Summer
Αθανασία Διαμαντοπούλου, Greece - drawings
Monica Frigerio, Italy - story


Once upon a time there was a small village in a desert in Central Africa. It was a particularly hot summer, it had not rained for many months, the ground and fields were very dry.
There was a tribe called River Feather, because their village was on the banks of a river now without water. The fish had fled to the sea, the birds had flown far away. Without any water the rice could not grow.
The journey of Sun
The tribe had no food and even the water supplies were running out. There was a girl called Sun who was fed up with this sadness and drought. So she decided to take a trip to the sea. She built a bow and some arrows and put a pannier on her shoulder, with ropes inside. She walked for days and days, around her she saw only drought and desolation. Arriving at the mouth of the river, she built a raft and oars with wood found around.
She set sail for the open sea and fished fish for the whole village, then returned home. Suddenly the sky on the horizon turned black and after a few minutes it started to rain. The girl was very happy: now she could sail with her raft and finally she was able to go home. Everything had returned as it was before.

It was the end of the school year. Students ran out of school, left their uniforms at home and went to the park. Anna and Emma were roller skating when
they saw Mary and Peter. They held a lot of balloons. Mary invited them to her birthday party. Her brother Peter told them that it would be in the park at 10 o’clock. Girls went home, took the presents and went back to the park.

When Anna and Emma arrived here it turned out that they were the first. At the party they were swimming in the river and dancing. Mary’s birthday cake looked like a flower. After the birthdays party girls’ parents took them to the pet shop and bought them two kittens because they achieved the best marks.

THE SUMMER SECRET
Samuele and his family were spending their summer holidays in an enchanting mountain village and not far from their wooden cottage there was a beautiful lake. The boy had met two little sisters Monica and Grazia and they often played together. One day Samuele asked them if they wanted to go for a ride around the lake. With the permission of their parents, the three friends filled their backpacks with everything they needed for their walk. When they arrived to the lake shore, they relaxed, ate their snack and finally decided to continue their journey along a path that led to the mountain so that they could admire the whole lake.
On the way they saw an opening in a rock, which seemed to be a cave, they looked a little intimidated but entered it. It was all dark but from a distance they could see a light and heard complaints, they found themselves in front of a half-open door, they came into a beautiful room with lights of many colors. In the center of the room there was a bed on which lay a sleeping girl and around three other crying girls. Samuel asked, "Who are you, why are you crying and what happened to the girl on the bed?" One of them replied: "We are the sisters Seasons and the one on the bed is Summer and it has been days since she wakes up, she had been hit by a spell of the magician Pollution and if she does not wake up early
the climate will change frost and cold storms will begin, only the kiss of a child with a humble and sincere heart can awaken her and ensure that in summer there is warm and sunny weather." Monica and Grace looked Samuele in his eyes as if to tell him that he had to try.
The boy went to the bed and kissed the girl on her lips, she immediately opened her eyes and began to get up slowly. The other girls shouted for joy and while Samuel and the two friends were going away one of them said: "Thanks, but never tell anyone what happened." The three boys returned home and swore that they would hide what they had lived from everyone; it would have been their fantastic "SECRET OF SUMMER"

THE SUMMER
The waves seem to sing
The Sky is blue like see
The sand is yellow like the sun
and the clouds are white
like the foam of the waves...
Those are the summer colors that I love
Summer , sun , waves and songs.

Summer
The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, the meadow is full of colors and children. A bird is seen flying in the sky, and in the grass crickets sizzle as one.
Everywhere you look the flowers dance a merry wheel. The rainbow creates a beautiful background. The clouds laugh and whisper quietly to the animals: "Light feet have come, summer has arrived." Trees with beautiful foliage have become home to beautiful animals, birds, squirrels ... The trees also give delicious fruits: apples, pears, plums ... The smell of delicious strawberries calling kids to a delicious dessert.
Kids play and run all day long with a beautiful smile on their faces, and happiness flares around them. The boys play football or badminton.
Girls release dragons flying through the sky and they dance their dance in the summer. The common, favorite game is hide and seek, followed by a break with snacks and laughter.
It is summer. The joy of children is felt in the air
which cheerfully sounds like valuable bees around flowers.

The beach is a traditional summer destination for thousands of people. Everyone wants to go to the beach! Sun, surf, and sand are a magnetic lure for millions of visitors. The wealth of things to do includes sunbathing, jogging, boating, fishing and surfing. Spending holidays on the beach is a great rest though many people combine sunbathing with visiting museums and places of interest.
When I look from the shore to the sea, I see a picture of the Ukrainian flag: yellow sand below and the blue sea to the horizon. The combination of colors like the Ukrainian flag is yellow-blue. And on this huge ship I would like to circumnavigate the world. And return to your Motherland.

