INTRODUCCIN

Querid@ lector@: leme, por

favor!

Querido/a lector/a estos

cuentos estn escritos en unas

circunstancias concretas, pero, me

gustara que, cuando los cuentes

en clase o a tus hijos/as o

sobrinos/as o a cualquier otro/a

nio/a, les hagas las

modificaciones que t creas

pertinentes ya que estn hechos a

base de plastilina (que como

sabes adopta infinidad de formas y

tiene mil colores) y de mucha,

mucha imaginacin. Espero que

disfrutes con ellos y que te saquen

de algn apuro cuando se te

hayan gastado, aunque sea

momentneamente, tus ideas.

INTRODUCTION:

Dear reader: Please Read me!

Dear reader, these stories are written

in concrete circumstances. However, I

would like that when you read them to

a class or to your children, nieces,

nephews or any child you may be

reading them to, that you make

modifications that pertain to your

audience. These stories are made

with a play-dough base so that you

can make infinite variations to them

such as names, places, colors, etc

thus leaving room for your

imagination. I truly hope that you

enjoy them and that they may lend

you a helping hand, maybe even only

momentarily, when you have run out

of ideas.

LA BEB CONSTITUCIN

Sabis nios qu cumpleaos

celebramos hoy? El cumpleaos de

la Constitucin. Os voy a explicar

qu es la Constitucin y por qu

celebramos hoy su cumpleaos.

Tambin ella fue una beb y una

nia como vosotros y vosotras.

Ahora tiene aos.

Hace muchos aos en .

(nombre del municipio o lugar

donde nos encontremos), en

Espaa, cuando las seos eran tan

pequeas como vosotros/as

suceda que las normas y las leyes

que haba no eran iguales para

todos y todas los espaoles. Y

esto, aunque no lo parezca, era un

enorme problema.

Era como si yo no os tratara a

todos y a todas por igual y, por

ejemplo, a unos nios les dejara ir

al recreo y a otros no; a unos nias

les diera los lpices y los colores

nuevos y a otros siempre los viejos.

que dirais que soy una seo muy

THE BABY CONSTITUTION

Children, children, do any of you

know whose birthday we celebrate

today? No? Well, it is the birthday

of the Constitution, of course! Let

me explain to you what the

Constitution is and why we celebrate

its birthday

A long, long time ago it was a

little child just like you all. It is all

grown up now and is years old

(Insert number of years old your

Constitution is). But many years ago

in .(name of municipality or place

where you are in the world), when

the ladies and gentlemen were as

small as you are, it occurred that the

norms and laws they had at that

time, were not equal for all Spanish

people. Although it didnt seem so at

the time, this was a very big problem.

It would be like me not treating all of

you kids the same, for example,

maybe I would let some of you go

out for play time and others not; or to

some of you I would give out the new

mala. Eso es lo que pasaba

entonces en nuestro pas.

Como no se poda seguir as con

leyes y normas que no eran las

mismas para todos y todas,

decidieron unos hombres y unas

mujeres muy sabios y muy buenos

hacer unas leyes que trataran por

igual a todos y todas los espaoles.

Estas leyes son nuestra

Constitucin. As naci, nios, la

Constitucin. Desde ese da, 6 de

Diciembre de 1978, hay igualdad y

libertad en Espaa, y, por eso,

porque estamos muy contentos,

celebramos cada ao su

cumpleaos.

Y colorn colorado, este

cuento se ha acabado.

coloring pencils with new colors and

only old ones to others. What would

you think about me then? I am sure

that you would all say that I am a

very bad teacher. Well, that is what

was happening in our country.

Since they couldnt continue like

this with unfair laws and norms,

many smart and very good men and

women decided to make new laws

that would treat every Spanish

person equally. These new laws are

our Constitution. And just like that,

the Constitution was born. Since

that day of December 6, 1978 there

is freedom and equality in Spain and

because we are very happy, we

celebrate the birthday of the

Constitution every year. And with

that, kids, this tale has come to an

end.

EL CUMPLEAOS DE LA

CONSTITUCIN

Hola, nios, soy la

Constitucin y vengo a explicaros

quin soy. Soy un libro muy gordote

que est lleno de leyes y normas

iguales para todos los espaoles y

espaolas. Como sois todos muy

listos os voy a hacer unas cuantas

preguntillas. Decidme: Qu

normas tenis en la clase? .....

Lavarse las manos antes de comer,

no molestar a los dems cuando

trabajamos, no pelearse en el

patio..... Imaginaos por un

momento cmo seran la clase y el

cole sin normas: seran un

autntico desastre: el pato estara

lleno de basura, los nios se

llevaran los juguetes a sus casas y

no podramos jugar en la clase, las

fichas estaras tiradas por los

suelos, Qu horror! No quiero ni

pensarlo.

Pues eso mismo pasara en

Espaa si no hubiera una norma

igual para todos los que vivimos en

THE CONSTITUTIONS

BIRTHDAY

Hello kids, I am the Constitution! I

have come today to explain to you

who I am. I am a very thick book

that is full of laws and norms to

provide equality for all of the

Spanish boys and girls. I see you

are all very smart, so Im going to

ask you some questions. First of

all, what norms have you got in your

class? For example Im sure you

have rules like washing your hands

before eating, not bothering others

when working, not fighting on the

patio, etc. Imagine for a moment

how class and school would be

without rules: it would be a

complete disaster. The patio would

be full of trash, the children would

take toys home and we wouldnt be

able to play in class, everyone

would throw worksheets on the floor

and how terrible! I dont even want

to think about it.

