There was a pigpen beside the Red Horse´s stable, where Pigui, two sibling pigs and mum and dad lived. Pigui was very special, he was a pig who loved playing in the mud.

They were all very happy when Sophie played loud music for them, because Pigui used to dance. He was the only one who would move and wallow in the mud. He always ended up very , very dirty.

At lunchtime, mum and dad used to ask all the pigs to wash themselves and remove any mud, but Pigui had mud all over him. He could barely see through his eyes. He did not like water at all and did not want to get wet. Even when it rained Pegui wore rubber boots and every other accessory to avoid getting wet.

That pig danced and wallowed in the mud so much that his mum and dad could only wash his mouth so he could eat the corn that George, the farmer, had given them for lunch. Even so, his Mum would teach him how important it was to wash himself everyday, especially before lunch.

This was a normal day for the pig family and they were very happy to be together.

“Enjoy my show and laugh!” – that´s how Clowny, the happy clown, used to begin his performance.

Every year children and adults from everywhere went to see him act, every kid but Alice who wasn´t happy there because she was scared of clowns.

Her little sister, Anna, tried to calm her: “Don´t worry Alice, clowns only want to make us laugh“, but neither her sister’s nor her parents’ advice helped Alice to feel better.

Clowny jumped up and down and enjoyed seeing the children´s happy faces, but he could see, in the third row, a girl hiding her face between her father´s arms. It was Alice.

When Clowny saw her, he knew exactly what was going on because it was not the first time he had seen a kid like that, but he wanted Alice to enjoy his show, so he hatched a plan.

He called some kids onstage, and Alice was among them, and he also called her mother and sister to encourage her.

When they all were on the stage, Clowny took out some musical instruments and gave them to the kids. Alice was so entertained playing the saxophone that she didn´t notice Clowny smiling and congratulating her for her talent and effort.

But when she finally saw his honest look and broad smile, she realised he was a good clown and forgot all her fears. “Thanks for calling me up onstage, Clowny. I was very scared of you, but now I know you are good and your intention is to make us happy and learn nice things, so I won´t be scared of clowns any more”.

When the teacher asked her about the weekend, Alice told her the story of being with Clowny, the happy clown, and how she had discovered that clowns only want to make kids happy.

Rose was a little girl who had dreamed of being a singer ever since she was three. Singing was her passion and she really loved music.

One night she dreamed that she was singing on stage and everybody clapped because of her beautiful voice.

The next day the school prepared a talent show. It was her opportunity to prove to herself that she could be a good singer, so she signed up for the talent show.

When tomorrow arrived, Rose started to sing and everybody was amazed. Her voice was beautiful and she looked like an angel.

From that day on she was known at school as “Angel voice” and when she grew up, she became a singer and was very happy.

There were two best friends called Charlotte and Katie. Charlotte liked classical music, and Katie modern music.

They were always together, then one day Charlotte was listening to classicical music when Katie arrived and said that modern music was much better.

Charlotte replied saying that modern music was awful. The girls had an argument then went home both very angry.

After a few hours they made peace and had an incredible idea. They made a mix of the two music styles and their song became famous all over the world.

Once upon a time there were three men crossing a field after escaping from prison, On their way across they met a guy with a guitar who joined them.

They had no money and were very hungry and wanted to earn some money. So, with the guitar, they went to a radio station.

When they arrived they all started to sing together a very nice song and the radio paid them some money.

They then continued on their way without knowing that their song was becoming famous all over the world, and everybody loved it.

They didn´t know how famous they were and nobody knew their faces either.

One day they arrived in a town where there was a festival in the main square and in the middle of the square a big stage for a talent show.

The fugitives wanted to take advantage of this to earn some money and decided to sing their song.

When people heard it they realised that these were the famous authors of that song and started to dance and sing. The four men didn´t expect something like this and were very suprised.

But the town mayor saw them, and luckily as they were already very famous they could pay the fine for having escaped prison and the mayor pardoned them.

The ex-prisioners lived free and happily ever after.

