What is the shortest story you have read?
This is a story, about a tiny little hamster, who lived in a luscious green valley.
The curious creature that you can see on this page, is called Kiwi. He was a fluffy little hamster who had a big heart, and lived in the middle of an old oak tree.
He was different to all the other larger animals. He wasn't the strongest, nor was he the the fastest, or smartest. However he was the tiniest.
In fact the tiniest around, he could sneak around wherever he wanted to and nobody would notice him.
One day after finishing playing tag with his tail, he began to trot off to his woodland home.
Along the way he encountered a group of two large dogs, one a smart wolf, and one a tall dumb greyhound, each had a huge grin on their faces.
"Hello" said the small hamster.
"Oh my, how tiny you are?" asked the red hound of the group.
"Well two inches tall, to be correct why might you ask"said the little rodent with a smile.
"You must be the smallest animal I have ever seen" exclaimed the greyhound.
"Some would say the most agile" said the little hamster, whilst wagging his tiny tail.
"Some would say small, pitiful and useless, how can you be of any contribution to our valley?"
"But..." Said the little hamster in a confused and upset tone.
Off the two dogs trotted off, laughing, and casting longs shadows on the little hamster, as he wept.
"Hello!" yelled a large wolf with mock whiskers
"Please, excuse me". Exclaimed the little rodent with tears in his eyes.
The she wolf looked down to the rodent, and then told the small hamster all about her own life in the valley. She went into depth about how she enjoyed lying in the sun day after day, wishing she was a rodent like the small hamster, and watching the clouds go by. She loved trying to figure out what shapes they were in.
The little one began to open up, and the two sat next to each other, and started talked about their wishes. "I wish I was taller" said the small rodent. "Hmmmmmmm" hummed the wolf. Out she whipped a pair of tall boots , and strapped them to the fragile, little hamsters paws.
However, when standing up, the rodent tumbled over into a patch of thorny roses.
"Nope" whimpered the little hamster, as he sat pulling out thorns from his small paws.
The large wolf scratched her chin, and she let out a loud whistling sound.
Suddenly a large flock of birds appeared, and the picked the little hamster up high into the sky.
"DOES THAT WORK?!" shouted the ditzy wolf
"NOPE, PUT ME DOWN!" screamed the little rodent.
Again, the wolf scratched her chin. She noticed two sticks lying beside her, and let out a large smile. She crafted a crude pair of stilts, and handed them to him. "Try these on for size, she said".
The little rodent slotted his feet into the crudely crafted sticks, and stood up.
"Why, I feel 10 foot tall!" the dog said with a huge grin.
The she-wolf smiled, as she peered upwards toward this huge, happy hamster.
The end.

Out of the corner of the hamsters eyes, he spotted the group of wolves from earlier, and began venturing toward them.
"Roar!" Yelled the little hamster.
"Agghhhhhhhh look! It's a monster!" Screamed the two in unison.
"Agghhhhhhhh look! It's a monster!" Screamed the two in unison.
The two bullies ran as fast as their legs could carry them, leaving a trail of prints behind them.
The next day, the whole valley stared in awe at the tall rodent, and he looked down with a huge smile.
The end.
