My name is Dipo. I’m
a newspaper boy. I ride my bike to deliver newspapers. Every time I
distribute morning papers, I see many dogs along the way. I like to tease
them. I made fun of them by throwing stones, kicking or “barking”.
One morning, in front
of a football field, I saw a big black dog behind me. I threw a stone at him
but it missed. He chased me until I fell into a ditch. It was smelly from
the garbage and waste. My leg hurt so I screamed.
Luckily, an old lady
came to help me. She beat the dog with a broom. She helped me stand up. When I
looked up, some girls were laughing at me. I didn’t want to look at them. My
clothes were wet and full of dirt. I was so embarrassed. It was really a
traumatic experience. I learned my lesson! I will never tease dogs again.

The Three Sheiks and

Maura, who liked to be thought of as
the most beautiful and powerful queen of Arabia, had many suitors. One by one
she discarded them, until her list was reduced to just three sheiks, all
equally young and handsome, rich and strong. It was very hard to decide who
would be the best of them.
One evening, Maura disguised herself
and went to the camp of the three sheiks, as they were about to have a dinner,
and asked them for something to eat.
The first gave her some leftover food;
the second gave her some unappetizing camel’s tail; the third sheik, who was
called Hakim, offered her some of the most tender and tasty meat. After dinner,
the disguised queen left the sheik’s camp.
The following day the queen invited the
three sheiks to dinner at her palace. She ordered her servants to give each one
exactly what they had given her the evening before.
Hakim, who received a plate of delicious
meat, refused to eat it if the other two could not share it with him, and this
