Chinese stories. A children's story about sincerity

This story is ideal for reading to children. With him you can teach him values as important as sincerity and family. And, the family is not only parents and children, grandparents play a very prominent role in the education of children because they can transmit great lessons. Grandfather Filomeno

Grandfather Filomeno, who had been a teacher before retiring, had the biggest belly Martin had ever seen. And Martin had the greatest imagination Grandpa Filomeno had ever known. Martin spent the day inventing stories that explained why it was raining suddenly or who was responsible for lighting the streetlights. Nothing that happened around him happened because of it. That's why he always interrupted the explanations in the school to tell stories and all the teachers had to cut him to tell him:

- Martin, do not tell us Chinese stories.

Tales for children about the grandparents

And Martín stayed with his stories inside, without understanding why they called his stories stories if he was not Chinese, but Albacete.

One day Martin had asked grandfather Filomeno why he had that huge belly.

- Well, because it will be ... because I have eaten many children in my life! All those who behaved badly in class, ñaaam! I devoured them in one bite.

Martin looked at grandfather Filomeno, thoughtful. How was he going to eat children! That sounded like a Chinese story. Of course, Grandpa Filomeno was big as a bear and, although he laughed a lot, sometimes he had a bad mood and got very angry. What if he had really eaten many children in his life? And he was so afraid he almost started crying.

When Grandpa Filomeno saw his reaction, he began to laugh out loud: Pero - But Martin, little one, how am I going to eat a child in one bite? I have this belly to eat lots of sweets, not to eat students. Era It was a joke! Go with the grandfather Filomeno. It was clear that storytelling came from family.

One day, Martin realized that suddenly, Mamma had gotten a belly as big as Grandpa Filomeno

. Would Mama have eaten too many sweets?

But what happened to Mama is that inside her belly she had a child, that everyone said that she would be called Germán and that she would be her brother. I had not eaten it! But there it was ...- But if Mama has not eaten Germán, how has the poor man come to his belly? - Martin asked one day to Papa. Puso Dad put a face of circumstances and after a while thinking, he exclaimed: Ver - You see, it turns out that a witch who lived in the forest met Mama and very angry made a strange curse and poor Germán ended up in the belly of Mama.

Martin looked at Dad with a face of disbelief. That was a Chinese story, what did Mama have to do with the witches of the forest? With how little Mom liked the field!

So very angry he went to look for Mom. But what Mama told him about a stork that flew across the sky bringing children and putting them in their bellies seemed even more absurd to her than the story of the witch. In the bell towers of his city there were many storks and he had never seen any with a baby in his beak. What a Chinese story!

So, very confused, little Martin went to grandfather Filomeno.

- But do not tell me Chinese stories, grandfather, that Dad and Mom have already told me a few. I want the truth!

And Martin said so seriously that Grandpa Filomeno had no choice but to remember his time as a teacher and explain to his grandson some things about the human body.

- You're telling me that Mom and Dad created a little Germain inside Mom's body, and that now it has grown and that's why Mom has that potbellied, and that same thing happened to me, and that something as big as a baby leaves the body of Mom. - And surely, surely this is not a Chinese story? - Sure, sure.

- But grandfather, if this is so ... Then Mom is magical! It's a fairy! It has super powers! So Germán will also have superpowers and I myself have superpowers, but I should not have discovered it yet, because of course no one had told me he had them, why had no one ever told me that Mama is magic ?, but, but then, Germán and I must have superhuman strength or something, and then we can, we can ...

At that, Grandfather Filomeno put his hands to his head and exclaimed:

- Martín, please: do not tell me Chinese stories!
