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.

Lola in the Witch's train

Lola in the Witch's train:

As every year at the College of Lola held the day of chestnuts rich attending the Park's Halloween . This park is a big amusement park located on the outskirts of her town in Salamanca.

All her friends are very excited and pleased thinking in the magnificent day that pass all together in the Park and in the amount of attractions that may be mounted. Lola and friends of the College have decided to attend the Park dressed up and prepare very happy a bag full of sweet potatoes and chestnuts rich for snacking. They have very carefully chosen their costumes. Some will go dresses of penguins, other elephants and some will be disguised as a polar bear.

All await impatient in the door of the school to the school coach carry them to the amusement park.

-Watch Lola! There comes the College coach - said Pedro thrilled with his disguise of whale seeing approaching the coach.

-Yes, it is true! It has finally arrived - exclaimed Victor who was dressed as orang-utan.

All the mothers waited also impatient that children finished uploading to the coach and be able to say goodbye to them until the afternoon when they return of the excursion.

The coach quickly reached its destination. Javier, Lola and Victor looked excited about the Windows admiring the gardens and the different food stalls that were in the main entrance of amusement park.

When they got off the coach realized that was not the only school that had decided to celebrate the day of chestnuts rich in the amusement park. Many other children gathered at the entrance, equally disguised to the park opened its doors.

-Come guys! -the teacher Yolanda told the children. You can enter. Remember that you have to go all of the little hand and two by two. Any unforeseen event that can occur or if someone is lost, remember that we were to find us at the front door of the Park - explained Yolanda before the watchful eyes of the boys.

-Lola and Victor will go together. Show me. Teresa and Peter. Margaret and Elena...

And in this way the teacher guided children and was grouping them by pairs.

The first attraction that rose was the great roller coaster where Lola screamed and screamed without stopping before the speed with which the small stroller took the curves.

Then they went up to the pirate ship, the Ferris wheel and other many attractions that the kids enjoyed so cute .

Suddenly Yolanda was nervous and alarmed, since they had realized that a couple of kids had disappeared.

-You've seen Lola and Victor- Yolanda asked restless at the rest of children's

-Long time ago that we have not seen them - said several children choir.

Right now I will go at the main entry and will ask the manager of the park to warn them for public address system – Yolanda said in a worried tone.

Meanwhile, alien to what was happening in the group, Lola and Victor laughed unconcerned looking Witch's train.

-Lola, what do you think if we got on the train of the witch? - Said Victor to Lola very convinced

-Yes, agree. Let's go. I love the witches- Lola said.

The children were so excited about traveling amusement park who had not given account that had separated much of the rest of the group.

Carefree way they hopped on the bandwagon of the witch.

-Victor! You've given account that we are alone - said Lola which at that time realized that they had lost.

-Because it is true. With the excitement I had not realized - said Victor.

- But don't worry. When we go down we will go to the main gate where we've been with Yolanda and there we will get together with the rest of our friends - concreted Victor.

The children climbed the small cart that was part of the train and waited for the train to be put up.

The train began to whistle and whistle announcing the arrival of the witch who gave evict over the heads of all the children, screaming and exhaling:

-I am going to eat, I will eat! -said the Witch by shaking their big broom.

- Watch Victor, there comes the witch again! -Lola screamed very happy when she saw appear her.

But suddenly something happened in the small train and the stroller where they were seated Victor and Lola fumbled the main wagon and fell rolling and rolling through the tunnel of the witch inside.

Victor and Lola were extended on the ground. Once they recovered from the fright, stood up and realized there that they had landed inside a strange cave illuminated by small lights indicating a path towards the interior.

-Lola, believe that our wagon loosened the train - said Victor.

-We need to find the exit of the tunnel. Perhaps these small lanterns indicate to us the output - said very convinced Victor.

-But it is very dark. And if it is not the correct output?-asked Lola something scared .
-We have another alternative. On that side it is darker still and we can see virtually nothing. It is best to follow this other path that is somewhat more enlightened - said Victor to Lola trying to cheer her sweetly.



