Once upon a time there was a girl called Dayane, she was very disobedient, never obeyed her mum, and her mum wanted to teach her a lesson. She punished her every time she behaved badly, but Dayana continued the same as always and didn’t care about the consequences.

She knew it was for her own good. Her mum loved her and didn´t want anything bad to happen to her, thats why she always gave her advice.

One day, Dayane woke up very early. When her mum saw her she told her to sit on a wood chair. Dayane didn´t want to, so her mom asked her to take another chair, but the rebellious girl said:

– “No!”

The chair moved and broke and she fell over. Her mom looked at her and said, “I told you” and laughed.

“See, dear daughter, I don´t ask you to do things to torment you, I tell you to do things for your own good, because I love you so much. And I´m laughing because I warned you and you ignored me. To obey is good, it is not a curse. Actually it is good, because I am showing you my love and you show me yours. If you don’t obey me I won´t know if you really love me. See what I want to do if you don´t change. As you always say, you have the obligation to do what I tell you to do, and you say it´s unfair because you have the freedom of doing what you want because you are independent and you don´t like me taking you out of danger. But if I order you to do something it is for your own good. Imagine living with a rude daughter. You wouldn’t like it when you are an adult, cooking, paying expenses, working, nobody would like you if you were like that. If you keep behaving so badly, I will have to send you to another place to study, but there, we won´t be together, we will only see each other once a week, or even less. Neither of us would like that, so, think about what are you going to do, I hope you change. I will help you to change to be a better person, if you do your part. We will work together to make you really happy, and I will be happy too if I see you doing well.”.

The girl´s eyes filled with tears because she knew that living far away would be difficult. She felt sorry and promised her mum she would change, and that she had deserved the punishment due to her bad behaviour with her mum.

From that day on, daughter and mum worked on their good manners, better education and, in short, human values that she had to learn. They lived together always and were very happy.

THE END

Moral of the Story: Always obey your parents, If you behave right, life will reward you. The love of a mother is the best in the world and we have to make the best of that love, demonstrating that we love her by obeying her.

Values of the Short Story: Obedience, love, recognising our mistakes, assuming the consequences.

Click to read:  FROG CROAKY (FIRST PART)

…One night, when all the lights were switched off, a particular dew settled on the garden, and a chorus of voices filled the air which tasted like honey.

Helen saw lights jingling as fireflies approached them, and when one of them sat on her shoulders she thought she was hearing voices whispering in her ear, but that had to be impossible. Nevertheless, a sweet and melodic sound interrupted the silence:

– “Don´t cry” it said.

The voice was now really clear. Shocked, she fell backwards to the ground and as she sat up she watched as those green and grey lights became smaller and a woman dressed in brown autumn colours appeared instead.

Tiny and shiny, the woman could fit in the palm of a hand. Helen opened her eyes, rubbed them many times, until finally, she asked what was she doing there.

The fairy introduced herself and introduced the others who were with her too. They were all very sad because they had heard Helen sobbing from their houses at the top of the trees.

The rabbit was also there and came out of his den, the squirrel too, who left her wet corner, even the snake woke up from her lethargy.

Obviously, there was quite a stir that night. Helen’s worrying had reached all their hearts. Suddenly, the fairies began to exchange knowing looks, laughs and whispers. They had come up with a plan.

One of them shook her wand and pointed it up to the sky, and an emerald green light sparkled. Then, all of them said loudly:

-“Your wish will be done!”

Croaky´s eyes opened as if by magic, blinking. Helen was shocked and excited at the same time, her cry scared all the inhabitants of the forest who jumped for joy when they found out what had happened.

Helen held Croaky in her arms and gave her the most tender of kisses. The little frog had returned from her dreamy illness, and only love, real love could have made this miracle happen.

Helen was a smiling and rebellious girl, who lived with her parents in the house they had inherited from her grandmother Martha.

She fell in love with the garden immediately, and with the lush ivy growing around the balconies and columns.

A splendid lemon tree blossomed with a hundred colours. Young fruit hung from the thin branches, grazing the green ground. There was a grey plot behind, which was where she met her for the first time.

She was sitting looking at the pasture, waiting for who knows what, with her eyes half-closed due to the incessant drizzle in the sunshine. Helen approached her carefully not to scare her too much and then hesitated:

-“Hello”

The greeting that came back was both low and high-pitched, saying “Croak“. A large smile appeared on Helen’s striking face and from that moment, she and the sweet little frog to whom she baptized “Croaky”, became inseparable friends.

After a long time of friendship and sharing the little frog became ill. Helen was worried but nobody paid attention to a girl´s caprice especially when it was just a sick frog.

They could not understand what Croaky meant to Helen. So, the girl waited for a miracle, and prayed the whole day and night crossing her hands over her chest.

Days passed but Croaky did not recover. Helen sobbed intensely with sadness in her heart and then something unexpected happened…

When the faithful white puppy called Fairy looked into your eyes, it inevitably produced a tender gesture, a funny face, and a smile.

Her brown pupils took on a honey color when the sun light was reflected on them.

They emitted such a soft captivating sparkle that you always became calm and always gave her a lot of lovely strokes.

The puppy loved her back to be scratched intensely. Her owner was also her friend and so always looked after Fairy´s needs, spending hours stroking her, just to see the look of happiness on her face.

Fairy also loved sleeping, lying on her bed of stuffing and when she whistled a fine whistle it showed that she was already asleep.

Many years passed before her owner realized that when he was near Fairy, nothing bad ever happened around him. It was because Fairy provided that magic gift which consisted of creating an atmosphere of happiness.

But later he realized that actually, all dogs that were being taken care of with lots of love produced the same effect.
