She couldn't see what exactly was going on, but she distinguish a crowd of tall and big men who were destroying the port. The pier was fill with big wholes, the shopping stands were destroyed, everything was a mess. Frida was hiding near her house, so the men could not see her. While she was weondering who were those men, she felt a big sweaty and hairy hand that grabbed her delicate neck, she screamed as loud as she could, but the guy covered with mouth with a rag and tape. The man took Frida to the boat where everyone got out, then a big crew of men gathered arround her. They started to cheer and screamed, then the guy took the rag and the tape of Frida's mouth, so she can speak. "We will do this quickly young lady, so if you don't cooperate, expect horrible thing to happen!, Where is the Sunshine Pearl!?"

Firda didn't answer. They asked again and again and again, but she still didn't answer. "This is your last chance to tell us sweety, we are gonig to find it anyway, we just wanna find it quickly and don't hurt anybody!" one man said. "I don't believe you, and you won't hear anything from me or form any sunshiner, our job is to protect the pearl." That's it we are just waisting or time!, Kill her Smith!", "but sir you said..", "I know what I said, but know I'm saying something else!, KILL HER NOW!", and a shot gun was heard all over Sunshine Port, Frida was dead. Suddenly all the sunshiners woke up and saw the devastation themselves. They were horrified.

The pirates got up in the boat as soon as they can, and threw Frida's body into the sand. When the pirates left, her family ran to the sand to get Frida's body. Thay sreamed, cryed their heart out, they didn't know what happened. From that day on, no one ever went to Sunshine Port, which was named Shadow Port now. They remembered the girl who gave her life in vain to save her beloved port, but when Frida's life was taken, Sunshine life was taken too.

The two brothers and the forest

Once upon a time, in Holland, there were two brothers, a boy and a girl. Their names were Ana and Mark and they lived with their mom in a little house near a forest. This forest was an ugly burned forest were no one liked to walk through because it was all deteriorated and at night it was scary. The two brothers weren't that helpful because when they went there they would only throw papers of the candies and cut the trees with razors, specially Mark.

Once, they were bored at their house when Mark created a game. He told his sister if she wanted to join him and Ana, without knowing the plan, accepted. They went to the middle of the forest and Mark started throwing all kinds of colored paper and candies. Ana was supposed to find the way out of the forest to the house in the most little time. She started alone very well and found the candies, but suddenly, there were two paths, both with papers and candies. The sun was about to hide and she didn't knew which path to follow so she started to cry. Then, she decided for to go right and she went there.

Meanwhile, Mark was at his house starting to worry about his sister because it was late. So he told her mom and after punishing him, they went to look for her and after finding her they went to sleep angry with each other. Next morning when they woke up, they found out that their mother was not breathing in he bed. They knew that she had heart attaks and cant had strong feelings, so they called an ambulance and found out her mother had died the night before. That house wasn't theirs so they left out the two brothers, and without a house, they went to sleep to the forest with all their belongings.

Ana was scared of the forest, so Mark build a little house of wood so they could spend some days there while they could bought another one. The first days, Ana didn't liked it at all, because it reminded her the bad moments there so she didnt go out unless she needed. Mark went out to recolect fruits to eat. And while months passed, Ana was getting slowly used to it, she went out to play with her brother but only near the house but before the sun could hide, she was inn the house.

A year passed when Ana started to help his brother to recolect fruits and other stuff to eat, she didnt had fear of the forest anymore. Ana started to like the forest actually, and she started to regret all the bad stuff she did to them a year ago. She started to water the trees and plants there so they could look better. One day, Mark arrived with a good news, he had obtained a good house in the other side of the city. He told Ana to pack all the stuff, but Ana didn't liked the new. She told Mark that she didn't wanted to go far away from there and that she actually liked it, she told him that she wanted to stay, Mark was ok with that so they stay there. When years passed, the forest wasn't anymore an ugly and scary place, families went there to eat lunch and had picnics. Ana and Mark always watered the plants and made a beautiful place with the forest and stayed there happily ever after.

