New Short Story for Kids written by: Martina Alazia Sarricouet (9 years old).
Fleur was a very pretty hippopotamus. She was living in the jungle in a huge and beautiful house.
She was friend of almost everybody, I am saying almost, because there was somebody to whom she did not like: Witch Evelyn.
Witch Evelyn was an evil sorcerer, who did not like anyone and enjoyed breaking others´dreams but hers, which was to destroy the jungle and have it only for herself.
But Fleur did not care, because she had a better dream; to go to the city to know the humans.
She was walking one day, when found a secret tunnel. What Fleur first though was.
- “Is this tunnel really going to the city?”
Got inside without thinking about it. It was very colorful, she was seeing dots, lines, ribbons.
Walked and walked through that fantastic tunnel until arrived to the city. The humans looked at her as she was a huge bald monster. Finally they said:
- “What is your name? Go aways, you monster!”
Fleur walked sad, walked and walked until the Zoo where she met another hippopotamus.
He was called Martin and explained her wisely that humans sometimes show their fears in a incomprehensible way.
Fleur and Martin fell in love and lived happily ever after.