Well, the exact same would happen

in Spain if there wasnt equality for


8/49


ella, si no existiera yo, la

Constitucin, que todo sera un

desastre y un desorden total

porque estaramos siempre

pegndonos y molestndonos y

todo estara muy sucio y muy feo.

As que, unos hombres muy

buenos y muy sabios me hicieron

hace.. (decir los aos que cumpla

la Constitucin) aos para que

todos vivamos muy felices en

igualdad.

Antes de despedirme os voy

a pedir que os acordis de m, al

menos de vez en cuando, es decir,

el da de mi cumpleaos. Os invito

a mi fiesta a todos y a todos, que

se celebra hoy en el cole. Adems,

no hace falta que me hagis ningn

regalo, porque vosotros sois mi

regalo.

Y colorn, colorado, este

cuento se ha acabado

everyone living there. If I, the

Constitution, didnt exist, everything

would be a disaster and disordered

because we would always be

fighting and bothering each other

and everything would be dirty and

ugly. Yuck! The Spanish people

didnt want this either, so, a group of

good and intelligent people made

me years (say however many

years old the constituion is) ago so

that we could all live happily ever

after just like in the fairy tales.

So, before saying goodbye I want to

ask you all to remember me from

time to time, at least on my birthday.

All of you are invited to my party

that we are celebrating today in

school. It will be loads of fun and

not to mention free because no one

needs to give me a gift today on my

birthday. Why dont I need a

present? Because all of you are

gifts to

me! I dont need any more. With

that said, this tale has come to an

end!

LOS ENANITOS TAMBIN

PUEDEN

Un da, cuando los siete

enanitos llegaron a la casa se

encontraron que la comida estaba

sin hacer, las camas abiertas, el

cuarto de bao sucio, ... Qu

habr pasado? Se preguntaban los

unos a los otros. De pronto, se

encontraron que Blancanieves

estaba superresfriada y se haba

tenido que meter en la cama.

Lo siento, chicos, - dijo

Blancanieves- con voz ronca y en

medio de un estornudo.

No te preocupes- le contestaron los

siete enanitos-. Nosotros podemos

hacerlo. Y as se pusieron manos a

la obra. Pero, ocurri, que como no

saban hacer las tareas de la casa,

todo fue un desastre: la tortilla se les

quem, rompieron 18 platos al poner

la mesa, encharcaron el cuarto de

bao al quererlo fregar, las camas

tenan mil arrugas. Se acostaron,

por fin, muy tristes y preocupados.

Nosotros no podemos hacerlo se

THE SEVEN DWARVES CAN

CLEAN HOUSE TOO!

One day when the seven dwarves

arrived home they found many

unusual things. The food wasnt

done, the beds werent made, the

bathroom was dirty, etc. What

had happened? they all asked

each other? Suddenly, they saw

that Snow White had a terrible

cold and had to stay in bed all day.

Im sorry guys, said Snow white

with a hoarse voice and in the

middle of a sneeze. A-choo! I

feel terrible.

Dont worry, answered the seven

dwarves.

We can do it. With that said,

they put their hands to work.

However, it was obvious that the

dwarves did not know how to do

the house chores, everything was

a disaster: they burnt the omelets,

broke 18 plates when trying to set

the table, flooded the bathroom

when all they wanted to do was

scrub it and all the beds had

lamentaban.

Sin embargo, al da

siguiente, Blancanieves les dijo:

Vosotros, ach, s podis hacerlo.

Solo necesitis que yo os ensee.

A todos les pareci una magnfica

idea. En unas cuantas semanas los

siete enanitos saban guisar,

planchar, lavar, hacer las camas,

barrer. Qu contentos estaban

todos!

El enanito Sabio tambin

tuvo una idea brillante:

ensear a Blancanieves a trabajar

en la mina.

De esta forma todos podan

hacer de todo y se cambiaban el

puesto segn queran. Adems, se

descubri que Perezoso era un

excelente cocinero, que Mudito

lavaba los platos como nadie y que

Blancanieves poda hacer tneles

ms altos que los enanitos.

Por supuesto, cuando

Blancanieves se cas con el

prncipe le ense a hacer las

faenas de la casa y, claro, cuando

wrinkles in the sheets. Finally

they went to bed very sad and

worried. We cant do it, they

sadly said.

However, the following day, Snow

White said to them: Hey guys, A-

choo, you can do it. You only

need for me to teach you. This

seemed like a marvelous idea to

everyone. Snow White began to

teach the dwarves how to do the

house chores and within a matter

of weeks the seven dwarves knew

how to cook, iron, wash, make the

beds and sweep. They were so

happy!

Then Doc, the smartest of the

dwarves, had another idea: to

teach Snow White how to work in

the mines where the dwarves

work.

This way everyone could do

everything and change places

whenever they wanted. Aside

from this, they discovered that

Sleepy was an excellent cook,

Bashful could wash plates better


11/49


saban que a Perezoso le tocaba

guisar iban a comer con los

enanitos, faltara ms.



than everyone and that Snow

White could dig higher tunnels

than the dwarves.

