The story of
How eTwinning
Came To Life

THE LAND OF "E" (SPAIN)
Once upon a time, there was a little being. It did not have a name, an Ethnic group, a colour or a shape.
It wandered through space and time just Enjoying being Little Being, and time went by smoothly until one particular day Little Being landed on an Especially Estranged Enclosure. It was what seemed to be the Entertaining land of E, also known to many as the land of España!
.
Since this was the very first time that Little Being had found something meaningful in its existence, it decided to look around and see if it could maybe learn how to belong to that world.
In España, Everybody was very smart but Little Being didn´t know anything about that. It was considered strange, as Everybody around it was different. This was how it first Experienced the feeling of not being Equal!
Little Being had never tasted any food before, but in España it found an Enormous Exhibition of Exquisite ‘Ensaimadas de Mallorca’, a typical pastry from España! Excited about the Experience, Little Being decided to have a go and Embrace the new Exotic taste, but people around it looked at it Evilly because of the way Little Being was Eating it.
Thankfully, Eager Enthusiastic Elena, a girl from Seville, came to the rescue with Enthusiasm and Explained to Little Being how to eat the Ensaimada in an Elegant way. From that very moment, they became best friends!
Eager Elena decided that she wanted to End with all the Envy and Egoism that was so Evident in the World of E and that way she would also Expect to help Little Being to learn about Excitement and Empathy instead. She really liked her city and the food, she also knew how to dance the Ethnic ‘sevillanas’ of España and she couldn´t think of a better way to Enrich Little Being's Experiences in the world of E´s than the two of them Embracing the dance together.
Little Being started to feel Entertained and Excited about España and this new Enjoyable feeling, and it walked around, curious about what Else it would find.
On the way around España, it met Eduardo. He was a very Eloquent chap, who loved Everything about Electricity. Eduardo was Euphoric to Educate Little Being about Electricity, and so he decided to teach Little Being what Electricity was by Exploring some Electrical experiments. But trying to Execute the Experiment itself, poor Little Being got Electrocuted!
Little Being learnt a lesson, it learnt to listen to others to be able to learn from the unknown!
Little Being was Extremely Exhausted after all the Entertainment in the world of E and without much further ado, it decided to Explore its feelings by sitting down and Enjoying this special time on its own.
It put its thoughts together.
Excitement, Exploring, Elegance, Entertainment, Electricity, Envy, Empathy.
And off it went again to the world of no space and no time. Enjoying ... being ...
Until one day...

THE LAND OF "T" (SLOVENIA)
One day Time Took its Toll! And on That day Little Being arrived in a land with the strange shape of a T!
There were Totally new Things in the land of T´s and Little Being suddenly found... a Tin with a Tangible Treasure map in it.
Tempted and Thoughtful, Little Being decided to follow the directions on the mysterious Treasure map.
Little Being Took the Twisted Train and on the Train it met Tina the Turtle. They drank Tea Together and Talked about the Things Little Being had learnt in the world of E´s.
Tina Took notes about Empathy, Excitement and other emerging experiences and thought she would Talk about Them to her T fellows next Tuesday!
They stopped in the Tiny Town of Tintilinti, and Travelled through the Land of T for about Ten days.
Little Being was Thankful for the Time Tina Took to Take it around but it remembered that it had a Task to complete! So, it Told Tina it had a Treasure to find and They went their separate ways from There...
The Tangible Treasure map had a Tiny Text at the Top, and it seemed that the Treasure was Theoretically near the Tower of Truth. But before Little Being started its Trip, it had to understand how to become a Truthful person in the world of
T´s.
There was no Teacher but rather some Tips. Little Being followed the Tips to find a really Tiny and weird steel stick There. Little Being Took it Thoughtfully, while at the same time Trusting itself and experiencing Excitement.
Taking some Time to Think, it saw that the map led it to the next clue, which was hidden under Three Trees. The clue showed it the way to a Thai restaurant where Little Being ordered Tortillas, and this Time it used its knowledge of Elegance and ate them feeling Totally Thankful.
But the tortillas contained something Tremendously suspicious. It was something Tricky to taste. It was ... another Tiny steel stick! Little Being was very confused. But it Took the Tiny stick anyway.
Little Being then Thought for Twelve seconds and, Totally unexpectedly, a Turquoise Tarantula came up and handed it a Tacky Tee-shirt. But it wasn't just some ordinary Tee-shirt. It had a new Tip inside! It was another Tiny steel stick!
Little Being kind of got used to all these Tricky crazy Things happening, so it just Took its newly acquired Tokens and continued Through the land of Tintilinti. Thoughtful, Thankful and Tempted Towards the Tower of Truth where the Treasure was supposed to be!
There was some Tricky Truth to be learnt Though. There was no Treasure around the Tower of Truth and the Tower itself was locked. There was, however, some Transcript written on the door: “Only music can open me”. So although it was Tired, Little Being stopped for a while, looked at the Three sticks it had and... it occurred to him!
Little Being created a Tiny Triangle out of those Three sticks, it Touched it to make a sound and the doors... opened! On the other side there was a portal to the land of W.
Little Being was Thankful for experiencing Time with Tina the Turtle, for learning about Truth and Treasures, for the Tortillas and the Tee-shirt it got from the Tarantula.
How fantastic life was becoming through all these new experiences and learning and how Tempting Travelling back to the world of E´s and T´s was!
But Little Being was desperate
to find the Treasure
and it was sure to find it
in the world of W´s

