Petri and the labyrinth of mirrors

Petri and the labyrinth of mirrors:

Once upon a time, long ago, in a beautiful country called Russia, there was a beautiful Queen altruistic and generous as I had never before existed in any other Kingdom.

She tried to distribute the wealth of his country in a balanced manner so that all its people could enjoy the same comfort and the same luxuries and that these were not intended only to a few.

She was responsible for many parties and festivities that came to the other people in distant locations, as the Queen wanted to share with them her joy and happiness for life and for his beloved Russian people.Rusia highlighted by the harmony of its streets, the beauty of the dresses designed with a film-coated tablets and striking style that many people from other places came to be able to buy. It was a beautiful village, not only externally, if not that the people had a natural beauty internal, since despite having many material goods were able to share them cheerful and carefree with other people. This was the spirit that the Eslovana had desired for her people and that she had so carefully cultivated.

Dresses were exposed day after day in shop Windows and people enjoyed just approaching and looking the perfection with which had been elaborated. Many neighbouring tailors went to check how it had been prepared but did not find explanation before so much grandeur and symmetry.

The days spent happily in the Russian people. Petri was the daughter of the great host who organized the festivities, was just a twelve year old girl, but she loved to work decorating the tables of the guests with beautiful flowers that she herself was responsible for caring for in your small greenhouse. Petri loved the Queen Eslovana. As her mom died when she was a little girl, there were transfer its ideal of mother figure in it and often Eslovana told her children's stories and sang songs to fill the small Petri sweetheart.

A day of suddenly everything began to change in Russia, they began to feel some voices announcing that a strange character had installed on the outskirts of the town with strange purposes.

From that moment the air began to change and the people of Russia began to feel a grudge, pride and selfishness that had never felt before. Eslovana began to worry, because the harmony and balance that had both fought began to fade.

And it is that not far from there, Malasangre tailor was developing a plan to destroy Russia. He had been considered one of the most famous worldwide tailors, until the Queen Eslovana appeared with its harmony and perfection and the Russians began to produce patterns for dresses many more beautiful than those which he performed. Meticulously studied the patterns of the Russians, to study them, copy them and improve them, but it gave account the perfection of them owed only to the way in as had been elaborated. They were so perfect because they were built by people who gave off their hands through altruism, kindness and love of neighbour. He never could copy them because it lacked these qualities. It could never get to do them the same way and therefore could never again be considered the best tailor in Russia. This frustration made Malasangre tailor designed a plan to do away with the goodness and harmony in Russia and that in this way not be could continue to develop those wonderful dresses. So little by little he was thinking how these qualities could rob them and quickly found a solution. It would be responsible for designing and distributing by all Russia mirrors that were able to capture the emotions and positive qualities of the Russian people. Thus, if its people no longer had these qualities dresses that design would no longer be equal and they would lose all the fame and prestige which until now had.

So this way he began to create a few mirrors which were able to capture all the positive emotion of people that were reflected in them. The Russian people, to look through of the mirrors, would lose his kindness, altruism, joy and benevolence that would be replaced by the reflection of the evil emotions of Malasangre tailor.

All positive emotions would be registered in the mirrors that the tailor would accumulate in a large room distributed by enormous halls, in which when he has looked, captured the beauty of altruistic love that was in them and in this way could build so perfect dresses as they that had been performed on all Russia.

When mirrors were ready, he took quietly distribute them around the village. It sold them at low prices or replaced by the existing putting any excuse so that the Russians would have to buy them. In this way all the houses and establishments had soon malignant tailor mirrors.

For this reason, Russia began to feel the absence of love, of kindness and altruism that earlier it had and its nations began to feel sensations and emotions that supposed the destruction of the harmony of the wonderful people. Up to the queen Eslovana it lost these qualities, since after she looked in one of them, its emotions that remained retained in it forever.

Began all invade the pride, selfishness and vanity. Dresses ceased to be manufactured and already no more parties in the town were held. The Russians had lost its harmony except Petri.

Petri was the only one who had not lost their qualities, although she looked in the mirrors of the malignant tailor, their emotions were not lost in the reflection, remained alongside her.But anyway she was feeling very sad on having verified that the rest of its partners, relatives and friends had lost its positive feelings.

Petri was very lonely before so much malignant emotion, was trying to find an explanation for her people to be before again, but was not the reason that made that persons would have transformed the way.

He thought that possibly the explanation lay in that strange character who for a time had installed on the outskirts of Russia.

