my shoes...
ReplyDeleteTonight i dreamed that i had good shoes but when i woke up this wasn't real. So i went to walk. While i was walking i thought: that my shoes were small, but I liked it. They were broken, because I played soccer all time. My friend had new and beautiful shoes. He didn't use them so much. I was so sad; I thought that the world is against me. I didn´t know, why do I not had new shoes? I would like clean and new shoes, like my friend’s shoes, I wanted to be him.
At this moment I saw my friend, he was sitting on a park bench with his shoes and he looked happy, then I went to sit beside a tree, so I saw to the sky and I wished to be him and suddenly I opened my eyes , I became in him, I was amazed, I had new shoes . Also my friend was beside the tree and he was happy, and he was running everywhere, I wanted to run to him but a strange some happened. I couldn´t move. I tried it much, it was impossible. Then an old woman arrived with a wheelchair.
My Moral: this is a hard lesson that asks us: what is more important, the life or things that adorn our life? Sometimes the material things are become in the life but there much more, like the possibility to walk, to smile, to see, to love. So how much longer are we going to spend on superficial things?
The partner's moral: I prefer a pair of ugly shoes because these help me to walk. I don´t want many pair of shoes that i can´t use them.
MY SHOES
ReplyDeleteThe story is about a child, who has a couple of shoes, but his shoes were damages and it wasn’t that he waits. He doesn’t have enough money to buy shoes, and the people make jokes about it.
The little boy went to a bridge, he was thinking about a lot of things, he wanted to have a new friend, then, he decided to try to find someone, he found a boy sitting in a chair that had a beautiful shoes. The poor boy felt jealous of the rich boy and he went to sit down a three he was there when started to play with his broken shoes as if they were puppets; he wanted to have a new shoes and he wished it with all his force.
The other boy who was in the park wants to stand up of the chair and play with him, but he couldn’t do it because he is in wheels chair.
Partner’s moral:
With have to value all something that we have because I don’t know we cannot wake up with a healthy life.
My own moral:
There are things that we can see but other people need it and when we lose these things we learn really the meaning of it in our life. “All we are a complement; our strengths should be the needs of the other people”.
This is the story a guy called simon who had very broken his shoes, he was very sad because he wanted to be different, he wanted money, so every day in the park watching a child with expensive clothes and always looked happy, Simon watched one by one the articles of clothing, and each day was more envious of David's boy beautiful clothes.
ReplyDeleteSimon walked everywhere with his old shoes, it was a gift to her mother, who had left before leaving, saying nothing, and from that moment he left alone in this world, he hated her mother for leaving him alone and also hated those shoes but must wear it every day because he had no more. One day he realized that the shoes were magic but did not care because the shoes just talked and talked and it irritated Simon, he had become a child blinded by envy and bitterness, Simon felt annoyed by having a shoe so talkative.
One day Simon was in the park and saw David, and thought - life is so unfair because I'm alone in this world at least I deserve a shoe like that, the shoes were saddened and said - you must learn to appreciate what so you'll be very happy ... Meanwhile David watched from a chair, there he wanted to speak but Simon was very irritating. . Simon ran and sat under a tree, there he wanted to be David, broken shoesnhearing this, they decided to grant this wish.
Soon they had changed their body, Simon watched his former body, but was shocked to notice that the child who was, he was jumping for happiness ... Simon in his new body felt that finally changed his life, and now he could have anything he wanted, but unfortunately it was not, because his grandmother immediately came with a wheelchair to take Simon in his new body into the house, then Simon realized that his new body could not move legs. While David in his new body wanted not ask for any wish because that he was very happy.
My moral is the happiness of others is not your happiness.
Moral of my companion learn to appreciate what you have before you lose it.
MY SHOES
ReplyDeleteIn a park there is a boy who has a pair of broken shoes. When he sees other boys with beautiful shoes, he feels so bad because he thinks that his old broken shoes are not enough for him. He is so sad, he decides take his shoes and he starts to play with them, so he puts the broken shoes in his hands as if the shoes were speaking. He sees another child sit down in a park chair, with a beautiful pair of shoes. So, the boy start to tell to his shoes that he want to be like him... But he is not thinking about the consequences of his wish. In this moment arrived the other guy's mother with a wheelchair, and the boy realized the other guy cannot walk, it was unexpected. But the boy sees his broken shoes and thinks, I can walk!, I'm healthy!, I'm happy! and he starts to jump and he laughs.
Partner’s moral: What is more important, the things that adorn out life or the life?
My moral: Sometimes life is not easy, sometimes everything is cloudy and dark, but always everything could be worse.
Thank you.