So of course, when Snow White

married the Prince Charming, she

taught him how to do some of the

housework as well, and when they

knew it was Bashfuls turn to cook

they knew without doubt they were

going to eat with the dwarves.

This is how the dwarves and Snow

White learned to help each other

just like we should with each other

so everyone can live happily ever

after. The End

TRONCHETE EL MARRANETE

Tronchete era un nio muy

guapo y muy simptico que tena

muchos amigos y amigas en su

clase. Pero, resulta que le dio por no

lavarse y hacer el guarro: no se

lavaba las manos ni la cara ni el

pelo, se tiraba pedos, eructaba, se

coma los mocos, estornudaba sin

ponerse la mano...... De repente se

qued sin amigos porque ningn

nio de la clase ni del colegio quera

estar con l; es ms, en cuanto lo

vean salan corriendo. Pronto

empezaron a llamarlo Tronchete el

marranete.

Tronchete se puso muy triste

al no poder jugar con nadie, pero, no

se daba cuenta de que no queran ir

con l porque estaba muy sucio.

Lloraba por las tardes en su casa.

Su mam y su pap se preocuparon

y decidieron ir a hablar con la

maestra. Ella les dijo lo que pasaba.

Esa misma tarde su madre lo

ba, le cort el pelo y las uas, le

ech colonia y le ense a no ser

DIRTY DANIEL

Daniel was actually a very

handsome boy and very nice who

had many friends in his class. But

they made fun of him and started

calling him Dirty Daniel for having

ugly manners such as not taking

baths, not washing his hands, face

or hair, passed gas, burped, wiped

his nose with his hands, sneezed

without covering his mouth, and

many more. Suddenly, Daniel

found himself without a friend in

the world because no one wanted

to be close to him. Even worse,

when the other children saw him

they ran away.

Daniel became very sad and

couldnt play with anyone, but, he

didnt realize that they didnt want

to play with him because he was

so dirty. He cried during the

afternoon in his house. His mom

and dad became worried and

decided to go and talk to Daniels

teacher. She told them what was

happening.

tan maleducado. Al da siguiente sus

compaeros no lo reconocieron al

principio, pues se crean que era un

nio nuevo. Pero l les dijo: Soy

Tronchete. Enseguida todos se

pusieron muy contentos de ver que

haba cambiado, ya s queran ser

sus amigos y, por supuesto, dejaron

de llamarlo Marranete.



That very same afternoon,

his mother gave him a bath, cut

his hair and nails, put cologne on

him and taught him not to have

bad manners. The next day, the

other children didnt recognize him

at first so they thought he was a

new kid at school. He finally had

to tell them, Hey its me, Daniel!

Soon afterwards the children were

very pleased to see that he had

changed so much. They told him

yes, We do want to be your

friends, and of course stopped

calling him Dirty Daniel. After that,

everyone lived happily ever after,

especially Daniel.

LOS DIENTES PICADOS

Esto era una vez unos

dientes que vivan muy felices en la

boca de una nia. Es hora de

trabajar, Mara va a desayunar se

decan unos a otros.

Es hora de trabajar, Mara va a

almorzar se volvan a decir unos a

otros

Es hora de trabajar, Mara va a

cenar.

Lo que ms les gustaba a los

dientes es que Mara sonriera o se

riese porque entonces abra la boca

y ellos aprovechaban para ver el

mundo: Un da vean la cara de su

mejor amigo, otro da contemplaban

las olas del mar. Todo era

maravilloso.

Pero sucedi que a Mara le

dio por comer chuches y por no

lavarse los dientes.

Qu sucios estamos! Estamos

llenos de azcar! Vaya asquito que

damos! Se quejaban los dientes.

Un da vieron venir a un

THE ANNOYED TEETH

This was a time when a set of

teeth lived very happily inside the

mouth of a little girl named Maria.

Its time to work, Maria is going to

eat breakfast, they said to each

other. Its time to work, Maria is

going to eat lunch, they said to

each other again. Its time to

work, Maria is going to eat dinner,

they said to each other for the

third time that day. This was the

life of the teeth.

What the teeth liked most is when

Maria would smile or laugh

because she opened her mouth

and they were able to see the

world. One day they saw the face

of her best friend, another day

they saw the ocean waves.

Everything was absolutely

marvelous for them. But what

began to happen is that Maria was

harming them by eating too many

sweets and not brushing her teeth.

Were so dirty! Were full of

bicho muy feo y horrible. Quin

ser ese? Qu querr? Se

preguntaban los dientes entre ellos.

Entonces el bicho se

present: Hola, amigos, soy la

caries y vengo a vivir entre con

vosotros.

Con nosotros? No queremos!

Gritaron los dientes.

Me da igual, -dijo Caries-, es ms,

todava no os he dicho lo mejor: mi

plato favorito son los dientes. En

unos das me comer a uno de

vosotros y despus seguir con los

dems.

Alarma, alarma, alarma!!!

Pero, cuando ya los dientes se

vean hechos bocadillos, filetes y

tortillas para la Caries, aparecieron

don Cepillo y Doa Pasta que

echaron la Caries en un periquete.

Fuera, bicho, vete de aqu que no

te queremos ni ver y despus

limpiaron y dejaron de nuevo

relucientes a los dientes.

Los dientes volvieron a estar tan

limpios y tan contentos como antes.

sugar! Look how ugly we have

become! the teeth complained.

