Short Story for Kids written by: Carlos Cebrian González.

He was called Angel, but everybody called him Lolo since small.

He was a sad and selfish kid, an only child and very lonely, because it was so fatty, and was always thinking about eating, at any time, so, his class mates rejected him.

Hi parents, Josh and Sarah, used to give him a coin every day to buy a snack. He did not lack anything, but missed the company of a friend, or to be appreciated by the other boys and girls of the town, solitude saddened him.

Lolo enjoyed eating a cake, fried chips and popcorn after school, unaware of the other´s economic problems, the other boys and girls, who did not have money to buy candies because were poor.

That was his life, getting more fat and noticing his neighbors´ rejection due to his antipathy. Until one day, the teacher explained them that children in Africa were hungry and had no food.

That night, after school. Searched inside his pockets, the coins his mom gave him that morning to buy a cupcake and chocolate, and remembered what his teacher had said about Africa.

Sat on a bench situated at his town main square, in front of the candy shop, and for the first time, forgot he was hungry.

“What´s wrong with me?…Why I´m not buying popcorn? and, what about those giant and delicious lollipops?” – He was about to get into the shop when saw a good fairy who reminded Lolo that there were many poor people, not only in Africa, but also at the village, that didn´t have enough food.

Was when the fairy asked him:

-”Lolo, Do you know how many seed could you buy with the money your parents gave you?”

-”Are you talking about seeds? I don´t want seeds, I´m not a bird. I want to buy candies, because I haven´t eaten in a few hours and I´m hungry”.

-”Trust me Lolo, you will gain weight if you keep eating sweets, and children won´t stop teasing you, and you will feel really bad if they reject you. But if we made a deal, you will loose weight and everybody will appreciate you”.

-”Ok fairy. I accept the deal, what should I do?” – asked Lolo not too excited for having lost the snacks he wanted to devour.

-”well done , Lolo. Now go to buy seeds to plant chards, lettuce, tomatoes and onions”.

- “But I´m not a farmer! I can´t work at the vegetable garden. My dad does that” – Said Lolo scared of the responsibility he was going to have at the vegetable garden.

- “Tell your parents that you want to plant vegetables in a part of your vegetable garden, to give to poor children what you collect, I´m sure they will encourage you to do it. You have to know that cultivating is a very good exercise to loose weight, so you will loose the annoying roll of fat that disturbs you to run, walk, and to play football with your class mates during breaktime”.

…Lolo went reluctantly to to the seed shop and bought seeds. Told the project to his parents during dinner and ate only a plate of soup and a piece of omelette with chips. His parents, Josh and Sarah were shocked seeing their son very different from lunch time. Was their son sick?”

Saturday morning, Lolo went to his parents vegetable garden and took the tools that his dad, Josh, borrowed him. Made different holes to put the seeds in. And gave his lunch to the birds flying around, giving them the crumbs of his bread with oil.

To the naughty mice that were jumping around waiting for him to leave to eat the seeds, and to the rabbits, who were watching him curious, gave them cheese from his sandwich, and gave walnuts to the playful squirrels to satisfy their hunger.

Lolo sweated so much that morning, but when he saw the place where he had planted the seeds that were going to be food for poor children, was so proud of himself.

Went inside the house, ate happily, was hungry with out excess, like a normal boy, did not repeat when his mom offered him a delicious creme caramel, his favorite dessert.

Went to his vegetable garden after class during several days, to water the land and to pumper the crops he had sown.

An unexpectedly afternoon, when he arrived at the vegetable garden found out that many lettuces, chards, tomatoes, onions and cucumbers had sprouted before time.

Collected all the vegetables with his dad´s wheelbarrow and went to the houses of the most poor children in town, giving them part of the amazing harvest he had got.

…The strange thing was that, the more vegetables he was giving, more lettuces, chards,tomatoes, etc, were left in the wheelbarrow. And he was so happy receiving many kisses, hugs and thankful words from the parents of those classmates who used to make fun of him calling him “fat”.

Went to his vegetable garden the next day, to plant more seeds, but was shocked when saw that many vegetables had sprouted, an endless number of chards, lettuces, tomatoes…It was incredible, and his parents were astonished when he told them during dinner.

