nce in a far away land called Frenzy, there lived a panda who had a enormouus apettite. The little panda's name was Shih Sho. He ate all the bamboo in his section of the bamboo forests of Frenzy. He was never satisified with the amount got each day, so he started eating french fries, eggs, and other kinds of foods that pandas don't usually eat. But of course he was not normal at all, well at least his appetite wasn't.
It took quite some time for him to get used to these junk foods, as his parents called them, but he soon his stomach became adjusted to eating these special foods. But he never grew much even of his humongous appetite. Shih Sho's parents got very worried about his "unusual" choice of foods.
His mother, Cho Chang said,"Lo, what should we do with our son, he's always eating foods that are so different from bamboo?"
"Maybe we should find a place where bamboo is sufficent so he will never need to eat that horrible kind of food, what do you think about that Cho?"asked Shih Sho's father, Lo Fang.
Both parents agreed that it was a great idea and decided to look for a place with plentiful bamboo for the sake of their son, so they hired a panda to tend to their newly bought ship.
After many days of sailing, the hired hand, Ayou Wu spotted a island full of bamboo. The island was very large and there was a abundant amount of green juicy bamboo. So, they landed there on the island, stayed there for the night, and Shih Sho's parents wanted to go to get Shih Sho on the next day. They thought they had finally found the perfect place.But during the night it started raining, hard. The island started flooding. Ayou Wu hurried Lo Fang and Cho Chang back onto the ship.
Again they searched for a place that would suit Shih Sho's enormous appetite. For days they searched. When they finally gave up and was heading back home, this time Cho Chang saw a island that looked just like the one that was flooded except it was on higher ground. Cho Chang told Ayou Wu to anchor the ship beside the beautiful green island. It was full of bamboo and as they got closer they could see that it was larger than the other island they had saw before! As they gingerly ate the bamboo, it was not only juicy, but crunchy.
They left immediately to get Shih Sho. When they got back he was waiting at the bank looking dreamily at the sunset.
"Shih Sho! We've found the perfect place for you!" yelled Shih Sho's mother.
And there Shih Sho never went hungry ever again.
The End