One day the saw an ugly and

horrible germ. Who wants to be

that? Who would want to be

that? they asked each other.

Well, this germ introduced itself by

saying: Hello new friends! Im a

cavity and I have come to live with

you all.

-With us? We dont want that!

cried the teeth.

-Well I dont care, said the cavity.

And I still havent told you the

best part: My favorite dish is

teeth! In a matter of weeks I will

eat each and every one of you

and one by one.

Warning!!! Warning!!! Warning!!!

So, when the teeth had seen

enough unhealthy sandwiches,

fillets of meat and omelets for the

cavity, they approached Mr.

Toothbrush and Mrs. Toothpaste

and told them the problem. Mr.

Toothbrush and Mrs. Toothpaste

told Maria what was happening

inside her mouth and she didnt

like it at all. They went to work

together and kicked out the cavity

quickly. Get out germ! Get out of

here and we dont ever want to

see you again, they said, and

afterwards Maria, Mr. Toothbrush

and Mrs. Toothpaste cleaned the

teeth good and left them sparkling

brand new. The teeth returned to

being as clean and happy as

before. Aside from this, the

cavities never came back because

Maria brushed her teeth every

day, just like you all should to

keep your beautiful teeth. Now,

Maria and her teeth could live

happily ever after!

CAPERUCITA SALVA AL LOBO

Ocurri que despus de salir

huyendo del cazador el lobo de

Caperucita fue apresado por unos

hombres malos que lo encerraron en

un zoo de la ciudad. All sufri todo

tipo de maltratos: los cuidadores no

le daban agua ni comida, los nios y

las nias le tiraban piedras y del

rabo, ... El pobre lobo, que estaba

muy arrepentido de haberse

intentado comer a Caperucita,

lloraba desconsolado todas las

noches Ay, ay, qu desgraciado

soy! Nadie me quiere! Cmo me

gustara volver al bosque y ser

libre!

De repente, un da,

Caperucita fue al zoo y le dio mucha

lstima de que maltrataran de esta

manera al lobo. Como era tan buena

le dijo al lobo: No te preocupes te

ayudar a salir de aqu! Entonces lo

disfraz con su caperuza y as el

lobo pudo salir de all sin que nadie

se diera cuenta de que se iba.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

SAVES THE WOLF

It unfortunately happened that

after escaping from a hunter, the

wolf from Little Red Riding Hood

was captured by some other very

mean and nasty men and locked

up in the city zoo. While there, he

suffered all kinds of mistreatment:

the caretakers didnt give him

water or food, the boys and girls

threw rocks at him and on top of

all this, the poor wolf, who was

soooo sorry for having tried to eat

Little Red Riding Hood cried

uncontrollably every night. Oh

no, now look how disgraced I am!

Nobody loves me! If only I could

go back to the forest and be free!

Well, one lucky day, Little Red

Riding Hood went to the zoo and

saw the wolf. It made her feel

terrible to see the way the zoo was

treating him. Since she was such

a good little girl she said to the

wolf, Dont worry Mr. Wolf, Im

going to help you get out of here!

Caperucita y le pidi perdn por

haber sido tan malo. A continuacin

se fue corriendo al bosque donde

vivi muy feliz. Y, desde aquel da,

Caperucita y el lobo se hicieron muy

amigos, tanto que iban juntos a

pescar al ro.

Y colorn, colorado este


So, she quickly disguised the wolf

with her hood so that the wolf

could escape without anyone

realizing what was going on. The

wolf thanked Little Red Riding

Hood a thousand and one times

and apologized one thousand and

two times for having been such a

bad wolf. Afterwards, the wolf

went running into the forest where

it lived happy and free again. And

from that day onwards, Little Red

Riding Hood and the wolf became

good friends, so good in fact that

they go fishing together in the

river. They lived long and happily

ever after.

TENGO UNA IDEA (Celebracin

del da de la Paz)

Sabis nios por qu

celebramos el da de la paz? Os voy

a contar un cuento muy bonito para

explicarlo

Hace muchos aos vivi en

la India un seor muy bueno que se

llamaba Mahatma Gandhi. Resulta

que en aquel tiempo hubo una

guerra horrible en la India y

murieron muchas personas. El

pobre Gandhi lloraba y lloraba al ver

que sus vecinos se peleaban y

guerreaban entre s. Y pensaba que

tena que haber otro camino distinto

al de la violencia y el odio. Y

pensaba y pensaba y pensaba ...

Hasta que por fin un da le vino una

idea maravillosa: Ya lo tengo, la

paz es el camino, la paz es el

camino. Consigui convencer a los

habitantes de la India para que no

se peleasen entre ellos y cambiasen

la guerra por la paz y as, por fin, se

acab la terrible guerra.

I HAVE AN IDEA

(CELEBRATION OF PEACE

DAY)

Does anyone know why we

celebrate Peace Day? Well, Im

going to tell a beautiful tale to

explain it.

