BELLA AND TROY By Fa'amanu

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there lived a family, which were called tigers. The father tiger had three daughters who lived in a huge jungle with wild animals everywhere. There was a pretty tiger called Bella. She was gorgeous and she was the only one who had to clean up all the mess from the other two daughters.

The family were all coloured orange and black.  One day wild humans destroyed their home. So they decided to move to a poor part of the jungle. They were so sad and they were hungry and thirsty. Bella said, “I’m scared Dad.”

One day, father tiger went hunting in the jungle, running through the trees, Father tiger heard a noise. The noise was coming from behind the trees. A lion called Troy kidnapped Father tiger. Troy was a handsome lion and he could roar louder than an elephant and run faster than a cheetah. 

Troy had decided to kidnap father tiger because father tiger had stolen food from Troy’s den. “Please don’t eat me! I just wanted food and water for my poor family,” said father tiger. “Too bad. You stole from my den,” replied Troy. Troy was very angry, as angry as a monster.

Troy decided to let father tiger go, but said to him “Bring me the first thing you see when you get home.” He explained that if father tiger didn’t bring anything Troy would destroy his family.

When father tiger got to his poor home he saw Bella and he said “Oh no! I don’t want to take my beautiful daughter to Troy because he might kill her.” But father tiger had to take his glorious daughter to see Troy.

Father tiger said, “I don’t want to lose my splendid daughter. She’s the most beautiful thing in the jungle.” But father tiger had to take Bella to Troy. Father tiger didn’t want his family to get destroyed. “Come with me,” said father tiger. “I will take you somewhere special.”

When Bella get’s to Troy’s den Bella saw Troy and Bella fell in love with Troy. Troy tried to look handsome at the front of Bella. Troy didn’t want to kill Bella he wanted Bella to marry him. Bella and Troy had a picnic near a cave. Bella kissed Troy and Troy said, “Will you marry me.” Bella said, “Yes, I will marry you.” The other two daughters were so jealous. Father tiger was happy and they lived happily every after.
