Apart from her unusual thoughts, for a 9 year old girl, Carme was always very nice. She shared everything she did not need with the kids that had less than her. One day Carme decided to go out and explore the surroundings. She walked from her house, near the Old Bridge, to the upper side of Manresa, where all the rich people lived. While she was walking, she started to see the difference between the upper side and the lower side of the city. She realized how rich some people were and how poor the others were. While she was walking, she also saw that the rich people earned a lot more money than the rest of the population. Then, she started to cry. Carme sat on a bank and stopped herself from crying. She dried her tears and started thinking about what she could do to solve the problem in

We need you to divert water from Balsareny to Manresa for us to drink. -Okay we could do this, but it won’t be easy, we will need a lot of help from the residents of Manresa. -I’m sure that won’t be a problem And that is how the residents of Manresa came to have water and they now live healthily and happily.

He used to have dangerous adventures so that he could be scared, but even swimming with sharks wasn’t frightening for him. One day, the teacher told them that she had an announcement. Another boy was going to join Peter´s class. He felt really excited because he hadn’t seen anyone new since the day he arrived. The days started passing, and his curiosity started to grow. Eventually, the day came. He was in his Spanish class, when suddenly another teacher interrupted the lesson to present the new classmate. - Hi, my name is Louis, I’m 12 years old and I’m from Salou.

Suddenly, a very big white eagle, with a very open beak was going very fast straight towards the rabbit to bite him. - Iaa, Iaa. Drummy, shivered of fear and shouted: - Ashley, Ashley, please come! When the eagle was about to eat him, Ashley arrived and she hit it with a broom. The eagle escaped frightened and Ashley hugged the rabbit. Now that Ashley was at home the

The Banyoles’ monster

O

nce upon a time, in the year 2016 there was a city called Banyoles were a terrible

dragon swam in the depth of the lake and everybody was afraid of him. Thunder, the dragon, had black scales and red spikes that could kill someone with only touching him, and he spouted flames everywhere all the time. The habitants of the town were scared because they knew they could die one night in the dark caves of the dragon. And because of that, everyday trucks full of pigs and sheep were brought to the monster, who ate them all. The


reason why they did this was to keep the dragon away from the village. Although this worked very well, one day the mayor found out that the truck was empty and there were no animals left. After that he organized a meeting to explain to the population what was happening with the monster. All the people thought that the best idea was to capture him and send him far away. That night the monster kidnapped a family and the next day everyone thought that they were dead, but somewhere in the middle of the mountains of Banyoles, the family was safe and happy, speaking with the monster. Meanwhile all the ladies in the town were sewing a big net so they

could

capture

the

dragon

helicopters that were offered to help.

with

two


The next day everything was ready, the net was sewed and the people who had to capture the monster were prepared. The helicopters flew

above the town and they went to the entrance of the cave. Once they were there, they threw some sheep and waited until the monster came out.


When the dragon was almost out, the family went to the entrance of the cave and tried to stop the people that were there trying to capture Thunder.

Thanks to the family that stayed with the monster for a few hours and found out the truth about him. They were able to explain to the whole population of Banyoles that he was a vegetarian and he loved people’s attention. And with this they convinced everyone of the innocence of the dragon.


THE END


Moral of the story The moral of the tale is that you never have to judge someone by their appearance without knowing him/her and it is related to the human right number 3

Suddenly, Mr Swallow passed by and said: - Oh, my little hummingbird, you are so beautiful today! Do you want to marry me? For you, I’m single all my days! - Mmm… You have a very small beak; you won’t bring much for me to eat. Then, also passed Mr Parrot with his coloured wings and said: - Oh, my little hummingbird, you are so beautiful today! Do you want to marry me? For you, I’m single all my days! - I don’t know, you have a very cute beak but your voice…You are very annoying!!! Mr Hummingbird passed and said: - Oh, my little hummingbird, you are so beautiful today! Do you want to marry me? For you, I’m single all my days!


- Mrs Hummingbird, I’m sorry but I will never be your wife, you are so small and it seems like you aren’t very strong, so if someone attacks me you won’t save me. Claire, continued flying until she found Mr Duck. He stood in front of her and said: - Oh, my little hummingbird, you are so beautiful today! Do you want to marry me? For you I’m single all my days! - Let me hear your voice. - Quack quack quack… - Oh please… stop!!! If you continue, I’m going to go deaf. After rejecting the Duck, Mr Crow passed by: - Oh, my little hummingbird, you are so beautiful today! Do you want to marry me? For you I’m single all my days!


- Ooh Mr Crow, I don’t like you, you’re so dark. I need a happy and colourful life.

Claire continued her walk when suddenly Mr Eagle passed by and thought: Mmm.. This little hummingbird is so beautiful, and she seems very delicious. I’m going to try to deceive her. - Then, Mr Eagle, very confidently, approached her, and said:


- Oh, my little hummingbird, you are so beautiful today! Do you want to marry me? For you I’m single all my days! - Wow Mr Eagle, your beak is really elegant, and you are such a strong bird… Of course I want to marry you!!!

- It was easier than I thought… He whispered. - Sorry? What did you say?


- Oh nothing, nothing important. I was only thinking about your beauty, but this, is very natural. - Oh thank you, you are so handsome too. But not everything is like it seems, because what Mr Eagle really wanted is to eat her. So, when she least expected it, the Eagle tried to attack her. But, he never got it because suddenly Mr Hummingbird appears in the perfect time to stop it. Mr Hummingbird compared with the Eagle was really small, but with his agility and intelligence he could win him. - Mr Hummingbird!!! You are so brave, I will be thank to you all my whole life! - No problem. But you don’t have to judge by the appearance.


- You are right! I mustn’t do it again. Do you still to marry me? - I always truly love you. - So... The answer is yes? - Of course.

THE END


Moral of the story The moral of this tale is that you don’t have to judge by the appearance and don’t discriminate or treat another person only because is different than you. We can relate this story with the first article of the Declaration of Human Rights and this article says that: We all have our own thoughts and ideas. We should all be treated in the same way.