-”Lolo, we are so proud of you, of your good heart, several moms have thanked me for the food you gave them yesterday. Said you are a very good Kid, and Dad and I feel really proud of you. You have lost some weight besides, because your trousers and shirts are big on you, now you need smaller clothes”.

The following days, in spite of the fact that Lolo collected the vegetable garden every afternoon, the morning after was again full of vegetables, which Lolo distributed happily to his neighbors, helping many needy families, who were very thankful to Lolo´s generosity.

His parents were so surprised of the strange events, that decided to go to the vegetable garden one night, to discover what was going on, while their son was sleeping.

They were astonished when saw many rabbits, mice, squirrels and birds working the land, directed by a very pretty blond fairy, that, with magic powders, was accelerating the budding process of the seeds that Lolo bought every afternoon, using the money for the snacks and candies that he did not eat any more.

One morning, when he woke up to go to school, his mom was about to faint when realized that Lolo was not a fatty boy anymore, thanks to the good fairy, he had turned into a handsome and slender student.

His mother hugged him and called his father. The three of them were really happy, and later at the school, the pupils and Mr.Adams, the teacher, congratulated Lolo, who was not an alienated kid anymore, but the most loved boy by his classmates.

After some years, he became a handsome and smart guy. His neighbors lent him land to sow all kind of vegetables and fruit trees. And the miracle of the food proliferation happened every day, thanks to his work and goodness.

Those who knew him tell that every afternoon, several trucks carrying food go out of the little town were Angel was living with his parents, to bring happiness to hundred needy families from all towns and cities around.

…One night, when all the lights were switched off, a particular dew invaded the garden, and a chorus of voices settled the air which tasted like honey.

Helen saw lights jingling as fireflies approaching them, until one of them lied on her shoulders and thought she was hearing voices whispering in her ear, but that had to be impossible. Nevertheless, a sweet and melodic sound interrupted the silence:

- “Don´t cry”

She heard the voice really near this time. Shocked, fell backwards to the ground. And then, those green and gray lights became smaller and a woman dressed with brown colors appeared instead.

Tiny and Shiny, she could even fit in the palm of a hand. Helen opened her eyes, rubbed her eyes many times, until finally, she asked what was she doing there.

The fairy introduced herself and introduced the others being with her too. They were all very sad, because had heard her sobbing from their houses at the top of the trees.

The rabbit was also there, went out of his den, the squirrel too, who left her wet corner; even the snake woke up from her lethargy.

Obviously, there was a stir that night. The worry had reached all hearts. Suddenly, the fairies began to exchange knowing looks, laughs and whispers. They had a plan.

One of them shacked her wand pointing to the sky, and an emerald green light sparkled. Then, all of them said loudly:

-”Your wish will be done!!”

And Croaky´s eyes opened by magic, blinking sometimes. Helen was shocked and excited at the same time, her shout scared all the inhabitants of the forest, who jumped with joy when found out what happened.

Helen held Croaky in her arms and gave her the most tender of the kisses. The little frog had returned from her dream, and only love, real love could make the miracle.

But it was more than two months without seeing a star dedicated to her, and Miranda was very sad.

One day, watching the sky, Miranda saw a space ship landing on the ground, ran to see it, convinced that it was James; but she didn´t see her friend going out, so, hid quickly.

She saw a robot going out the space ship, with a brightness that barely let her see. Moved around the land for a few seconds, searching for something or someone. When the robot went back to the space ship, a paper note fell from him.

Then, the space ship took off, and there was only a tiny dot in the infinite.

Miranda came out of hiding, took the note with curiosity, and read it.

“Hi Miranda, It´s James: I have been sick, I caught “Saturn Shavings”. I can´t go out until I´m totally recovered. That is the reason why I can´t create stars to you. But I send you my Nanny, this likable robot, I want you to know that I am always thinking of you, and I miss you”.

Miranda was very happy, went back home and, from the window, sent many wishes for James recovering soon.

- “I missed you too, that is why I came to visit you again. Do you know what, my dear sea? I could never miss the privilege of admiring you and hear the beautiful sound you emit”.

