21. One day, four friends, Kiara, Óscar, Sonia and
Luna finished their English class and decided to
buy sweets.

22. Kiara was saying that everybody said to her
that was impossible to be in more than one
place at the same time but her friend thought
that had to be some way…

23. Suddenly, Kiara fall down in a bad
closed sewer!
- One moment! Where is Kiara? –
asked Óscar

24. Everybody started to look around and heard a
voice in the distance. It was Kiara from the sewer.
The kids looked at the hole and then a hard wind
started and made everybody fall down too.
Sonia screamed:
- Where are we?

25. The four friends were in another world
with Kiara where anything seemed to be
like it was. In that moment, a girl who
was a queen said:
- Oh! We have guests! Run! Bring
the sweets!

26. Many small people bring big baskets with a lot of
sweets to welcome the kids. Luna Said:
- Wait! If we eat so much we will feel badly
ant that’s not healthy…

27. And the queen said:
- I know it, but in Possibleland only the
ones who believe in the posible can eat all that
they want, play hours and hours, know all the
countries in the world without travel, learn the
difficult things and be in all sites.

28. The kids were suprised because they can do all
that they want.
The queen told them that they were fortunate to
be there because only the ones that believe that
can do whatever they want and get the impossible
things can make appear the sewer.

29. Since then, when someone says to the
four friends that they can’t do
something or they feel useless, they go
down in the sewer and travel to
Possibleland to rememeber them that
they are strong and can do whatever
they want.

47. Carla, Sara, Marc and Álex
are friends from high
school. Today, they start
university.
Many people know them
from YouTube, because
they have a YouTube
channel in which they
upload videos dancing,
and they do it pretty well.
When they walked into
the faculty everyone
started clapping.

48. They heard the bell but they didn’t know
where the classes were. They found some
classmates: Laura, Andrea, Nora, Aleix and
Pol.
Sara asked, “Where is the classroom?”
“It’s on the sec…” Answered Pol but Aleix
interrupted him.
“On the basement 13” Answered Aleix with
a mocking smile.
They enter Basement 13 but the doors were
suddenly shut and they were locked in.

49. Pol went there to rescue them, because he is in love with Sara.
Unfortunately, Aleix saw him opening the door.
“What the heck are you doing? Why are you helping them?” asked Aleix
angrily.
“I’m helping them because… because… BECAUSE I LOVE SARA” shouted
Pol.
“I love you too” answered Sara.
“Gross! Don’t speak to me anymore!” affirms Aleix

50. Pol says, “There are
security cameras here.
They can ask for the video
and upload it to YouTube
and all their fans will see
it.”
“We are sorry, we did it
because we are envious of
your fame” regrets Aleix.
“Don’t be jealous! Why
can’t we all be friends?”
asks Cara.
And they all lived happily
ever after.

52. Looking Beneath The Surface
Written by Maria Ortega (and the teacher)
Read by Maria Ortega (and the teacher)

53. Onceupon a time in a faraway land, there lived a young woman called
Hailey. She was twenty one years old and a hero. She could also use magic.
Hailey helped people, flying around the country and looking for people in
danger. She often rescued people from monsters with her magic.

54. In the same country, there lived a warlock called Alex. Alex’s family were all
evil, but he didn’t really want to be. Unfortunately, everyone assumed he was
evil and hated him. In the twenty two years since he’d been born, he’d never
made a friend, so he felt very lonely.

55. One day, Alex saw a little girl being attacked by a monster. He tried to rescue
her. At the same time, Hailey flew by and thought Alex was controlling the
monster. She jumped down to the ground and attacked him.
Alex tried to defend himself and explain, when suddenly the ground broke
under their feet and Alex, Hailey and the monster fell into a hole. Now safe,
the little girl ran home crying.

56. Hailey and Alex were now trapped with the monster. It was huge, fire red and
had big, sharp teeth. It also looked very hungry. The monster was very angry
after the fall and immediately attacked them.

57. “Tell your monster to stop attacking,” Hailey shouted while she dodged the
attack.
“I’m not controlling the monster, it’s not mine,” he replied, “I tried to tell you
before.”
“Don’t lie. I can see what family you’re from. You all have violet eyes and you
all are evil,” Hailey accused.
“I’m not lying. I’m not like my family,” he assured her.
Hailey didn’t look too convinced, but the monster was attacking and they
needed to defend themselves.
“I have an idea,” Hailey said, “We can work together against the monster,”
then she would see if he was telling the truth.
“Alright, let’s do it,” he agreed.

