694 - The ugly prince.

The Princess was coming down, running, the stairs of the castle, she was very excited for the arrival of the Prince who would be her fiancé; but when she saw him coming through the big doors of the hall, she stopped right where she was, turned around, climbed the stairs back as fast or even faster than how she was coming down of them, and locked herself in her chamber in the highest tower of the castle, from where one could hear her say between sobs:

"I rather kiss a frog! I rather kiss a frog!"

The end.

690 - The race of life.

I was riding a foal who was running unstoppable to the finish line, when I remembered, how in my days of youth I went out for a ride through the meadow till I reached the orchard, where I used to pick a flower of a delicious smell, I stopped there to watch the clouds and pet my horse; I also remembered that when I got back to the city I used to trow a coin in the main square's fountain, where I always found a lady of yellow skin like a quince, to whom I always said hi taking my hat off; but she, she always ignored me, because I have never appeared on the newspaper, and that was the kind of men she liked, those who have been to great theaters and that were famous, because she wanted to live big, in a building as high as the sky; but then, I came back to the reality when I heard the public claiming my name, because I had won the race, then they took me a photo which would be in the first page of the newspaper of tomorrow, and I wonder if that lady would remember when she saw my face in the newspaper of tomorrow.

688 - The ghost.

Everyday when I went out of the house, I saw an old lady sitting in the staircase of the house in face of mine, and I and everyone of the block always waved to the old lady from the afar.

A day, during dinner, It occurred to me to tell my parents:

"Have you thought that someday when the old lady, of the house in face of ours, die, appears sitting in the staircase like if nothing had happened?"

"What old lady are you talking about?"

"The old lady of the house in face of ours, the one who is always sitting in the staircase and waves to everyone who passes by."

"But, son, the house in face of us is abandoned since the old lady who used to live there died when you were two."
