Every friday, Peter went home back from school and thought about all the things he would do over the weekend. Even if the way was longer through the park, he liked to walk home that way so he could see other children playing.

Peter opened it, but there was nothing inside except for a paper with a phone number and an address written on it. But as it was late, he went back home. That night he couldn’t stop thinking about the briefcase. – “Who had left it there?, Should I return it?, or should I forget about it? It’s just an empty briefcase, anyway.” Continue reading…

Everyone knows me as Glup although my real name is Galish, and for the past twenty years I have been living in Jaipur, India. I live very close to my aunts and uncles, my brother, and my friends, but I am not sure how far it is from where you live.
I have always been very curious to know what other families do for work. So first, to break the ice, I will tell you about the different professions in an elephant family and maybe afterwards you can tell me about what your family does.
Contrary to what most people think, in an elephant family we all have different roles. I, for example, am the diver in the family, and I also happen to be the youngest as I haven’t yet turned twenty one.
My dad who is 60 years old, weighs a lot, and he is three times my size! My mom, Kaira, just turned 65 a week ago. She was born before any of us. Continue reading…
