The two authors of the first place entry wrote this story to highlight the pillar of the month, fairness The Snake and the Seahorse There was an eagle, a snake, and a sea horse. “Bet you can’t beat me to that tree,” said the sly slithering snake. “Bet you I can.” said the swimming seahorse. The eagle observed from above, watching the contestants. “Ok, if I win, you shall bring me the shiniest sea shell from one of the seven seas,” sneered the snake. “Fine, if I win you will get me an amazing coconut from the tallest tree,” sang the seahorse. “Okay” the sly snake said, “let's start right here. 3 2 1 Go!” said the snake speedily. The seahorse swam like lightning toward the water part near the tree. “I win!” she shouted. When the snake reached the tree, he was very upset, but soon a sly smile crept onto his face. “I said to that tree,” he said jabbing his tail in the direction of the big palm tree. “But, but that’s on land.” said, the swimming seahorse. “Yes, but that’s what you agreed to.” said the snake, the smile on his face getting bigger. “Now, to business. I would like a blue sea shell, a bright blue one.” Suddenly an eagle flew down and hovered between the snake and the seahorse. “Hey, you guys! Stop arguing. You are not being fair. Fairness is very powerful, so be a superhero of fairness. Fairness means the world. So, Mr. Snake, is that fair that the tree is on land, but the seahorse can’t get to it?” “U-u-uh,” the snake stuttered. “No, I don’t think so,” the eagle replied. “So, let’s restart the race and make it fair this time.” The seahorse swam to the start and the snake slithered slowly. 3. 2. 1. GO! The seahorse swam towards the tree spot in the ocean. “I won!” said the smiling seahorse. “Oh, okay. I guess you win,” he said. He grabbed a fresh coconut from the tallest tree and tossed it to the seahorse. “Thank you ever so much,” said the smiling seahorse. “Let’s race again sometime, and I promise to be fair,” hissed the snake. The eagle flew in the sky. “And that’s why you should be fair.” said the eagle from above. “Though, I’ll probably be back soon.” he said to himself. The eagle flew right toward Chaminade Middle School, landed and walked into the front office. “I need to speak with Mr. Valentine immediately!” exclaimed the eagle. He flew into Mr. Valentine’s office and said, “Mr. Valentine! I have a fairness story for you!” “Oh,” Mr. Valentine said, “I’d love to hear it, what’s it called?” The eagle called out, “It is called The Snake and the Seahorse. There was an eagle, a snake, and a sea horse...” By:Chloe M. and Amanda B. Second and third place went to poets who wrote about those things that make Chaminade such a special school.
