Story #1

Once upon a time, there lived a dog and a cat. They lived in a small, comfortable house. There they had TV and internet, modern furniture and a lot of eggs. Every night the dog and cat sat on the sofa and watched TV. But once there was a football game on TV at the same time as a concert. The dog wanted to watch the football match but the cat wanted to watch the concert. They didn’t know what to do. So they decided that the cat could watch the concert for ten minutes and then the dog could watch the football match for ten minutes. But the dog decided that he didn’t want to wait so long and they decided to watch the boxing match of V. Klychko and another guy. But that match didn’t last too long. It lasted only about five minutes and then they didn’t know what to watch, but “Boom” there was a cartoon “CatDog” on Noviy Channel and they sat on sofa together to watch it. They saw how hard it was to live as cat and dog and they understood that they shouldn’t be angry in any situation and they should always agree with one another.

I want to be a pop star in Hollywood.” And the Eagle said, “Ok, darling. But first of all you must have a casting, because it’s not so easy to become a pop-star.

This is a true love story
And it is not a kind of glory
When love comes to your heart
It becomes of your life’s part
People dream about it all the time
When a true love will be mine.
A boy and a girl, they met each other
They fell in love with one another
They smile, they sing, they simply
Lived in life of dream
And it was like a happy scream.
The love just brought them on her wings
And there weren’t in the life any other things.
But everything that’s good has an end.
The time of life passed like the sand
And this love also finished soon.
It swam away with stars and moon.

It was Christmas Day. Everybody was happy. It was snowing and all people were dreaming. Children and adults got a lot of presents. We can see a happy family in the picture. They are going to somebody’s house. I guess they want to visit somebody. A little boy made a very nice snowman. He is very beautiful. He is smiling so even we want to play with him. This picture takes us back to childhood because when we were little children, Christmas was the happiest. It was great to decorate the Christmas tree, to open gifts, make snowmen or to just play snowballs.
