautiful as the sunset.
In case you do not know, Baba Yaga was an evil witch who made riddles in which the wrong answer could lead to death.
Vasilisa searched for Baba Yaga, awaiting a dangerous adventure.
There was a river she had to cross. Walking towards it, she found that a branch blocked her path. When Vasilisa found that the branch was broken, she fixed the branch and bound it in bandages. "Because you have been kind to me, I will not only let you pass, but give you a word of advice. You were sent to do something every time you go somewhere, because you were meant to go there, not by your will," said the branch.
When she got to the river, there was a fish on the ground. Vasilisa put the fish back into the water. "Because you have been kind to me, I shall not only carry you across the river, but give you a word of advice. Make new trails; do not follow one trail that someone has already created," said the fish. Vasilisa heeded the fish's advice, and was carried across the river.
Now she saw an owl with a splinter in her wing. Vasilisa took it out. "Because you have been kind to me, I shall not only carry you across these trees to Baba Yaga's hut so that you won't get lost, but give you a word of advice. You step in a new river everyday." The owl carried Vasilisa across the trees in the forest.
Vasilisa arrived at Baba Yaga's hut. "I know what you want," said Baba Yaga. She took out a ring from her pocket and said, "When you put on this ring, you will become as beautiful as the sunset." Vasilisa took the ring, and, without hesitation, leaped towards the gate, but it closed by magic. Baba Yaga cackled an evil laugh. "Before you leave, I must ask you three questions. If you answer incorrectly, I shall kill you! Were you sent here?" Vasilisa remembered. "Yes." "Are you supposed to make new trails everyday?" Vasilisa remembered. "Yes." Baba Yaga was slowly starting to fume. "Do you step in a new river everyday?" Vasilisa remembered. "Yes." "NO! NO! NO!" Baba Yaga shouted angrily. The gates opened, and Vasilisa ran, followed by Baba Yaga.
"I will not let you find your way, because Vasilisa has been kind to me, and you stuck that splinter into my wing," said the owl. But Baba Yaga did find her way.
"I will not help you cross, because Vasilisa has been kind to me, and you threw me onto the ground to where I could not breathe," said the fish. But Baba Yaga jumped over the river by using her magic.
"I will not let you pass, because Vasilisa has been kind to me, and you have broken my branch," said the tree, and all the other trees agreed. When Baba Yaga tried to jump over the trees by using her magic, she found that she could not because the trees were too high a distance for a witch to jump over. When she tried to squeeze through the trees, she found that she was too fat. And when she tried to dig her way under the trees, she found that their roots reached to the core of the earth. Baba Yaga was imprisoned behind the trees.
Vasilisa had put on her ring, and when Vasilisa saw that it didn't work, the prince, feeling sorry for her, realized that it was the inside of a person that matters, and married her anyway. THE END
Listen, I pretty much changed the entire story, but I hope you like it anyway. Make a new trail everyday; don't be a follower, be a leader. And you step in a new river everyday, because you learn something everyday.

The Time Travel Adventure: Part 2
<< Continued from "The Time Travel Adventure: Part 1"
"This is my husband, Elliot," said Kathleen. Wait. Elliot wasn't the first name of J.K. Rowling's grandfather. He was a spy desperate to make sure J.K. Rowling wasn't born! "Really?" "Well no, we're just dating." Whew! "What job does he have?" "He cooks in a restaurant." "Then how come this Spy Badge is in his pocket?" John took out the badge from his pocket.
Kathleen stopped dating Elliot and dated & married someone else. J.K. Rowling was born and they all lived happily ever after.

The Time Travel Adventure: Part 1
Listen, I'm fascinated with Time Travel. So I decided to create a time travel adventure. Enjoy!
John Kipling was a time traveler. He was sent back in time on a mission assigned to him by the government. In the adventure, John had to stop some spies trying to change the world-for the worse-through changing time.
What? Where am I? Am I dead? thought John. No. I can't be. I just got sent to go on a mission for the government. Of course I'm not dead.
Someone opened the door. It was a man. "Hey!" he said. "Hey!"
Suddenly a woman came out of the door. "I don't trust him!" cried out the man. John smiled weekly. "Calm down man!" cried out somebody. It was a woman who had just walked out of the door. "Now, hello young man. Would you like to stay for the night?" "Yes, please," said John, aware of his mission. "What's your name?" "Kathleen." Kathleen was supposed to be J.K. Rowling's grandmother!