58. Together, Hailey and Alex fought against the monster. Suddenly, the monster was
about to hit Hailey, but Alex stepped in front of her and blocked the attack. Hailey
was saved, but Alex was hurt.
“Are you okay? Why did you do that?” she asked, worriedly.
“I heal quickly, it’s one of my powers,” he replied. “But we have to finish fast, I
can’t really fight anymore. I’ll distract him and you attack.”
“Okay, let’s do this fast,” Hailey agreed.
While Alex distracted the monster, Hailey attacked it from the back with her
powers. The monster faded in a cloud of red smoke.
“You did it!” Alex shouted happily.
“No, we did it!” Hailey corrected him with a smile. “Let’s get you to a doctor.”
She put her arms around his waist and flew them out of the hole and towards the
closest village and its doctor.

59. Alex healed as quickly as he’d said he would. Hailey had already realised in
the cave that he wasn’t evil like the rest of his family and that she could trust
him. She invited him to go on adventures with her and form a team of
heroes.
As the time passed, the two saved a lot of people and eventually fell in love
with each other. Because of Hailey, everyone realised that Alex wasn’t evil
and he made a lot of friends. But Hailey would always be his favourite
person.
The End.

63. Once upon a time, there was a place called “Emerald city”. In this
city, where everything was paid with emeralds, lived a family
who wasn’t very rich.

64. In the dark side of the city, Steve, the youngest member of this
family, receives 20 emeralds from his mother to pay his weekly
school lunch.

65. On his way to school, Steve sees a bookshop. In the shop
window there was a special old book on sale. The price of the
book was 20 emeralds, the exact amount his mother gave him
for his weekly lunch.
“Wow, maybe I should buy this book, it looks really special!!!”
said Steve.

66. Steve decides to buy the book. It was like the book spoke to
him... He couldn’t leave the shop without buying it.

67. During his lunch break, Steve starts reading the first five pages from the
book, because he couldn’t eat that day. He couldn’t afford lunch. In these
pages, Steve found himself lost at the wonderful things that the girl in
the book experienced daily. He was wondering...”What if this could
happen to me! My family and I could have a better future...” whispered
Steve to himself.

68. On his way home, he found 50 emeralds, laying there on the ground.
He picks them up and remembers that this happened to the girl in the
book too... He runs home and tells his mother what he had done with
the 20 emeralds and how now they have 50 emeralds instead. The
mother was shocked. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “Are
you joking? Where did you get these emeralds from?” said the mother.

69. At night, the mother started reading the book with her son. Deep
within her heart, she wanted to believe what was written in the
book...”Maybe, just maybe, we could have a better future! Is this book
really helping us somehow?” thought the mother to herself.

70. The next day, someone knocks on their door. They receive a letter from
afar away uncle of his mother, telling them that he died and left them a
beautiful house in the city centre. They couldn’t believe it.
Nevertheless, they moved to the new house and wonderful things
happened to them everyday. Until, one morning....

71. Steve was on his way to school, when he saw two children begging for
food on the street. He passed them by and didn’t listen to their cry for
help. When school finished that day, he returned home to see that
they have just lost their wonderful house. “We don’t live here
anymore!” cried the mother. “Why, mum? What happened?” asked
Steve. The mother was silent, she didn’t know why.

72. Alone and sad, back to his old house, Steve started thinking about what he
did wrong to deserve this punishment. On his way to school, he saw that
the two children begging in the street were living now in his beautiful
house in the city centre. When he opened the book again, the book wrote:
“You were given a chance to be good to others, but you wasted this gift on
being mean to others. Remember... Only good deeds in life will bring you
happiness.”

73. Steve, started to think about what he had done and decided he was
going to make things right in life and begged the book for a second
chance. Do you think Steve deserves a second chance? Only, you know
the answer to this question....

78. 79
It was raining and gloomy, and Robbie was sleeping as snug as a bug.

