how creative are you?

[AlecBGreen]

i am writing a fable for my chinese class and i need an ending to a stroy. so far a fat cat is sitting in a tree looking for a snack, and then sees a mouse on the ground doing the same thing. the cat thinks "so stupid, hes doomed!" now i just need a surprising, comedic ending to wrap it up. keep it simple though, cause its only an intermediate level course (i.e. dont have a space ship involved or a discussion on baroque music...) Thanks!

1. Maybe something about a large Dog...

....sitting behind the cat and a tiger sitting behind the Dog ?

2. the rat eats the cat

That's how I'D end the story, anyway. :D

3. The cat slips and falls

he thinks he was high and mighty and better than the mouse, the cat falls, and hurts himself, while the mouse burrows under the ground back to safety.

4. you've got to get the tree involved

have it break a branch, dumping the cat someplace nasty

5. Ok, heres a few.

Traditional: have fatcat fall into "trap" and Snackmouse take pity on him freeing him.

Video game: Fatcat pounces on Snackmouse who then proceeds to get "Mortal Kombat" on his feline ass.

Esoteric: Fatcat waxes philosphical on life and death and existential angst while Snackmouse ponders his the future of his family and their happiness.
And then a flaming 757 falls out of the sky and kills them both.

Post Modern: Fatcat complains about limited storytelling abilities of story author and proceeds to write his own ending.

British humor: Involves a skinny man with a long scarf, a group of men dressed as women doing silly walks, a soiled towel and a sock wit a half-brick init held by a scrawny man with a pointy hat with "Wizzard" on it. And the punch line is "42".

Hope this helps.

6. An owl swoops down and eats the mouse

and neither cat or mouse gets a snack, because they weren't thinking about looking up.

7. The mouse is looking at an acron thinking...

"such a stupid acorn. It is doomed."

The acorn is thinking, "In a hundred years I will be a mighty oak."

The owl swoops down and snatches the mouse while thinking, "I have saved the oak tree for my grandchildren."
