Peter and the wolf


When we are children, our parents always tell us stories or accounts to teach us something.
It is very common that when we grow up we tell the same stories to our children and continue through the years.
A very old story, but very good one is the Peter and the Wolf. My mom told us this story to my sisters and me, when I was 5 years old.
One day a boy named Peter was working in the garden of his father where he had planted lettuce. Suddenly he began to cry "wolf, wolf, help me please!" and many people came running to help him, but it was only a lie of the child. People were very angry and they went home. Peter laughed for the joke that he  had done to his neighbors and his parents.
Another day while everyone was working on their farms, Pedrito began to scream again that the wolf came, screaming and screaming, many people quickly ran to help him but it was another lie. The angry neighbors returned to their work and the child's parents punished him for the joke he had made. Parents warned that continued to scream and lie, in the end nobody would believe him.
A week later, Peter was playing on the farm and suddenly appeared a huge, ferocious wolf who wanted to steal all the vegetables from her father. The child screamed and screamed but no one helped. Finally the wolf stole lettuce, carrots, potatoes, corn, etc. Peter ran home and began to mourn.
When he saw his parents, he told them what had happened and they gave him a big hug. His father told him that he had warned that there was to make jokes because if it were true nobody would come to help, and that was it. Pedrito learned his lesson, he apologized to the people of the village and never lied.
The moral of this story leaves us is that we should never lie, we must always tell the truth because, so people will believe what we say and they always help us.
Moreover, we must trust on our parents and we should accept what they tell us because they always will protect us.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.-
