A day like any other day, Ricky woke up and went to have a bath before being one hour in front of the mirror as usually; to go to see his friends.

-“Hi guys! How are you?” – Said Lily happily.

Ricky thought to himself: “They are so badly dressed; Lily always wearing Lilac clothes! and…oh…that fatty Roky sloppy with his beige shirt, even if he thinks is white…”

– ” Are we going to the party tonight?” – asked Roky.

– “No way, Roky” – said Ricky.

– “Why not?” – asked Lily without knowing what was Ricky thinking about.

– “I don´t tolerare it any more, you are always badly dressed, cheap…”

– “But that is how we dress”.

– “I know, but you can listen to my advices, like…why don´t you change your shirt! You keep saying is white although it´s clearly beige due to the dirt”.

– “That again?, Roky, how can you let him offend you like that?”

-“I have some suggestions for you too, Lily; Why are you always wearing lilac clothes? Can you not be more sophisticated?”

-“…Roky, let´s go! leave him alone!” – Lily Shouted.

Later, at the party…

– “Roky look! is Ricky…”

– “But he said he was not coming”.

– “I know, but, look who is with him!”

– “Oh! Lion and his long mane, with Panther and Tiger with his deep look!”.

– “Hello to everyone!so nice you came, Ricky” – Said Roky.

– “Excuse me, who are you?” – said the Lion rustling his long mane on Roke´s face.

– “What are you doing talking to them?”

-“Oh!Look who came, the rabbit girl!” – said Panther

-“They are Ricky´s friends” – Said Tiger

-“Ricky…are Tiger and Panther right? Are they your friends? because if they are…” – asked Lion

-“Of course not!I don´t even know them, friend of those animals?..” – replied Ricky.

– “Let´s go out of here” – Said Lily to Roky.

Everything is not bright and now it was Ricky´s turn:

– “Ricky! bring my green leaves juice!”

-“Yes Lion, Immediately”- Said Ricky.

– “And we want two lemon juices and nuts!” – said Panther and Tiger.

– “What?”

– “Oh..are you deaf now?…NUTS!! Haven´t you collected enough?”

-“But..I took them for me…” – said Ricky.

-“Forget it, nothing is yours from now on, everything will be ours!Do you understand?”

Ricky went panting to prepare everything to the kitchen.

All the days were the same, days passed, and one day they asked Ricky to burn his friends´clothes. He did it, but Lily´s house was burned accidentally.

-“Wow! you are more evil than us” – Lion said.

– “Lion…that was not my intention, you ordered to me”

– “No…you did it…Didn´t he, guys?”

– “No, it´s also your fault, so, you are going to help me to reconstruct Lily´s house”

– “Haha! don´t you dare to say that we ordered you to do it”.

-“And…who treated those guys badly?”

-“Ricky” – said Panther.

-“Yesss” – said the lion.

– “THAT IS ENOUGH!YOU ARE THE WORST! – threw the tray with all the drinks on, hitting the lion´s leg.

– “ROAR!” Do something!” – roared the Lion, the panther and the tiger tried to calm his pain.

Once at home, he began to pack his suitcase to go far far away. Was moving all his things and suddenly a little porcelain figure, that Lily had given him for his birthday, fell down. He remembered Lily´s words:

“A broken porcelain is like a broken friendship. There are two options, try to paste the pieces, or throw them away. But you have to know that if you paste them, nobody will admire it, because is damaged and looks ugly”

-“If I throw it up, I will loose it forever!…these are the consequences of my actions…”

With this words in his head, he knew that his friendship was already lost.

Left a note apologizing to his two friends, Lily and Roky, too late, maybe, but at least he did it…and at the end of the note wrote that his house was now Lily´s house.

And the evil Lion, Tiger and Panther were expelled from the forest due to Ricky and other animals´statement.

This is the story of Lily, the lying ant…

Lily the ant is queen of the biggest ant´s nest in the region and today was her birthday. She had organized a festival to celebrate it, a big party where ants came from all around the world to attend.

