"Have an apple!", said Papi to the Little Girl.
"Why Papi?", asked the Little Girl.
"The Apple will make you have good white teeth, you like white teeth?", asked Papi.

"The downstairs neighbor has brown teeth Papi, he does not eat apples?", asked the Little Girl.
"Yes, that is right, he does not eat apples!", answered Papi.
"And the lady we pay things at the supermarket as yellow teeth, she does not eat apples?", asked the Little Girl.

"I don't want to have yellow or brown teeth Papi", said the Little Girl.
"Then Papi will get you an apple everyday for breakfast!", said Papi.
"Yeepee!", shouted the Little Girl.
"What do we eat for a cold and running nose Papi?", asked the Little Girl.
"For that we need to have an orange or orange juice!", said Papi.
"I want orange juice Papi!", said the Little Girl.
"Why, have you a cold?", asked Papi.
"No, but Pink Girl and Blue Boy have a cold, they don't drink orange juice?", asked the Little Girl.
"Probably not everyday, let's get you an orange juice!", said Papi, "Do you want a banana Little Girl?"
"Why do I need a banana Papi?", asked the Little Girl.

"When is your birthday ?"
"It's when yesterday I am like this", and the Little Girl showed 4 fingers, "and then I become like this." showed the Little Girl proudly 5 fingers.
"That is so nice :) And you think Mickey is waiting for you ?", asked Papi!

"Yes, he wants to have breakfast with me, and then he wants me to visit him at the cinema, and then he wants me to take a picture with me..." started explaining very excitedly the Little Girl.

"I am dirty, I want to take a bath!", the Little Girl heard a voice, but she did not know where the voice came from.

"I am dirty, I want to take a bath, I hurt when I am dirty", The Little Girl heard the voice one more time. The Little Girl did not know where the voice came from, but she knew it should be near.

"I am dirty, I am all covered in a sticky sweet liquid", said the voice once more.

The voice seemed to come from inside the Little Girl.

The Little Girl went to look at the mirror, and when she opened the mouth she saw the little tooth complaining. "I am dirty!".

The Little Girl touched the little tooth. "Ouch!", said the tooth. "You are sticky!", said the Little Girl.

"Oh!, and your other tooth friends are also dirty!", observed the Little Girl.

The Little Girl picked up the tooth brush and the tooth paste. She brushed the tooth to clean it, then she brushed the other teeth. She held the plastic cup with water, took a sip and washed the tooth paste away from the teeth. She throw the water away.

She used the special towel for the teeth, the white stripe floss, and with that she cleaned between the teeth.

She opened the mouth to see the teeth. the teeth were all shining.

The Little Girl smiled, what a beautiful smile she has, with all the white teeth.

The Volcano

I always feel like my children are adventuring when we go to a theme park. Do you take your children to theme parks ? Do they get a feeling of exploring a new world ? Does it feel like an adventure always bringing new surprises ? Do your kids feel like it'S real life for them ? Do you role-play the adventure with them ? Do you make them play their part in the adventure ? Do you tell stories the next days enhancing the experience of the memories created ? Tell me your story, here is mine...

The Little Girl entered the dense forest. The forest was dense and as she walked through she had to get the giant palm leaves of her way. She couldn't see except for the next giant leaf in front of her. She remembered stories of people who used the giant leafs as plates to eat food. It was said the food was tastier when you ate the vegetables off the giant leafs with your own hands. Fried bananas on the leaves with rice was the favorite food of the Little Girl's friend.
She wondered what fruits she could see on the plants, she believed she saw bananas, mangoes and coconuts. And she liked all those fruits.
Another giant leaf in front of the Little Girl. The leaves were so big that it was hard for the Little Girl to push the leaves so she could pass. A monkey came by the Little Girl, he was standing in a branch just above the banana tree leaves. The monkey looked curious at the Little Girl, and the Little Girl looked back curious at the monkey.

The monkey gave a big shout and the Little Girl stopped. When the Little Girl looked down in front of her, she could see a river, and she was on a ledge. The monkey saved the little girl from falling. The Little Girl gave the monkey a big smile. The monkey came down from the branch and gave a piece of mango to the Little Girl. That piece of mango was so sweet, the Little Girl delighted herself with the sweet mango.

She started climbing down the ledge towards the river, and the monkey led her way down through a safe passage. The Little Girl climbed down the ledge excited, she could see other kids crossing the river in wooden rafts. She wanted to cross the river in a raft.
As she approached the river, there was a dock with an old man with a big beard. The old man looked like Nicholas, but was not dressed in the red suit the Little Girl found very funny. But it was not snowing, the red suit would be to hot now.
The old man said: "Hello Little Girl, do you have something for me ?". The Little Girl remembered the coin Papi gave her. She fetched the silver shiny coin from her pocket and gave it to the old man. the old man pulled a wooden raft and helped the Little Girl get on top. He then pushed the raft to the river with a long staff. The Little Girl was excited has she crossed the river. The monkey sat on the raft, sticking it's fingers in the water as to test the temperature. She reached the other side of the river and continued her journey. The monkey followed her.
The trail was full of dangers, first a big pit, the Little Girl needed to swing on a rope to cross the pit. The was a muddy slide, as the Little Girl slide down, she could feel the increasing speed and the shouts of the monkey behind her. They soon reached the bottom of the slide and continued the muddy trail. They had to push many balls that where in their path to reach the other side. Once they reached it they found a huge net which they climbed. A narrow passage was in front of them, and the Little Girl just ran sideways into it. Soon after they reached the end of the trail, and they saw a majestic volcano.
Guarding the path to the volcano was a mighty dragon. Each of the dragon's teeth was the size of the little girl. But that did not inspire any fear on the Little Girl's heart, instead she leaned forward with the monkey and jumped on each giant leaf surrounding the mighty dragon, the leaves acted like a trampoline and the Little girl jumped high enough to go over the head of the mighty dragon as it breathed the fire. She followed the monkey. She jumped once on the dragon's head and slide down the dragon's tail. She was again in the path of the volcano, and nothing more to stop her from reaching it.
The volcano laid in front of them, and the Little Girl started to climb, but the climb was slippery, for the volcano spit a liquid mud that made the climbing difficult. The monkey could not climb any further, but the Little Girl did not quit trying, she continued to climb. At a moment it looked like for each step she gave forward that she slide back two steps. But she continued, she insisted, and as the climb became more slanted the Little Girl climbed more slowly and more carefully selecting with precision each placeholder for the hands and feet. She climbed, some moments she almost felt quit, but somehow she felt encouraged to continue. She saw other kids failing to reach the top, one after another she saw them returning to the volcano base. But not her, she continued and pressed on with all her courage and determination.
She reached the top of the volcano! She sat for a while, admiring the surrounding, seeing everybody from high above, seeing the other kids failing halfway. She was victorious. Today was her day.
