Short Story written by: Ana Canti

The only road into town was through a big meadow which had an apple tree in the middle of it. Beautiful and lonely, his branches had were shaped like hands and the trunk was strong and tall, and shone from far.

One day, a man who was tired of walking, rested on his trunk, and the grateful tree let an apple fall in front of the man, who happily ate the tasty apple.

THE SAD KID

Short Story written by: Delsy Janet Quispe Goto.

Daniel lived with his parents and his nanny Joana, in a beautiful house in front of the park. But he was never in the park. His parents were always working and he preferred to be at home studying rather than outside playing. He used to spend too much time in his home library while Joana did the housework.

Daniel was actually very sad, as for most of the day he was alone with Joana. His parents were never at home and this frustrated him. Joana was always trying to motivate the boy to go out and play with the other kids, but he used to ignore her. He knew that he would have fun with them, but he was never in the mood to go.