The two boys decided to take that path. Watched as they walked to her around scared fearing that it appeared some ghost or someone else be evil from the inside of the tunnel. Victor seemed to read the thoughts of Lola and whispered to the ear:

-Don't worry. No Ghost will not appear. And I if it appears will defend with my claws of orangutang - said Victor caressing the little hand of Lola.

When they arrived at the end of the tunnel, a great Golden Gate opened step inside a room. In it the children were amazed by what you just see in its interior.
- But where are we? -shouting Lola. And what do all these dogs locked in these huge cages? - Asked Victor to astonished remained equally surprised.

- Perhaps this is a kennel or some type of daycare for dogs - Victor said confidently.

- But do not appear to be very happy. And see very little care. Also have you noticed that all are of different races - said Lola very attentive observing from afar to the puppies.
But until they could finally understand what was happening, they saw suddenly appear to the Witch of the train, who came with her great broom given blows to the walls of the tunnel.
- But if you're here my defenceless dogs - said in a cruel and wicked tone.

Soon you will disappear of my sight and with you all the horrible dogs that surround the face of the ground the witch said laughing with laughter.

-This night with the full moon will end my spell with which I will destroy all species and breeds of dogs that flood my existence - she said stroking a glass vial that seemed to contain the potion of a strange enchantment.
-Have you heard that? -said Victor quietly to Lola. This odious witch wants to kill puppies. We have to do something to prevent it.
-So is that evil witch. Because she should want to kill them? -asked Lola.
I do not know. But we have no time to lose. We have to get rid of the potion and after the wicked witch - said Victor.

-And I who thought that this witch wasn't so bad! - Lola said sadly. To me I have always liked the witches - said almost sobbing.

-Well, I guess that witches that are not so bad - will have said Victor trying to encourage to Lola.



When the witch came, dogs began to be rabid and barking and barking all at once. Suddenly the witch took out of pocket a clove of Unicorn and with him in his hand said some magic words and all dogs stopped barking instantly and fell asleep.
-So you decrease of protest for awhile and I decrease work quiet - said the witch back to put the tooth of Unicorn in your pocket.

-Have ever seen that Lola? - said Victor going to Lola. My mother. This witch knows it all. We have to wait to dogs become to awaken and then distract the witch. We will leave the room and to go towards the entrance of the tunnel. When you are away, we will reach the key that unlocks padlocks for puppies and will release them. Once they are free they may attack the Witch and we run out of here. Notify the police of what the witch has tried to do with these dogs - Victor explained in detail to Lola.


-You Lola will be in charge of distracting the witch doing noises and forcing her to go to investigate out of the room. When she is far, I will go in search of the key and will open all the cages where the puppies are. We us have to hurry up, before it gets dark and the witch applies its malevolent potion on them - Víctor said.

-Of agree.-answered somewhat worried Lola.


After awhile it was time to begin to implement its strategic plan. Lola ran without be seen towards the front of the tunnel and started making noises launching ground chestnuts had in his beautiful backpack. The witch, as soon as she heard noise outside the room, was immediately to verify that it was what was happening. When the witch was headed for the tunnel, Victor ran out in search of the key, with the bad luck that he stumbled and fell on the ground rolling. The witch turned and saw Victor spread on the floor. Suddenly exclaimed:

- But you can know what is happening here? -said the witch to Victor.

But if it's a new puppy ! What strange race will this dog be?.I had never seen anything similar. How has he come so far? Surely there will come sniffing the tunnel in search of the rest of dogs - concluded the witch.



And that said the witch collected soil Victor and imprisoned him with other dogs. And it is the witch, not seen very well, mistook Victor with a dog thanks to its famous orangutang costume.

-Oh my God! - thought Lola when she realized that the witch had gotten to Victor in one of the cages. And now that I do?-said sobbing Lola.








