oka ;
Many years ago, a girl called Atlantic was walking on the
° forest when she saw a little rabbit. It was white and small.
s Atlantic helped the little rabbit because it was ill and took it
with her at home.
Two weeks later, the rabbit was well and every day Atlantic
took it to the forest to play together.
But winter arrived with cold and rain and the little rabbit
coudn't play in the forest and it stayed very bored in Atlantic's
home. One day, while Atlantic was at school, the rabbit
went to the forest alone.
The little rabbit didn't know the dangers of the forest.
Suddenly a big bear appeared. The rabbit tried to run away
but the terrible bear killed it.
When Atlantic arrived home and didn't see the rabbit , she
very worried. She went to the forest to search the rabbit
as she didn't find it she went on searching it everywhere -
but she couldn't find it.
Every day she approached the sea and talked with the rabbit,
like it was with her but she was so sad that she cried and
cried and the sea grew and grew and became an ocean.
One day Atlantic saw something in the water and swam to
get it but she died in the sea and never appeared
The legend says that Atlantic lives in the ocean which is
called like her with her rabbit and that is very happy

This is the story of alittle mouse who wants to fly. It didn't
understand why the gods had given such a body for its soul.
Every day it saw birds in the sky and wondered why it could
Not fly. it then became very sad and cried.
‘One day, the little mouse heard a strange noise and decided
to have a look at it. When it arrived, it saw a big bird; an eagle
which was tired and hurt. The little mouse was very surprised
because it had always thought that birds were the strongest
animals on the earth. So the little mouse started to think that
birds had also weakness but it continued to admire them
The little mouse helped the big eagle unti it was completely
recovered. The big eagle said at this time: “I owe you one!”
and the litle mouse answered: “I want to go on your back and
fly in the sky’
So, they climbed and climbed, high and high and when they
were at the highest point, their souls became only one and
their physical bodies fell to the earth and finished completely
destroyed in the crash. Then the soul came down and built
another body with pieces of the two animals. And this way
appeared the bat!
But the gods that were watching all that was happening
were very angry because they are the only ones who can
create a new animal so, they got very furious and deprived.

around them. They were simply mountains. People lived in
the valley and the gods lived in the highest part.
People were very poor; they sometimes had the necessary
to survive but sometimes they didn't have anything to éat”
However, Gods were quite rich but they didn't share their
money with humans. They prefered to use it to celebrate
parties or have fun
talk to the Gods and ask them for some money to survive.

WHY OSTRICHES HAVE GOT LONG NECKS?
Many years ago, the ostriches had very short necks.
it was a spring's day and all the ostrich families decided
to have a meeting, Sam, a young ostrich was playing
with Mary and Betty with a ball. The boy kicked the ball
so hard that it went very high and was wedged between
two branches of a tree.
“How about you carry me so | can get the ball?” asked
‘Sam to Mary. “Ok” she replied. Mary carried Betty and
Betty carried Sam. But Mary lost her balance and fell
over. So did Betty. The only lttle ostrich that didn't fall
was Sam. This was because his neck got stuck between
the two branches where the ball was.
Allthe ostriches came around the tree and every ostrich
pulled of one of Sam's legs.
While they were pulling, something very odd was
happening: Sam's neck was getting longer and longer!
Finally, Sam's neck slipped through the branches and
surprisingly it was a very long neck.
Since then, ostriches have got long necks.

