This too shall pass

Have a look at all the mechanisms in this!

The Race

One lady was walking in the city with a watch. She saw the city hall clock. It wasn’t in time.  The lady went to see the watchmaker. He repaired it.

Then she went to the plant museum Oh no! She was late because she had a boat race and she participated. When she was in the way, she saw race preparations. She ran the fast she could. Quickly she pushed the boat in the water.  And the race started. 

When the race finished, she won the cup. The cup was a plant with a heart in the middle made of gold.

Invention called "Pepito Gafotas"

These days I have been in Bordeaux with my family. While I was walking in the street I found a shop with some very good inventions. I was surprised by the number of good and clever ideas.

My attention was drawn to a portable-glasses. I have bought one of them, I have called it "Pepito Gafotas".

Pepito has changed my life.

Sometimes I put the glass of my glasses down and I can´t see very well because I scratch the glass.

I think Pepito is very funny and now my glasses are safe because Pepito take care of them.

Look at it!!!

I`ve Found You! - 100 words story

One day there were two men who were playing `hide and seek`. The one that was seeking had big boggly eyes that made him a great seeker. The hider was the one with an eye patch.
They both got separated - even after one month later they still had not found each other although they had been seeking night and day. The more they tried the further away they got. In fact, they moved so far apart that they moved around the earth and bumped into each other on the other side.
"Ha Ha I've found you!" said the boggly eyed man.

The Best Weekend With My Father

I was looking forward to this weekend because we had four continuous holidays. My sister, my mum and I went by train to Rodez. My father was waiting in the railway station. I was very excited to see my father after a long time. He had rented a car to take us all around. We went to his house in the car. After a while, we went to the amphitheatre in Rodez. It is a modern building made of steel and lit with decorations of colorful lights. We went to a park nearby. My sister and I ate popcorn and played in the park. We saw the big cathedral. It was made of red bricks and in the night it looked golden. Then, we went back home.

The next day we went to Albi in our car. The person in the tourist office told us that the boat ride is cancelled during the winter. I really wanted to go on the road, but as I couldn't go I was gloomy. I liked everything in Albi like the bridge and the museum as well. I just didn't like the fact that it was raining. After a long time in Albi, we went home. The next morning,  we went to Laguoile. It is a small village which consists of only 2000 people. The specialties there are knives and cheese. First we went to the cheese making factory. I wanted to see how they make cheese, but they showed only the video of it which was in French! It was a little disappointing to us. Then we went to a knives factory. There were lots of knives put on display  when we entered. We were allowed to go around the factory and see how the knives were actually made. They explained everything to us in French, but my father told it to me in English. And  so I understood everything perfectly. Afterwards, we went around and saw all the knives on display. I liked a knife very much. My father bought it for me. Its handle was made out of an animal's horn and its blade was very sharp. After we bought it, we gave it to a knife maker and he printed our family name and the date on it. We then had lunch, sat in the car and drove back to my father's house. That night, I told  my father everything that had happened in the week. Later, my mother, my father, my sister and I played Fizz Buzz for a long time until we all were very tired. We then had our dinner and went to bed.

The trip was very good because my father was with us. As I sat crying in the train, I began to count the number of days left for the next weekend as my father would then come to our house.  

Hundred word story

The night arriving, an ant sleeping, two elephants competing to have a flag. Boats sinking in the sky, signs everywhere, number one on the road. Smiles in the sky, elephants are sleepy and tired; they are also still and sweating and in all types of colours. They are cold and sad; there are spots and colours everywhere, there are lines and two eyes, there are red things and black things.

However, if you look twice, you can also see a snake looking at the ant, a duck flying around and Mr Gregg with his halloween’s face!!!

It is amazing how many things you can see!

France And Alps

Once upon a time there lived a wise flag, which was called France. He had a best friend called Alps who lived in Italy. They loved playing together all day. Today they were playing with a clever  elephant called Ella.They were drawing numbers, shapes, letters and lines. At the end of the day, Alps didn't feel very well. In fact, he looked pretty pink! France knew what he had to do. He called for the European docter, who said Alps had Mountitis. Alps had to stay in bed, but his friends Ella and France visited and soon Alps was better.

They chased each other around, and had lots of fun! The little boy watched the fish and joined in their games, swimming and diving to the boat. Soon it was time for home, the little boy said goodbye to his new friends, he told his mum all about his adventures under the sea and all the fun he had.

THE FOUR BROTHERS

Once upon a time there were four brothers and they were all birds. One day they all went into the forest but had a disagreement. Their disagreement was that the tallest wanted to go north, the shortest wanted to go East, the second shortest wanted to go south, and the one with the curly hair wanted to go west. It turned out that they all went in their own direction but they met again in a village. “It would have been better if we just went in the same direction” said the oldest. Then, suddenly, they froze on that stick.  

Dancing Around The Sun

 

Adisa is a seven year old boy who lives in a small village in Africa with his mum, dad, brother and sister. The village is very small. Adisa and his family live in a little mud hut. The ground is orange and always very warm when the sun burns down on it. The sun always shines above Adisa's village, it looks like a big round ball of fire. Every evening Adisa's dad makes a fire in the middle of the village and everyone comes out to dance around it. Adisa thinks it looks like they are dancing around the sun!!!

The Lady and the Elephant

Once upon a time there was a lady who was lost in a maze. While she was in the maze she crossed an elephant and then they became friends. When they managed to get to the middle of the maze there was a wooden shed. So they decided to live there together. They always had sun shine. They also had a beautiful garden they planted a lot of stuff like an apple tree with golden apples. Apple pie it was for dessert it was really yummy! But suddenly their apple tree got sick at its roots so they got some water and it got healed. 

That is the story which comes in my mind when I look at this painting (insula Dulcamara, painted in 1938).

Ella's adventure

A long time ago there was a girl named Ella. She went on adventure every summer and in the winter she stayed in a tunnel. Ella did not have games and toys so she painted pictures on the walls. She also made elephant bulls and all kinds of stuff. It was summer time so she went on one of her favourite adventures, it was climbing up rocks. When she got to the top she could see everything from up there. Ella could see her tunnel and on it a picture of an elephant. It looked so beautiful but it was getting dark so had to go home.

The Elephant and The Man

There was once a man who had large weird eyes. He looked very grumpy. In front of him, standing tall and huge was a kind-looking elephant. It looked like it was crying. I then noticed red marks all over its body.When I asked someone who also worked in that circus, he told me that the angry old man was the elephant's owner and that he always used to beat up the elephant. That was why the elephant had cuts all over his body. I was sad as I could not do anything to help the poor elephant.