But what Lola didn't know was that Victor, in neglect of the witch when she wanted to lift him from the ground, he had failed to reach the tooth of Unicorn that was inside of her pocket. He now had it and he expect timely to explain it to Lola and be able to apply the spell on the witch. But at that time Victor was alarmed that he could not remember the words of the incantation that the witch had spoken.

- Now I do not remember the words that the witch spoke . I hope Lola remember them - thought Victor in doubtful condition.

-Good. I already I have all the breeds of dogs that exist around the world, more one - said laughing witch heading towards Victor who was trying to remain still and silent so that the witch does not realize the mistake that she had been made confusing him with a puppy.

-It is time to rest awhile, that tonight expected me a hard job doing my great enchantment with these puppies - said the witch.

And having said this went to sofa where ordered to rest awhile.

When the witch closed her eyes and started snoring, Victor whistled a few times with care to warn Lola that she come quickly where he was.

Lola was very slowly beside Victor.

-Look , Victor I can leverage to try to reach the key now that the witch is asleep - Lola told Victor.

-No, we do something better. We cannot risk not to make noise and wake up until you can get the key. So better we will do another thing. Look, I have the tooth of Unicorn - said Victor teaching Lola tooth.
As you did it? -asked Lola

-I have stolen it to the witch while she ducked to pick me up from the floor - said Victor. We could administer the incantation so that she will not wake in a long time and give us time to release the dogs while she realizes. But I can not remember the magic words.


-I do remember them!-exclaimed Lola. I was very careful when she uttered them. She said aloud and pointing to the dogs “Three words without reason, will hear your ears and with my inert tooth, you will fall asleep suddenly”

-Very well, because it takes the tooth and go to the side of the witch. Runs, looks fast - said Victor.



Lola took the tooth and she went towards the witch who when she felt her smell began to open the eyes.
- But that makes this girl here? -cried the witch alarmed.

But Lola did not let her react as she immediately gave the magic spell and with tooth in hand she exclaimed:

-"Three words without reason, will hear your ears and with my inert tooth, you will fall asleep suddenly”

At once the witch fell down again in a very deep sleep and Lola helter-skelter ran in search of the key. With the key in the hand she began to open all the cages and the pups began to go out of each of them, very satisfied and licking affectionately Lola been grateful for having liberated them

Well, now we will have to liberate ourselves of the witch - Víctor said. We will imprison her inside one of the cages and will warn the police so that he takes her charge - Víctor said.

And with the help of dogs, they went to the witch still asleep inside the cage.


-Come on, let's go fast! -Victor it told Lola.


-No Victor. I want to stay to wait for the witch wakes up. I do not want to go without knowing the reasons why the witch wanted to get rid of all dogs - said sadly Lola. Gives me great sorrow leave it here alone.

- But Lola! You know already. She is not a good witch. It looks at what she was trying to do. We cannot risk which she wakes up and applies to you other of its conjurations - Víctor said.

At that time the witch awoke and when she saw that all puppies had been released and that she now was in the cage, to the surprise of Victor and Lola, she began to weep and cry desperately.





- But look at all those puppies out of the cage - said crying witch. It cannot be that my effort has been in vain. It is not possible that these Brats have pulled by land all my magnificent plan - said the witch crying non-stop.

The small Lola came up beside her and quietly said:

Do not cry any more . It is not possible that now you cry when you wanted to get rid of all these puppies - Lola told the witch.
-Tell me. Why reason wanted delete them? You haven't seen the beautiful which are - said Lola.

-As you'll see. I hate them because really never could have them as pet in my house when I was tiny - said the witch who continued crying and crying non-stop.

- But why not could?-said Lola.


-My parents, two sorcerers well known in the world of the imagination from where I come from, did not allow it me. I little loved dogs and wanted to devote to them. I wanted it to be my pet with reference to all my spells and spells. My parents did not agree that chose a dog, they had always used cats as a pet reference and I could not break years of generation and family tradition. The case was, based on trying to convince me of the impossibility of having a dog as a pet reference, I started to have problems with dog hair allergy during every spring. It went really wrong for many seasons. So finally I ended up hating the dogs and I left home by the anger and frustration felt by not having seen fulfilled my dream. So coming to this amusement park to live, reclusive and exile forever with the only company of this broom - bitterly said the witch.