THE LAND OF "W" (GREECE)
Little Being picked up the three sticks and placed them in its pocket. Without thinking twice, it stepped through the door to find the land of W.
It found itself on a Winding road surrounded by Whole new breathtaking scenery. To its left there was the crystal clear sea, whilst to the right stretched a Wonderful olive green Wood.
Squinting its eyes, it spotted a Wee little girl in the distance. She was sitting on the White sandy beach, gazing at the blue sea. Little Being came close to the girl.
“Excuse me, what is this place?” it asked in a gentle voice.
“Hi!” replied the Wee girl who was enjoying a slice of a mouth-Watering red and green fruit.
She split her fruit into two and offered Little Being some.
“Here!” she said. “Have some Watermelon. But be careful with the seeds! If you swallow them, they might get stuck into your throat.”
“Thanks for giving me half your fruit” it said.
“I like to share my things” replied the girl. “Sharing is fun”
Little Being had never thought that sharing was fun. Looking back on its past, it remembered how kind the people in España had been to it. Yes, it had experienced the joy of sharing before but now it was all clearer to him.
All of a sudden, the earth started to quake, the sea became rough and a giant Wave splashed on the girl and on Little Being. A massive Whale emerged out of the water.
“I can hear you’re having a Whale of a time!” the Whale said.
“Hello, Wise Whale” the girl replied.
The Whale came closer to Little Being and she gave it a White shell. “Welcome to Wonderland!” she said in a soft kind voice. “This is my gift for you. Use it Wisely!”
Little Being took the shell in its hand. On the shell it read the Word “Wishes”. It held it tight on its chest. It felt really lucky! “I really like being here. I don’t feel different” said Little Being.
“Different? You’re in Wonderland.
Here everyone is different. In their own special way” said the girl in a kind, friendly voice.
Little Being remembered all the adventures it had had, the world of W was Weird and Wonderful, it was once again Thankful as it learned about the Wonder of Wishes, and Sharing.
Looking back, it had now a Wide range of Experiences: Empathy, Truths and Wishes were some of the amazing new feelings it was able to recount. Life was so full of joy!
And suddenly, the feeling of Wishing came Widely in its thoughts.
Where was the treasure gone??...
Exhausted as it was,
Little Being
fell into a deep sleep...