When he was a young snail, he would go with his mum all the way to school. It was only 2 meters away from their home but it always took them more than an hour to get there.

That was the best moment of the day for Sebastian because he liked to sing to his mother during the walk and make her day better.

He was actually quite different from other snails as he also liked to stay at home and sing for hours instead of sitting outside on sunny days doing nothing.

But his country never valued snails like him, so he decided to leave when he was 18 years old. He went to “Hope country” to try to become an important singer and to live his dream.

Unfortunately, Sebastian didn’t manage to live his dream. So, after a few months he went back home, Hope country was very expensive and he had run out of money.

Some days after he arrived home, Sebastian had a strange dream. He dreamt that a famous singer invited him to participate in a TV music show named “Number One”, as a singer. When he woke up he thought: “Oh..it was just a dream.”

But suddenly the door bell rang. It was the postman with a letter for Sebastian. Intrigued, he opened it  as fast as he could.

– “I can´t believe it! This is an invitation to participate in the TV music show Number One!” – said Sebastian crying.

He was now nearer to reaching his dream, which was to be the number one most important singer.

THE END

The moral of the story: One has to fight for one´s dreams and trust oneself.

One day when the break time bell rang, all the girls and the boys in her music class ran to the playground, but Carrie who had seen a microphone at the teacher´s table preferred to stay in class and make use of it.

She connected the microphone to the speakers and started to sing passionately. Suddenly all the children came back into the classroom and began dancing and clapping their hands.

They all recognised Carrie´s talent, and she realised how special she was because of her voice. From that day on, everybody wanted her to sing at break time, because she was number one.

One day, Jamie went to Annie´s house, one of his musician friends and when he was walking through the park, a little insect got inside his trunk.

Jamie could not stop sneezing and asked for help because he was scared that he wouldn’t be able to play the trumpet again.

A little bird resting in a branch of a tree saw him, and ran to help him.  – “Hello elephant, what´s wrong?” – asked the little bird. – “Well… I have a… a….an insect inside…my trunk…and he doesn’t want to come out”.

The little bird flew on to Jamie´s trunk, put his beak inside it and took out the insect. “Thank you so much little bird, now I can still play the trumpet with my friends” – said Jamie.

At that moment, the elephant realised how important was to enjoy time with his friends. Now he is studying at a university, and so doesn’t have much time to play the trumpet, but he still visits his friends when he can, and enjoys every second with them.

One day, Jonas was recording a new song in his music room when a strange noise sounded from one of the new loud speakers.

Jonas didn’t think much about it and continued tuning his instruments for his new song.

But after a few minutes he heard the noise again. “It seems like there is someone inside the loud speaker” – thought Jonas. So he checked the loud speakers but didn´t find anything and so continued working.

He continued to compose his song, for a long time in the quiet of his room, but suddenly he heard the noise again! This time louder and he saw a tongue coming out of the loud speaker! He knew for sure there was somebody inside.

Jonas then made a plan to catch whoever was hiding inside the loud speaker. He sat beside it and played his instruments. When the noise sounded again, Jonas grabbed the tongue and pulled it.

“Got you!”- shouted Jonas, but he could not believe was he saw. “It’s an elf!” – shouted Jonas very scared when the magical creature came out of the loud speaker.

Jonas asked in surprise, “What are you doing inside my speaker?”

“It´s a long story,” – said the green elf – “I was in a band a long time ago, I was the famous elf drummer, but one day we had an argument and the band broke up. I was really depressed, so I went into the loud speaker to forget about it. The noise you heard was my sobbing, I have been crying for years but nothing has changed”.

“You have spent too much time crying inside the speaker, but don´t worry, I have a good idea” – said Jonas – “I have composed electronic music, but I was thinking of putting a band together, so you can be my drummer!“.

The magic creature was very happy, he had found a new friend who had taught him how to enjoy life without sinking into gloom when something goes wrong.

Jonas and the elf became a famous band that toured the world for many years, and they became the best of friends forever.