- And for this reason want to now destroy all puppies of the universe? - said Lola stroking the hair of the witch.

-So. I decided to put an end to all of them, since if I could not have them by my allergy problem, nobody in this world would get them as pet-said the witch drying tears with his big black hat.

-Well - Lola said. I now understand a little bit more. I knew that you weren't all bad. Anyway we need to find another solution to your problem.



-You know what? -continued explaining Lola. Of little girl my parents always read me tales of witches and I imagined that it was one of them and flying with my broom touring countries and places with my magic wand. I was delighted to be able to apply your tooth Unicorn on you spell. But you know what? I would have liked a lot more if the spell had been for something much more positive and directed toward the well - said with sadness Lola.

Meanwhile, Victor remained silent listening to Lola and the witch becoming confidences one another next to all puppies who remained expectantly watching the witch crying in this way.Suddenly something occurred to him.


-I already have the solution to your problem! -said Victor excited thinking about the wonderful idea that had. Why don't you apply a spell in positive? Do not you ever thought that instead of deleting all the puppies you could do something better? You could apply yourself a spell to make disappear your allergy problem - said Victor excited before the gaze of Lola and the witch.

-That is! We can make together a spell so your problem disappears and this way you can choose a puppy as a pet reference. :You'll see compliment your dream- exclaimed Lola.

And that way Lola, Victor and the witch began to carve a new spell that would apply that same night together. Together they a new elaborate potion based on chestnuts and sweet potatoes that Lola had in her backpack. Then they gave it to prove to the Witch and taking the Unicorn clove between your hands, the three spoke out these new magic words to make the witch back stop your allergies and back to feel love and respect by puppies and other animals:



"With my sweet sound, a new light will reach your hatred and through this enchantment, your allergy problem will disappear in a moment"


And that was how the witch regained her love for dogs and could see fulfilled their desire to have a dog as a pet reference. Only thereafter applied spells to do good. She had regained her joy for life and the satisfaction of well find herself thanks to Victor and Lola.



All the dogs were returned to their former owners anxiously waiting the return of them
Lola also saw fulfilled her dream of applying spells and potions as all a witch Lady.
When they arrived back at the amusement park all their colleagues held that they had returned unharmed the strange experience that they had in the Witch's train.

From this point on, many young people everywhere celebrate together the day of the chestnut and meet costumed night Recalling the experience that had Victor and Lola in the Witch's train. And it is for this reason that currently identified the time of chestnuts and sweet potatoes with witches, wizards and sorcerers and it is called in many places as the night of Halloween.

Colder and the hotmanies

Tales of Germany: "Colder and the hotmanies".



Once upon a time, long ago, in the large city of Germany, there was a small population of magical beings who were responsible for the proper functioning of the rotation of the Earth, the birth of stars and that different seasons were happening one of after another to maintain the balance of the environment and the environment. These beings were called the Elvines that were ruled by his Queen Lady of winter.


The Elvines were entrusting that in Germany and the rest of countries they were maintaining its respective temperatures according to the stations which they had according to its situation in the planet. This way when in Germany the winter sports resort began they were trying that the temperatures were going down so that the snow was taking place and that the different animals could begin the hibernation and some of them be able to emigrate to more warm countries. When the ground was turning in another direction and was appearing the spring, the elvines were trying(getting) to increase the temperatures again so that the thaw began and that the plants could grow again.



In this way each station announced temperatures and a way of life that each animal and every being on the planet knew perfectly and made to retain the balance of the ecosystem.



