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.
