The Mafia Dog

Malvina´s parents were rich but they only allowed her to have one dog although she´d love to have ten.
Her dog was a Labrador. Malvina got him as a present from a man on the street. He was dressed normally and he said he didn´t want him. So Malvina took the dog. At home her parents didn´t agree to keep him. They said she shouldn´t talk to strangers and certainly she shouldn´t take things from them, but Malvina still wanted to keep him.
Malvina took the Labrador to the vet, who examined him and said he´s in perfect condition.
After lots of persuading Malvina convinced her parents. Now he was hers!

Today was a sunny day, so Malvina decided to go to the park with her labrador, Choco.
They were playing frisbee when one of her classmates (NateJ) came over.
“Hey Malvina!“ he said.
“Hi Nate!“she said.
They started playing. Malvina threw the disc. The wind was blowing, so the frisbee flew to the left hiting a tree. Choco was running after it, his tail wagging. As he ran past the tree, his tail hit it. It fell off!!!
Suddenly Choco´s whole body froze and he hit the floor.
Nate and Malvina just stared.
In a few seconds, lots of men came rushing up to them and tied them up. “W...Whats happening?“ Malvina asked.
“Hi Malvina“ a muscly man who seemed to be familiar said.(How did he know her name?!)
“We know everything about you. Now you´ll just give me all your money and we´ll set you, your frind and your robotic dog free.“ He said.
“What? Robotic dog? Who?... oh! Your the man who gave Choco to me arn´t you? And he´s robotic! But why!?“ Malvina said. She didn´t understand.
“ Well, I see that your a bright kid! Exactly! I gave you the dog. He isn´t a real dog. He´s a spy. He had a microphone on the tip of his tail so we could hear what you and your family were talking about. Now we know everything we need to. It was about time he hit his tail on something and it fell off. See everything was based in his tail. I thought I´d give up in a few days but no everythings alright.“ The man chuckled.“ I´ll just call your parents and they´ll pay me to let you go.“ The man laughed.
“May I just say goodbye to Choco?“Malvina begged. She had a plan.
“ Okay! It won´t do any harm. But guard them!“ Good, Malvina though.
She came over to the frozen body of her dog. “Could you please loosen my rope so I can stroke him?“ Malvina asked in her sweetest voice.
“´kay“ one of the guards said. He loosened her rope.
Malvina strocked the Labradors´ coat. Then she picked up the tail and pretended to look very sad. In her head she was going over her plan. She hoped it would work.

The Fall Of The Berlin Wall

The berlin wall was hated by everyone in east Berlin. I was one of them. Secretly me and my family whispered about the communists and how we hated them, but we never said anything in public.
My friends brother tried to escape a year before the Brelin wall fell but he was killed. So I didn´t try it.
Then about a week before, I started to feel it. I started to feel that something was going to happen. At first I thought I was just going crazy from everything but as the day was coming closer I felt the feeling increase. Of course, we didn´t know what would happen but maybe somewhere very deep inside everyone knew that this couldn´t last very much longer.
After supper my father turned on the TV to watch the news. When we heard a man say we could go away, everyone was delighted.
It took only seconds for us to get outof shock.
I ran into my tiny room and took only the most precious things including my favourite teddy bear.
I grabbed our small dog under one arm and swung my ruksack onto my shoulder.
My family was ready too. We jumped into our old beige Skoda and sped to the Gate. We jumped out of our car and ran to the gate.
Already there were about 100 people there. They were explaining the whole thing to the confused guards.
Soon we were running through the gates to West Berlin and leaving the guards confused and embarresed.

Hurricane Rick

A very strong hurricane (the second strongest hurricane in the eastern North Pacific) has now weakened to a Category 4 according to the five-category Saffir-Simpson´s scale. It was going at 285km per hour but is now going at 230km per hour. The storm is expected to weaken over the next couple of days but forecasters say that southern Baja California should keep an eye open on Monday. They also say that the hurricane should hit land by midweek as a Category 1 or Category 2 hurricane so ranging about 120 to 177km per hour. This may destroy an enormous fisherman gathering on Wednesday were hundreds of fisherman are going to sell and catch fish.

The Three Piglets

There once was a house. This house had and ordinary wooden white door. This door had been with the house from the time it was built. It also knew everything about its family and any other family it wanted to because all the doors had telepathy. All the doors could, if they wanted, know everything.
Lets get back to the story. The door I´m talking about was called Master White. He was the boss of all the doors in and around the village.
One sunny day one of the family (it was the oldest piglet) went out of the house and into the village. This is what the other doors told Master White:
"The piglet was going to the "sell & buy your house" shop when he met this old man carrying straw," Hinge, the oldest door, was saying,"He asked the man if he´d give him the straw to build his house. The man agreed. So he found a piece of land and built his house. But then came the wolf.
"He said that he should open the door and let him in but the piglet didn´t. So the wolf started huffing and puffing and huffing and puffing until the house fell down. Then he jumped at the piglet and ate it."
The next day the second oldest piglet walked out slammed Master White and troted off toward the village. The same thing happened as with tha oldest piglet:
"The piglet was going to the "sell & buy your house" shop when he met this old man carrying sticks," one of the doors was saying to Master White,"He asked the man if he´d give him the sticks to build his house. The man agreed. So he found a piece of land and built his house. But then came the wolf.
"He said that he should open the door and let him in but the piglet didn´t. So the wolf started huffing and puffing and huffing and puffing until the house fell down. Then he jumped at the piglet and ate it."
On the next day, the youngest piglet went out, shut me slowly. then troted off towards the village. He also was looking for a new house. This is what happened:
"The piglet was going to the "sell & buy your house" shop when he met this old man carrying bricks," Goldbeam was saying to Master White,"He asked the man if he´d give him the bricks to build his house. The man agreed. So he found a piece of land and built his house. But then came the wolf.
"He said that he should open the door and let him in but the piglet didn´t. So the wolf started huffing and puffing and huffing and puffing and huffing and puffing and huffing and puffing...
But the house didn´t even shake.
"The wolf started persuaiding him. He told him they should go to Mr. Smiths."...He has alot of turnips..." he said. The piglet agreed. They were meant to meet at 6 o´clock so they could go together. But the piglet was clever and went an hour earlier. He ran there got the turnips and ran home just in time. The wolf was angry but he swallowed it down and said to the piglet that they should to Mary garden because they have delicious apples there. The piglet agreed. They were meant to meet at 5 o´clock. An hour before, the piglet ran to the Garden and climed on a tree to get some apples, but the wolf came. The piglet said to the wolf:"Here i´ll throw this apple to you." He threw it so far that it took a long time for the wolf to fetch it and when the came back he just saw the piglets tail vanishing behind the door.
"He was very angry but he didn´t do anything yet. He said that they should go to a fair together. The piglet agreed. So the wolf decided they´d meet at 3 o´clock. The piglet went there earlier. He bought a thing you make butter in. When he was going home he saw the wolf standing at his door. He had an idea. He climbed into the butter jar and rooled down hill at the wolf. Thje wofl got such a fright he ran away. He comes the next day and tells the piglet about the horrible thing rolling down at him. The piglet laughs. He says he scared the wolf. The wolf got so angry he climbed onto the roof and down the chimney.
" The piglet ran and got some wood and a cauldron full of water. He light the fire and soon the water inside the cauldron had boiling water. The was already at the bottom. just as the wolf jumped down onto the lid the piglet took it and the wolf fell into the pot with boiling water. He was soon finished and the piglet had a good supper.