Many, many years ago in the far

away land of India, there lived a

wonderful man named Mahatma

Gandhi. You see children, during

that time in India, there was a

horrible war going on and many

people were dying. The poor

Gandhi cried and cried when he

saw his own neighbors arguing

and going to war against each

other. He thought to himself that

there must be a better way for

resolving problems than fighting

and hate. He thought and he

thought, and then he thought

some more. Just when he

couldnt think anymore, a

wonderful thought popped into his

head. Peace is the way! Why, of

course he thought! Peace is the


20/49


Desde entonces todos los

nios del mundo nos reunimos para

pedir paz en nuestras familias, en

nuestras clases, en nuestros coles y

en todo el mundo. Estamos

convencidos de que el amor y la paz

son mucho mejores que el odio y la

violencia. Verdad?

way! So, what did Gandhi do

next? Well, he went all around

India and convinced the people

without fighting that if anyone is

fighting a war, it should be for

peace and not for hurting one

another. After he convinced the

people this, they stopped fighting

and the terrible war ended for

good.

Since that day, we all gather

around on Peace Day and pray for

peace in our families, our

classrooms, our schools and for

everyone around the world. We

all now know that love and peace

are much better feelings than

violence and hate. Dont you

agree?

EL SEMFORO COLORINES

Haba en la puerta del cole

un semforo, que se llamaba

Colorines, que vea pasar a los

nios y a las nias todos los das.

Un da el gato Chester vio que el

semforo Colorines estaba llorando.

Entonces le pregunt: miau, miau,

miau o lo que es lo mismoqu te

pasa, amigo?. Y Colorines le

contest: Pi pi pi, pi pi pi pi o sea

Estoy triste porque los nios y las

nias no cruzan bien.

Chester le contest No me

lo puedo creer, pero, ir a la clase a

preguntarle a los nios y a las nias

por qu cruzan mal.

Dicho y hecho, a la maana

siguiente se col en una de las

clases y cuando estaban en la

asamblea les pregunt a los nios y

a las nias: Miau, marramiau, Por

qu cruzis mal?. Los nios le

respondieron Es que no lo

entendemos bien. No sabemos lo

que significaban los colores del

semforo Colorines.

THE COLORFUL STOPLIGHT

There was a stoplight in front of

the door to the school that was

called Colorful. It saw the little

boys and girls crossing the street

and going to school every day.

One day something strange

happened. Chester the cat saw

that Colorful was crying. So,

Chester asked Colorful, Meow,

meow, meow, which is the same

as Whats wrong friend? in our

language. And Colorful answered,

Beep beep beep, beep beep

beep, or so you can understand,

I am sad because the little boys

and girls dont cross the street

right. Chester replied back, I

simply cant believe the children

would do something like that, but

Ill go to their class and ask them

why they are crossing the street

wrong.

It was said and done. On the

following morning Chester snuck

into class and when the boys and

girls were assembled he asked


22/49


Miau, miau -dijo Chester-,

eso tiene una solucin estupenda,

miau, miau. Yo os lo explicar:

cuando la luz del hombrecillo se

cuando el hombrecillo se ponga

verde es cuando tenis que

pasar.

Qu fcil! -Gritaron todos los

nios y las nias: cuando est en

rojo el peatn nos paramos y

cuando est en verde pasamos.

muchas gracias, amigo.



them, Meow, meowww, or rather,

Why are all of the boys and girls

crossing the street wrong?

The boys and girls eagerly

responded, Its because we dont

really understand very well. Were

not sure what the colors of

Colorful mean.

Meow, meow, Chester said. Or

in English, Ahhh, well that has a

marvelous solution. Look children,

let me explain it to you. Its very

easy. When Colorfuls light shines

red, you must stop and wait and

when it shines green it means you

must quickly cross the street.

You mean its that easy? asked

the children. Thats so simple.

Hooray! We understand. When

its red we stop and when its

green, we go, they said with

delight. Just like that all the boys

and girls in the school learned how

to cross the street the right way.

Now Colorful was truly happy with

everyone. Beep beep, beep-

beep, said Colorful to Chester,


23/49


which means, Thank you very

much my friend. And of course

Chester replied, Meow-meow,

which as you can guess means,

Youre Welcome! With that

accomplished, everyone in the

school lived happily ever after.

CARTA A LOS REYES MAGOS

El lobo les pidi a los Reyes

Magos cien mil juguetes y, no se

sabe demasiado bien por qu, pero,

se los trajeron todos toditos. Ay,

qu alegra! Me voy a poner a jugar

ahora mismo, pens muy feliz.

Pero, su alegra no le dur

mucho porque tard cuarenta das

en desempaquetar todos los

juguetes. Estoy agotado, no puedo

ms! dijo cuando por fin termin.

Estuvo una semana sin poder jugar

porque ya no tena fuerzas.

Luego, tuvo otro problema: no tena

sitio para meter tanto juguete. No

poda ni comer ni dormir porque

tena toda la casa llena de juguetes.

Ay, me voy a morir de hambre

Con tanto juguete no puedo ni abrir

el frigorfico ni frer la carne. Las

sartenes estn llenas de juguetes y

no encuentro la puerta de la

nevera. Se lamentaba el pobre

lobo.

Pero, lo peor de todo es que

THE WOLFS LETTER TO

SANTA CLAUS

The wolf asked Santa Claus one

Christmas for one hundred

thousand toys and no one exactly

knows why for sure, but he

brought the wolf each and every

one. Yay! What a great gift! One

hundred thousand toys!

Im going start playing right now,

thought the very happy wolf.

However, his happiness did not

last long because it took forty days

to unpack all of the toys. Ugh! I

am fed up with this. I cant open

any more gifts, said the wolf when

he finally finished. He couldnt

play for a whole week because he

was so tired. On top of this, he

had another problem: there was

no place to put so many toys. He

couldnt eat nor sleep because the

entire house was fully of toys.