The Cruise
On a beautiful, sunny morning I went for a walk along the beach. There was nobody but the birds and ... Suddenly I saw a little boat near the coast. I came closer as I was curious who that boat belonged to. Then I noticed a small boy inside it. He waved at me and asked me to get on the boat. He showed me the flag of his country - Ukraine. He told me about his country. I got interested as Ukraine is Poland's eastern neighbour. We drifted away from the shore and could admire the beauty of the coastline... At that moment I reminded myself that my parents could start worrying about me so we headed for the shore. We
promised to meet again the next year. Meanwhile, we kept in
touch phoning each other...

A letter to summer
Dear summer,
so much desired, you have coloured this land with many beautiful colours, you have given to the trees beauty and fruit. Among these trees, I see a big tree that seems almost magic.
The roots are all coloured like a rainbow, a shining sun is on the top of the trunk and its branches are the rays.
I am crouching beside the tree, looking at him with joy. The heat gives the joy to the whole word and to me.

The street was empty.It was getting darker.Nobody was in the street.Also , nobody was in the bus. People must stay at home because of pandemic.
The sky wasn't blue like old days. There were others colours like people's worrying .But people learnt from TV how they behave against this bad
disaster .Hope is always with us.

That warm summer morning, the beach of Turkey's Icmeler Marmaris resort ethoated naturally and wildly, resembling a corner of heaven that had not yet been touched.
On the seashore, I was admiring the infinite stretch of blue that darkened its color as I looked at it.
The sea breeze, the wind, the pine forest that reflected in the water induced me a state of peace and harmony. The more I looked, the more I understood that the beauty of nature is essential to a harmonious life.
Thus, I realized that there are beautiful places outside my country too ... and I promised myself that I would return to this corner of heaven with my friends.

It was summer, a sunny day. We were seeing a hot air balloon competition. It was happening on a wheat field. I could see a tree, the grass camp and some white houses far far away. The clouds were a signal of no rain. I could see the people on the hot air balloon. The balloon was big. It was a relaxing day.

"Where are all the people?" She thought.
Then she noticed a mother and her daughter. They were wearing their swimsuits and sandals. She decided to follow them.


A few minutes later, they were at the seaside. People were swimming and sunbathing.
"Oh, what are this?" She yelled.
Three big dolphins were chasing eachother. They were appearing and then disappearing in the sea. That was a wonderful sight.

A boy was selling icecream on the beach. She loved icecream a lot. Oh, no! A small boy is running towards the sea! Their dog is running after him!
"Good dog!" It caught him and didn't let him go in to the sea.
It was getting dark. She was tired. She put her head onto the hot sands and fell asleep...

There were a few people here and there on the beach. Some kids were building sand castles just for fun. There were at least three or six people for the most, already bathing in the clear, blue sea water.
Every time she visited the sea, it waves filled Annabel´s face with salty drops that gave her the feeling of receiving a thousand kisses from it. What a happy and hot time! Feeling the beach sand on your feet, hearing the waves splashing on the seashore. There are many things to enjoy on the beach. But first of all they ran into the sea water and dived in. The water was cool and wonderful that we stayed there until it was time for us to have a break.
After break I decided to build a sand castle. My brother was in the sea with my father . He enjoyed climbing up and down the slide and diving into the sea. My sister, Ruth, was playing on the shore, when a big wave covered her. She had a strange think on her head. “Dad, have a look at this strange thing,” She cried. Dad screamed at us not to touch it and told her that it was only an octopus.He took it out of her head and put it back overboard.
It was a memorable day for everyone

They were all missing. So the girl snapped her fingers and BAAM!!! People appeared everywhere: there were people playing football, who were chasing each other, others building sandcastles. Everyone was having a good time!The sparrow said goodbye to the summer lady and decided to stay and enjoy the sea after his long trip. He listened to the seagulls and tried to imitate them, he admired the colours: the blue sea, the white clouds, the yellow sun and the red crabs who were walking by the sea.
He was fascinated by the beauty of the shells and discovered how fun it was to dive into the sea while many fish said "hello" to him.
He thought that he had been lucky to travel with the summer lady because in this way he could admire the sea during the most beautiful season. While he was watching the children, who were playing happily, his attention was drawn to a sweet girl with long black hair and blue eyes like the sea. The little girl named Ilaria was with her mummy and her daddy and she decided to participate in a competition on the beach.
It was a sandcastle competition. The sparrow began playing and chirping happily round little Ilaria to encourage her.
When the competition ended, each child was rewarded, and Ilaria won the first prize. The little girl celebrated with her parents and said thank you to the sweet sparrow who had been with her all the time.
The sparrow decided to spend the night near the sea. So he found refuge in a very colourful tent, but he couldn’t sleep because he couldn’t stop thinking about the many things he had seen and learned. He really loved summer!
