¡Greetings to all!
First of all, I apologize for my absence for almost a month. Today after a long time of work, I share my first illustrated children's story. This story is based on one of the anecdotes experienced in his childhood by some of my relatives (uncles), who used to be counted by them in family gatherings. In those meetings I loved listening to their stories and I used to have a lot of fun, so as a way to "honor" my family, I wanted to write and illustrate, one of the many funniest anecdotes and with a great lesson for naughty children lived by my uncles.
Without more to say, I hope you enjoy this post and of course, the next ones. I present my first illustrated children's story entitled "The Doll".
✨ The Doll ✨
Dona Leo's children were very naughty. There were four brothers: Sergio, eleven years old, Sonia, nine Prusa, seven and Roger six. They used to play a game called "the doll". This consisted of climbing a very tall mango tree while one of the players, the pitcher, stayed down on the ground, with a rubber doll in his hand that was to be thrown with great force upwards until hitting some of the the infants climbed on the tree. The beaten then happened to be "the loser" reason why it had to lower as quickly as possible of the tree and to seize of the doll to send it again upwards before his companion, the fresh launcher, climbed to the bush. For them this was fun, but dangerous, since the mango tree was planted in a huge sand box but limited by a concrete floor. The screaming of the boys was bigger when the two players, pitcher and loser, crossed, the first climbing to shelter between the foliage of the branches and the other down to pick up the doll thrown in the dream. There you could hear:
¡Throw it Prusita!
And to the players perched and in solidarity with the new pitcher who climbs:
¡Hurry Prusita before Roger gets down and the doll touches you!
This situation was maintained for many years until one of those involved ended up stuck in the ground with his face full of sand and saying:
¡Tell mom!
Poor Sergio had the bad luck to hold on to a dry branch that was broken by the action of the weight of his body, but nevertheless he ran with the great good fortune of not falling into the cemented area.
And that was how Prusita, the most serious and silent sister of the four, had the cumbersome mission of bringing the news of the accident to her mother. He crossed the living room of the house with great care and opened the door of his parents' room, where they conversed pleasantly, he said with a serious face and a very low voice:
Mom, Sergio fell.
Dona Leo, of course, her eyes widened. And so it happened that Sergio, the unfortunate player, had to stay in bed for two weeks taking infusions of the tender leaves of the mango bush from which he fell and receiving poultices from the mango leaves boiled and placed around the waist and Back held with plastic bag.
And until that day came "the doll", because the children of Dona Leo never had the courage to climb that mango tree so loved and remembered, but since then watched with mistrust.
Thank you very much for reading my little story, I hope you liked it. It's the first time I write and illustrate a story, so I hope you can support me with a comment, suggestion, reesteem or your valuable vote, it would help me a lot. Without further ado, I say goodbye and wish you a good day.
