In the small city of Canaima, Venezuela, stands a grand mansion owned by the wealthy Rodríguez family. Their young son, Andres, is often left alone, as his parents are consumed with business. Andres’s only comfort comes from his nanny, Lorena, who cares for him deeply. Though Lorena loves Andres as her own child, she struggles with her own challenges—her son, Camilo, is seriously ill and needs medical attention, but the Rodríguez family remains indifferent to their plight. One night, after a troubling conversation with Andres about his parents’ neglect, Lorena and Andres discover something strange. A mysterious girl, pale and dressed in tattered clothes, appears with a flickering candle, lifting the wooden floorboards and pouring something into a hidden hole beneath the floor. As the girl leaves, she leaves the candle behind. The next night, they return to investigate and find gold coins buried beneath the floor. Lorena’s need to help Camilo leads her to take the coins, paying for medical care. With each night, the temptation to take more grows, until the hole becomes a siren call, drawing them back for more. On the eighth night, as Andres reaches for the coins, he falls into the hole, and Lorena drops the candle, plunging them into darkness. When she relights the candle, the hole has vanished, and both she and Andres are gone. The mansion remains empty, and when workers investigate, they find Andres’s body surrounded by the gold coins. The mansion is said to be cursed, and its eerie silence continues to haunt those who pass by. The mansion still stands in Canaima, abandoned and surrounded by mystery. If you listen closely at night, you might hear a faint voice calling for help: "Please, someone save me... help me..."

Într-o dimineață de primăvară, Fabian porni într-o aventură cum nu mai trăise vreodată—căci astăzi era ziua în care urma să facă Marea Probă a Curajului: recoltarea celor cinci fiole de sânge magic! Mama îi spusese că totul va fi bine, dar Fabian știa că doar cei mai bravi cavaleri puteau trece această încercare fără teamă. Așa că își puse mantia invizibilă a curajului (care arăta exact ca tricoul lui preferat) și păși în Laboratorul Tămăduitorilor, unde o doamnă blândă cu zâmbet cald îl aștepta. Prima fiolă, numită Fioala Vitejiei, fu umplută rapid și străluci ca aurul sub lumina soarelui. A doua, Fioala Înțelepciunii, avea culoarea albastră și păstra secretele băieților curajoși. A treia, Fioala Puterii, era roșie ca focul unui dragon și îi dădea forța de a sta nemișcat. A patra, Fioala Magiei, sclipi în verde smarald, plină de energie ascunsă. Iar ultima, Fioala Răbdării, era limpede ca gheața și dovedi că Fabian trecuse proba cu onoare. Când totul se sfârși, doamna îi lipi pe mână un kleber al bravilor războinici și îi oferi o ciocolată dulce, recompensa supremă pentru un cavaler atât de curajos! Fabian zâmbi victorios—înfruntase teama și câștigase.

“There’s a monster under my bed and I know what you’re going to say but I swear there is! Every night when I’m laying in bed, I can hear it, a strange rumble, then scratch, scratch…. like claws scraping across the floor. So, it must be a monster. There’s no other explanation.” “I lie still trying to listen to the monster rustling about. But when I try to catch a glimpse, it’s always too dark. I can’t see a thing.” “I’ve tried keeping the lights on.” “I’ve tried checking under the bed before bedtime.” “And I’ve tried monster spray, but that just makes it sneeze” “So then I started thinking, what if the monster isn’t bad? What if it’s just lonely and needs a friend? I decided it was time to try something different.” “I take some of my favourite cookies and my favourite teddy. Maybe the monster would like those? So the next night, after dinner, I sneak them into bed. ‘Hi, Mr. Monster!’ I whisper, even though I’m still scared. ‘I brought you cookies…. And Ted, I’ll leave them here if you're hungry, but Ted is for cuddling, not eating!” “The next night, I hear it again: ‘Scratch, grrrrr, scratch!’. But this time I’m ready! I peek over the edge of the bed and wait.” “And then… I see it! A little nose pokes out, sniffing at the cookies, and then… a fat fluffy body and long fluffy tail! It’s not a monster at all! It’s my cat, Oscar!” “Oscar creeps from under the bed, stretches and hops right into my lap! I can’t believe it. The monster was my cat all along!” “Now, every night when I hear scratching under the bed, I smile because I know it’s not a monster. It’s just my cat, and he’s my friend now.” “Now, instead of getting scared, I just pat the bed and say, ‘Come on out, Oscar!’ And he does. Turns out having a monster cat under my bed is pretty awesome”

She was a 10-year-old African American girl with dark skin, big brown eyes and two afro puff ponytails tied with cotton candy looking ribbons. Z'Rica lived with her mom, little sister, and baby sister. They didn't have a home, so the car was their house. The back seat was Z'Rica's bedroom, and she kept her few belongings in a suitcase. At night, she'd sleep under a blanket, dreaming of a different life. Illustration: Z'Rica and her family in their car. Z'Rica is in the backseat, surrounded by her few belongings. Page 2Every day, Z'Rica would go to the library after school. She loved to read and learn new things. The library smelled like old books and felt quiet and peaceful. Z'Rica would get lost in the stories, imagining a different life for herself. She'd read about kids with big houses and loving families, wondering what that would be like. Illustration: Z'Rica walking to the library, carrying her backpack and looking down at a book. Page 3One day, while she was walking to the library, she found a old book and a wooden comb on the ground near the library. The comb was special - it had African patterns carved into it. She picked them up, feeling a strange connection to the comb. She decided to take them home, wondering where they came from. Maybe they belonged to someone important. Illustration: Z'Rica finding the book and comb on the ground. She's bending down, picking them up. Page 4That night, while she was reading the book, the wooden comb started talking to her hair! "Z'Rica, you have a special mission," it said in a low, rumbling voice. Z'Rica was surprised, but also excited. Her hair started talking back to the comb! "What mission?" it asked, looking at the comb. Illustration: The comb talking to Z'Rica's hair. Z'Rica is sitting on her car bed, looking shocked but excited.
