Once upon a time…

There was a girl that worked really hard because her two stepsisters and her stepmother ordered her to do many chores.

The royal ball was coming soon and this time the prince was going to choose a princess from his kingdom, to marry.

The day of the ball Naomy really wanted to go but she couldn’t because her stepmother asked her to clean everything, wash the clothes, feed the animals and other tasks.

When Naomy finished doing everything she realised that she did not have a dress to wear to the ball and was very sad. Suddenly a fairy godmother appeared and said that she was going to grant her three wishes. Naomy accepted.

Naomy´s first wish was to have a very beautiful dress, her second wish was for a pair of crystal heels, and her third wish was to have an awesome carriage.

When Naomy arrived at the ball, the prince was hypnotized by her beauty and asked her to dance with him immediately.

When the party finished Naomy had neither told the prince her name nor the place where she was living. When the prince asked her it was too late as Naomy had to arrive home before ten o´clock so that her stepmother wouldn´t know that she had gone out.

Finally, the prince found the girl and they became very good friends and then they got married.

And that is the end of the story…

– “Peter! Pick up your toys!” – said his mum for the fifth time.

But Peter was so excited with his new video game, that he didn´t obey his mother.

– “Please, Peter, I´m not repeating it again, it´s time to have a shower and then eat dinner”.

Peter reluctantly stopped playing the last video game of a game saga he was collecting; “Pirates from the cursed island”. It was super interesting.

After dinner, his mum asked Peter to help her clear the table, but Peter ran to his room to continue playing the video game, instead of picking up the dirty dishes.

– “This kid is such a disaster! Have you seen the bathroom? Peter, pick up your clothes! Peter! Peteeeeeeer!!”

The next day, Peter woke up wondering why his mum hadn´t called him at the same time as always to go to school. He went downstairs to the kitchen and what a surprise when there at the table sat was One-eyed Captain! the pirate from his video game!

– “Bu…but…where is my mum? What are you doing here?”

– “Your mum does not live here any more, she got tired of you ignoring her every time she asks you to do something. Now, I will live in your house with my crew, and you will do everything we order you to do”.

– “Bu..bu..but…”

– “But nothing, I was waiting for you to wake up to prepare my breakfast. Hurry up, my crew is about to come”.

Peter started working, preparing breakfast for the whole crew, and then had to clear the table, wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen.

After many adventures through the seven seas, the Captain and his crew wanted to take a bath. After the bath, Peter had to pick up all the clothes and clean all the mess in the bathroom.

Peter spent the whole day following the pirates, picking up everything around. When night time arrived, Peter was very tired, and he asked the pirates to help him with the cleaning. The Captain looked at him and all of them started laughing. Then Peter woke up.

He then understood that it had all been just a dream, and thought:

– “My mum might be as tired as I was in my dream every night. From now on I´m going to help her , and I´m going to clean and tidy up”.

That day, His mum could not believe what she was seeing. Peter helped her to clear the table and he picked up his clothes. She didn´t understand what was going on, Only Peter knew every time he looked at his video game.

THE END

Once upon a time…

There was a boy called Mike who got along very well with the other children; Ruth Charlie and Eddy. They were all very good friends.

But one day, they had a fight. Nobody knew why this had happened because they played together every day and never had arguments.

It all started when they were trying to decide what to play. Each of them chose a different game. One of them decided to play football, another wanted to skip with a rope, and another wanted to play hide and seek.

They could not reach an agreement and so started to argue. One of them stopped the dispute quickly, saying:

– “Don’t fight just because each of you have different ideas. We can organize ourselves and play all the games. A different game every day, and then all of us will be happy“.

The kids realized that arguing was not good and were very sorry, because they were very good friends. They laughed at what had happened and played everyday as before.

They decided to invent different games every afternoon, and had so much fun using their imagination.

They never argued again, and were very happy because they respected each other.

THE END

Moral Of the Short Story: We all have to learn to live with people and learn how to be happy as we are.

Once upon a time…

There was a friendly monster called Merlin, who didn´t like being bad, but everybody was afraid of him.

There were also dragons and, as they were bad, people thought that Merlin was bad too.

Merlin decided to go out for a walk with his friend Lisa. They met a group of girls who, when they saw Merlin, were really scared.

One of them was the King´s daughter who then told her father what she had seen. the King sent his best hunters in kingdom to search for the monster.

They looked for him everywhere as they did not want him to scare the town’s inhabitants again.

Merlin saw them and ran away. He was afraid for himself and for his friend Lisa as he did not want her to be hurt.

They were running away from the hunters when Lisa fell into a trap the hunters had set and was injured.

Merlin pulled her out of the trap and saved her and they went to live in another place. There, they demonstrated to everybody that they were not bad and that sometimes appearances are decieving. From then on, they could go out for walks and nobody was scared of them or tried to hurt them.

James came from the universe to visit his friend Miranda. He first met her in the planetarium.

James didn´t go frequently so, he used to send stars to Miranda every time he was thinking of her.

But now Miranda was very sad as it had been more than two months without seeing a star dedicated to her.

