Not so big now are you.

LEONIDUS THE MANLY HORSE
Once upon a time there was a wooden horse.
His name was Leonidus and he was a wooden
horse. He was so upset because his father was
taking all the glory of being the war stopper.
His father’s name was Trojan. Leonidus was
picked on because he was a very little horse
made of wood. All he wanted to do was fit in.
One day Leonidus was walking to the market and out of
nowhere a man ran by him screaming “Aghhhhhhhhh!”
“Run kids! Argos Panoptes is coming and he can see all over so
hide good.” Then the chaos spread like wildfire. Crowds of
people started running and hurrying to get to the best hiding
spots. Unfortunately little Leonidus was a small colt who
wasn’t very fast, leaving him stranded in the open.
“Rawwr! Who dares try to hide from me. I will find you and I
will tag you,“ said the monster. “Guys why wont you play with
me? It’s not fair.” And the monster sat down and began to
cry.
“Well I’ll play with you, Mister Argos.”
HIDE AND GO SEEK.
Argos was finding the horse every time but would not
except to be found so Leonidus wanted to quit. He
told the almighty Argos that he was bored and
walked away. Argos got angry and ran after the
horse. Since Leonidus was slow he couldn’t get
away so he screamed “Help! Help!” but everyone
just ignored him. “Daddy help!” he screamed. Out
of nowhere the Trojan horse prevailed.
“Ill help you boy!” screamed the father. The little
horse, Leonidus got away just in time.
THE RETURN
Back at the fortress of the sheltered walls there
waited a colt for the return of his father. He
waits a long time, but his father, Trojan, doesn’t
show. Then out of nowhere, he saw a moving
figure. It was very slow so it couldn’t have been
the great Trojan horse, but unfortunately it was.
He rushed over to see his dad for a second
before his dad turned into a big pile of rubble.
LATER
Several years later, on that very same day, a colt
turns into a Stallion and he is just happy to be
out and able to roam freely. Then on the
anniversary of the Trojan horses death
Chimaeras shows up. He was hideous with his
mixture of a lion, goat and snake. To tell you
the truth the animal was hideous to see. All of
the town hid in fear at just the rawer of the
beast. But one didn’t and that was Leonidas.
THE FIGHT IN THE BEGINNING
“Hey you stop hurting the people of this town.”
“What are you talking about, I just came to have
a little snack and if you don’t get out of my way
you will be my toothpick.”
“Take that back said the young stallion.”
“Only if you leave me alone will I take it back and
if you don’t you will be fire wood for my cave ha,
ha, ha.”
THE ENDING BATTLE
The battle struck out. People all around saying
give him a wheel, another wheel. The fight
lasted days on end. Crashing and hitting all of
the stuff made the two tired. They both were
wishing that they weren’t there at the moment.
Finally the cay came when the horse was going
to give up, but so was the Chimaeras. Then at
the last blow of the horse the Chimaeras fell of
a cliff and died. The from all the fighting and
pain Leonidus layed down and slept for a while.
