Have you ever wondered how pineapples became a fruit?Well if you are interested this is a story on how the juicy yellow sometimes sour pineapple became a fruit.

Once upon a time long ago before pineapples ever existed and gummy bears took over earth from the dinosaurs, there were these animals called the hiyuty.They were the second rulers of the earth.One day the sun came too close to the earth the gummy bears started melting and the hiyutys started to burn.When the sun finally drifted away  ashes from the hiyutys lay all around and the melted gummy bears pushed the ashes into the ground and things started to grow out of the ground.little green things.They were everywhere. Because of the melted gummy bear they were growing like crazy.These brownie green things were coming out of the other planty things.A creature called the gofter came from the sun and came over to one of these things and cut it in half.It was yellow and there was juice spilling out of the centre.The creature ate it.He called for the rest of his kind.They all came out of their hiding places.The gofters celebrated because they finally found a place where they can grow their fruit.They screamed something that sounded a bit like PINEAPPLE, so that it what they called their fruit.

So this is the story on how pineapples came to existence.If you were wondering what happened to the gofters, well they all died and a new life form came to earth.

How dinosaurs arrived and left earth!

How dinosaurs arrived and left earth!

Far away in another galaxy there were these green-faced creatures called dinosaurs. One day a dinosaur made a bet to a 3-faced alien on which team would win the rugby. The dinosaur bet the All Blacks and the Alien bet on the Crusaders. The person who lost the bet would have to take their kind and go to another galaxy and never return. Unfortunately the All Blacks lost the game so the dinosaur lost the bet. He got the rest of the dinosaurs and the terrordactyls flew them to another galaxy.

They landed on a random planet that they have never seen before. It was shining blue water and light green grass and with a touch of bright white cloud. They had never seen anything like it. There were so many beautiful trees and plants. Flowing waterfalls and lots of rivers. It was so beautiful they would never want to leave. They scared off every living creature they found.

After centuries and centuries the dinosaurs started to die off and a new life had formed. The Humans! This orange thing also started to form. They weren’t sure what it was because it didn’t look like a human. It was called a Donald Trump! Donald Trump scared off the dinosaurs all the way over to a planet we call Mars. Unfortunately Donald Trump still lives today and scientists’ research is correct, there is life on Mars and the dinosaurs that we thought were extinct are indeed alive.
