He was getting old so he retired. And the next pack leader was a strong female named Skyfeather. Skyfeather was very strong. Skyfeather ruled a little differently than Howl.

Fern wanted to be leader, but she was too young to be leader.

Skyfeather was a little less merciful than Howl. She would hurt all strangers on her territory, exept for one time when...

Not a continuation to Jean's story, but a Spanglish story. Add accents and enyas and such where they're supposed to be. And pardon my abominable grammar; it's truly pitiful how little I know after three years of high school Spanish. Btw, ths is all in preterite, so accentuate that way if you know Spanish.

 

Mucho tiempo ago vivo un pinguino. Se llama Bob. Bob se gusta comer los peces y crabs. Todos los peces tuvieron fear de Bob. Bob no fue bien a catching los peces, so Bob comieron los crabs instead. Cuando Bob tuvo tres anos, encuentro (or encontro? Don't remember) una pinguina bonita. Se gusta la pinguina, pero la pinguina fue dead. Bob cried y comieron un pez porque estuvo triste. Bob always comieron cuando estuvo triste. Bob fue muy gordo. Uno dia, Bob encuentro un whale. El whale fue mas gordo que Bob, pero el whale fue dying. Bob pushed el whale muy hard, y el whale fell back en el (or la? Don't remember that *blushes*) agua y stopped dying. Bob estuvo muy feliz. El whale se llama Marco, pero Marco fue una chica. Los padres de Marco no supieron que Marco fue una chica until fue too late. Marco se gusta Bob, pero Marco sneezed y el ice floe de Bob flew en el air. Bob fell off el ice floe y died. Marco estuvo muy triste, pero fue nothing ella could hacer about it. El final. 

 

Like it? :D Stupid story, I know. Fun to write, though.

 Let me try to translate EH's story into English, since many Chatterboxers don't speak Spanish:

 Long ago there lived a penguin. His name was Bob. Bob liked to eat fish and crabs. Bob was no good at catching fish, so he ate crabs instead. When Bob was three years olde, he met a beautiful little female penguin. He liked the female penguin, but the female penguin died. Bob cried and ate a _  (I'm not sure what he ate; I only know a little Spanish). Bob always ate when he felt sad. Bob was very _ (I'm not sure what she said  here). One day, Bob met a whale. The whale was dying. Bob pushed the whale very hard, and the whale fell back into the water and stopped dying. Bob felt very happy. The whale's name was Marco, and Marco was a girl. Marco's parents had not known Marco was a girl until it was too late. Marco liked Bob, but Marco sneezed and Bob's ice floe fell into the air. Bob fell off the ice flow and died. Marco felt very sad, but there was nothing she could do about it. The end.

Roughly, yes. I was too lazy to look up things like "dying" and "whale."

I noticed that. Well, actually I wondered if it just wasn't in the - well whatever you look things up in. What did Bob eat when that female penguin died, anyway? I didn't know what it meant, and my English/Spanish dictionary thing didn't have it. I think the words were 'pez de porque' or something... Well, I didn't know what that meant - what was it in English?
