HOW SKUNKS GOT THERE SMELL

by Carly Burdorf

Once upon a time there was a poor skunk, and he couadont defend himself. He didn’t have fangs like tiger, and he didn’t have claws like cheuata, and he didn’t have spikes like porukipine, he didn’t have venam like scorpyin, or a stinger like bee, or thick fur like bear, and he didn’t have speed like raibit, or ckamufloth like snake. He even had a white stripe so he couadont really ckamufloth that good. So one day as skunk was walking home for super, through the forest he found some beans. He desidid to try one. It was on a low hanging branch and he couwd reach it. He grabed one with his mowth. Then steped on it so it cracked open. Then he ate a bean from the inside of the pod, and then he ate so many that it became his favrite food. Then tiger came along and liked his lips and he thought mmm this is going to be a very dilushis super. Just then the skunk had to fart because he ate too many beans. The fart smelled so terrible that the tiger growled, pea u whats that wierdoe smell, and he ran away and never came back. The gas from skunks fart stayed in his behind so he just had to rase his tail if there was an enmamae, and the stink woude come out.