THE LAND OF "I" (SLOVAKIA)
With a sudden Itch, It woke up... and Little Being found Itself in the world of I. There was an Indicative Isolated sign with the name of Itiva on It. The Indication pointed to the North of the country. There was an Incredible Icy Igloo and Little Being decided to Initiate Its Investigations and hopefully find the treasure In there!
It had to move on In Its quest to find the treasure. So It decided to travel to other places, using its experiences on Sharing and Truths and Wonders and Wishes to meet new beings and tell them all about It! Little Being had accumulated an Inventive Imagination by now, and It knew that when you follow your dreams, they can become true Indeed!
Little Being decided to build an Imaginative Ingenious Interstellar ship. After a few days, the starship was completed. Immediately, It took some food from the world of I, some famous Icy Ice cream and then It got into the starship. It travelled in space for days, months...
But It didn't find the treasure anywhere.
One day, when It woke up, It found out that Its starship had landed on the planet Icee. Little Being decided to Investigate the planet. When It got out of the ship, It didn't see any animals, but some strange creatures. They were Identical Iguanas.
Little Being tried to make friends with them, but they didn't want to be Its friends. Little Being wasn't from their planet, so the Identical Iguanas started making fun of It.
Little Being was very sad.
Luckily, Inclusive Iguana came to help. His name was Ivan the Inclusive Iguana. Little Being found out that they had a lot In common. Mr Ivan was complaining that the other Iguanas were laughing at him and didn't want to be his friends because of his middle name, Inclusive.
Yes, it knew It was not a common name in the World of I , but hey! It was nice to be different from others. Little Being and Ivan became really good friends.
One day, the other Identical Iguanas started observing the two of them, how they laughed and how happy they were. So they decided they wanted to be friends with them. The Iguanas apologized to Little Being for not being kind to It. It forgave them for as long as they accepted to be Inclusive at all times.
After some Idyllic time in Icee World, Little Being remembered the Importance of finding the treasure!
It was so sad that It had to leave Its friends, particularly Its best friend Ivan, but yet It had learnt a lot about Inclusion and It had eaten so much Ice cream that It was ready to go.
Ivan and the Identical Iguanas (now also known as Identical Inclusive Iguanas) waved an Immense Goodbye.
And suddenly, with the power of Intention, Little Being found Itself in the world of Navi.
But this is another story...

THE WORLD OF "N" (FRANCE)
So Little Being arrived in a whole new place. It had a Novelty shape. It was the land of N, also known as the World of Navi.
Nevertheless, In Navi everything was Nebulous, dark, cold and scary. Little Being thought how difficult it would be to find the treasure in there!
Little Being saw many little cubes in the distance. It decided to go there and see what they were. Were they houses???
Once it was Near them, it Noticed Nervously that in Navi there were some Nameless Cubes. Little Being looked at one of the cubes' sides. There was a door... It could read “For you” on it. Not knowing what to make of this, Little Being went in.
There was Nothing inside but a Normal bed. Little Being looked through the window but it didn’t understand why this Nameless cube was separated from the other cubes Nearby. It felt Neglected, Non-important and almost Non-existent compared to the rest of the cubes again!
But before going to bed to have a rest, it went outside to have a better look at what was around it, hoping to understand a bit more where it was. It was just curious to discover a bit more about the place it would have to blend in this time!
What it saw was distressing: there was No one, No sun, No heat, No Noise, No flowers, No trees. Was the world of Navi the world of NOTHING? It felt lonely and lost! It Needed a friend, someone to talk to! It Needed to feel included!
That’s why it decided to push its cube to get closer to the other ones! So it tried and tried and tried again, but with No success. Its cube Never moved an inch! Little Being felt so sad and disappointed! Nothing made sense.
Suddenly, Little Being remembered the magic shell the whale had given it in Wonderland. So it took it out of its pocket and held it tight, wishing with all its heart not to be alone anymore.
It used its knowledge of Encouragement, Trust, Wisdom and Intention, and suddenly It turned its head to the right and noticed another isolated cube, and inside it, there was another Being but it was, it was, it was so Naturally Green!!!!!
Little Being joined it and asked: “Hi! Are you alone too? What’s your name?”
Mr Naturally Green answered: “Yes, I am; so I was Never given a Name. This is a land of Nerds, but none of them has ever given me a Name.”
As they were talking and getting to know each other, they Noticed that their cubes were moving towards each other!!!
All of a sudden, Little Being understood how it worked in the World of Navi: its inhabitants Needed to talk and accept their differences in order to gather together. In fact, they didn’t Need to push their houses towards the others, No physical strength was Necessary. They only Needed to communicate and want to discover New things, New cultures, New relationships and for all that No book is Necessary!
Little Being had learnt about Nerds and Nameless cubes. In the World of Navi things were rather New! And it was that Novelty feeling that suddenly made it feel Nearer than ever to the treasure...
Never say Never ...
Treasure I´m coming!

THE WORLD OF "N" (FRANCE)
It was funny how, from a distance, the cubes together looked like a Nest! Little Being and Mr Naturally Green stopped, wondering where a Noisy Noise was coming from. That was a voice ...
This voice was coming from behind a Nest. They decided to take a look. You’ll never believe what they saw.
They were face to face with another being who was different! He was... orange!!!
