THE SUN, THE CLOUDS AND STARS
Story

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a country where it was always raining, raining and raining, with torrential rain all day, every day for years and years. And there lived a little boy, in a cottage in the mountains with his dad and his dog.
I was nine, and every day of your life, it had rained and rained all day and all night.
Can youimagine it always raining and always wet?
People were always telling him that before he was born, had been a strange thing called a sun was a big, round and yellow, which gave warmth and light to everyone and everything. And always had a smile on your face big, round and yellow. And, seeing that smile in the sun, people looked at him and smiled back.
The little boy could not imagine in your mindthe idea of a big, round, yellow, smiling. And I could not believe that people could look and smile, because in her village nobody smiled, they all looked sad.
One day, people began to comment that the skies seemed a little clearer. It was still raining and the black clouds were still hanging from the sky, but it did seem clearer.
The next day, people began to comment more, that day it wasraining so.
The next day, it only rained half the day.
The other, there were only a few showers, and trickled from time and when.
And the next, it stopped raining, the next, all the clouds were white. One more day and bits of blue sky appeared.
Suddenly, there were no clouds and a big, round, yellow was floating in the sky, giving warmth and light to everyone.
And the people looked up and smiledto see it because I had a big, beaming smile.
And the little boy sat on his bed and saw through the window, a thing he had only heard stories that could be stories: a big, round and yellow in the sky with a big smile on his face. That must be the sun! The boy said, smiling back. He ran through the streets, seeing that everyone was smiling.

LAKE MONSTERS
Story

Once upon a time, in avillage near Brussels, called Tervuren,
had a large park, and in the middle of the park had a huge forest;
and in that forest, there was a dark and gloomy lake
in which there lived a monster named Monsta.
Monsta had eaten all the monsters living in the lake
and all children who came to the lake
and thus had a huge belly and round;
it was so great that when the monster moved,
 I crawled on thefloor and to move better,
I had to cling to the branches of trees around the lake,
and they were all falling and almost half the height of the water.

Monsta, the monster was hungry, I was hungry;
there was nothing to eat, he had eaten all the monsters
and children and not go near the lake because they were afraid.
Until one day, near the lake, there was a group
of children playing soccerand a little boy gave him a
patadon the ball came to rest near a corner of the lake.
Monsta, which had more hungry every day, looked at that thing
round, near the corner of the lake, and thought I could eat.
So he went to the corner, dragging its belly and
hold onto the branches of trees and a mouthful, swallowed the ball.

Then, monsters and children who were inside the gut,
began toplay a football match between them,
and a monster gave a kick to the ball it exploded.
All the air the ball went out and began to swell and gut
swell until it too exploded.

Then all the monsters came out of the gut
and all the children ran to their houses to tell their parents
we're here and tell them everything that had happened.
Monsta's stomach was no longer big and round
and did nottouch the ground and he was thin.
He could walk without holding on to tree branches
and also had friends.
There were more monsters in the lake and could play with them.
Monsta then thought I will not eat more monsters and more children.

And from that moment, Monsta only ate the fruits of
 trees near the lake.
And when the children approached the shore,
Monsta gave them a tour of the lake...