Oh no, Im going to starve!

With so many toys I cant open the

refrigerator or cook my food. All of

el lobo se volvi ms malo de lo que

era, se volvi tremendamente

egoista, superegoista, egoista,

egoista, egoista. No le prestaba

ningn juguete a nadie ni siquiera a

Caperucita, y lo nico que haca era

guardar los juguetes para que nadie

los tocara. Se volvi medio loco y,

por las noches, gritaba: juguetes,

juguetes, juguetes, juguetes!.

Empez a ponerse malo y enferm y

entonces Caperucita llam a la

mdica. La mdica cuando lo vio le

dijo: Tiene usted una enfermedad

muy fcil de curar.

-ah, s! -Se asombr el lobo.-

Cul es porque yo me siento muy,

muy mal?

-Tiene usted juguetitis

aguda, seor lobo. Le explic la

mdica

-Cmo dice? Juguetitis aguda?,

pregunt el lobo superextraado.

La mdica le respondi: Si. Tiene

muchos juguetes, pero, no le sirven

para nada porque no puede jugar

con ellos. Hubiera sido mejor tener

the pots and pans are full of toys

and I cant even find the

refrigerator door, much less open

it, cried the poor wolf. But the

worst of all was that the wolf

became a worse wolf than he

already had been before getting

the toys. He became very, very,

very, super selfish. He didnt

show any of his toys to anyone,

not even to his best friend Little

Red Riding Hood, and the only

thing he did was hide his toys so

that no one would touch them. He

was going crazy spending the

nights shouting, Toys, toys, and

more toys! He began to be

unhappy and sick and so when

Little Red Riding Hood finally saw

him, she called a nurse to take

care of the wolf.

When the nurse saw him

she said, Youve got an illness

thats very easy to cure.

-Oh yeah? exclaimed the

astonished wolf. What is making

me feel so very, very bad then?


26/49


menos juguetes, pero poder jugar

con ellos usted y sus amigos.

-Y ahora qu hago para curarme,

doctora? Pregunt el lobo

Muy fcil, -le contest- regale usted

todos los juguetes a sus amigos y a

los habitantes del bosque y de la

aldea. Comparta con los dems. Ya

ver como se siente enseguida

mucho mejor.

El lobo le hizo caso a la

mdica y en seguida estuvo curado.

Ahora ha vuelto a ser feliz, aunque

no tenga tantos juguetes porque ha

aprendido a compartir con los

dems. Ya lo dice el refrn: No es

ms feliz el que ms tiene sino el

que menos necesita.

Y colorn colorado este

cuento se ha acabado y espero que

os haya gustado.

-You have chronic toy fever, Mr.

Wolf, explained the nurse.

-What do you mean chronic toy

fever? Ive never heard of that,

said the confused wolf.

The nurse responded, You have

so many toys that they dont serve

a purpose because no one can

play with them. It would be better

to have fewer toys for you, and to

be able to play with them with your

friends.

-So what can I do for a cure?

asked the wolf.

-Thats easy! Give a toy to each

one of your friends, and one to

every habitant of the forest and

the village, answered the nurse.

Then you will be able to share with

the rest of your toys. Youll see

how much better you feel

immediately, continued the nurse.

The wolf paid attention to the

nurse, he did what she said and in

no time at all he was cured.

Whats more is that everyone in

the forest and village had a new


27/49


toy as well. Now he had become

happy again even though he didnt

have as many toys. He had

learned to share with others. Now

lets say the refrain, The happiest

is not who has the most, but who

needs the least. And with that my

children, this tale has to come to

an end.

HISTORIAS DE DINILLO:1

Sucedi que a Dinillo le dio

amigos del cole que eran tontos por

todo: Se pasaba el da diciendo.

Eres tonto, eres tonta. La seo

Su mam y su pap tambin

sin contarle cuentos, sin embargo,

todo esto no serva para nada pues

LITTLE DINOSAURS LESSON

One day something strange

happened and Little Dinosaur

went through a phase and he

started calling all of his friends at

school stupid for everything. He

spent the whole day at school

saying, Youre stupid, so very

stupid, to everyone. The teacher,

Mrs. Dinosaur, scolded him good

and put him in the corner to think

about his actions; but it didnt

work. As soon as Little Dinosaur

went back to playing or working he

began insulting all of his Dinosaur

boy and girl comrades.

His Mom and Dad also scolded

him and punished him by not

letting him play with his new toys,

not go to the park, not being

allowed to play outside and not

telling him bedtime stories.

However, all of this didnt do a

thing and Little Dinosaur kept on

De qu color hay que pintar esta

Pero entonces la nica

contestacin que reciba a todas

sus preguntas era: Tonto.

De repente, Dinillo se levant y se

fue a la silla de pensar y se qued

all un buen rato. Finalmente

Dinillo dijo a todos los nios y

nias de la clase: Os quiero pedir

perdn a todos porque el tonto he

sido yo todo este tiempo. Prometo

no volver a insultar a nadie

Enseguida los otros dinosaurios lo

perdonaron.

