In one kingdom on our planet living in peace and harmony were Snow White and the seven dwarves.

One day, some ruffians appeared and kidnapped Snow White, leaving a note that said:

“Give us 100 million dollars If you want to see Snow White again. Signed: The Evil Witch”

When the seven dwarves arrived home they were very concerned, not just because Snow White had been kidnapped but also because nobody would cook for them, or clean the house while they were working.

So they hastily rushed to the police.  When they arrived they were sent to talk to the team which specialized in combating kidnapping. The team was made up of Little Red Riding Hood, the leader who had mental powers, Cinderella, who was responsible for team organization and computer systems and Pinocchio, who was a ninja expert in martial arts.

During the investigation, Little Red Riding Hood used her mental powers to locate the place where Snow White was locked up.

Cinderella immediately searched for the address of The Evil Witch on the internet, and located her by using a GPS system.

Meanwhile, the Evil Witch was in her castle watching their steps using her magic mirror. When she realized they were on the way to her castle, she sent her loyal assistant, Peter Pan to ambush them with a weapon and some hand grenades.

Luckily, Cinderella used her computer to introduce a virus and published a video showing a car exploding during an ambush. When the evil witch saw it she was very happy as she thought that her plan had worked and so went to relax by taking a bath, feeling very confident.

Luckily, peter Pan failed during the ambush, because “Mobilejustice”; that was the name of their armoured Hummer, had no problem passing the ambush.

When they arrived at the castle, the team couldn’t get inside, because it was closed. So, they asked Pinocchio to climb over a wall and open the door from the inside.

A big battle then started inside. The Evil Witch and her gang were winning little by little. Peter Pan reached them and began a sword battle against the brave Pinocchio. They had built a special trap for him and suddenly he fell into a hole full of termites who wanted to eat him.

Fortunately, Little Red Riding Hood stopped the termites using her mental powers, and when they were about to be defeated, a fast red Ferrari, skidding around the bends, with the music very loud, appeared. Everybody was shocked, because they couldn’t see anybody inside until the door opened and the Seven Dwarves appeared. They began to beat up those who were in the middle of the battle.

Finally, they managed to stop Peter Pan and his henchmen. Pinocchio and Little Red Riding Hood went to catch the witch, who was inside her castle, making herself pretty in front of the mirror and it was a very unpleasant moment for the witch when they arrested her.

Snow White was freed by the specialist team and thanks to the Seven Dwarves help. The team triumphed one more time and achieved their objective – to rescue Snow White.

…Without thinking about it, Boy-boy jumped into the car and Napoleon ran after him, because his friends were inside.

“Ooh, Boy-Boy” – Bubu said almost crying when he saw his friend – “The hunters have caught me, what´s going to happen to me!! I heard I was going to be sold for money. I can´t live locked up far from the jungle!”

“Don´t worry, I will free you ” – Boy-Boy said. – “I will also open the parrots and the toucans cage, and free the baby leopard too. But we have to do all of this in silence. Don´t worry Bubu, Napoleon is coming to help me”.

Boy-Boy cut the rope tied around Bubu´s legs and said: “Don´t speak and don’t move. Before we escape up the road, we need to wait until Napoleon arrives. Open the parrots and toucan´s cages. Tell them not to move and to be silent. Take care of the baby leopard and keep him calm to stop him crying”.

“Ooh!” – Bubu said – “But we are already near the road and Napoleon isn´t here, I am very scared”.

The hunters were putting up a sign saying: “Parrots, toucans and wild animals for sale”.

“Poor me..” – Bubu moaned – “I hope Napoleon arrives”.

Meanwhile, Napoleon met the mummy of the baby leopard, who was also following the hunter’s trails, and she joined Napoleon to rescue them. She knew a shortcut to reach the hunter’s cage faster.

They arrived where the illegal hunters had put up their shop, and hid.

– “Well” – said one of them – “We are ready”.

Suddenly, the mummy leopard jumped on one of the hunters from where she was hiding and Napoleon bit the other hunter´s leg. Boy-Boy shouted: “Everybody out of the cages, fly to freedom!”

The hunters were screaming and begging for help, pleading so the “beasts” would go away.

A police patrol appeared, Napoleon explained to them what the hunters had done, and the police took them and handcuffed them, because they had commit a crime. Wild animals are from the jungle and have to live freely.

Bubu and Boy-Boy ran towards the jungle and waited for mummy leopard and Napoleon in the middle of the path.

When mummy leopard arrived she hugged her baby happily, Napoleon arrived behind her and also hugged his friend Bubu with joy. Then they all went back to the jungle.

Bubu said excitedly: “Thank you friends, thank you!!! What would have become of me!” – he said – “Now I know we are more than friends, we are all for one and one for all. I love friendship!”