The elvines were of blue colour and tiny size. Human beings were not able to see them since they were invisible to the human eye. If someday some of them could perceive them it would be something unusual and very difficult to repeat. His Queen, the Lady of winter, was in charge of the smooth functioning of the winter season. She warned to all animals of the forest from its inception, so that they could prepare their energy reserves, their food and their houses during these four months of cold. But she was also responsible for having all the joy and spirit of harmony of Christmas in human homes. She flew with her magic wand for all households by depositing lightweight swabs of ice on the Windows and fireplaces of all households and with them did make the Christmas spirit feel in every one of the families. The elvines worshipped see it appearing between his mantle of colour gold and silver, with his long curly hair and blue eyes like a as in winter when the thaw occurs. "Them as soon as saw it appear shouted excited" LichtimWinter kalt schon schreiben Sie Ihre eigenen Gluck ", which meant to play them with her magic wand of happiness of the winter to grant them the beauty and purity of the spirit of Christmas. The Lady of winter, Lichtwinter, smiled excited when they sang the song dedicated to her and with a touch of magic wand in each one of the ears of the Elvines, caused that they began to jump for joy excited when you walked by the body sweet beautiful of the winter cold tremor and with him was invading them the spirit of Christmas.

 


All in the city of Germany was in line with the stations and reigning peace and harmony in all German households.


But suddenly something unusual began to feel in the homes of Germany. Increasingly more the spirit of Christmas began to disappear from the German families and by many touches that Lichtwinter carried out in the Windows of the houses, the magical snow increasingly swabs were tinier and seemed to have no effect. Year after year the swabs lost strength and winter temperatures ever were hottest.


One day there was a meeting of all the magical beings of the stations. They met the elvines, Lady of winter, the Elf of the summer, the fairy of the spring and autumn Elf. All of them were very worried about temperatures rises and disappearance virtually of the winter that was taking place both in Germany and in other countries.


-If this continues this way, we will soon not have winter and Licthwinter and Christmas will disappear with him - said Esternin one of the elvines more elderly group.


But this rise in temperatures is why?, you are responsible for maintaining Central thermometers in an appropriate manner so that there is any kind of warming on Earth - said the Elf of the autumn.


-Yes, it is true, but something strange happens lately. They are impossible to control, we do everything possible so that they do not destabilize, but some strange force that comes from the outside makes thermometers do not make us case and continue to rise - he said another of the elvines.



-We will have to go out and find out what is happening. You have any idea of where to start looking? -said the fairy of the spring.


-We believe that policy-makers can be human beings. We do not believe to be an innocuous effect; someone is causing it - said hitch, another of the elvines.



-I every time I'm more weakened, my magic wand loses power and each time I feel more sad and Loveless for the loss of the spirit of Christmas - said Licthwinter.


-We must go outside to find out what is happening - said another of the Elvines.



- But you know that it is very dangerous to be around by the outside world, humans cannot see us but their low energies we weaken - said the fairy of the spring. If it's some kind of machination that they are doing we will need help, we alone cannot do it - eventually realize Fruhlingsblume.



They continued discussing long time, but no solution they were. If it was some sort of action that humans were making it would be very difficult to find a solution, since they were very powerful and his magic was very limited.


Meanwhile the winter returned to fall upon Germany and the Lady of winter increasingly had less force to carry out its work. It gave hints of magic wand in the homes of humans but his magic was becoming more inadequate.


One of the days where she was headed for fireplace households, slipped by one of them and fell to the vacuum. Suddenly she lost knowledge and when she woke up was among the hair of a big Bobtail inside one of the homes of humans.


-Silver, come over here - he said Oller heading towards the great mass of hair where she was located.


-OH my God, cannot be! - bellowing Oller said. Once again you have fleas.



And having said this he went to Licthwinter and with a quick gesture caught it between his fingers.


Uy!.! But what is? -He said Oller exclaiming happily. But   if there is a flea. It is a tiny and very beautiful - being said by sketching a big smile.

-Who are you? - Oller said.


At that time the Lady of winter regained the knowledge and realized where I was really. But this time instead of panic and fear to be found in front of a human being felt that he invaded a great peace and joy to meet him.


-Hello! - said timidly. My name is Licthwinter, which means light of winter.


