Gloria Fuertes - The mummy has a cold ERASMUS+ e-m@ti-on

1. by Gloria Fuertes

2. In a desert, there were a few villagers that complained and were
scared by the noises that came from the pyramid. The villagers
kidnapped the doctor and took him to the pyramid.

3. Inside the pyramid, they heard a sneeze and
a big beard appeared.This beard was Mirlín,
a wise man that was left inside the pyramid
when it closed many years ago. He only had
a bag, a gun and a lunch box.

4. One day, when he was
sleeping, a mummy
appeared and told him to dig
in the ground. Feeling dizzy,
he did it, and the room was
now like a swimming pool.
Water! Finally! And...fish!!
Water and food! And he
started to eat and drink
happily until they arrived.

5. Now Mirlín asked the doctor to help him, because he was coughing
all day. After taking care of him, he asked him to help the mummy too
and he did it.

6. And so, the mysteries and things heard on the desert were
sorted out: the mummy did not have a cold, it was Mirlín.
Mirlín and the doctor stayed in the pyramid and they became
friends.
