Once upon a time, there was a lovable panda named Pierre who lived in a zoo in France. Pierre was unlike any other panda because he could speak French fluently. He loved chatting with the visitors who came to see him every day and often impressed them with his excellent French skills.

​

One morning, Pierre woke up in a strange and unfamiliar place. It was not his cozy enclosure at the zoo but a big, open space with trees and grass. Pierre looked around and realized that he was no longer in France but in a country where everyone spoke Spanish. He felt confused and a little scared. How would he communicate with anyone here?

​

As he wandered around, Pierre heard a group of animals chatting in a language he didn't understand. He tried to speak to them in French, but they looked at him as if he were crazy. Pierre soon realized that he needed to learn Spanish to communicate with his new friends.

​

But there was a problem. Pierre's French vocabulary was so ingrained in his mind that he kept mixing up Spanish words with French words. He would say "bonjour" instead of "hola" and "merci" instead of "gracias." This only made things more confusing for him. He didn't like too much in the beggining and he actually had a little prejudiceabout the spanish language.

​

Pierre was determined to learn Spanish, though, and he didn't give up. He listened carefully to the animals around him and tried his best to speak Spanish. He practiced every day, and soon he was able to communicate with his new friends. He was fantastic when he heard words very similar to French in Spanish. For example: "Puente" and "pont" means bridge, "colina" in Spanish means "Colline" in French.

​

As time passed, Pierre asked to his friends how to go back home and the animals who lived there. He was grateful for the opportunity to learn a new language and make new friends. Pierre realized that no matter where you go, it's important to embrace new experiences and never stop learning.

​

Finally, he returned to France, therefore Pierre, The Panda discovered he no longer had a strong grasp of the French language. Like saying that he now more closely identifies with Spain than his former group. His devoted neighborhood pals were moved to embrace other languages and cultures in the same way that Pierre had.

     Once upon a time there was a Little White Mouse in a big castle. One day his mother gave him a Blue Cheese for his birthday: "Happy birthday my son." "Thank you mom!" The Little White Mouse loved the Blue Cheese, he was always playing with the cheese under the table. One day he took his cheese through the castle and started playing with it, rolling it around.

The White Mouse went to the King's throne and continued to roll the Blue cheese. Until the moment he rolled so fast he didn't catch up. The White Mouse ran after his Blue Cheese, but the cheese rolled faster and faster. Until the Little White Mouse stopped in front of the King's luxurious throne.

      The White Mouse sat down and started crying: "My Blue Cheese! How am I going to get it back?" Suddenly he heard a voice: "Meow, why are you crying Little White Mouse?" He looked around and didn't know where that voice was coming from. When he raised his head he realized that the voice was coming from the Siamese Cat who was standing beside the King's throne, looking at him. The Siamese Cat sniffed the White Mouse and asked again, "What's wrong, White Mouse?" "Why are you crying?" The Mouse was shocked to be so close to a huge cat. "Do you speak my language, Siamese Cat?" "Well, I'm here, talking to you!" The White Mouse, still scared, begged the cat to let him go and look for the Blue Cheese, which was a special gift from his mother.

        The Siamese Cat approached the Little White Mouse and made an offer: "My dear friend, I will let you go, but in return I need you to do me a favor." The White Mouse was curious: "What would be the favor?" He replied, "If you give me that cheese, I would like to taste it." The Mouse thought and accepted his offer. Then the cat lifted its paw and released the Little White Mouse. And in the blink of an eye, very happy, the Mouse disappeared from there. When the Siamese Cat realized he was already very far away. Seeing that the White Mouse had left him behind, the Siamese Cat screamed and chased after him: "Little White Mouse, you forgot me! You promised to give me the Blue Cheese." The Mouse shouted from afar laughing, "Haha, I can't believe a strong cat like you believed a weak Mouse like me." The Little White Mouse left the Siamese Cat there and went back to his hiding place.

      When the Cat finally woke up, it was the White Mouse who was sleeping. The Siamese Cat woke him up: "Good night, my Little White Mouse! I have one more wish. If you fulfill this request, I will leave immediately. Meow" Hearing that the Siamese Cat was leaving soon, he was extremely happy, but, he tried to hide it: "Okay! tell me what you want this time." Thinking of making the White Mouse change his mind, the Siamese Cat asked to eat just a piece of the blue cheese that the White Mouse had been given by his mother. The Mouse, as small as an ant, but as bold as a fox, was very angry, but decided to give in to the cat's request to get rid of him. As soon as the Siamese Cat ate the cheese, a bright white light covered the lunchroom. The Little White Mouse could not see anything. After a few seconds, the light disappeared. The mouse was able to see again, but this time he couldn't believe his eyes. Exactly where the Siamese Cat was, there was now a very Handsome Big Mouse. The White Mouse was stunned by what he was seeing. He couldn't believe it. "Who are you?" asked the White Mouse. "Where's the cat that was here?" And the other Mouse replied: "My dear White Mouse, I am your father. The evil King is a wizard. He cast a spell and turned me into what we are most afraid of. Though I can speak, the King said that if I If I told you about the spell, it would make my heart stop beating. Thanks to you, my son, I was saved from being a Siamese cat forever. The White Mouse was very surprised, but also very happy to find that his father had not abandoned him. Both went to Mother to tell the news. On meeting her, Mother said...
