BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

    It was a dark night. In a house, on the outskirts of a village, there was a mum with her baby.There were poor, and the baby got sick and her mother went out and shouted for help, but nobady listened to her, because of the storm. Then, she saw a procession, and she went there to ask for a canddle. Someone gaves her one, but she said to her, she must have something in return. When the mother came home, she took care of the baby all night. Then, the baby and the mother went to sleep. In the morning, the baby was fine, but where the canddle was, there was a leg bone. The mother was very scared and she went to church, to talk to the priest. He explained to her what happened, it was a spirit procession. She had to return the leg bone to a spirit. At night time, everyone was praying in their houses for her. The mother went to the cementery and placed the leg bone on the floor so that the spirit could take it and leave her alone. She watched a woman limping and suddlenly, the mother gave the leg bone to that woman. She heard a voice saying - I will not take you with me, not because you carry so many crosses over but because all the people from the village are praying for you - Finally, the procession moved on and the mother went home happy with her baby.

  6. THE PAINTING.

    It seemed quite a normal painting when it arrived through the post. Uncle Harry, who was a sailor, often sent my mother presents from exotic places. The stamp on the parcel indicated that it had been posted in Papua New Guinea.The painting didn't seem to have anything to do with that country; it depicted a typical beach scene which could be from any European country. Children were running across grassy sandbanks towards the blue of the sea on a hot sunny day. It was a pleasant painting.

    Mum hung it at the end of the bedroom passage-way where the light from the window fell on it. I often sat in my favourite seat looking out of the window, but many times my eyes would be drawn towards the painting. The colours appeared to change according to the light. It sometimes was green and sometimes blue. One day it seemed that the grass had grown and the children were no longer running across sandbanks but through lush meadows. The blue sky changed before my eyes and white fluffy clouds disappeared and the sky became grey and overcast. Then rain began to fall on the children who seemed to be suddenly hunched up protecting themselves from the cold wind. I stared at the image unable to avert my eyes. The pitter-patter on the window bought me out of my trance.

    The painting held a fascination for me; I could not pass by it without stopping and staring. Sometimes it glowed yellow, other times it seemed to be wind-swept and on other occasions it was grey with heavy rain. I came to realise that the painting reflected the weather outside and I found myself constantly looking at it, to see if the rain that had begun to fall was now falling in the picture.

    After a while it dawned on me that the picture, more than being a 'reflection', was a barometer; it predicted the weather. I began to observe it regularly and it wasn't long before my theory was proven. The painting anticipated the weather.

    One day I stopped and stared at it and watched with a growing unease. The children were joyfully splashing through puddles, but the water continued to rise, and soon their arms seemed to be stretching out to me, appealing for help. The painting had cast a hypnotic spell over me. I tried to move but I was unable to. Suddenly, a commotion from down stairs jolted me out of my stupor. My father was shouting, the river had overflowed and they were calling for aid in the village.

    I dared not look at the painting for several days after the deluge. It scared me. People had drowned in those floods. But the picture held a sway over me. I could not live without looking at it, and everyday my fear grew.


    Then, one morning the painting seemed to have cracked! I wondered briefly if the constant changing of the colours had made it deteriorate and it had become torn. As I watched, the crack widened.

    Then beneath my feet I felt a sudden, awful movement.

  8. THE DARKEST NIGHT

    Outside the night was very dark, but I knew the place vey well, every little noise I heard, I imagined that someone was in the house. I imagined footsteps, the sound of the trees moving, and I believed they were whishpering and evil voices, and singing og an owl, human voices were horrible. Then I thought "What a strange night" and went to bed and tried to sleep.

    Suddenly, desperantely someone knocked on the door. I jumped up and looked out of the window. Everything was very dark, but I could clearly see, it was a girl, the most beautiful of all girls, terrified by something. She looked back as if someone followed her, and suddenly, she saw me and ran to the window and she cried: -Nicolás! Let me go in Nicolás! They're coming, do not le them catch me! Please..! asked the girl, I decided to help her.

    Entered hurriedly and hid in a corner, trembling. She was very scared, and she would not stop mourning, she had her hands on her face. It is not wrong to say that were outside... I remembered that scene was a old horror movie. When someone shouted: "Get out, bitch!" I turned to her, then I saw that she looked at me through her fingers.

    The took her hands from her face, and it was a horrible witch with the largest tusks, i had ever never seen, and I will never forget that scene happened to me that day.

  10. A VISIT LATE AT NIGHT.

    We are afraid of things that we don't know but... this story is terriflying!

    My mother and I moved to a very old house recently. My mother loves refurnishing old house and the older they are the better, because she can spend more time doing the refurbishment.

    I don't have the same hobbies as my mother but I was really scared that night. The sound of the wind hitting the glass of the windows seemed as if someone was trying to break them. So, I couldn't fall asleep.

    Later, I tried to switch the light on, but it didn't work. How lucky I was! So I got up and went to the corridor. It was very dark and I had to reach the corridor touching the walls but... I touched something strange... It was hair... it is a boy! He started talking to me! And he said: “This is my house! Go away! Get out of my house!” My mother and I left the house...

    Yesterday, I read the newspaper and there was an article related to my old house. A boy died in that place... I will never forget the face of that poor boy!

    The king was hated by the people of the town.
    People said that the spirit is still in the castle, and it goes out at midnight.

    Suddenly someone knoched at the door. I opened the door. There was a strange child.I went to school with him. He was my neighbour. In the school there were some strange children with red eyes. The children were caught by the spirit. They had to come into the castle at midnight and so that everything changed.

    The next midnight the strange child and I were in front of the castle.
    Suddenly I closed the eyes and we were in a dark bedroom. I was scared, then the door opened and I saw a very frightening with red eyes. He wanted to take the control of us. I closed the eyes again. The stronge child had red eyes too.

    I ran and the child followed me. When I was running, the child took a skife that was on the floor. I went to the castle and got in. I destroyed the things of the spirit. And the spirit disappared. Suddenly the children became normal again. And we were very happy.

  19. HORROR STORIE
    I was sleeping when a slight noise woke me up ... at first I didn't know what it was, but I thought they were footsteps approaching my bed. I didn't want to sleep at all, because I suposed that was my father or my sister who had entered a time to maybe take something from my room.
    The steps began to feel closer to my bed... but suddenly I didn't hear anything. I was very afraid. A cry came out of my mouth that did turn me on. This was so strange because my parents didn't come to my bedroom to help me. This was a horrible experience, so be carefull tonight.
