My classmates asked me what I had given my mum for Mother´s Day, and I told them I had given her her a caricature. They asked me why and I said I didn’t have money and that is why I had drawn her.

A month before Mother´s Day, I asked my mom to wake me up. When she did, she would sit and watch the news on TV, and when I had finished my breakfast I used to draw her without her even noticing.

THE EMPEROR´S NEW CLOTHES

A summary of the original Short Story written by: Christian Andersen

Once upon a time there was an emperor that spent all his money on expensive clothes. He cared nothing about other activities like going to the theatre, or going for a ride in his carriage, except to show off his new clothes. He didn´t even care about talking to people.

In the great city where he lived, there were lots of tourists. One day two swindlers arrived and let it be known that they were weavers and they said they could make the emperor the most magnificent suit from a special fabric. Not only were their colours and patterns uncommonly fine, but clothes made from this cloth were only visible to clever people.

One year, there was a new cheese stand in the middle of the square, the smell coming from there was different from the others and the girl went to see it.

The stand had only one kind of cheese which nobody had tasted because of the strong smell. When Beatrice approached the cheese seller cut a piece of cheese to her.

When she was about to try it, a man from the stand beside shouted:

“Don´t eat it! It´s not a normal cheese! Look at the colour and the smell, it stinks!”

Beatrice was shocked and didn´t know what to do, until the man selling that strange cheese spoke:

“This is the best cheese I have ever produced. It is very special, I´m sure it will be the best cheese you have ever eaten”.

Beatrice decided to taste it, and when she bit into it her expression changed completely. It was the best cheese she had ever tried. It’s bad smell had nothing to do with how it tasted.

So she named it the best cheese ever and everybody learnt how important was to give an opportunity to everybody.
