THE DOG
(by David, Rosa and Pedro)

A dog wanted to play with a ball. He needed a partner. He walked in a park and cried when he saw a boy. The boy smiled and asked: "Can I play with you?"

They both played with the ball. The dog asked: "Did you like the ball?" and they were very happy.

Ana N. played football last weekend. She wanted to be famous but she needed a lot of money.

She cried because she was sad because the people didn't clap.

She asked her coach team, he answered her and she smiled.

She walked on the football pitch and she stopped crying.

Finally, she looked at the people and she carried her bag. And she went to the Camela concert.

The frog and the prince
(by Fran, Lorena & Noelia)

The frog asked a question to the prince. He said: "Why didn't you give me a kiss?". And she answered: "Because I didn't fancy giving you a kiss."

The frog walked away and then he stopped and cried.

The frog said: "I needed a kiss to become a prince". The prince came and kissed the frog and he smiled.

THE MATCH
(by Lorena, Noelia, Jose & Loveneet)

I wanted to see a football match yesterday, because my favourite team played.

But I needed a lot of money, so I watched the football match on TV and I smiled and clapped.

In the break, I asked myself if the team would win.

When the match finished, I answered my question.

After I watched the match I walked with my friend because we were very happy.

We stopped walking because it was too late.

MY WEDDING
(by Javier)

I married three years ago. My wife and I wanted a very special day.

Manolo, my friend, came home with a lorry in the afternoon. He asked me: "Do you want a ride?". I answered: "Of course!", and I smiled.

I was very happy because lorries are my life.

When we arrived and stopped the lorry, people clapped.

I needed to see my wife. When I walked and looked at her, she cried and she told me: "Don't change". She didn't want lorries at her wedding.

When the ceremony finished, my brother played the horn for five minutes.

THIS IS A TRUE STORY.
MY WEDDING WASN'T VERY TYPICAL BUT IT WAS VERY SPECIAL.

THE PARK
(by Mª Carmen, Victoria, Pepa & Esther)

I was sad yesterday and then I phoned my friends MªCarmen, Pepa and Esther.

We wanted to go out, so we walked to the park. The weather was good.

Some children played football in the park and we stayed with them. We clapped them and they smiled at us.

The children scored two goals and we cried "GOOAL!", so they smiled at us again.

Then they asked us:
- "Do you want to play with us?"
- "Yes, we do." Pepa answered.

And then we played football together. MªCarmen stopped the ball and Victoria was worried because Esther was tired: she needed a break.

"Did you like the game?", the children asked. And we answered: "Yes, we did!"

Finally, we were happy and we danced a song to conclude.

THE END

THE STORY OF SARAH AND ALEX*
(by Antonio)

Sarah and Alex are friends and they met in the street one day.

Sara: Hi, Alex. How are you?
Alex: Hi, Sara. Long time no see!
Sara: Yes, Alex. Do you remember our last trip to Marseille (Catalan Pyrenees)? We had a great time...
Alex: Yes, I remember we met on the brown bus that took us to Marseille... 48 young men travelled and prepared to enjoy the snow.
Sara: I needed a weekend getaway.
Alex: I remember the games we invented after we had dinner in groups.
Sara: Yes, they answered our questions on equipment. The losers were very sad. Some of them cried while the winners celebrated, jumped, clapped and laughed.
Alex: It was a fun excursion, we had a great time. We went skiing, walked through the snow... And the sunset at the foot of the mountains... It was fantastic! I loved that trip.
Sara: I hope to repeat it.
Alex: Good to see you, Sara. See you. Bye, bye!
Sara: Likewise. Bye, bye!

And they answered: "Yes, of course"
Then they cried and clapped because they were very happy and their wishes became true.