79. 80
Suddenly, a sound woke him up and an enormous head appeared inside
the old boot that Robbie lived in. Making him jump. It was Sally Eagle.
“EEEk!!! You frightened me! You shouldn’t wake people up like that”,
said Robbie.
“This place is a bit pokey, isn’t it? It’s certainly no good for an elegant
bird like me!” said Sally.
“Excuse me, this is a lovely little house. Anyway, what are you doing
here so early in the morning?” said Robbie.

80. 81
“Blackie is outside. He is bored and looking for something to do. I
thought we could go away for the day.” said Sally.
“In this weather? It’s horrible! Only fit for ducks!” said Robbie.
“Oh, it won’t last! There’s sunshine behind those clouds” said Sally.

81. 82
Robbie saw Blackie Blackbird sulking outside. He was very wet!
“Morning!” Shouted Robbie.
“Hi, Robbie! At least the rain brings out the worms!” said Blackie.
“That looks disgusting! There’s nothing like a nice bit of fish, but there
won’t be any fish today. The sea is too rough for the boats to go out.”
said Sally.
“You can keep your smelly fish! I prefer a juicy snail!” said Blackie.
“Aaargh! That looks horrible! Come on everyone, let’s go!” said Sally.

82. 83
So, the three little birds took off after Sally. Of course, they
couldn’t keep up with her. Her long, strong wings made her go
very fast. They flew on over fields, woods and streams until
the little birds started to get tired.
“Hey Sally! My wings are really tired. Can we stop here?”
said Robbie.
“Oh, all right! If we must. Just when I was beginning to
enjoy myself!” said Sally.

83. 84
She turned round and landed on the grass. While she cleaned her
feathers, the other birds sat around huffing and puffing to get their
breath back. At least, the Sun had now appeared. While the others
went off to explore the trees and bushes, Robbie lay down with his red
breast turned up to the Sun and quickly fell asleep. When they came
back, they found Robbie still asleep and woke him up.

84. 85
“Oooh –aaahh! I’m burning. What have you done to me?” shouted
Robbie.
His red feathers looked even redder than usual as he hopped around,
flapping his wings. “Help!! I’m on fire!” Robbie shouted.

85. 86
He looked so funny that the other birds started laughing:“Ja-ja-ja-ja-ja!“
“It’s not funny! It hurts!” said Robbie.
“That’s what happens when you fall asleep in the Sun, you get
sunburnt. But look! The rain has left a lovely big puddle over there.
Go and splash about in it. That’ll help!” said Blackie.
They all flew over and Robbie dived straight in. His red breast was under
water as he wiggled his bottom in the air.

86. 87
He splashed about in the refreshingly cool water. Blackie waded in
carefully, but when Sally joined in, she soaked everybody with one flap
of her enormous wings.
“Hey sally, watch what you’re doing! You’re soaking us!” said Blackie.
“Moan, moan, moan! I can’t have any fun!” grumbled Sally.
“ Listen! What’s that?” said Robbie.

87. 88
A strange noise was coming from the field on the other side of the gate –
a sort of bellowing. They looked at one another, alarmed. Then, Sally
decided to investigate and flew to the gate. The others followed her.
What the they saw was a frightened calf jumping around the field,
bucking and kicking and rolling her eyes. On one of her little horns,
there wasa plastic bag caught, and no matter how hard she shook her
head it wouldn’t come off.

88. 89
“Picnickers! I’m fed up with them! Why can’t they take their bags
and rubbish away with them? We should help her!” said Robbie.
“You’re joking! Have you seen how big she is?” said Blackie.
“Oh, don’t be such a coward, Blackie! If we all grab a part of the bag
with our beaks and fly upwards, we should be able to pull it off her
horn.” said Robbie.

89. 90
The calf was even more frightened when she saw them all flying towards
her. She shook her head harder still.
“Blackie, why don’t you sing to her? It will calm her down while we
get the bag off. Come on, Sally!” said Robbie.
Sally took the middle of the bag in her beak and Robbie took a corner,
while Blackie sat on the gate and sang sweetly. The calf stopped mooing
and opened her mouth in amazement.
“1-2-3- PULL! Cried all of them.

90. 91
“I’ll take this nasty thing to a litter bin before it hurts someone! Said
Sally.
“Phew! That was scary!” Said Blackie.
They decided to fly home again. What a good time they had! They went
straight home for some peace and quiet and they all landed back in their
little garden.

91. 92