There were red ants, black ants, weaver ants, leaf cutter ants from South America, and even the strange but friendly crazy ants. They were all there in the big hall, eating and drinking non-stop and they had all brought presents for Lily. It was at that moment when, Lily ant, seeing her friends there altogether, stood on the hall platform and thanked them for coming fro all over the world, and then said:

– “Sisters, I want to tell you my great feat and the reason why I´m now the greatest queen of all ants”

All the ants pricked up their antennas and listened the queen´s words.

-“One sunny afternoon” – said Lily – “when, walking through the leafy and green forest I met a huge and angry buffalo who, proud of his strength, wanted to fight me, but I punched him first and fractured his big jaw. The poor buffalo left crying while I left singing happily. I am Lily, the bravest ant in the forest, everybody fears me and nobody faces me!”

– “Oh! you are the best” – said the weaver ants – “but not the fiercest” – replied the leaf cutter from South America.

-“My fame…” – continued Lily – “has grown so much since then that, one morning during breakfast, a big tiger screamed at me:

Come here brave ant! Everybody in the forest fears you and nobody faces you! 

That´s right! – I said, and I  kicked him and knocked him down.

I am the bravest ant in the forest, everybody fears me and nobody faces me!” – She continued by saying – “I fought against an elephant, a polar bear, the furious lion and even against tanks of war, but I pushed them all into the water with my little legs. Once in the sea, a shark wanted to eat me, but I bit him and broke his fin.”

Suddenly, there was a big noise in the ant´s nest and a huge red beetle appeared. – “Lily, the ant!” – said the huge insect – “Let´s see if you are as brave as you say, fight with me.”

But Lily was shocked and trembled with fear. She said:

“Dear ants, nobody should lie, as things can go bad for liars. I´m a normal ant. I can´t even pursue a flea. I could die from a frog’s breath.”

At that moment that the beetle said: “I just wanted you to tell the truth.” – And then, he left.

The girl´s walk was awesome, she was enjoying nature, contemplating the landscape, the forest, appreciating environmentalism, she felt like she was in a magic place without any negative feelings.

Two more drops touched her face and they were friendship and respect. She realized that she could also learn these values at school.  She could learn the value of respect by respecting her teachers and schoolmates, and by fulfilling her obligations at school such as doing homework and supporting her classmates.

The girl was pleased with everything she was learning. She understood that friendship is essential in life and that it is important to take care of your friends, to respect and love them, and to understand and support them.

Humility and honesty were the next moral rain drops dropping onto the girl. It is very important to understand these values for if somebody doesn´t have these values they won’t be a good person. Not lying, not stealing and not lying to yourself, are some of the characteristics of these human values.

Suddenly it started to rain hard. She smiled, happy to be learning the lessons of God with his message captured in the magic drops. She learnt that the love of one’s neighbour begins by understanding the love of God and that it is important to honor and respect our parents, family and friends, to be generous, supportive and kind, and to help without expecting anything in return. Only in this way can society be more humanitarian and be more understanding of moral values.

They all wanted to support him. Every morning lots of volunteers were at the door of his castle waiting to help him and so he was never alone as he always had someone to do things for him.

One day the ghosts asked Ghosty to teach them everything he knew. First they asked him to show them his scare methods, but Ghosty didn´t actually know how, because he had never done anything for himself. He just said he was tired, made an excuse and went to bed.

The next day they asked him to show them how to be elegant like him, but he did not know about that either and said: “I´m the only one that can be so elegant, so forget it” and the rest said: “Oh! He is so smart!”

Then they asked him how could they be as smart as him and he didn’t know what to say. This made Ghosty think about things and realised that if they kept asking him stuff, they would end up discovering how useless he was when nobody helped him.

So, he decided to stop lying and tell the truth: “You all think I´m the wisest of ghosts just because I´m your king, but I can´t do anything on my own because you are always helping me! So, from now on I will do everything without any help and become the king you all deserve!”

They were always playing with their ball in the fields near the house.

One of their neighbours was an old woman who took great care over her flowers and the kids parents had advised them not to play near her garden.