The Amulet
This is a futuristic story-similar to a book I'm writing right now. This story is known as The Amulet.
Once upon a time, the builders of an underwater paradise decided to create an Amulet that contained electrical abilities.
A thousand years later, a boy named Adrian found the Amulet. He wore it everywhere. But the Amulet was also a link to a secret society. And so the society followed him.
However, the boy dropped the Amulet. There the sun gave more abilities to the Amulet. It was solar-powered!
Pretty soon, the Amulet downloaded every bit of computer images and information. Nowadays, EVERYONE is looking for the Amulet.
No one knows what happened to the Amulet. Some say a society member betrayed the society and took the Amulet only to find out that it was fake. Others say the Amulet was destroyed.
Well, that is it. Hope you like this story!

The Scepter of Ool
Once upon a time, there was a magician. A wizard, actually. But he was called a magician anyways. This man had powers beyond anything you could imagine. The thing that gave him these powers was a scepter. If this scepter was destroyed, then the place where the magician came from would disappear.
One day the scepter was lost. A prophecy stated that 500 years later, someone would find the scepter and be the true ruler of the place where the magician came from. And that place was Ool.
500 years later, a spunky boy named Jack found the scepter. Suddenly he was transported to a totally different world. It was filled with talking teacups, hat transportation, everything you could imagine. "You're him! You've found the scepter!" people would say. Soon, an evil man named Ogol stole the scepter.
Jack and Ogol fought for the scepter. Until Ogol dropped the scepter. It shattered into a thousand pieces. Then a fairy emerged from the shattered bits of the scepter. "But why isn't this world destroyed?" asked Jack. "They were wrong. I was trapped in this scepter until now. I am free!" The fairy destroyed Ogol.
Jack went back to his own world. The fairy became the Queen of Ool. And they all lived happily ever after.
I love this story. I made it up myself. It is really awesome...in my opinion. Comments below.

Aspergers
I have a story to tell you. It is about a little boy who has a mental disorder known as Aspergers Syndrome.
One day God opened a window and sent a boy a gift. It was the gift of writing. This boy had done very strange things in his life.
One day after asking about suicide, his parents sent him to a psychologist. Her name was Dana Griffin. She said he had Aspergers Syndrome.
The boy thought that Aspergers was a disease at first. But then he realized that Aspergers was actually sort of a blessing.
His life went on. He remained different. He was thinking about how Aspergers was just one of Nature's tricks.
I was that boy. At first Aspergers may seem like a disease when it really isn't. Remember...Aspergers is just one of Nature's dirty tricks.
I know that this isn't a fable or a story. But in a way it is. And I am going to create a web show called Aspergian, to show no Aspies aren't alone. Kids may laugh at you, but if you have Aspergers, then this time the joke is on them. Ha!

The Flower of Optimism
Listen, I know I've been writing poems every day. So now I will begin a fairytale I made up myself.
Based on the story of a four-leafed clover told usually on March 17
Every day in the world there was sadness. There was no rain, family members would die every second, there was a great famine every week-everything you could imagine.
One of the people to suffer was a girl named Becky. She tried her best to be optimistic. Meanwhile, underground the elf squad were searching for some optimism in the sad situation in the world.
God walked in to the elf squad's Room for Optimism Detection. "Is there any optimism that you detect?" "No," said an elf. "Wait...I think we've got a signal...from some girl named Becky." Suddenly this optimism activated a window from heaven to open. A spiritual flower grew from the ground as quickly as Jesus had flown off this earth.
Suddenly...it rained. Crops grew, and children and adults lived to a longer age. And if we stop being optimistic about sad situations that flower will die and the window from heaven will close.
I think this story gives a very important lesson. It teaches to be optimistic. Remember...today is a new day.