Desde entonces nadie en

la clase le hace ni le dice nada

malo a otro dinosaurio porque

todos comprendieron que nadie es

mejor que nadie y que es mucho

mejor querer y amar que insultar y

despreciar.

with his craziness and saying

every minute, Youre stupid, so

very stupid. So, his friends

decided to teach him a lesson and

for a whole day when they spoke

with him, they didnt say anything

else but, Stupid.

-Can you pass me the scissors

please? - He asked to his

Triceratops friend.

-Stupid, replied the Triceratops.

How much longer till recess?

asked Little Dinosaur to a little

Stegosaurus girl.

What color do I have to color this

worksheet? he said to tall

Brontosaurus. But the only answer

he got for any of his questions was:

Stupid. Suddenly, Little Dinosaur

got up and went to the thinking chair

and stayed there for quite a while.

Finally, Little Dinosaur realized what

he had been doing was wrong. So

he said to all the dinosaur boys and

girls in his class: Hey, I just wanted

to ask forgiveness for the stupid

things Ive said and done all this

Y colorn, colorado este cuento se

time. I promise never to insult

anybody again. Right after he said

that the other dinosaurs forgave

Little Dinosaur. Since then, no one

in the class has said or has done

anything bad to the other dinosaurs

because they all understand that no

one is better than anyone else and

that its better to be nice to and love

others than to insult and hurt them.

And that is the end of the story my

children.

THE DEBATE OF THE

ANDALUSIAN PROVINCES

A long, long, time ago the eight

provinces of Andalusia began to

argue about who was the best

province of all.

Almeria said: I am the best since I

have fantastic beaches and

greenhouses where the best fruits

and vegetables are grown.

-Thats nothing, replied Cadiz. I

also have beautiful beaches and on

my lands the best horses in the world

are raised.

-Dont even talk, Cordoba

intervened, I have the Mosque

which is the envy of everyone who

comes and sees it.

-Whatever, whatever, I am the best,

said Granada. The Alhambra and

the Sierra Nevada mountain range

are here which beat anything you all

have to offer.

Pero, seris credas, -dijo Huelva-,

yo tengo unas gambas buensimas

en mis costas y el jamn de pata

negra.

Nada de nada, -aadi Mlaga-, yo

soy tan estupenda que todos los

turistas del mundo me visitan y

vienen a veranear aqu.

Por ltimo, Sevilla aadi, la

mejor soy yo que tengo la Giralda y

la catedral.

Y as estuvieron discutiendo un

buen rato, hasta que pas por all un

nio que les pregunt: Seoras, y

por qu en vez de discutir y de

pelearse tanto no se unen para

formar un territorio estupendo y

maravilloso?

Qu buena idea! Gritaron

las ocho a la vez. Y entonces

decidieron que ya no pelearan

ms y que era mucho mejor formar

todas juntas la Comunidad

Autnoma de Andaluca a la que

aportaran todas sus riquezas. Y

-And me? said Jaen. I have the

best olive trees that produce the best

Olive Oil in the world and La Sierra

de Cazorla.

-Ok ok, you guys are full of

yourselves, said Huelva. I have the

best prawns, coastlines, and the

famous Pata NegraHam.

-Thats still nothing, added Malaga.

I am so wonderful that tourists from

around the world come to visit me

and spend their whole summers on

my beaches.

-Last but not least, Sevilla added, I

am the best because Ive got La

Giraldaand the Cathedral.

And in this way, the eight provinces

argued for quite a while until finally a

little child passed by and asked

them: Why are you arguing and

fighting so much instead of uniting

and forming a beautiful territory

made up of all the provinces?

Well gee,I dont know, they said to

themselves.

-Oh yeah, said Malaga and Cadiz.

-Why of course, exclaimed


33/49


desde ese da viven muy

contentas, felices y guapas.



Granada and Almeria.

-How stupid we were, replied

Sevilla and Huelva.

-Why didnt we think of that?

agreed Cordoba and Jaen.

What a great idea, they all said at

the same time. And so it was, that

they decided not to quarrel and fight

anymore and that it would be much

better to join forces and form the

Autonomous Community of

Andalucia. This way they could

contribute all of their best qualities.

And since that day they have all lived

happily ever after.

teacher one day, What is

Andalusia? The teacher was

going to answer him when

suddenly they looked at the clock

and realized it was time for the

kids to go home. Ill tell you

tomorrow, the teacher promised

Peter with her happy and caring

voice. Yeah, whatever, thought

Peter, and got in line to leave.

That night, just like every other

night, he hugged his Dinosaur,

Spike, and went to sleep. But

then, he heard Spike announce:

All aboard on me and were going

to go to Andalusia! And riding on

Spikes back, they began to fly

over all Andalusia.

They began in Almeria: Peter saw

its beaches, its greenhouses and

its famous fortress, La Al-cazaba.

After that, they went on towards

Granada: they arrived to the

got lost in the endless olive fields

of Jaen and admired the beauty of

La Sierra de Cazorla. They also

visited the Mosque in Cordoba

and when they got hungry they

flew to the coast of Malaga and

ate delicious fried seafood.

What an amazing journey! I am

so happy and content to be

Andalusian. I never imagined that

all of this was Andalucia, said

Peter, full of emotion.

Spike then shouted back, Well,

weve still got a lot ahead. Hold

on tight! Later on, they arrived to

they saw the Giralda and the

EL PAS DE LOS NIOS

Hace muchos aos haba un

pas en el que no existan nios ni

y era tremendamente aburrido,

triste, sombro y gris. No haba

dulces ni juegos ni risas ni nada de

nada.

