5 Chapter One The Friendly Letter Once upon a time, in a faraway land, the Big Bad Wolf decided to change his evil ways. He wanted to become the Fabulous, Friendly Wolf. The wolf needed help. He had no idea how to become friendly, so he visited the Friendly Fairy. 5

6 He asked the Friendly Fairy to turn him into the Fabulous, Friendly Wolf. The Friendly Fairy was quite pleased Mr. Wolf wanted to change his evil ways, but she would only grant him the wish if he was able to earn it. She proclaimed, In order to become friendly, you need to write a friendly letter to one of the three pigs. 6

7 7

8 Poof! The Friendly Fairy presented the Big Bad Wolf with the friendly letter page. She said, Many different characters from the kingdom will come to help you learn how to write a friendly letter. You must learn the rules they teach you, or you won t become the Fabulous Friendly Wolf! 8

9 9

10 Word spread quickly throughout the kingdom. Many different characters gathered to help the Big Bad Wolf learn how to write a friendly letter. 10

11 11

12 Prince Heading was the first to arrive. He said, I m so happy to help you write your letter. Of course you know that the heading is the date. The heading is very important, so Mr. Pig will know when you wrote the letter. Next, Prince Heading told the wolf the heading rule: You capitalize the month, write the date and a comma, then the year. Good luck with your letter filled with news and good cheer! 12

13 June 13,

14 After Prince Heading made his exit, in pounced Dear Lion. He roared, Some call me King of the Jungle, but I am really Dear Lion, in charge of the greeting! Your greeting needs to let Mr. Pig know the letter is for him. Next, Dear Lion told the wolf the greeting rule: Capitalize dear and the name, then end it with a comma. Keep the greeting simple, without the drama! 14

15 June 13, 2010 Dear Mr. Pig, 15

16 When Dear Lion departed, in waltzed Queen Manners. She declared, I am in charge of the opening to make sure you have good manners. Ask Mr. Pig how he is feeling, before you give him your news. Next, Queen Manners told the wolf the opening rule: Indent, then write How are you? with a capital and question mark; that s all you do. 16

17 June 13, 2010 Dear Mr. Pig, How are you? I hope you are feeling well this time of year. 17

18 After Queen Manners politely excused herself, in charged King Idea. He bellowed, As King, I am the ruler of big ideas! The topic sentence is the big idea of the letter. In a friendly letter, the topic sentence is the news you want to share with a friend or a question you ask a friend. You have news to tell Mr. Pig. He needs to hear you are now a fabulous, friendly wolf. Next, King Idea stated the topic sentence rule: Ask a question or tell some news! Make it important and you can t lose. 18

19 June 13, 2010 Dear Mr. Pig, How are you? I hope you are feeling well this time of year. I have great news I am sending to you. I want to be your friend! 19

20 Once King Idea made his demands, in marched the Duke of Details. He announced, Details, details, details! You need to write details about the topic sentence. You told Mr. Pig you want to be his friend, so write three different things you can do to be friendly. Next, the Duke of Details told the wolf the details rule: Write one, two, three details that tell about your news. Make sure you stick to the topic, and don t get confused! 20

21 June 13, 2010 Dear Mr. Pig, How are you? I hope you are feeling well this time of year. I have great news I am sending to you. I want to be your friend! Can you come to my cozy cave and play checkers? When we play, I ll sing you some silly songs that will make you snort and laugh. After the board games and songs, we can roll in a puddle of mud! 21

22 When the Duke of Details was satisfied, in sauntered Sir Gallant of Good-byes. He stated, I offer my advice, since I am known for my good-byes. End your letter with nice words and ask Mr. Pig to write you back. Next, Sir Gallant of Good-byes told the wolf the good-bye rule: Write a sweet ending, make it polite. Write me back soon! may sound just right. 22

23 June 13, 2010 Dear Mr. Pig, How are you? I hope you are feeling well this time of year. I have great news I am sending to you. I want to be your friend! Can you come to my cozy cave and play checkers? When we play, I ll sing you some silly songs that will make you snort and laugh. After the board games and songs, we can roll in a puddle of mud! I hope you want to be friends. Write me back soon and let me know. 23

24 Once Sir Gallant of Good-byes bid his farewell, the Knight of Closing charged in. He demanded, Now that you have said your good-byes, you need a closing. The closing is an honorable way to end your letter. You may close with Your friend, since you will now be Mr. Pig s friend! Next, the Knight of Closing told the wolf the closing rule: Capitalize the first word and place a comma at the end. This is my closing rule that no one shall bend! 24

25 June 13, 2010 Dear Mr. Pig, How are you? I hope you are feeling well this time of year. I have great news I am sending to you. I want to be your friend! Can you come to my cozy cave and play checkers? When we play, I ll sing you some silly songs that will make you snort and laugh. After the board games and songs, we can roll in a puddle of mud! I hope you want to be friends. Write me back soon and let me know. Your friend, 25

26 Poof! At the end of the letter, the Friendly Fairy appeared. She announced, Congratulations! I officially declare you Mr. Fabulous, Friendly Wolf! After that, the Friendly Fairy sang the signature rule: Your letter was perfect, so please sign your name. You have won friendly letter fame! Quickly, Mr. Wolf signed his name, and mailed his letter to Mr. Pig. Will the pig want to be friends with the wolf? 26

27 June 13, 2010 Dear Mr. Pig, How are you? I hope you are feeling well this time of year. I have great news I am sending to you. I want to be your friend! Can you come to my cozy cave and play checkers? When we play, I ll sing you some silly songs that will make you snort and laugh. After the board games and songs, we can roll in a puddle of mud! I hope you want to be friends. Write me back soon and let me know. Your friend, 27

28 Chapter Two The Thank You Note MR. WOLF 6 WOODED ROAD FORESTLAND RK MR. PIG 3 PIGGY ROAD FARMLAND RK When Mr. Pig received the wolf s letter he rejoiced, I m delighted Mr. Wolf has changed his evil ways! I will write him a short note to thank him for his kindness! 28

29 FROM THE DESK OF MR. PIG Dear Mr. Wolf, Thank you for the kind words in your letter. I would love to be your friend! We will have fun playing games and rolling in the mud. Our new friendship makes me snort with joy. This news has changed my life forever. Your friend, 29

30 Chapter Three The Business Letter After Mr. Pig mailed the wolf a thank you note, he then had a great idea! I will write King Idea a business letter. I need to convince his majesty to formally invite Mr. Wolf to an official gathering to knight him Sir Fabulous Friendly Wolf. 30

31 Mr. Pig Enterprises 3 Piggy Road Farmland, RK June 19, 2010 King Idea, His Royal Highness 5 Castle Lane Lovely Land, RK Dear Sire: Thank you for being a regal ruler, and also for helping Mr. Wolf write his friendly letter to me, your royal subject Mr. Pig. You will be pleased that I forgave him, and we are now very good friends. The entire kingdom is thrilled that the fairy declared him fabulous and friendly. I am writing this letter to request that you honor Mr. Wolf s good behavior by granting him a knighthood. I suggest we invite all your royal subjects. They will cheer when you announce his new title. If you accept this request, I offer my services to plan the celebration. Sincerely, Mr. Pig Mr. Pig Enterprises 31