-Hi, delighted. I am Oller and the Lord of this House - she said laughing and stroking the hair of the little.


-Well, do you tell me to be strange you are?-said looking at her surprised Oller.


-I am a fairy. I am the Lady of winter. I'm in charge along with others that the temperature is consistent with the seasons of the year. I am in charge of the winter. I help temperatures fall and bring the spirit of Christmas homes of you humans with the help of my magic wand-stealthily said the little fairy.


- ¿¡ Ah yes!!. Do so you're responsible for rejoice a little Christmas with the hard winter? -Oller said surprised.


-Yes. But lately my wand no longer creates good flakes of harmony. It is weakening because temperatures let you upload in Germany and our whole planet - said sobbing Lady of winter.


- Yes. Lately becoming less cold in winter and increasingly human we are becoming more rude and with little spirit Christmas - said nothing surprised Oller.


- And why? -Oller asked curious.

Because at the moment we don't know. We believe that someone causes the rise in temperatures on a voluntary basis. Possibly a human, or group of you that are trying to get rid of the winter and with it also the Christmas. If this happens I would disappear too – he said with tears in her eyes Licthwinter.


-Possibly know what it is-all convinced Oller said.



- ¡¡Ah!!! , You could explain me what to try to find a solution?-said hopeful Lady of winter.


Because you see, I have heard rumours that our sky and with our atmosphere is weakening and that an effect of temperature rise is occurring across the globe - Oller told the little lady. It seems that temperatures rise by accumulate different malignant substances in the atmosphere that cause heat is retained and not evaporate into higher layers of our sky - Oller said sadly. If this continues this way, it will cause the melting of the poles and will begin to produce alterations in our environment.


-Yes - Licthwinter said. This is why winter is about to disappear and with him all the harmony of the stations - concluded Licthwinter.


-Because we will have to investigate what are these substances that disrupt the ecosystem and see how we can cushion its effects - Oller said.



Meanwhile... in a place situated on the outskirts of the Teutoburger Wald forest, in the interior of the grotto of the North, the Colder evil continued with their malicious work.


Colder was one of the most terrifying human beings around the globe. I hated extremely cold and hated with Christmas. Not he wanted Germany to have winter. I hated to see the Germans happy and unconcerned during Christmas seasons. He preferred to see the humans fight and fight among themselves.



-I hate the cold. It cannot be that humans wish winter just because they expect the arrival of Christmas - she said bitterly Colder heading towards one of their hotmanies.


-I hate Christmas and the Christmas spirit. I can't stand the extreme joy that the stupid Lady of winter causes with his magic wand touch - it was still growling Colder.


- But thanks to you and my brilliant and terrifying idea can achieve that winter disappears completely and with Christmas - said non-stop laughing Colder. We say goodbye happily to the little lady of winter which will disappear with him.



Colder had built with the help of the beings of the low underworld, the hotmanies, a chimney that was going from the basement up to the higher layers of the sky through the interior of the mountains. With this fireplace they intended to raise the atmosphere all products of waste and substances which in the underworld were generating the hotmanies as result of burning garbage and coals they needed in order to maintain hot, since the hotmanies needed heat to survive.



The hotmanies were in charge of regulating the minerals in the interior of the planet. They needed to be hot to make all efforts involving the rocks and minerals of the Earth's interior styling. They had formerly been human beings who had been relegated to the underworld because of the amount of misdeeds that had been made during their lives, and were destined for that hard labour as a punishment by the evils carried out.


Now, rather than resign themselves to pay for their sins and previous responsibilities, they nor along with Colder another terrifying plan to be able to continue doing wrong to the planet.


Colder and the hotmanies shared the same objective: wanted to get rid of Christmas and of course the winter. Colder because sincerely hated Christmas and the cold and the Hotmanies because they were hoping that if the world temperature rose could exit from the inside of the underworld and return to live abroad with suitable temperatures to survive in it. The hotmanies knew that without the spirit of altruism and harmony that the Lady of winter distributed by the homes of humans, humans increasingly would become more selfish, rude and evil, and this also will cause that temperatures will continue to increase each time and thus could live among them without worry about temperature changes causing the stations and the elvines.