Entonces un da aparecieron

unos nios. Enseguida, en cuanto

se enteraron de su llegada, los

viejos Maltrato y Trabajo y la vieja

Discriminacin tuvieron la siguiente

charla:

1. No podemos permitir que

estos nios mocosos estropeen

nuestro mundo.

2. Estoy de acuerdo. Los

pondremos a trabajar sin

descanso, los maltrataremos y

los discriminaremos todo lo que

podamos.

Y se echaron a rer maliciosamente.

Los pobres nios cayeron

KID COUNTRY

A long, long time ago there was a

country where little boys and girls

didnt exist. There were only adults

and it was terribly boring, sad,

somber and grey. There were no

sweets, nor games, nor laughter or

anything else of the sort.

So, one day there appeared a group

of children in the country of adults.

The adults did not like this,

especially three certain ones.

Shortly after, as soon as the country

heard of their arrival, the two oldest

members of the society whose

names were Mistreatment and

Work, and the oldest woman whose

name was Discrimination had the

following conversation together:

- We cant let this pesky kids

destroy our world, said

Mistreatment.

- I agree. We will put them to

work with no break, treat them

bad and discriminate against

them as much as we can, added

Work.

seguan siendo ellos mismos.

Haban podido conservar su

imaginacin y la esperanza de un

mundo mejor.

Cuando llegaba la noche

lloraban y lloraban hasta que por fin

sus lgrimas subieron a las estrellas

y llegaron hasta la Estrella Lola.

-Quines sois? Les pregunt la

estrella Lola.

-Somos las lgrimas de los nios

del pas sin nios.

-Qu? Por qu lloran los nios?

- Maltrato, Discriminacin y Trabajo

los tienen bajo su poder.

- Eso no se puede consentir de

ningn modo. Ahora mismo voy a

enviar a mis compaeras para que

esto se termine ya.

Y as las estrellas Educacin,

Familia, Atencin, y Alimentacin

fueron a socorrer a los nios al

instante. Lo primero que hicieron fue

hablar con ellos.

- Haha! Perfect. Were so bad,

laughed Discrimination.

And they all began to laugh,

wickedly.

The poor children were now under

their power, but even still, they

continued being themselves. They

were able to keep their imagination

and dream of a better world. When

night would arrive, they would cry

and cry until finally their tears

reached the stars and were heard

by the star Pamela.

Who are you? asked Pamela.

We are the tears of the children

from the country without children.

What? Why are the children

crying?

They are crying because

Mistreatment, Work and

Discrimination have them under

their power and are being very

mean to them.

This cannot go on in any way,

shape or form. At this very moment

Im going to send my friends to end

this now!

Salieron corriendo detrs de

los tres viejos y los pillaron al acto.

Los viejos enseguida empezaron a

decir:

And with that, the stars Education,

Family, Attention, and Nourishment

went to help the children

immediately. The first thing they did

was speak with them.

-Hello, beautiful children! What are

your names?

-Oh! Who are you who are so nice

and caring?

-We are your rights. We are the

stars of all rights.

-Our rights? asked the three

children Joseph, Sarah and Matt.

Before the stars of the rights arrived,

no one had called the children by

their real names. How great it felt!

-Why, yes. You all have your rights

now and no one is going to separate

you from us.

-Discrimination, Mistreatment and

Work have left us like this,

explained the kids.

-Thats what we thought. They are

going to pay for this. How bad they

have been!

They went running after the old

adults and caught them in their act.

a vivir con los nios y los mayores y

entre todos formaron una sociedad

feliz llena de risas y de alegra en la

que los adultos cuidaban de los

nios y los nios respetaban a los

adultos.

Dicen que algunas noches se

oyen gritos extraos en el bosque.

The old ones began to say

-Oh please, no. We didnt do

And before they could finish their

sentence the stars of the rights

locked them up in a box and put

them in the deepest part of the

earth down, down, deep down.

So it happened just like this that the

rights: Education, Family, Attention,

and Nourishment stayed to live with

the kids and the other nice adults

and between them they formed a

society full of laughter and joy where

adults looked after kids and kids

respected adults.

Some still say that at night you can

hear cries of despair echoing in the

forest. Some say they are from

wolves but others say they are the

cries of Mistreatment, Discrimination

and Work begging for help. But that

is another story altogether.

A Story to Build Relationships

HOW THE PRONOUNS MET THE VERBS

Once upon a time the personal pronouns I, you, it, he, she, we, you and they

One day, the personal pronouns thought it would be a good idea to travel.

Perhaps they would meet with other words. So they packed their suitcases and drove

across the Planet. They visited lots of cities, where words and words lived, but, they felt

alone and sad. Finally, they arrived to the city of the verbs, in the West. Here, they met

with the forms of the present of the verb to be: am, are, is,. They spoke for a long time

and started to feel very happy. Then they decided to live there. They got married and

bought eight houses:

In the first house lived the personal pronoun I and the form am

In the second house lived the personal pronoun you and the form are

In the third house lived the personal pronoun it and the form is

In the fourth house lived the personal pronoun he and the form is

In the fifth house lived the personal pronoun she and the form is

In the seventh house lived the personal pronoun you and the form are

And In the eighth house lived the personal pronoun they and the form are
