Dont talk Tortoise!

There was a Tortoise, who lived with two ducks, in a pond. They were good friends. The tortoise was every time talking.
Some years later the pond started to dried, and finally there was no water. The two Ducks decided to fly to another place, in which they would have water… “Oh, don't leave me behind!" begged the Tortoise.
The Ducks felt very sorry, so the thought of a way to take the tortoise with them. They thought a way that could be possible, "if only you can manage to keep still long enough. We will each take hold of one end of a stout stick, and do you take the middle in your mouth; then we will fly up in the air with you and carry you with us. But remember not to talk! If you open your mouth, you are lost."

She said that she would not talk, she was very grateful. The Ducks brought a strong little stick, while the Tortoise bit on the middle, The Ducks rose slowly in the air.

When they above the treetops, the Tortoise wanted to talk, but she remember that she can’t.  When they passed up the church roof she wanted to say "What is that tall building?" but she remain in silence.  Then they flew up of the village and the people looked at them, because the ducks were carrying the Tortoise. "What is that tall building?" but she can not talk, so she didn’t said a word.  But people in the village start saying that, that was very strange . She could not remain in silence and she shout "Hush, you foolish people!". She felt in the floor, and that was the end of the Tortoise

La vida de Persefone

La vida de Persefone
(Sofia y Franco)

       En clase nos dividimos en grupos de a dos y a cada grupo le toco un dios. Con este dios lo que había que hacer era hacer un texto con información como sus características, donde vivía, sus mitos, etc. En este caso nos toco la diosa Perséfone, la diosa del inframundo:

    Perséfone era una bella diosa, que según la mitología griega era hija de Zeuz el dios más poderoso y de Deméter la diosa de la agricultura y la cosecha.Ella era dulce, divertida, romántica y sin metas claras hasta que un día cuando cosechaba flores Hades el rey del inframundo la raptó y se la llevó con el al infierno, desde entonces ella vivió con Hades bajo tierra durante 6 meses hasta que volvió con su madre quien la buscaba sin parar. Ellas dos representaban para los antiguos pueblos los poderes de la naturaleza, su transformación y la emergencia cíclica. También es una de las diosas que mas a inspirado a los artistas a lo largo de la historia con su nombre que en griego significa " la que lleva la muerte". Ella a aparecido en un mito que hemos leído " Orfeo y Euridice" también apareció en el mito " el rapto de Perséfone" donde se explica como fue secuestrada por Hades.
