The pigs, the bears and the wolf by Isaac Moreno & Andrés Stumpf Once upon a time, there was a wolf called Neo who lived in the city of Nottingham. He led a band of criminals, all of them big bears. The city was inhabited by small pigs in wooden houses. One summer day, Neo’s band planned an attack on a family of small pigs. They would blow down their house. However, as everybody knows, bears are not able to blow, so the plan finally was a complete fiasco. The King of the pigs found out that the small pigs had been assaulted by the band of Neo the wolf, so he decided that he should suddenly appear naked again – we say ‘again’ because at
the age of 20 he had already appeared naked on the news for something quite similar – nearby the house of the little pigs to ban the bears from coming up the city. The prohibition would last at least until the hot summer days finished. To reinforce this law, the King visited the British embassy in Russia, where James Bond was developing a secret mission. The King requested Bond to join him at Nottingham in order to fight the bears in case they decided not to cooperate.
That special prohibition started to be known in the city as the ‘Apple law’ because James Bond used poisoned apples to get rid of the bears who tried to infringe it. And that’s the way that life became hell for Neo the wolf and his criminal band while the little pigs started to enjoy life as if they had won the National Lottery.
Being Romantic? by Ana Coll and Carlos Tostado
“When you are at a party how do you introduce yourself to girls?” “Do you show yourself as a romantic person with your partner when you are in public?” “Are you just romantic when you are alone with a girl?” One of the boys answered that from his point of view it was
incorrect to change your behavior depending on the situation. Another boy uttered that in the past people did not show their romanticism in public, nowadays if a survey were to be carried out, it would show that love does not hide anymore. Suddenly the teacher, who was leading the debate, interrupted. He said: “Ok, let’s have a quick quiz. What are girls´ favorite presents? What gift would you get someone to show them that you are in love? Is a diamond about the right thing?” A lollipop for
the student with the right answer.” The clever boy replied that men are likely to send flowers on any occasion. The teacher suggested “What do you think anyone feels when they hear the florists delivery boy knocking on the door? It doesn’t matter what they’re doing, they stop to rush to the door”. The clever boy sitting at the back row raised his hand and said: “The deeper the feeling is, the less material things you need to express it”. The girls in the class roared and clapped.