-Our plan is perfect - one of the hotmanies said. When humans will realize what's happening, it will already be too late to react and temperatures is irremediably altered.


-Yes, thanks to our waste products that circulate through the stack to the atmosphere. With them the atmosphere is covered of Co2 that is responsible for creating an effect of heat through the sky, similar to the effect that occurs in greenhouses inside to cause pleasant temperatures in plants - said moaning another of the hotmanies. Thus in a short time, the Earth will be a large greenhouse, horrifically hot - she said laughing another of the hotmanies.


I'm looking forward to deteriorate little by little the little lady of winter and the disappearance of joy and Christmas harmony - see concluded very entertaining Colder making cleaning of the chimney to able to keep sending different atoms of chlorine, bromine, and iodine to the environment and sources of CO2 and CFCS. With our friendly substances waste products will achieve our mission in a very short time.


With these evil plans the hotmanies and Colder were entertaining without being aware that small magical beings of stations along with Oller were coming to realize what really was happening in Germany and put an end once and for all of their misdeeds.


Litctwinter departed in search of their peers and the Elvines to explain what had been able to find out about the elevation of temperatures.


Once she reached her small magical world they were to gather all beings and Licthwinter explained everything that Oller had commented to her on those strange substances that raised the temperature of the planet.


-We believe that substances come from a place located north of Germany called Teutoburger Wald. It seems that the Northern Eagles have come to tell one of our fellow elvines that are perceived from the tops of the mountains atop dark and foul-smelling substances not previously circulating in that area. Perhaps these substances responsible for the rising temperatures - autumn Elf said.



-I propose to make an expedition to explore the ground - one of the elvines said.


That said they departed in search of Teutoburger Wald and he discovered the strange chimney that stretched from inside a hole carved in the floor of the cave from the North to the top of the mountains. Once they discovered the chimney it was easy to reach the Grotto where Colder carried out their evil plans.


-Look there - Osly, autumn Elf said.


-It seems that substances come from the inside of the fireplace - said the fairy of the spring.


-It is huge. It seems that it introduces to the interior of the Earth. Someone should sneak through it and actually see what is happening - said hopeful one of the elvines.


So in this way, autumn Elf arranged to go down through the chimney and discover the secret stranger.



He stealthily descended inside until he came to the Lair of the hotmanies, in the interior of the Earth. There he discovered that the products that the hotmanies burned continuously were responsible for cause gases and different products that loomed through the chimney and that reached the high mountains..


-Will be products that burn these strange creatures? -wondered to himself Osly.



And with these thoughts he departed in search of classmates to inform them of what he had discovered. Together departed back to the village in search of Licthwinter to discuss the new developments.



Once they were assembled Licthwinter proposed to resort to the help of the young Oller to be able to discover materials it was and how they could get that strange beings cease to burn them and distribute them through the entire atmosphere.


Surely they must be products when they are burned originating substances harmful to our planet. Sure to cause gases such as chlorine, bromine or iodine causing when they accumulate a CO2 increase and the increase in temperature in the earth-it said Oller

-If that's true, we have to avoid that products reach our atmosphere and continue causing damage to our planet, our species and our dear winter. but how will be able to do this? I see no solution to the problem – said Licthwinter.


-We could replace the materials these strange creatures are burning by others whose combustion does not cause these harmful gases. If we replace them unless they realize we can cause temperatures to return to lower-said Oller


It seems that these strange beings worship the heat, without him, could not survive. What I commented Osly, want to raise the temperature of the planet that they hate the cold, Christmas and because they want to live on the outside of the Earth.-said sadly Licthwinter.

-In addition, they also discovered that human who runs all this malevolent plan also hates the winter and wants to get rid of Christmas and me also - he continued telling Licthwinter.


-Beautiful well, do not worry. Together we will find the situation - hopeful Oller said.


