Dangerous Money
Story Writing Class – 2nd August, 2012
The man put the gun between his teeth so that it wouldn’t get wet and jumped in the sea, swimming like a dog towards the boat. But after a few meters he stopped and started to yell, "I can't swim. Help me! Help me!” They wondered what that man was doing with a gun in his hand. This couple didn’t want to take a risk so they ran away and called the police.
After that, some police come to the sea and found the man and they tried to help him. They found out he was the most dangerous criminal who cannot swim. So the man was arrested
The police took Armand and Julie to the police station to interrogate them. They said they had never seen the man before but the police didn't believe them. They were convinced that Julie and Armand were helping the criminal.

Music for Lions
DT-ESL - Story Writing Class - 20th July, 2012
1. Mike worked for the circus. He helped to set up the tents for each show. One night the lion tamer was practising his act with one lion while the other five lions sat on their stools.
2. Suddenly one lion got down off its stool. It started to creep on its belly across the floor to the door. The lion tamer was looking at the other lion and did not see it.
3. Since I was child, I have been very much in love with music. I remembered when my dad bought a piano for us children. It was a small one but it was very useful for me. I tried to improve and train myself to be skilled although there was no teacher.
4. I have tried for a very long time but I want to train to get better. So I tried to take some samples from the internet. Greetings everybody. Now I am ready to train my skills.
Bimbo, Ringo and the elephants
DTESL - STORY CLASS - 12th July, 2012
1. The woman stopped at the corner to check for cars.
She began to cross the street and then she screamed as a huge truck with two circus elephants on the back came speeding down the road towards her.
2. She ran fast when she saw the truck with two elephants, then the truck passed by her. She was stunned there and asked herself “What was going on? The truck driver sounded the horn so loudly that even the elephants raised their trunks, frightened by the sound.
3. Her name was Bimbo, today it was her birthday, Friday the 13th. She couldn't feel her body, as if she was a ghost. The driver couldn't believe his eyes. He got out of the truck, let the elephants down too, so they could take a pee and a drink, and started to walk towards Bimbo.

Dreams of a little girl and the dancers in the music box
Story Class - Friday July 6, 2012
1. A little girl sat snuggled on her grandmother’s soft floral armchair and rested her chin on her hand gazing at a smooth glass bottle that played a little Spanish tune. Inside the bottle two tiny ballroom dancers twirled around in each other’s arms in time with the music as their legs twiddled away uselessly beneath them.
2. The child took the music box with two hands and saw that there are many white doves that fluttered into the sky. She fell asleep and suddenly dreamed that she was in a beautiful park which had many flowers and it looked like a wedding park. There were many accessories for brides and grooms. She stared around and looked at people dancing.
3. The girl, Susanne, wanted to dance but no one was inviting her. She walked onto the dance floor and started to dance alone. It was like she was invisible.
4. Suddenly, Susanne, saw a table full of food and her eyes widened. There were so many chocolate cakes and she went crazy. She went to grab the chocolate. She didn't realize that someone at the corner watched over her. He had a frown, that's why he stood at the corner. He approached her to ask her name. “Hi, my name is James and yours?”

TOO MANY ALIENS, NOT ENOUGH TIME or: How Aliens Think The World Just Revolves Around Them
Story Class 21st June, 2012
1. It was the year 3000. John and Elizabeth sat quietly together on the grassy hill side, looking up into the peaceful night sky. The stars twinkled against their dark, velvety backdrop, when suddenly a bright light streaked across the horizon. What could that be?
2. Only one person paid attention to it. The other one closed their eyes. But from their right there was a hand that caught that person whose eyes were closed. Suddenly he was alone.
3. She felt the hand that held her so cold and small. She turned her head to the direction of who the hand came from. All of sudden she screamed, "What do you want from me?" She saw an alien beside her and the alien had given her telepathy.
4. Now she could hear the thoughts of the alien as if she were listening to him. But she could not understand the language, and the alien could not understand hers. She wrangled out of the alien's grasp and went back home, looking for her friend.
5. Elizabeth (who was the woman who had been sitting with John, the man) was very afraid now because she had been dragged away by an alien who had given her the power of telepathy. But even having the ability to read his mind made it worse because she could not understand his thoughts.
