Elizabeth's Bat Story

Once upon a time there was a bat named Stellaluna. And one day she said, "Mommy, I am going to the mountains." Her mommy said, "Ok, but be careful." So she flew to the mountains. And she was so afraid. She saw a mountain lion. She said, "I wish mommy was here." A lion spied her. Stellaluna flew down to the lion's cave. And he was not happy. And Stellaluna's mommy was getting worried. So her mom flew to a jungle near the mountains. Stellaluna was hungry.She flew down too. And they met on a branch. Stellaluna was so happy and her mommy was happy too. They flew home and they lived happily ever after.

Austin's Bat Story

Some bats eat fruit and some eat frogs. They live in the forest where there are trees and weeds. And sometimes owls come out and go after the bats. But the owls did not get Stellaluna or her mom because she was too fast.

Stephanie's Bat Story

Stellaluna ate fruit. Stellaluna's mom was looking for food for them but instead an owl attacked them. Stellaluna fell in the forest. She fell on the branch. She fell again in the bird's nest. She heard birds chirping. The bird fed her bugs. Stellaluna opened her mouth. She did not like the taste. She did make a funny face. The birds got bigger and so did Stellaluna. One day Stellaluna said lets go out to fly. They flew for hours and hours. One said let's go home. Stellaluna kept flying but the birds went back home. Stellaluna dropped and hung by her thumbs. Another bat came on her branch and said you are upside down. I am not upside down. A lot of bats came and Stellaluna's mom was one of them. And Stellaluna's mom said I will not leave you.

Of course, she said and she took her home. Her mom took her home and gave her lots of hugs. And Stellaluna made a new friend.

 Once upon a time there was a mommy bat that had a baby. And the mommy bat named the baby bat Stellaluna. There was an owl. It was mean and it was greedy. So the owl attacked her in the jungle and made Stellaluna fall down, down, down to the ground! But she got on a branch. Before she fell on the ground and she couldn't hold on any more she fell into a cave. And there were bats. She said I'm lost. But the other bats didn't say anything. They just laughed at her and Stellaluna flew off. And somebody was chasing her. So she stopped to see who it was. And it was her Mommy. Her mommy said I love you Stellaluna.
