Great Short Poetic Read Aloud Story

'Trouble in the Bubble'
One day a beautiful bubble lands on top of a hill.
All the people in the town see the bubble, and start singing and dancing around it. 'It's a bubble, it's a bubble it's a great big bubble, it's a bubble its a bubble......etc
Then the king sees the bubble, 'That's not a bubble, that's trouble.' He steps towards the bubble and sudenly he is trapped in the bubble. Oh no now there is trouble in the bubble.
The King said 'eeee get me out of this bubble,' but there was trouble in the bubble and you can't rule a kingdom from a bubble that's trouble trouble trouble no you can't rule a kingdom from a bubble that's trouble.......what to do?
'Get me the great Green Knight, he has slain armies with his sword that can cut through air... The Green knight comes riding riding riding up to the bubble takes a swipe at the bubble and now there is trouble as he becomes trapped in the bubble.
'Eeeeee get me out of this bubble shouts the king … you can't rule a kingdom from a bubble that's trouble.......what to do?
'Get me the great Red Knight, shouts the king. He has the sharpest lance of all and can charge across the battlefield at the speed of lightning. The great Red Knight gallops towards the bubble lance outstretched, but oh no now thre is more trouble in the bubble.
'EEEE get me out of this trouble shouts the King, but you can't rule a kingdom from a bubble, thats trouble etc.......
Finally the Kings calls for his champion of champions the Great Black Knight he causes havoc and terror wherever he goes. Charging through the crowd in his golden and black chariot, he swings his great golden ball and chain, but 'oh no now there is trouble'
'eeeeee get me out of this bubble you can't rule a kingdom from a bubble that's trouble.......what to do?
Just then a little girl is coming back into town with her Dad who she's been out with. She sees the bubble. 'Oh Daddy' look at that beautiful bubble.
'That's not a bubble, that's trouble'
'Oh no Daddy look again it's only a bubble, a great big beautiful bubble' The girl dances towards the bubble and the crowd hold their breath as she heads towards the trouble. The king dances up and down in the bubble 'get me out of this trouble'. you can't rule a kingdom from a bubble that's trouble.......what to do?
The girl steps forward, 'trouble, there's no trouble it's just a bubble' and she pokes the bubble with her finger gently and ......it pops.
'You see if you treat it like a bubble, then that's all it is.

and that's the story of the 'trouble in the bubble, that wasn't really trouble, because it was really just a bubble.

  1. hmmm... I see. This bubble DOES seem to pose some serious trouble. If terrorists were to get ahold of this trouble bubble technology, the world as we know it would end! We need to start researching these little girl defense systems as soon as possible! Get me a government grant! America isn't safe!

    The story is sending a message saying not to judge or make something out to be what it isn's.
    Don't make things difficult than they have to be.

  3. This story reminds us of the power of perception. Is the glass half empty or half full? It's all in how we view situations in life. I choose to see the glass half full.

  4. What a great poetic short story. From my understanding, all this short story is stating to not take something so simple and plain and make it so complicated and confusing. There's always a simple solution or outcome so don't turn it into something difficult to figure out.

  5. I love this short story and the sybolism it carries. People should not make problems bigger than they are and just handle them calmly or you just stress yourself and everyone else out.
