The Strangest Thing By Oscar Casas

Last night, I saw the strangest thing. A bear was balancing a ball on his nose, but then a mouse came along and stole the ball away. I needed to do something, so I put on my superhero costume and ran after the mouse. I got very close and I jumped on it. Since the mouse was hurt, we took him to the hospital and the nurse was a monkey called Linda. When I arrived home, my mom grounded me from leaving the house after curfew hours. Suddenly I woke up. Luckily, it was only a dream, or so I thought . I went to my mom and she hugged me and said: “You are awake!” I told her about my dream and she told me it wasn't a dream. She explained that I had fainted after she told me I was grounded, she also told me what had happened while I was gone: the world was now conquered by snails! I fainted again but this time, it was only for 2 hours so when I awoke, my mom told me that it was a joke and that it wasn’t snails that conquered the world, but it was the Reindeer. She said that the headf of the reindeers was Rudolf and if I spoke to him, everything would return to normal. So, I called some friends to bring their helicopter to get to the North pole and find Rudolf. I was in the Rein-house (white house for reindeer) when I saw him.

Rudolf asked, “Is this the way it has to be?” I

“Don't try to hide. We have to solve this now"

And so we spoke for hours, and finally agred on a peace plan. The following day everything returned to normal.
