The Girl and The Stone Statue

It was a rainy day. Ema was crying. She failed her exams. 

Even though it was raining, she decided to take a walk. Once she was in the city, she saw a statue.

Weirdly, it wasn’t raining on the statue, there was the sun shining on it. 

The girl walked up to it and touched it. 

Ema made a wish. 

She closed her eyes, but she opened 

them very quickly when she heard a gasp. 

I want to be smarter and have more knowledge

She saw the statue come to life. 

The statue, now a human, 

slightly smiled and touched her 

forehead. When their skin collided, 

a spark shone from it. 

The statue turned 

away from her and turned 

to stone again.

When

Ema went 

back 

home, 

she went to study 

but quickly 

realized that she knows

everything. 

'The true sign of 

intelligence 

is not knowledge 

but imagination.'

Maybe I can try to go to the football training.

One day he went on the try-out of a team. The coaches kicked him out because he didn't have legs and couldn't play.

One day his parents decided to make a video about what their son was going through and uploaded it on social media. 

The video became viral and a lot of people around the world donated money, so that Nick could have artificial legs. Nick's parents got enough money to afford the operation.

                     The Clumsy Witch

Once upon a time there was a witch. She was flying over a girl's roof. The witch was laughing clumsily. She had stolen something. The girl watched her with her drone. She went into a scary forest and took out a rare ring from the sack she was carrying. She looked at the ring and said: 'Sesame open!' Then a big castle appeared and she asked the guard to open the door. She went inside and asked for the queen. After a lot of talking the witch gave the ring to the queen and she gave her three diamonds in return. They shook hands and the witch left.  

When she was back home the girl knocked at the witch's door. The witch opened the door and let the girl in. The girl looked angrily at the witch and asked her why she had stolen the ring. She didn't have the time to finish her sentence when the witch shouted angrily that she needed the money because she wanted to build a school for witches. The girl told her that it wasn't right to steal and she should try hard and work to get her own money. So the witch promised to give the diamonds back to the queen and the rare ring back to its owner. 

After 7 months of hard work the witch had enough money to open the school she wanted. When the school was ready she called the girl to tell her about it and 

invite her to become a teacher there. The girl agreed and a few days later they arranged for her first day of teaching. The girls was stressed and nervous but fortunately everything turned out fine and they all lived happily ever after!!!