So all together were meditating and carving out a strategic plan to deal with the situation. Oller thought that if they were able to replace the materials that the hotmanies used by other less harmful they would winter to appear again. With him, the magic wand of Licthwinter recovered the lost energy and could go down to the underworld and providing them with a few taps of wand to the hotmanies. Oller believed that perhaps the cold from the magic wand of Licthwinter would cause the disappearance of strange beings. When Colder realized that winter had returned to arrive, it will surely fall into the subsoil to see what was happening. At that time they should take to leave it locked up there and could not go outside anymore. There he would continue the work of the hotmanies, styling and styling stone forever ever as a result of the evils he had done during his life. They had to act fast and an organized to get close the fireplace and never more Colder out of the underworld.


The first part of the plan would be to substitute materials without the hotmanies realized. For this purpose they requested assistance from Topos friends who were directed by the Goblin in the autumn. They commissioned quietly change the materials that the hotmanies burned without a break. In this way, harmful gases stopped soon occur. The winter soon made his appearance.

Licthwinter began to feel renewed and her wand began to re-produce their magical snowflakes. The first part of the plan had taken effect.

-If that's true, we have to avoid that products reach our atmosphere and continue causing damage to our planet, our species and our dear winter. but how will be able to do this? I see no solution to the problem – said Licthwinter.


-We could replace the materials these strange creatures are burning by others whose combustion does not cause these harmful gases. If we replace them unless they realize we can cause temperatures to return to lower-said Oller


It seems that these strange beings worship the heat, without him, could not survive. What I commented Osly, want to raise the temperature of the planet that they hate the cold, Christmas and because they want to live on the outside of the Earth.-said sadly Licthwinter.

-In addition, they also discovered that human who runs all this malevolent plan also hates the winter and wants to get rid of Christmas and me also - he continued telling Licthwinter.


-Beautiful well, do not worry. Together we will find the situation - hopeful Oller said.

Licthwinter began to feel renewed and her wand began to re-produce their magical snowflakes. The first part of the plan had taken effect.


Then they arranged everything to continue with the second part. Oller and Licthwinter should descend by the fireplace and get along with the hotmanies. There Licthwinter would give them their deserved a wand of cold stroke.


When they were in the interior of the Earth, to Licthwinter it was very easy to be able to approach them without being seen and suddenly the hotmanies to feel the cold of her wand were petrified and became rocks and stones inert for the rest of his days.


Now they only had to wait for Colder down to the depths.

Colder didn't appear screaming and strongly exclaiming:


- But you can tell you're doing? Winter has returned to appear.-shouted surprised to see that the hotmanies had disappeared.


And without barely realizing account Colder felt a great DIN inside the chimney and thence visualized Oller and Licthwinter climbing through it.


-Sorry much, wanted to COlder. Your new life in the underworld begins here. Here you will always have heat conducting the slaughter above your peers hotmanies performed. Styling the stone for the rest of your days - he said Oller from on high by closing the exit toward the outside.


- But what is this? But it can't be? -shouting desperate Colder.

But it was too late. Colder would remain forever in the underworld.

In this way the little magical beings of the stations returned to breathe peace and quiet now that the temperatures were returning to normal.

Licthwinter returned to regain its previous glow and with its touches of wand was approaching humans the joy, beauty and harmony of the spirit of the winter and Christmas.

Oller became aware of the importance of keeping the skies clean of harmful products of combustion gases and thanks to this experience was formed as a great geologist, environmentalist and advocate for the environment. Overseeing all factories and companies to use materials and products whose combustion does not release harmful gases into the atmosphere.

Colder resigned to live in the basement looking at the positive side of things, at least there inside had no cold and had got the heat that had so much longed.

And thanks to this experience today maintained the tradition of the Noel descent through the chimneys of homes announcing the arrival of Christmas that recalls that due to the decrease of Oller and Licthwinter through the hotmanies gas fireplace was maintained on the planet the winter and with the Christmas spirit.

Y colorín, colorado, este cuento se ha acabado.
