They Could DO It

cooperation makes difference

Frogs commenced what the vegetarian animal council had agreed upon.  They continuously made loud voices, especially late at night, until the foxes got (bored?) and enraged.  Foxes immediately started to fight the frogs.  Other vegetarian animals began to reinforce the frogs.  Foxes told the wild animals what was going on, and they lent their support to the foxes.  Now the whole forest was at war:  the vegetarian animals against the wild animals.  It is a 'do or die'  war for the vegetarian animals.  If they win they will get their freedom and respect so they could enoy the wealth they have in their own lands.  They can even regain their self-respect.So, the vegetarian animals promised to go over and beyond, not only for their owns sake but for the sake of their sons and grandsons.  The monkeys jumped on the tops of trees and threw nuts on wild animals force's heads.  Giraffes played a great role in the investigation.  Rabbits started to dig tunnels  so forces of the wild animals would fall down when they encountered them.  Frogs were making very loud voices to frighten the soldiers.  Elephants stood in line to make a fort in front of the forces.  Deer were ready to make fast attacks on the troops by fast his from front and back.  Horses were ready for the main attack, that is to lead the force of all vegetarian animals for combat with the forces of wild animals to end the war once and for all.

            The vegetarian animals had strong wills which help them become victorious and win respectability.  All were fearless in the face of death inspired by their noble aim.  Wild animals felt the change in the vegetarian animals' behavior.  When some lions tried to attack deer, the monkeys would throw pineapples on their heads until they got injured and stop their attack.

            After a week of war, wild animals discovered that they could not beat vegetarian animals.  They started to withdraw their troops and returned to their own lands.  Vegetarian animals have, for the first time, won a battle!  They were able to oust the foxes from frogs land forever.  Oh dreams have come true due to cooperation and hard work.

            Vegetarian animals began to celebrate the historical victory.  They made Mr. Horse their leader of all vegetarian animals federation, and have become a respectable nation.

excellent story khalid. it was clearly a political commentary...how war can start over the littlest things, or because of actions by a traitor, like the fox to both sides, one who has his own best interests in mind. it also has the factor of strategic warfare, organizing troops and planning out attacks...the political red tape by all bodies of government discussing things as war is going on. it has the element of oppression of the poor and the weak, the strong being able to intimidate the weaker ones and exercising terrorism. it is great work with detail, and has an objective point of view, like someone reporting world news. very sophisticated and polished writing. great job, habibi.
