(2) The centipede was getting a little frustrated on not being right, but tried once again. He said that if he called the doctor, the doctor would make him well...... He didn't. (sweetpea-c, Age 8 to 12, 9/10/2006 8:25:36 PM, Thecetipedewhocould)

(3) "Told you so," said his ladybug friend Dutches. "I can't imagine why you believed that wiley old dung betal's sales pitch." (Teresa, Adult, 11/29/2006 12:46:41 PM, Thecetipedewhocould)

(4) "I didn't," the centipede replied, " I simply wanted to see if I could follow the steps of my hero, Napoleanite. It is said he took poison to try and commit suicide, but in belieiveing that he was ten times stronger than any other mortal man, took ten times more poison than was required. His body rejected the poison. It is aid his ego saved his life. I have always been fascinated with Napoleanite and I have decided i will endure all the hardships and loss he went through as a way of making myself stronger."

(5) The centipede then said,"A truck wont kill me I am to strong,I will stand in the middle of the road and wait for a truck" (Tahlia, Age 8 to 12, 2/4/2007 9:25:52 PM, Thecetipedewhocould)

(6) He waited for hours and hours, but no truck came. The centipede decided to take break from his vigil and find something to do. (Delph, Age 13 to 18, 2/26/2007 5:35:06 PM, Thecetipedewhocould)

(7) He walked along the street when he met a raven. "Hello," said the Raven eyeing the centipede's plump body, "How are you?" (Billy Boy, Age 5 to 8, 3/5/2007 7:14:05 PM, Thecetipedewhocould)

(8) "Can I give you a lift" said the Raven. "I am just here to help" (Debbie, Parent, 3/16/2007 11:14:05 PM, Thecetipedewhocould)

(9) "Sure," said the centipede forgetting his quest, "I could use a lift." As the centipede inched itself onto the Raven's back the Raven eyed his body hungrily. It was hard to find food in the forest, most of the animals were wise to his tricks. But yet here was a feast stupidly accepting a ride from a predator. A trickle of saliva fell from the Raven's mouth as he imagined all the wonderous meals he could make with his find. (minni, Age 13 to 18, 3/24/2007 2:40:42 PM, Thecetipedewhocould)

(10) With a quiet whoosh, the Raven launched into the air. The Centipede hung on for dear life with all one hundred of his legs. He peered down though a fluff of black feathers to the forest far below. At the horizon, a strange and shimmery greyness appeared and grew larger.