Long time ago there was a city called Joy, which was
situated at the end of a long line of cities. Nobody knew of
dejection, stress, sorrow, heartbreak or any feeling other t
han bliss in this place. Everybody dreamed about living in
Joy, but it was very complicated, If you wanted to get to
this town, you had to venture through every previous city
on the line and endure every emotion they provoked.
Tear lived in Joy, She was a beloved nine-year-old gil
‘surrounded by a family and friends who took care of her.
It seemed as nothing could go wrong in her life. Unfortun
one day her mother became very sick. She suffered from
painful disease that none of the wizards in Joy could cure
The only hope for her to survive was to get a spell from
Heartbreak, the city at the other side of the line. Even though
the journey was tough and dangerous, Tear had no alternati
but to travel there if she wanted fo save her mother, and desp
the warnings of her friends, she decided on going ahead.
The journey was filled with many emotional ups-and-downs
and she became weaker with every city she reached. She wa
experiencing completely unknown emotions and had no way
torelieve the pressure they made her feel. Finally, she arrived
to Heartbreak and suddenly felt an intense pain and sense of
espair. She looked for a wizard, hoping that she could find a
‘cure for her mom's iliness and encountered Saherra, one of
e most powerful and wise men in Heartbreak. He was sorry
for the little girl and granted her with one wish.
Tear's first instinct was to wish that her mother could recover
from the disease, but then she thought about everything she
ad gone through. She could not imagine anyone having to face
that suffering. Her wish to Saherra was that all people could
have the ability to bare any emotion.
To make that possible, the wizard created droplets of water
led with emotion, and placed them in the eyes of each person. —
That is why everytime we are overwhelmed by a very strong
_ emotion, these droplets overflow from the eyes. Inhonourof
‘the brave girl who gave us the relief of crying, they are called tears.

A long time ago in the land of the gods lived the Godof
gods. He controlled both gods and humans and he kept
order on the Earth. When a person sinned he imposed a
punishment. He imposed easy punishments to persons who
had a few problems and the punishment was for example: to
help other people. He also imposed hard punishment to
unruly people, for example: to transport heavy rocks and
other materials and to build castles, towers, aqueducts...
In 1051, a man who lived in Segovia with his wife and
daughters sinned all the time, because he was a great

Different myth.
a A long time ago, when the universe was created, and Luminux, the
lord of the light, invented the Sun and the Moon, the earth was very
dark. Humans didn't find fire and the night was scary. There was
only a big light called Moon but it wasn't as lightly as the Sun.
The king of humans said to Luminux that they wanted more light
but he got angry. He said: “I decide how much light there is in the
iverse. You have all you need, Sun for the day and Moon for the
light!” And he returned home. So now many others stories tell that
eone, a hero, travelled to get light but not this, this is more
aceful. All humans protested and made demonstrations but
ays peaceful ones. Other lords saw the earth and its inhabitant
\d talked with Luminux. He's the only one who could make light.
it he was stubborn and continued with his opinion.
this moment, Nature, lady of the nature, protested too. Humans
idn't produce foods, neither nature did, so there was no food.
ile humans were protesting, Aqua, lord of the water, and natut
isband joined them. Now there wasn't water. Lords couldn't eat or
drink because human beings world was as imperfect as them.
Everybody had his function. Luminux tired, hungry and thirsty
couldn't make any light. He talked with the king of humans and told
him that they could go to the Moon and break it into other pieces of —--——
light and put them in the universe at night.
This is which he did. These smaller lights are stars, the one that
sometimes is dark because he gives the light to stars, which are
brighter.

The Gods of Olympus were going to celebrate a party with all
the Gods and goddneses. Zeus, the most important god had
to bring something too, because all the gods must bring
something to eat or drink, but he doesn’t know what because
he's not a very good cooker.
So he decided to make cookies, because they were easy to
cook. He prepared the flavour, sugar and yeast, a lot of yeast
and mixed them. Zeus didn't no _ tice that he added a lot of
yeast in the bow!. He divided the dough in portions and he put
it into the oven. The god was very tired and he decided to
sleep until the cookies were ready. He slept two or three hours
and the oven was on. When he woke up thec —ookies were
grant because of the excess of yeast and they were burned
too! He had no time to do the cokkies again so he painted
‘them with brown colour and he went to the party.
When the gods tested the cookies, they became ill, so
Athenea was very angry w ith Zeus and she broke all the
cookies in little crumbs and she threw them next to the sea.
That's why there is sand next to the sea.