ReplyDeleteThis story started with a boy sat in the park, It was a beautiful day and the people were happy smiling but, he looked so sad and always looked down because had a pair of old and damaged shoes, he was very embarrassed by it cause he was poor, so we had no money to buy new. He stood up and walked around the park, then sopped in the middle of a bridge and looked down again without doing much.
He continued walking and stopped again in a chair, next to him was another boy, he had a beautiful pair of shoes and looked news, the boy was sadder, the another boy smile greets him but he looked at his shoes, then compared them with yours and feeling bad he decided to walk away, then he sat down of a tree, he takes of his shoes and use them as puppetry, but then he wished to be that boy, and his wish was fulfilled.
He became in that boy with beautiful shoes, he looked the another boy and was happy playing in the park, but he didn’t know the tragedy that this boy had, and was when a woman came in with a wheelchair, he realized that he couldn’t walk.
The moral of my partner:
“The moral in the story is that we must value our lives and don’t’ feel envy for other people because maybe they have more money or things but maybe they are not happy”.
My moral is: we have to appreciate the things you have and not compare themselves to others because we are unique and special and therefore have valuable things that others don’t have.
My shoes
ReplyDeleteOne day I was walking in the park, I walked for three minutes and then I sat for to look what was happening around me. I saw a poor boy, he was running around a tree, he looked happy, suddenly he stopped and sat beside a tree then he looked his broken shoes, he thought that the people laughed by his shoes. There also was another child, he was sitting on a park chair and he was alone, he had new shoes but he looked sad.
Later the poor boy started to speak with his shoes, he was very sad, some minutes passed and he wanted to be like the boy who was sitting on the park chair, afterwards he became in another child. At the beginning the children looked happy, one of them was running and crying because it was very cheerful, the other child looked sad and amazed.
At the end, the poor boy was sitting on a park chair. Then arrived an old woman with a wheelchair, the boy was amazed, now he had new shoes but he couldn't move. The other child was very happy because he could walk, he didn't mind being poor.
My moral: Money can’t buy happiness, we must be conformist with the things that we have. Be healthy is better than have a lot of money. We should think before act. The money isn't everything in the life.
Partner’s moral: we have to be comfort with the things that we have, we shouldn’t wish the things that have another people and be happy with our things because I don’t know what could happen if we become in another person.

ReplyDeleteThis is the Emilio's story, a guy who was too poor, he didn't have family, he didn't have money and he didn't have luxury. He only had an old pair of shoes that his grandmother gave him before that she died. When she died, Emilio stayed alone in this world. He loved his shoes because they were the only souvenir of his grandmother.
One day, when he was walking in the park, he saw a guy and he wanted to talk him but he saw the shoes of this guy, then he went to other place. This guy, named Luca, had a beautiful pair of shoes. Emilio felt envy and he asked to God be like Luca.
When he realized, Luca was dressed like him, with old clothes and old shoes, but Luca started to run around the park, while he was sitting in the chair. Then, the Luca's grandmother came to pick up her grandson with a wheelchair. Her grandson couldn't walk.
The moral of my classmate: “When we love something of other people, we don't know how much they love it and we cannot see that”.
My moral: “We must not wish things of other people, because they are happy with them, we must be happy with what we have and we must appreciate that”.
INCOMPLETE HAPPINESS
ReplyDeleteA boy called Simon had a red shoes but he did not like them because they were old and broken. one day he was walking in the park and he was thinking in his life, he thought that he had the worst life. Suddenly he saw a boy seated in a chair, this boy had new clothes and beautiful shoes, he kept walking and found a river, he saw himself In the water and felt really sad, then he went to a tree and started playing with his shoes as poppets, now the shoes were talking about that guy they met in the park and how beautiful looked his new shoes.
Simon only wanted to be like him, he wished to have great shoes, he closed his eyes saying “I want to be like him”. When he opened his eyes something was different, he was sitting in a chair, he had new clothes and a beautiful shoes, on the other side of the park there was a boy running and smiling, this boy was similar to him, he realized that his dream came true. But what happened? He asked, he could not move anything and an old woman was giving to him a wheelchair.
Always we have to think that what we have is important for us, If something in our lives is difficult we should to try getting over it. As an own moral I think that the most important thing in life is health and we should be thankful because we have it.
My shoes
ReplyDeleteI had a pair of blue shoes, I liked a lot and used when he was in the park with my grandmother, One day I was in the park, I saw a poor boy, he was running around a tree, he looked happy, suddenly he stopped and he walked over the bridge, which was on the lake and watch the shoes reflected on the water. He looked his broken shoes and old, the child was sad, sat beside a tree then he looked his broken shoes.