Ruth continued saying:

-”The most fascinating about you is when your arms, turned into waves, that are more similar to wings. Raise, trying to touch the sky. But, when broke in the sand, many white butterflies come out from your foam. Also the dance of your waves, looks like the drums are sounding to remember your power. Oh! but what I most adore from you are the shells ringing when you go back to form a new wave; ringing with the sand, emitting the most beautiful and perfect melody that I have ever listened in any music instrument. That is the reason why I love you so much, my dear sea. And I will come every day to visit you and to play with you”.

Ruth said good bye to the sea every day, after playing with him, and promising to visit him again the day after.

Until one day, John, the monkey, tired of Willy taking what was not his, had a very good idea.

John pretended he was eating bananas, yelling how delicious the bananas were:

Once upon a time…

There was a Kid who did not believe in stories about magic. The world had became a mixture of pavement and cement. Everything was gray; fumes, metals and concrete skyscrapers.

The kid, to whom everybody called Walt, went to school everyday automatically.

Used to leave his house, cross a zebra crossing when the traffic light was green, walk in front of a bakery, in front of a fruit shop, turn right, and after ten steps, on the left, used to walk twenty steps straight a head before reaching the school´s door. Doing the same day after day, day after day…

The way back home was similar or even more monotonous. Making his homework; pencil, rubber and paper. And going to sleep every day, knowing that the next day will be identical to the day before.

But, one night, without knowing very well, why. Walt had a dream. He had not dreamed in ages. Acording to responsible people, according to adults, dreams were not useful.

Because dreaming is not productive, doesn´t generate money. That is the reason why Walt was used to not dreaming. Well, for what?. Nevertheless, that night, he dreamed, dreamed strongly, with his eyes tightly closed.

A magician appeared in his dream, silly thing! a magician…it was clear, magician did not exist. Magic was an invention of people from the past. Now the world was gray and serious. Now, the world was a perfect machine that generated identical days.

The magician in his dream had been clear:

-”Walt, escape from this world of crazy people and come back to the magic good sense: colors exist, reality is not mathematically designed. Many things can happen at the magic site”.

Just at that moment the alarma clock sounded.

Click to read: WALT, THE MAGIC TELLER (FIRST PART)

…That day, Walt did not get anything right. Turn left when he had to turn right, and walked twenty three steps instead of twenty.

The result was that he did not arrived to school, was lost in a uncertainty and disoriented world. And could not stop thinking about the magician.

A voice was sounding in his head: “Improvise, Walt”.

-”Improvising? what was that?”

Improvising is acting when the unexpected (magic) happens. After many hours walking around the street, Walt could arrived home, where his parents scolded him.

That night, he dreamed again. This time, the magician was up in a mountain without saying anything. It was just him, dressed in a blue tunic, at the top of a huge mountain.

Walt saw lots of colors accumulated at the mountain: The green grass of the top; with colorful dots (were the flowers); trees with brown trunks; gold colored  bees; gray roses; blue rivers, white snow.

Walt woke up worried again. Nature was outside, far from the city. He had to find that mountain. Prepared a rucksack with food and clothes inside, and began his trip.

He had never abandoned the metropolis to get into the wild territories. It took him much time and effort to find the way out. It was dark when he finally arrived to the field, and Walt saw the stars for the first time. Smelled the wet soil and heard the crickets. And Walt, believed in magic for the first time.

He spent that night in the open. Was cold, but he did not care. Screamed very loud without knowing why, but he needed to take out of his own body everything gray from the city.

The next day, saw the shape of the mountain drawn over the horizon. Walked without resting, climbed, creeped and dragged where he could.

It was not easy to reach the top of the mountain. Was disappointed when realized that nobody was there. closed his eyes to avoid a tear streaming down is cheek, and, at that moment, the magician appeared. Walt still had his eyes closed, but could see the magician.

-”Walt, I don´t exist, but magic does”.

He understood everything immediately. He believed in magic from that moment, and the days were always different for him. Making his homework, but was not monotonous, and learnt to be happier and to live every instant with illusion.
