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. ‘at Carolina Eriquez Flores (3° SO 8) raurg: Emanuel Angulo Ajata (1® ESOC) WHY DO PEOPLE CRY? 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. ‘et abel Hortelano(3° ESO B) Sinners of Segovia. A long time ago in the land of the gods lived the Godof gods.

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.

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.

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.
