Peter anD Lucia

Peter and Lucia

The night stretched its blanket shadow across the moon struggling to replace airy darkness by lightning. More and more weak and cold, everything was becoming a cobalt blue color.

The frost was heard creaking under the weight of at least one gnome red beard as white as his bonnet, walking forward to reach the end, to his seat warm. Although gnomes do not feel cold, nor fear, nor sick, nor cough, nor when they step on the frozen ground get cold feet.

They are goblins and are allowed to roam the world, bringing joy, stories, and fantasies to all the boys. This is called Peter, like the stones, I stood. In the long river stones and to dodge or jump on them ... Peter was so much fun! The other elves friends said, that was a stone, too.

 Was not scare, but tired he was. He had traveled the forest in search on taste red fruits that wanted to search with his friend and the bag thrown into the shoulder was heavy. Suddenly the night won to the moon and with a miss charm unleashed a storm, rare for this time of the year.

The reeds that grew along the river, swaying until to touch the water, lint-covered-ice, the wind was blowing as an old very wide-brimmed hat that went into peters eyes. He quickened his pace and managed to cross the mighty river that snored beneath the frost, started up the hill with fatigue. 

Listened to the distant, the howling of wolves, along with the roar of the storm. Anyhow he just kept going, do not know the danger neither ignoring them, but our little hero was brave. When passing through some bushes he saw a firefly struggling to survive to the storm.

Put the bag down and invited her up to the bag. "If you want you can go up and come into my bag, I’ll take you to a safe place"… she turned her small little light and felt that if she did not accept Peter’s kindness probably will die there, so she jumped up into Peter’s bag and he returned to the road.

As she lighted up, he sang a song, for Lucia because she was on shock. This happened one night, long ago, now. That is how a beautiful friendship born between Peter, the generous and hard working elf, and Lucia, the grateful firefly, who borrow and change her light for a coat that night.