Separate Ways

Once upon a time, there was a very beautiful couple that were always together. Their names were Anibal and Micaela. Anibal was a very handsom guy of 17 years old, and Micaela was the prettiest and sexiest girl of the high school they were in. All of the girls wanted to be Anibal's girlfriends but he only had eyes for Micaela.

The summer vacations were arriving and of course the end of the last semester too. Anibal was going to Monterrey for studying medicine and Micaela was staying in Hermosillo studying architecture. They knew that they were going to be separated for a while, but they were going to visit each every 3 to 4 months. After 5 years of career, they promised to marry, and they were going to wait for each other.

The next months passed, arriving the prom and the goodbyes. During the prom, Anibal and Micaela promised that they were going to be together for ever and always and that nothing was going to separate them. The next day Anibal was taking the plane to Monterrey because he needed to arrange some things and he was staying there for the next 4 months of his semester. The goodbye was very sad for both of them, tears followed when they separated. Iñaki, Micaela's best friend was with her in the parting. Iñaki was in love with Micaela since first semester he met her, but he never told his feelings to her because he knew she loved someone else.

From then on, things changed, Micaela was very sad, she was not as outgoing as she was before and nothing and nobody could fill her emptiness. Iñaki always did things in order to make her feel better, and he achieve it. The months passed and Micaela and Iñaki were more united than ever, but she didn't notice that little by little her sadness was disappearing, but also her love to Anibal. Micaela noticed that her thoughts about Anibal were going out of her head, and she knew that that was wrong, that she couldn't fall in love of her best friend.

Four months passed, and Anibal arrived to Hermosillo as he said he would do it. When he saw Micaela he gave her the violets she loved, and kissed her. In that moment Micaela realized that she didn't love him anymore. She didn't feel anything at the moment his lips touch hers and she better told him the truth. Micaela told him that unfortunately things were not going to work the way they planned, that they had to go through different ways and maybe one day their ways may meet each other, but by the time they have to break up. This was a very sad new to Anibal, that he was arriving with all the emotion to see his love, and to break up with her all of a sudden. But later he understood that, and also understood that Iñaki and Micaela were starting a relationship.

How to maintain a good relationship with somebody from another culture.

How to maintain a good relationship with somebody from another culture.
brainstorming
- Try to not compare your religion
- Don't ask uncomfortable questions
- Careful with the things you say
- Respect their activities
- Show interest in the things they tell you
- Don't watch them with a bad face
- Be tolerant

To have a good relationship with a person from another culture, you have to follow several steps. It is not easy to have new relationships with somebody that comes form other part of the world. Sometimes you are going to be with persons that are not going to share the same ideas as you, but you have to respect them. Is very nice to know new things, to learn things from other persons, specially if they are from other parts of the world and that makes you a wiser person. You can also share to them things about your country, but always respecting each other's origins.

First of all, you have to present each other, to know where they come from and what they are here from. Never start with too much questions, because you may bother the person you're talking with. That person will be telling you all he or she wants you to know. Of course you can ask all the questions you want, at least you respect their culture. You can also be introducing yourself bye telling them what things are used to do in the place you live.

The second step is, if you don't know anything about their culture, for preventing misunderstandings investigate what is about. It will be very appropiate to know what things to say and waht things to don't. Sometimes people think that if some things are done in their countries, they will be also practiced in other parts, but that's wrong. It's better to know what conversations you can have and prevent fights. Religion is a very controversial subject, so it's better not to touch it. If you're going to talk about religion just ask about what they are used to do in important days, not to compare and argue about which is better.

Finally, when you know already that person, you can invite him or her to your house. It will be very appropiate because the invited person will learn what things are done in the new city where he or she is living. The person will know the costumes, traditions and all the things to be a mexican. Obviously, if there are things that in his os her city are forbidden, don't force to do anything, but don't stop to do it either. Both of you will learn what the other's castumes and traditions are, and you will learn to tolerate each other. It will be interesting for both of you to learn new things and also to know how people from other parts of the world live.
