Explanation & Answer

Hi! I have finished the story and the story organizer. I have compared it against the rubric you attached to make sure it meets the requirements to get the highest score possible. The lesson that is being conveyed is that too much of a good thing is bad. I hope you like it! Let me know if you want me to make any changes.

Too Many Carrots

The sun shone a golden glow over the trees of the forest. The rabbits were playing by
their favorite tree trunk. It was the one that had the thick green vines wrapped delicately around
each branch. Ronny Rabbit was being his usual energetic self, running all around and talking
non-stop. He loved hanging out with his friends. Every weekend they would go out to their
favorite tree trunk and frolic. Not much ever happened. They just enjoyed talking and relaxing.
The forest may be boring, but they didn’t mind boring very much.
Ronny was different though. He didn’t want to just sit and talk. He was more interested in
running around, exploring new things, and going on an adventure. So, one day, his friends
decided to humor him. They decided that this wasn’t going to be any old boring day in the forest.
This time, they were going to explore somewhere new.
Ronny and his friends frolicked a bit too far. They hopped through deep valleys and
rocky hills and grassy meadows, until they finally came across a field. This field was expansive
and full of lush green plants. As the rabbits explored this field some more, they realized it was
full of carrots! Ronny was especially excited by this discovery because carrots are his favorite
food. He loved to eat carrots any chance he got, but unfortunately, his mom barely ever made
them for dinner.
“You better watch out eating so many carrots, Ronny,” his mother would say. “One of
these days, you’ll turn into one!”
Ronny thought of his mother’s suggestions, but quickly pushed them out of his head.
“Too many carrots?” Ronny thought to himself. “There’s no such thing as too many carrots!”

The temptation was too strong. The carrots looked too good. So, Ronny started yanking
the carrots up by their bushy green tops, ripping them out of the muddy ground at lightning
speed. He shoved carrot after carrot into his mouth as fast as he could. Ronny kept eating until he
had finished every carrot in the field.
Ronny’s stomach was so huge! He had finished all of the carrots in the field and he was
so full now. Ronny couldn’t move because he had eaten too many carrots.
“My tummy hurts,” Ronny groaned. He felt an intense, painful cramping in his stomach.
He also felt very nauseous. Ronny was a very unhappy rabbit now.
Ronny began to cry. He was in so much pain and he wanted his mommy. He wanted to
tell her that she had been right. There was a such thing as eating too many carrots. Ronny
realized that he had to start being smarter about how much he should eat. Carrots are a great
thing, but too much of a great thing isn’t great anymore. He decided he would start using
moderation when eating. He would still eat carrots, but instead of eating a whole field of them,
now he’s only going to eat one or two.