Our three friends lived in the jungle. They used to spend all day exploring the forest and then sleep huddled up against each other at night.

Napoleon, the dog, used to spend the day trying to catch lizards; Boy-boy, the cat, ran behind colorful butterflies, and Bubu, the badger, looked for honeycombs inside the trees and for insects on the jungle floor that he really liked to eat.

One day, they heard a strange noise. It sounded like an engine, and they also heard voices. But, who could it be? Nobody could reach that part of the jungle.

Those noises intrigued them, so they moved closer to the place where the voices were coming from and listened…

“We will be fine here! – a voice said – “It´s a good place to wait for the animals, I can see many tracks and footprints”.

Napoleon, Bubu and Boy-Boy left the place stealthily as they were afraid of being discovered. They were horrified by what they had just heard and discovered.

After recovering from their shock, Napoleon said: “How horrible! Those are illegal hunters!! I heard that they take wild cats, monkeys, parrots, toucans and other animals from the jungle, to sell them later at the edge of the road!”.

“Oops!! Thanks goodness I´m almost a pet cat and you are not in danger, Napoleon, as you are a normal dog, but Bubu is a badger, and they might want to capture him”. Then, looking at Bubu, Boy-Boy said:

“Well Bubu, we have to hide you, but not too far from us!!”

“Do not go looking for honecombs far from here! We have to stay together, this way Boy-boy and I will be able to protect you” – Napoleon said.

Then they were more relaxed and slept all together.

When daylight came, Bubu could not resist the temptation of going to look for some honey. So he went to the tree but suddenly…BAAAANG!, Bubu felt a rope around his neck and heard a terrifying voice say: “Look what I have caught! It’s a badger!”

“That is worth a lot of money, I know someone who will pay a good price for this animal”

Another voice said: “Let´s go, so we can be on the road selling our parrots, toucans, a baby leopard and this badger before midday”.

Napoleon and Boy-Boy were afraid when they noticed that Bubu had disappeared. They decided to look for him.

Napoleon smelled everything around searching for a track, while Boy-boy followed him. The track took them to the ilegal hunters campsite.

When they arrived, they heard a baby leopard crying, parrots screaming, toucans shouting and could hear the hunters putting Bubu, with his legs tied, inside the back of a car.

Without thinking about it, Boy-boy jumped into the car and Napoleon ran after him, because his friends were inside.

Once upon a time…

There was a golf club called Golfy, who played golf every day on a golf links made precisely to practice this sport on the outskirt of the city.

The golf club was a marvellous golf player. He always won competitions and golf tournaments.

Well…actually, not always…because one day, a new tree appeared on the golf links, called Little Tree, and this tree really liked golf balls, and used to keep them by hanging them from his own branches at Christmas.

The golf links groundsman really liked this tree, so Little Tree became the golf links mascot.

Golfy, the golf club got very annoyed when he found out who was the mascot, because Little Tree always kept Golfy´s balls so in the end Golfy couldn´t play any more golf.

When December arrived, Golfy bought Christmas baubles for Little Tree, so he could hang them from his branches and so not keep the Golfy’s golf balls or annoy him any more. But Little Tree only liked golf balls.

So, Little Tree hung all the golf balls he had on his own branches and became an amazing Christmas tree.

Golfy didn´t know what to do, so he decided to strike a deal with Little Tree. He said, “Hi, Little Tree, you took away all my golf balls, I can see them hanging from your branches and I need them to play golf. Could you give them back to me? I will give you these nice Christmas baubles in exchange”.

The Christmas tree replied: “Golfy! Don´t try to trick me, golf balls are more beautiful than those bright, shiny Christmas baubles”.

Then, Golfy had a great idea. He decided to paint the Christmas baubles like golf balls, that is to say, white and with small holes.

He went back to visit Little Tree and said, “Little Tree, look, I am going to give you these Christmas baubles that look just like golf balls. This way you can enjoy your ornaments and also give me back my golf balls so I can continue playing golf. What do you think?”.

Little Tree thought about it and realized that in this way, both of them would come out winners and he also realised that he had been selfish and shouldn´t have made Golfy angry.

Especially, he thought, during Christmas because is time to think of others and not only of yourself.

– “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.

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.

It was the first day of the holidays, and Peter was in his bed, feeling lazy, and not knowing what to do.

He had really wanted school to finish, but now it had, he did not know what to do. He reluctantly got up, because it was the fifth time his mum had called him.

He had breakfast and then sat down in the living room to play with his games console.

-“Peter! You are not going to stay the whole day here playing with your video games! Go out and play with your friends!!!”

Peter went to the park looking for his friends. but did not find anybody.

-“Ugh!!! what a bore!!!”

