FANCY STORY

Teacher’s task:

There is an object in a small paper – bag (the object was somewhere in the room before). Children have to guess what’s in the bag .They can smell , touch or shake the paper –bag , but they must not open it. They can ask yes /no questions. Finally when they guess the object , they have to write a story which describes life’s object. In this case it was a small statue of a teddy bear , made of gesso.

I

I am a bear and I have a long story.

I was made in Iran. I wasn’t pretty and nobody wanted to buy me. The troop in Iran wanted me to be a robot in a rocket. I didn’t want to be put in the rocket, because I would blow up countries. But the troop did it.

The general said “3, 2…” and I was afraid because after one second I would fly and blow up buildings. But the most important was that I could die.

The general said “1” and fired the rocket.

The rocket started to fly. But the generals didn’t know that I was not a teddy bear. I was a living bear.

I went to the bottom of the rocket and turned off the engines.

Then I went to the other side and dropped out of the rocket the gunpowder and with my secret parachute I got out of the rocket and flew slowly, slowly…

When I landed I saw that I was in Bulgaria. A boy called IVO looked at me and he took me to school “IVAN VAZOV”. Here I am happy now, because I am not for blowing up. IVO – 10 years old

II

I was made in an old house. This house was on a mysterious island.

Long time ago in this house I was made and brought to a shop. There, two children bought me. However, they dropped me on the road.

Years later, a man found me. He repaired me and gave me to his daughter.

She was very happy. Late, the girl grew up and she gave me as a present to her teacher, but a boy broke my little nose.

And I’m still in this room. KRASI – girl – 10 years old

III

I started as a piece of rock in China. They took me in a factory and made me out of gesso. They colored me. I was very beautiful. They sold me. The house of my buyer was very cool. However, he had a cat. It was a very nasty creative. It pushed me! I was broken. Broken into four pieces. But the good man repaired me. He was the Grandfather of a very nice girl. He gave me to her.

It was two days before the girl’s teacher’s birthday. The girl gave me to her teacher. She was very happy and put me on her deck. And now I am in Bulgaria, Sofia, Private Secondary School “IVAN VAZOV”, in the classroom of fourth grade , on the teacher’s desk.

This is the story of my journey, from China to Bulgaria.
