Rubble and the Treasure

 One day Rubble from PAW Patrol went to a hotel. The hotel was special to him because had left a pawprint there once.

Anyway, right after Rubble left the hotel, he spotted something shiny in the dirt. As soon as he dug it up, he realized that it was a genuine frosted glass diamond pelt--the most valuable thing in Annika's Playland. Rubble rushed to tell the hotel manager about the treasure.

"Treasure, eh?" the hotel manager replied when Rubble said that he had found treasure. "I'll bet that that 'treasure' is a dirty old penny!"

"It is not!" said Rubble, insulted.

"That's what you say," insisted the hotel manager. "It's a dirty old penny and you won't convince me otherwise!"

Feeling very hurt, Rubble tried to tell the mayor about the treasure, but the mayor just said, "I heard from the hotel manager that that 'treasure' is just a dirty old penny!"

Rubble talked to everyone he could think of, but nobody believed that he had found something truly valuable. So finally, Rubble decided to go to the president. 

Rubble thought that the president wouldn't believe him, but the president asked Rubble to show him the treasure.

"You mean you haven't heard that it's a dirty old penny?" Rubble couldn't stop himself from asking.

"I have heard that," the president replied truthfully. "But I know that you can't always believe the first thing you hear." So Rubble pulled out the genuine frosted glass diamond pelt, and it was put in a museum.

THE END

Moral: You can't always believe the first thing you hear.

Ellie's Missing Eraser

The bed was covered with a brand new bedspread - colorful and bright, with doggie faces. Across the room, the other bed had been draped in a matching bedspread and pillowcase.  Now that Ellie's and Amy's beds were so beautiful and cute, the girls promised their Dad and Mom that they would make their beds every morning before eating breakfast.  "And Milkshake will remind us to make our beds," said Ellie, "because she is going to sleep beside me."  (Milkshake was Ellie's favorite stuffed animal, a snow leopard that came from the Noah's Ark gift shop.) That night, long after Amy had fallen asleep, Ellie whispered to Milkshake, "I made some mistakes when I drew a picture of my new bedspread - and the problem is, I couldn't find an eraser anywhere . . . . Could you look for an eraser for me? Just leave it under my pillow." And Ellie finally slid into Dreamland. The next day, as Ellie rolled over, wrapped up in her colorful blanket, she remem...

The History of Tracker

One day, Caddie Woodlawn adopted a puppy. She named him Wisdom.  One day, Wisdom went for a walk with Chase and Rosie. Some people found them and put them in the shelter. Then Chase and Rosie were adopted, but Wisdom was not. Wisdom stayed in the shelter for a long time. Then one day, Chase came to the shelter. Wisdom saw him and asked Chase what he was doing there.  Chase said that he needed help. Mayor Humdinger had captured Chase's owner.  Chase let Wisdom and the other dogs out of the shelter.  Then Wisdom called to the mice for help. The mice ran around, looking for clues. Then they found something!  It was Mayor Humdinger's hat.  Chase sniffed it.  It smelled like Ryder - that was the name of Chase's owner. Chase followed the scent, and he found Ryder.

The Paw Patrol's Vacation

One day, the Paw Patrol went on vacation. They packed a loaf of bread, and pumpkin pie, and some cheese. Ella and Baby Chase didn't have cars, so they rode in the trunk of Rocky's recycling tugboat. They were going to go in the pool and be merpups.  Rocky and Baby Chase didn't want to go into the water. Tracker wanted to go into the water, but he didn't want to be a merpup. He did want to surf on the merpup's back though.  The merpup said he could surf on her back if he promised to be a merpup when he was done surfing. So Tracker became a merpup. Baby Chase and even Rocky did too. Rocky became a merpup because, if you're a merpup, then you like the water.  Then they ate pumpkin pie to celebrate.  Then Rocky went to the spa. The next day, they went swimming again - but Baby Chase nearly drowned! He got better though. Then Tracker and Ella broke their necks! They got better though. And then everybody went home from vacation, and lived happily ever after. THE END
