A very long time ago there lived a very good tiger named Tiger Luther and a very bad Lion named Martin. But Martin ate birds and other animals. Tiger Luther didn’t eat birds or animals, he ate plants and drank water instead of blood from other animals. One day Martin the lion convinced Tiger Luther to eat birds and other animals but he stilled ate plants and drank water. Again Martin convinced Tiger Luther to do bad things like put scratches on trees in the jungle, and on other animals. That’s why a tiger turned bad.

We believe we should have food fights everyday.
Our first reason is that it would make the vice principal mad.
Our second reason is that it gets squishy and looks funny.
Our final reason is that we don’t have to eat the food and it’s fun.
In conclusion, we believe we should have food fights every day.