So one day he decided to go out and inspect the ground accompanied by Holly her little hamster. She went with her small bicycle towards the outskirts of the town and reached the House of abroad. Stealthy way looked through the small window that gave to the dining room of the instance and thence collection dresses Malasangre tailor was compiling looked stunned:

-Do you have seen that Holly?-said Petri managing your Hamster. Are like the dresses that we did before. They are like ours, and now it seems this strange tailor made them with the same perfection that we did before losing our wonderful emotions - you said sadly Petri.

-Maybe this relates what has been happening in our town - continued meditating for herself Petri

Suddenly, malignant tailor rose from the Chair, headed towards the fireplace and high reached a big key with fell it down the stairs.

-These stairs will lead to where? -Petri exclaimed frightened. Perhaps there we will find the answers to our questions.

Petri remained hours and hours waiting for the tailor to appear, again but was made too late and had to return to her house where were probably waiting for dinner. So she decided to leave and return the next day to try to get into home to tailor and see that he hid under the stairs.

The day following Petri again very early Malasangre tailor House. Luckily this was sleeping peacefully in his room. She had to take at that time to enter the House of the tailor and get the key.

So stealthy way Petri sneaks out the back window and slid along the ground until it reaches the chimney where the tailor hiding the key. Once she gave scope descended the stairs and found that a large metal door was at the end of the large attic.

-This must be the door that opens up this big key - Petri told Holly. Now is the time to check what is happening, while the tailor is asleep. You stay here and if you see that the tailor begins to wake up, look in my search for notify me - said Petri dishes without any fear of its small hamster.

Holly listened attentively the instructions of his dear friend and alert remained at the top of the door from where could check the movements of the tailor.

Petri repeatedly turned the key and opened the door knob. When she crossed the door could check with amazement a large maze of mirrors was distributed by throughout the Hall. She was astonished when found that each of the mirrors reflected images of people from the people of Russia. Many of them reflect harmony, others reflect peace and charity, altruism, kindness and many other more images are happening one after the other in each of them. The maze was eternal. Thousands of mirrors are oriented in zigzag and circle discovering what appeared to be a path toward hidden somewhere.

Holly suddenly appeared running and moaning telling his housekeeper of the tyrant had woken up and that was headed for the stairs.

Thanks Holly. We will now place behind that mirror - said Petri. But you will have to leave the key where it was, until the tailor discover it isn't there. I wait you here to see him appear and try to follow him through the interior of the maze to see where leads the way of mirrors.

And that said Petri ceded key your Hamster that with slight difficulties could leave the key in place until the tailor might miss it.

After awhile Petri listened to again open the door of the attic and saw appear to tailor followed closely by Holly, which for the moment remained unnoticed in the eyes of Malasangre but could not be neglected since the tailor was accompanied by his enormous cat black that accompanied it as if it were his shadow.

-Well my dear Walter, have already arrived to my precious precincts of reflexes. Finally I will be able return to nourish all the good emotions of the people of Russia and continue putting together my wonderful dresses that I can sell at very high prices and thus return to regain my reputation, my fame and above all, my wealth - said clean laugh tailor your big cat.

-So that is what - she thought to herself the sweet Petri. He has manufactured these mirrors to capture the positive emotions of my dear family and friends of Russia and has left its perfidious reflection of dark feelings – instead- said Petri. I have to do something to return emotions each one of them to regain harmony in my town.-continued meditating Petri.

In a leisurely manner Petri followed closely the tailor who led them through numerous secret passages that formed a strange maze. When they arrived at the end of the failed check that Centre was a large mirror with gold and diamonds from which could see the reflection of the Queen Eslovana.

-Look at Walter. Eslovana each day dawns beautiful and pure in its reflection. But as soon as I look at me through him, those emotions will be mine and with them the rest of the mirrors of all citizens of Russia - said exclaiming maliciously watching your cat that remained by his side in perpetual manner.

-Oh my God!, no can be. It is the reflection of Eslovana!-very alarmed Petri said. So each day the perfidious tailor looks at her reflection and he steals all their positive emotions. Look who comes to be evil this Malasangre tailor!

When the tailor finished look in the reflection of Eslovana his spirit returned to regain positive energy.

-Let's go Walter to continue making more perfect and beautiful dresses to sell - said malasangre.

Petri followed the tailor again for the labyrinth trying to remember the way but she verified that it was turning out to be very difficult to foresee the trip since it had been strategically designing so that nobody with the exception of the tailor could come up to the central room of the mirror of Eslovana.

Petri had to wait inside the maze until the next day to the tailor to appear again. Taking advantage of that loft door left open it could go outside and it was able to meet with your beloved pet.

Hey Holly! How do I you've missed?- said affectionately to his hamster. I have discovered many new things that later I'll explain. We have to work together to develop a plan to defeat the tailor malasangre- said very serious Petri dish

When she reached home , Petri meditated for long time the manner in how might return to the people their lost emotions.