One day, watching the sky, Miranda watched a space ship land and ran to see it convinced that it was James. But as she didn´t see her friend getting out, she hid quickly.

Instead she watched as a robot climbed out the space ship. It shone with such brightness she was barely able to look at it. The robot wandered around for a few seconds, searching for something or someone. When the robot went back to the spaceship, a paper note fell from him to the ground.

The space ship then took off until there was only a tiny dot in the infinite.

Miranda came out of hiding, took the note and with curiosity read it.

“Hi Miranda, It´s James: I have been sick, I caught “Saturn Shavings”. I can´t go out until I´m totally recovered. That is the reason why I can´t create stars to you. But I am sending my Nanny, this likable robot instead as I want you to know that I am always thinking of you, and I miss you”.

Miranda was very happy. She went back home and, from the window, sent many wishes for James to recover soon.

It wasn’t very long after that Miranda saw new and beautiful stars. James had recovered.

And that is the end of the story…

Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved playing different games. He liked to be many things, sometimes he was the wind, other times the rain.

One morning, as he was walking, he stopped and said:

-“Today, I want to be a twin!”

His mum laughed and said:

-“Ok, today you are a twin”

The kid called himself “Two” and said:

– “We want milk for breakfast, two eggs and two waffles”.

Two friends asked him on his way to school, which of the twins he was. The boy said:

– “We are both called Toto and will answer to that name”.

He sat in school using two chairs, read two books, made two drawings, played with two balls and even went back home twice from school.

He did everything twice, as if his twin brother really existed. The boy had so much fun every day.

When he was at home, his mum reminded him that he had to do his homework before playing. At that moment the kid changed his mind because he had to do his homework twice and he did not like that so much.

-“Enough! I don´t want to be a twin any more!” – said the kid.

Two´s mum laughed, and the kid said:

– “Tomorrow I will be a flute or a suitcase!”

And that is the end of the story…

Once upon a time there was a kid called Arthur who went to collect halloween sweets. He dressed up as a pirate and, after finishing asking for sweets, went home.

Arthur went to his room after dinner, took his teddy bear and fell asleep. His parents wished him good night and kissed him happily to sleep.

While sleeping, a noise gave him a start and he woke up. Arthur looked under the bed and there on the floor was a giant! But Arthur was not scared.

Then he heard another strange noise from inside the wardrobe and it was Mr. Vampire. Later still, he heard a noise coming from the window, and this time it was a ghost.

The noises continued increasing inside the room without stopping. Arthur was worried when heard the door open but calmed down when saw his parents, who had biscuits and Arthur’s  halloween candies.

Together they ate the biscuits and candies he had collected that terrifying day.

And that is the end of the story…

This Short Story tells a beautiful story about a kid and his liking for halloween, but I have to set the scene for you first…

You all know about the famous day called Halloween, when everybody goes out at night dressed up as a monster, a witch, a zombie, Death or the famous E.T.

Well, many years ago, a kid called Lolo, who really liked short stories, decided to collect all the Halloween stories he knew in one book which he called “Halloween Stories”.

He began to collect the stories when he was only five years old in an old parchment book. In spite of being only five, he remembered at least ten stories about Halloween that his parents had told him.

When Lolo was ten years old he still collected stories and had more than one hundred stories written in his parchment book.

Soon, Lolo turned fifteen and was so proud of his hobby, as he was the boy who knew more about Halloween than anyone else at his school.

But when Halloween arrived that year, Lolo suddenly disappeared from the land of the living…dying in mysterious circumstances.

His parents found him in his bedroom, dressed up as a zombie with the halloween stories on his chest.

Neither the police nor the doctors knew what had happened to Lolo or how his life had ended, without further ado.

From that day to this, it is thought that Lolo goes out over all the cities of the world every Halloween night, dressed up as a zombie, carrying his Halloween Stories…

Legend says that his ghost won´t stop roaming the streets during the magic night until he finishes his Halloween storybook collection.

Do you know a Short Story about Halloween? Do you want to tell it to Lolo so he can finish his book? You might see him next Halloween…dressed up as a zombie, waiting for you to tell him your Halloween story…

…THE END…FOR THE MOMENT…

He was called Peter, I´m not sure if it was his real name, but I did not care his name, what  I liked were his Stories.

He was always writing in the morning, he loved writing at that time, listening the birds singing.

One day, a little bird told me that saw him writing a story on the feathers of a dove. All birds were looking at him meanwhile he was writing, they wanted to know what was he writing; and when Peter finished writing on the dove feathers, let her fly.

The other birds watched the dove flying, and finally read so curious:

“Birds are born with lots of feathers on their body, but nobody has taught them writing, if somebody did, maybe, the could write many stories on the air, and children could read in the open air. Imagine every day, learn that birds always let their imagination run, and that is so true, because it is said that, every time birds are singing is because they are imagining something, so, if they are singing everyday at any time is because are surrounded of fantasy, adventures and imagination“.

THE END

Moral of the story: Animals has also something to tell us, not just humans have stories.
