At Work

IntroductionWe could start with the Cabriolet describing the life of a very rich woman ( Nadia or ….... ) who has everything a woman can wish for..........as introduction to the story.

She lived with an expensive car, exotic trips with friends (our group could be the friends) ,safaris in Kenya {watching rhinos can be her hobby}, success in sports ( a gold medal in diving , for instance } and a husband who loves buying her expensive presents ( pearls, sunglasses ( the collection is so important ) on their anniversaries and not only .BUT still there was something missing from her life . Despite her riches there was a gap ,deep inside she was unhappy as she did not have the most precious gift that of a child.When one day she realizes she is pregnant she feels the sun smiling at her, the birds singing her happiness ….....Now she has the baby handprint in her heart, the most precious pearl of all, which makes her feel the world through the colourful glasses of life . Now she feels fulfilled and truly rich.

I would like however a different version, something humoristic perhaps but I can’t think of any.( Maria )

Reading again: I should suggest a dream as a modern Cinderella working somewhere in Europe and dreaming ... about sport

And she was also quite good in running and her dream was to participate to Olimpics Games and to win the gold medal in the fastest run: 100 m.about travel,........ to be in Africa due the big Four tour“richesse” plenty of new dresses and shoes and........and discovering …......real richesse near the people you live with and not far away …........ and then the baby and.....

Dreams. King and Prince Party

And one night the dreams started early :

Cinderella was sweeping the floor when Santa and Little Fairy visited her that afternoon. Hello little lady said Santa “as much as we can see, all the town is empty but why are you here alone?” “Don’t you know, said Cinderella all the

people went to Şirince because according to the Mayan Calendar 21st of December is the end of the world. So this is Doomsday and my stepmother took my stepsisters there leaving me here in case Mayans were wrong and when she is back she wanted the supper be ready.

“But...” said the little fairy “I’ve heard that The King is giving a last party tonight. The prince and a lot of handsome gentlemen will be there, too. ”“Oh how I wish to be in the party but I don’t think I can go there because, although I have my driving license it takes more than 24 hours from Athens to Şirince. I don’t mention about the flights as all of them are full.”

“Don’t worry for that my little child” said Santa,“Why do you think my old fellow-deers are for? You can have my sledge and I have a stylish love-necked evening dress of Dolce&Gabbana in my sack for you, too. You will look terrific in it.”

"and the poor necklace of yours will turn into a pearl bracelet" said the little fairy adding "also you will be a rich duchess with Santa's sledge being turned into a red Cabriolet."thank you both" ,said Cinderella "you are very kind people, I wish my stepmother could have just half-of your kindness". She got on the sledge or let's say her Cabriolet and was about to take off when she hardly heard Santa shouting, "Cinderella, my child don't forget you shouldn't drink alcohol during the party otherwise the deers will return here without you!!"

When Cindy (yes, on her way she had decided to change her old-fashioned name) finally managed to park her car and reach the party yard after a long struggle it was late evening. One would expect our prom-queen Cindy to take all eyes on with her pearls and stylish Dolce&Gabbana, but it really didn’t happen that way. Nobody cared or they didn’t notice her as they were already drunk, and were busy talking, laughing, crying, arguing or kissing. Her eyes searched for the Prince but she was late for him as he had already gone with Ariel .(a girl but ı cant come up an nice word for it, leave it for editing).

First Cindy tried to enjoy herself dancing in the party but as time passed she got stressed being alone and nobody to enjoy the time with. Coming here her plans were different. She had planned to marry the Prince but as Prince was not available she had to find a rich gentleman ( by Ozgur to be continued)

Dream Africans Safari

The last time she was on vacation in Kenya,she was walking in the streets of Nairobi when she ran into a poor child crying.She asked why he was crying and he told her that he was lost and didn’t know how to return back home. When she heard that, she had not any doubt about offering him her help. She told him that she will take him to his home if the boy did not mind.The boy who was lost two days ago, could not believe himself, so he accepted her help.

The first thing she did was to go to the local police. When the boy told them where he lived, police said that he was from a village 8 hours from Nairobi and the roads were very bad and dangerous to get there. She did not care. She hired a driver and a bodyguard to accompany the child to that place. Finally it took a day and half to get there because it was rainy season and they had to wait because of the rain several times. Once there, she saw that it was a very nice small town, similar to the Masai village but modernized. The boy took the hand of her to carry her to his house. When they reached it, his parents had given him up for lost or abducted so their joy was immense.

They said that as they were so grateful they would like to offer her a great free safari where she could admire the wildlife of their local animal. She could see giraffes, elephants, rhinos, lions and many more exotic animals. She said she would accept the invitation with pleasure, but had to return because her husband came to Nairobi this weekend and then both of them would return to that wonderful place for safari.

Two weeks later, she and her husband went back as she had promised and safari was much more exciting than she could ever imagine. When finished the safari, she told the village chief that she would never forget that day and was very grateful for the great present they had given them. (Jose Luis)

the end of the story could be sth like: Yet there was something missing. Although she was in the lap of luxury ,tears were coming down her eyes at nights and a knob in her stomach kept her awake till the early hours.Her life dream has not been fulfilled yet. A baby in her arms, a wishful desire of years.

And one day Cidy realized that she was pregnant ...and a few months later she was holding her little angel ,the most valuable pearl who had set his handprint in her heart for everShe then realised that real beauty is seen through the colorful glasses of life creation and is worth all the treasures of the world. Now she was the richest woman in the world.