to the universe. They were cyan, magenta, yellow, white,
brown, purple, green and orange.
But one day, appeared another person with powers that were
‘more powerful than the Total Warriors, the Chromatic Warrior.
He stole the colors with his black ward. “Now, the world seems
~ very sad and angry’ said the Cyan Warrior. “Now, we can't
enjoy the beauty of the spring or of the transformation of the
treetops until the arrival of the autumn. To recover the
Universe, the brave warriors met with the ancient shaman to
ask him where were the den of the evil wizard. He told thatthe
wizard lives in the Mirror Cave, which was protected by an
enormous monster.
They arrived in three days and got ready for the final battle.
The monster was a giant black lizard, attacked with his
nauseating tongue. The Pu. rple warrior cut it with his sword
and the lizard dies.
The warriors opened the gate to battle with the Chromatic
Wizard. The warriors attacked him but the wizard seems like
he was unbeatable. To finish with him, the warriors used their
final attack: the Color Burst.
The consequence of this attack was that who used it, dies.
The Chromatic wizard exploded and the colors retumed to
‘world. People were happy because their heroes restored the
colors, but also they were sad because they died to help them.
The souls of the warriors were transformed into elements of
nature. Cyan's tumed into a part of sky, White's soul into a
color, Yellow's soul into the light, Magenta’s and Purple's,
souls into a garden of flowers, Orange's into the fire,
Green's got transformed into the grass and Brown into the

the colors for everybody.aA
The origin of “Ellesmere Island”
Once upon a time, existed in the north of Groenlandia a little
family who was composed by a father, a mother and their
two sons, who were called Lilly and Marshall. Lilly and
Marshall were twins, both Lilly and Marshall were brown
with blue eyes. The father, Ted, was a hunter and the
mother Robin, cooked the food that her husband brought.
They were a happy and cute family but one day, everything
‘changed. It was March, a cold night, Ted came home from
hunting but he didn't find anything to eat. That began to be a
problem because in the last weeks he didn't find any animal
that he could hunt. He began to cry more and more and to
pry to the Gods to help him.
‘Suddenly a strange woman appeared behind him: She was
Loretta: "the Goddess of hunting”. She said to Ted “if you
give me one of your sons, you won't be hungry for the rest
of your life. Ted was very surprised, but after he thought
better and he thought it wasn't a proposition so rash, so he
accepted. Ted took Lilly and he gave her to Loretta,
promising he will recover Lilly in the future
But the years still passed and nothing changed. It was true:
Ted, Robin and Marshall never were hungry, butthey were
very sad and they cried all the days. Ted was too sorry, but
he couldn't change what had happened. He retumed to ask
for help to the Gods. And now it was Barney: "God of the
Jokes’ who went to help him. They were talking for a long
time and finally they decided to change Ted for Lilly and he
will be prisonner and Lilly will be free. But we can't forget
that Barney was the "God of Jokes” and he loves doing jokes!
So he gave back Lilly with Robin and Marshall, and Ted was
captured. But now Lilly wasn'ta girl, she was tumed into an
island and that island is now called “Esllesmere Island” and
she helps to remind us that sometimes it is too late to change
things.

There were once three nymphs called Bell, Wakana and
Otoha. Each one was represented by a different colour: Bell
was represented by orange, Otoha by yellow and Wakana by
green
They were always arguing because they loved beautiful things —
but loved differently and each one thought it was the most
beautiful.
One day, Aphrodite transformed them into daisies with theree
colors representing them. They were very happy because the
person who will pick up one of them would appoint which one
were the most beautiful, but nobody picked any one! Perhaps:
it was because they were a little bland.
Bell, Wakana and Otoha asked for forgiveness and joined
together to be more beautiful. At this time they formed a lovely
and beautiful flower with a green stem representing Wakana
and a bright red flower mixing Bell's orange and Otoha's
yellow.
In this way, was bom one of the most beautiful flower in the