-Seems to be the primary mirror is who has retained the Eslovana reflex - Petri told Holly. If we could reach him without that tailor to give you account...-continued reflecting Petri.

-Then if someone was reflected in him it been Eslovana emotions also.-She continued thinking Petri.

If we could bring Eslovana to the inside of the labyrinth and that she will reflect in your mirror their emotions would return once again with her, but the rest of reflections would continue staying in other mirrors - said discouraged Petri

-But is already, Holly, I have the solution!-exalted said Petri.

We will take a night to introduce us in the labyrinth, we will seek help from your friends hamsters which will tour around the maze reflecting on each of the mirrors. They commandeer retained positive emotions and will return to the village will be where to look in the mirrors of the people. When every emotion is back in the mirrors from source, we will make that all citizens return to look through them and thus they regain their lost positive emotions. Then we will destroy all evil mirrors of the houses and establishments to prevent it from producing the same situation again. Negative emotions return mirrors the tailor that as soon as he look in the mirror of Eslovana you only will find their dirty emotions which never had to leave him.

-I will while both stay hidden in the maze hoping that you arrive to let me know that all mirrors of the village have been destroyed and start with the second part of the plan.

Clearer once the first part of the plan, Petri decided that they could start the next day at night, when the tailor and his enormous cat to remain asleep.

The following day Petri departed accompanied by an army of friends Holly hamsters. They were quietly introduced in the House of the tailor and opened the door of the attic. All hamsters began to tour the flooded road of mirrors and were picking up inside each of the emotions until you reach the room of the primary mirror. Thanks to the good orientation that hamsters have not fared very difficult to find the way back.

-Well done friends! - said Petri hugging each and every one of her small friends. You must now return to the town and let the emotions each one in its respective reflection. Then give this note to my father so that he destroy all mirrors. When they are destroyed come to warn me to begin the second part of the plan. I'll wait your notice - said Petri Holly who listened carefully.

Hamsters returnd to the village and thanks to Petri all the emotions came back harmony to Russia. Holly gave the note to the father of Petri which was responsible for destroying the mirrors.

Now it was missing delete to tailor not back again plotting another perfidious plan that ended with the Russian balance.

The next day as every day tailor went to the attic to look in the reflection of Eslovana.

While heading toward the attic was thinking of the amount of new dresses that built that day.

Holly suddenly appeared in front of the eyes of Walter who was left astonished seeing it go throughout the room and began to chase him around the House.

-Good Walter. Today you have another slaughter .Traps that stupid mouse while I ran the labyrinth. I hope that when you turn that bug is gone - said alarmed the tailor.

The tailor went as usual to the attic and was touring the different corridors. Holly desperately followed Walter was approaching behind him. The second part of the plan was to have effect. The cat when it had come to the corridor of the mirrors remained surprised seeing in all the mirrors the reflex of the hamsters that Petri during the whole night she(it) had drawn in them. When he(it) was approaching the mirrors to reach to the drawings of the hamsters, it was hitting each of them and this way the cat was accumulating the negative emotions accumulated in each of them.

Once the cat captured the emotions mirrors were empty with nothing to return to reflect anymore.

Petri and Holly went to the exit of the maze before the tailor realized what was happening and with a great noise closed door main of the attic forever sealing it with a large padlock that never more tailor could exit the maze.

Malasangre Meanwhile reached the main hall.

-Hello lovely Eslovana - said laughing tailor. Offer me your wonderful emotions in today that I want to finish several dresses.

But to his astonishment when the tailor looked in the mirror only discovered the image of a black cat devoid of emotions.

With great horror in his voice, he began to shout desperately, crying and screaming with rage that was transformed into a big Meow.

In this moment he realized into what it had turned. On the outside it was human but internally it had cat soul.

At that time appeared desperate Walter looking for hamster, full of negative emotions of his beloved master.

Thus Petri fought around the village of evil tailor and thereby returned to reign the harmony in the country of Russia.

They currently say that the meows of tailor within the interior of the labyrinth accompanied always his great black cat can be still heard.

It is for this reason that arises the belief that negative energy is attracted to black cats and cause bad luck when one crosses your path. And it is for this reason also that great sorcerers and witches are accompanied always by black cats since they need each other, in the same way that the tailor and Walter complement each other due to the separation of their energies caused by the exchange of their reflections in mirrors malignant.

And we can not set aside good hamsters and the fame they got for being a few animals very ready and able to find the exit before any labyrinth.

It is not quite true is that the breaking of mirrors cause bad luck since for Petri and the Russian village marked the return to peace and the harmony that should never be seized kindly people of Russia.

And this story is over Colorín colorado.
