True Nature

April 2010

The Nature Fakers (page 27 in this month's magazine) entertained their readers with gripping tales about animals. The only trouble was, their stories weren't always true. Can you do better? Observe the wildlife here you live--it might be goats on your farm, ants in your kitchen, or dolphins in a zoo. Then write an interesting story about what you've seen. No faking! And no more than 300 words, please.
