"A time for survival"
by
Alexandria

O
nce upon a time, somewhere in the jungle, there was an ape named Fred. For months his tribe, and his brother Edgarís tribe, lived in peace and harmony. But one-day Fredís tribe grew greedy, hateful, and ruthless. They started to become resentful of Edgarís tribe. Fred and his tribe decided they were forced to steal from Edgarís tribe. Soon though Edgarís tribe noticed that each day more, and more, food was gone each day.
One day Linda, Edgarís head of command, discovered Quetzel, Fredís head in command, sneaking around the vault that they kept their food in. Linda called Edgar over, secretly and they locked Quetzel up. The next morning, in front of Fredís tribe, they threatened to kill him. Fred stormed over to Edgar and said, ìI demand a fight to the death!î So, they had the most gruesome fight ever. Edgar was younger, so naturally, he was better. After the long, horrible battle, Edgarís fast, nimble body overcame Fred's Older one.
Edgar let Fredís tribe have a Choice. They either could give the food back, or leave unharmed, or they could starve to death without the help of Edgarís tribe. Opahís tribe had to give in, but they soon went back to their stealing ways. Though they soon found out that there was no more food left to steal, they had stolen it all. Soon the tribe was starving again, just like Edgarís tribe had said in the first place.
Many nights after that, the tribe with no leader, decided to go back, give up the food, and apologize. When they got there they rushed straight to Edgar, and pleaded for forgiveness. Of course Edgar knew what was happening, so with his tribe he decided to forgive, and accept them into his tribe. There were few conflicts after that, and in the end they all lived happily, ever after.



The End