But when the old woman went shopping, Mathew and Nicolas took the opportunity to play in the meadows in front her house which were bigger and greener than any other.

One time Nicolas hit the ball and it broke one of the woman´s pots and the yellow flower that was in it.The kids were arguing about who’s fault it was when a lively and cute dog passed them and they had an idea.

When the old woman arrived home, the kids told them that the dog belonging to her neighbour who lived in the house opposite, Matilde, had broken her pot. This made the old woman unhappy and so Matilde´s mother decided to take the little dog back to the city as a punishment.

Matilde was very sad, because her dog was her best friend and she knew it was innocent.

Everybody knew her as “Little princess” because she was so small and cute and always smiling.

But, unfortunately, her mother died and the poor little princess became the only heir to the kingdom at 5-years old.

So, little Mely became the queen of the Kingdom. People didn´t like the idea because she was still too young but Mely was very smart. She had been with her mother during her entire reign and had learnt from her. But the most important value she had learnt was honesty.

One of the queen´s counselors wanted to take advantage of the situation and planned to discredit Mely and so disinherit her. In this way he would become King.

The adviser worked on his plan and began to speak badly of the little queen in the palace´s corridors, but Mely heard him and had an idea.

She convened all the townspeople in the main square to explain to them what the adviser was doing.

“I´m going to be a good queen. My age doesn´t matter, what matters is that I am not marred by adults politics. I will always be honest with you.  The advisor was then expelled from the Kingdom for being a traitor.  “We want honest values in our town!”

And that´s how Moly became one of the most valued queens ever, and people in town really loved her because she was nice and honest with them.

Her neck was so long that she could stretch it to reach any animal’s area and take their food.

The animals would wake up every morning with no food, but the giraffe could barely fit in her plot due to the amount of food she had eaten.

Tired of this problem, the rest of the animals made a decision. They put a sign on her door saying: “Robber giraffe”.

The next day, when the zoo opened its doors, everybody laughed at the giraffe. Children asked the lion in the plot beside why she was called a robber giraffe and the lion said: “Because she steals our food every night. She is not good.”

After a few months, nobody visited the giraffe because they knew that she was a robber and didn´t deserve a visit, so the zoo administration decided to take her to another zoo. In this way the other animals would be happy.

The giraffe made the best of it and started her new life in a new zoo being very nice with the other animals and never stole food again.

Was a very smart boy, but one day he decided to cheat in his exams to get good results that he could show to his parents.

So, he prepared cheat sheets for the next exam he was going to have and hid them in his pencil case. “I hope the teacher doesn´t catch me.” – he thought.

Everything was going well during the exam, until suddenly, the teacher asked him: “What do you have there?”.

“Nothing” – answered Mathias very embarrassed.

But the teacher knew, because Mathias was very nervous.

Mathias failed the exam, and the teacher said: “I am going to tell your parents”.

But Mathias was so embarrassed by what he had done that he begged the teacher: “Please, don´t tell my parents, I have learnt my lesson, and I won´t do it again.”

The teacher knew that Mathias was being honest, so he decided not to call his parents.

From that day on, Mathias was a responsible boy in class and studied every day.

That was her problem. She got into trouble sometimes because of her honesty. One day she wanted to capture a monster and said: “Monster! Stay still, I need to cast a spell on you and I can´t if you are moving!”.  And of course, when the monster heard this, he ran away and never came back.

That happened often to her, so it was impossible for her to capture anybody.

She was very worried about it, so one day she went to the witches castle to talk to them: “I´m not worthy of this job, I can´t be a witch”, and she started crying.

The superior witch approached her and said: “I have an idea. You are going to be our honesty trainer“.

The sincere witch didn´t understanding anything, but the superior witch continued: “You are the most sincere witch we know and that´s an important virtue. From now on, we will have a meeting with you every week and you’ll tell us how to improve our work, ok? You are going to be our trainer!”.

And so that is what she did. She was sincere with the rest of the witches in every meeting, and they all progressed positively thanks to the sincere witch.

THE END.

The moral of the story: Honesty is one of the most important human value.
