THE ANIMALS’ LESSON

Short Story written by: Jose Mauricio Puentes Arias.

One day, all the animals in the forest decided to have a meeting, from the biggest to the smallest, because they wanted to solve a problem that they were worried about. They were tired of seeing humans throw their rubbish into the water, contaminating and so harming nature.

For this reason, lots of them, mostly their young, were dying. They hatched a plan to make humans suffer just as much as the animals were suffering.

THE EMPEROR´S NEW CLOTHES

A summary of the original Short Story written by: Christian Andersen

Once upon a time there was an emperor that spent all his money on expensive clothes. He cared nothing about other activities like going to the theatre, or going for a ride in his carriage, except to show off his new clothes. He didn´t even care about talking to people.

In the great city where he lived, there were lots of tourists. One day two swindlers arrived and let it be known that they were weavers and they said they could make the emperor the most magnificent suit from a special fabric. Not only were their colours and patterns uncommonly fine, but clothes made from this cloth were only visible to clever people.