Suddenly the boy looked at me sitting in the chair with my blue shoes, The boy ran to the chair and sat next to me, He looked at my shoes and then looked at his shoes smiled and ran to the tree, when he reached the tree he sat down and took his shoes as puppets and started talking to them.
When he was talking to his shoes, he asked to God be like me, The boy closed his eyes tight and I did the same, when we came to open the eyes because we had changed, I started running screaming with joy,when the other boy wanted to get up and play with me, realized that he could not move his legs then my grandmother came to pick me up from the wheelchair.
The moral of my classmate: I think that the money is important, but the health is more important.
My moral: you never know what you have until you lose it.
My Shoes
ReplyDeleteThere are people laughing, laugh and laugh but there is a boy sad. He cannot smile.
This story is about Sam, a poor boy that he has a broken shoes. He just wants to have a new shoes where he can't see his feet when he see his shoes.
He one day was at park where he saw a happy boy. That boy every time moved his shoes. Sam decides to go sit in that chair next to the happy boy. The happy boy say hello to Sam but He just ignore and goes to another place.
He goes and sits next to a tree and he start to talk with his shoes and tell why he and his shoes are ugly. He just wants to be like another boy, and close his eyes. When he open his eyes and he see that he has the clothes and shoes of another boy and he smile.
The another boy wish to be like the another boy and it happen. The happy boy start to jump around the tree and he start to laugh. Meanwhile Sam sees that the happy boy cannot walk because a woman arrives with a wheelchair and she say Sam "we have to go now".
Classmate’s moral: The moral of this story is that we must value what we have because if we want everything, we don’t think in others when maybe they need more than us.
My moral: “Richer is not who has more but who needs less”. We have to be happy with the stuff we have because those are important stuff for us although as in this story are broken.
My Shoes
ReplyDeleteIt is the story of a boy who was very poor, he was sitting in a chair in the park and felt as if all the people passing around mock him for his broken shoes, so he decided to stand and walk, he came even a small bridge in which he saw his reflection in the water, he felt even more sad, then he went on his way and sat in a chair where another child was, except that he had a cute new shoes, the poor child look him with some envy, but the kid od the new shoeswanted to talk to him, but was rejected, the poor boy stood up and went to sit next to a tree, there he shoes off and started playing with them as if they were puppets and each had a small conversation in which the shoes were wondering why they were ugly? Why could not some nice new shoes?
Then the child began to wish with all her might be the child of the new shoes, he would desire while his dream was realized, there was now sitting in the chair with his new shoes, he was so happy, but his happiness does not last long because a woman pushing a wheelchair approached him, and at that time the boy realized he could not move his legs, in the distance the other boy ran and jumped with the greatest happiness.
From this story we can conclude that the most important thing in life to enjoy the things we have even minimal, because sometimes what we have and that we consider inferior, could be happiness for another person
IN HIS SHOES
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, a boy named Andrew, this child was very poor, he thought he had nothing in his life; he was a different child because he was a sad and lonely child.
A sunny day, he walking through the park, he was thinking about how ugly it was her life until her shoes were awful, the shoes were broken seemed puppets, He often played with his shoes as if they were puppets, suddenly He saw a boy sitting on a chair waaoo the child was really well dressed all her clothes were new, and their shoes were perfect as he has always wanted it.
Sitting under a tree, He wished with all his might to be like the boy he had seen, after a moment, Andrew closed his eyes when Andrew opened his eyes, He had become the boy who had wanted to be, now, He has a lots of money, a lots of clothes, cute shoes. But now He could not walk ever.
Moral: it doesn’t matter how much you have, it matters what you do with what you have.
This video is an interesting way to understand the value of the things. But no material ones, in changes, other ones are more important. In the video we saw a poor guy from the street that was sad by his economic situation, especially by his broken shoes. He met another boy in a chair in the park, but the other one had good clothes and very good shoes, not like him; for this reason the poor boy felt a lot of sadness and he decided to go away from there. He sat under a tree and there he started to think about his ugly shoes. Then, he closed his eyes and wished with all his strength to be like the “rich” boy. Suddenly, the miracle happened. He was in the same chair, with the same clothes and with the same shoes that the rich boy had. In the other side, under the tree the other boy was jumping, running and laughing a lot, he was very happy.
ReplyDeleteA minute after, a kind old lady came for him with a wheelchair, and in that moment he noticed he couldn’t walk, he was a paraplegic person.
I think the moral of this short story is that doesn’t matter what material things you have. The most of the time we are worried by those simple things and we ignore that the most important thing in the world is the health, because with health you can do whatever we want.
