Martín and the dogs

Long time ago two dogs were living in the streets. These dogs were starving. One day Martín, a boy, found these dogs and took them to his house. This house was small  and humble.

The new technology

Once upon a time there were two cell-phones. One day the old cell-phone was walking in the street and the new cell-phone began mocking at him. “You don’t have a camera,” said the new cell-phone.                                                                                               

Just then a wind blew and threw the two cell-phones.                                                           

The new cell-phone was broken but the old one wasn’t. Then the old cell-phone said, “The newest isn’t always the best”

One fine day, a mother crab and her son were on the beach.