He sat on a bench beside Mr. Jordan´s Kiosk where he used to buy his sweets. The old man realized Peter was really bored and said:

-“Do you know what, Peter? I would like to have an assistant during the holidays. Would you like to come here every day and help me for a while? I am old and I need a rest”.

Peter´s eyes sparkled. He said to Mr. Jordan:

-“Do you really want me to help you in the kiosk? It would be amazing to stay here with all the amount of sweets and candies here…!!

-“Well, you will be able to choose a different one every night”. – Mr. Jordan said.

Peter had so much fun that day, and every day after during his holidays. His mum did not have to insist on waking Peter up again.

His was a different but great summer.

Adele was a small and lonely cloud. She had no friends and was not able of taking up water for some time, and of giving water either.

The other clouds did not want her being near, because she could not help them anymore, every time Adele tried to reach them the rest became so angry causing a big storm.

Vince, the wind, did not want to move her from one place to another, because did not want to waste his strengths with such a scrawny cloud.

She was always at the same place without moving, what annoyed Julius the sun, besides that she was covering the bald mountains.

Adele did not know what happened to her, as everybody ignored her, she could not ask anyone. She had tried to talk to her mates, the other clouds; but every time she approached them, they pushed her away.

One night, Adele decided to talk to the moon, who was considered the most wise in the firmament. She told her everything, and the moon said:

– “You are sad and crestfallen because you are not able of doing your task as a cloud, as well as you have no friends, are alone and solitude is not good for anyone. I would also feel alone if the stars were not with me every night, and my light would not be so bright. I think you have to make a big effort helping your friends to demonstrate them that you are looking forward to work as they do, I am sure that if you really try it, will finally take lots of water and will be able of working with your friends who I am sure, will accept you”.

- “That is the only think I want, to be useful and have friends”.

– “think how important is the work of the clouds. You carry water to drink, for irrigatimg the fields, to fill wells and rivers, clean mountains…water is a lacking and essential resource, and human need it more than anything to live. Don´t worry about having friends, good friends come when you least expect it, and stay with you if you need them”.

– “Thanks for helping me, Moon, tomorrow, I will make a big effort to do my job, will try to give the water I have to a needed place and then will begin a new cycle of loading a unloading water. I won´t be discouraged again, I want to be a good cloud!”.

The next morning, Adele woke up very happy and optimistic.

-“I am going to unload the water I have, but I need Vince´s help”.

Called Vince to ask him for help to make her task.

Vince made fun of Adele at the beginning, but after seeing her so convinced looking forward to work, decided to help her.

Vince began blowing and Adele moved softly through the sky, searching for some place where the water was needed.

Passed over a dry river, full of stones and branches, wanted to send her water there, but Vince convinced her not to do it, because the water she was carrying was not enough and would not help at all.

Kept moving, passed over a small desert, but Vince explained her again that was not a good idea.

Suddenly, stopped over a farm, where a girl was whispering to a dry and skinny plant:

– “Little plant, I am really sorry, but I don´t have water for you, the wells around are dry for some time now, and there is no water for watering. We just have a small amount to drink”.

Adele heard the girl and did not hesitate to help her. Approached a well near the house and gave her all the water. The girl was very happy, took a bucket, filled it and gave water to her little plant.

Adela was weak and empty, but the girl´s happiness gave her strength to find a place to take more water and give it to the girl again.

Adele and the girl became very good friends since then.

Adela stayed around that place forever, sharing her water, never felt useless again, and had so many friends, kids and not so kids, who told her stories and invited her to their parties as she was one more in the family.

The clouds in trouble used to visit her for advice, and Adele was always there listening and helping.

And that is the end of the story…

Toto was a nine year old boy, who really liked going to class because besides learning lots of things from different subjects, he could play with his friends.

His grandfather John was always taking him to school by the hand to protect him, because they had to cross a few streets where the cars used to go through very fast.

One day, going back home coming from school, they were about to cross one of the streets, when a car went through without respecting the zebra crossing and almost hit them.

Toto and his grandfather had a big fright, the car almost ran over them and the driver did not even stop to check if they were right.

The kid thought that he had to do something, because he had noticed that the cars did not use to respect the zebra crossing nor the speed limits.

Toto had a brilliant idea, he proposed to his teacher to make a road safety education week at school. He knew that the plan he had designed was going to work, and so, the inhabitants in town would be more safe walking around.

Each child had to choose a traffic sign and learn its meaning; then had to explain them at home so their parents helped them and learnt the lesson at the same time.

The last day of the week, the children got dressed up as a traffic sign, and walked  all around the village teaching the meaning of the traffic signs and how important is to respect them to make the streets more safe.

The village was really surprised and happy for Toto´s idea. The inhabitants of the village remembered that lesson every time they drove a car, and always respected the traffic signs, and the local government put the traffic signs that were missing.
