STRUCTURE 1 (CAUSAL STRUCTURE): SIMON, THE LONELY BIRD
B Y L A U R A M O N T E L L S A N D M E R C È C A M P S
Once upon a time, there was a bird named Simon, who lived in a big big jungle. He was a small bird with
long and blue wings. He usually liked to fly alone around the jungles, showing the other animals his beautiful
colours, but anybody wanted to see him because he was a bad and lonely bird. He didn't like to help other
animals; he just wants to live alone without friends.
One day, as a routine, he is flying around the jungle, singing loudly to attract the attention of all the animals.
Suddenly, he saw a piece of bread on a stone that seemed really delicious for him. So, Simon thought that
could be great to taste it!
While he was eating it, Simon heard a loud noise above him. A big cage was falling and catching him inside!
- Nooo, help help! I can’t fly! Please, can anyone listen to me!?
Simon saw a long snake passing by the cage.
- Hi beautiful snake. Can you help me, please?
- I can’t Simon, I don’t have hands to lift the cage, I’m sorry.
Simon saw the snake going away through the plants and then he started crying.
A few minutes later a small butterfly heards his screams and flew near the cage to see what's happening.
- Hi beautiful butterfly. Can you help me, please?
- I can’t Simon, I have hands, but I’m too small and I don’t have forces to lift the cage, I’m sorry.
The bird saw the butterfly flying away through the sky.
- Nobody will help me, and I can’t escape from this cage. I don’t have friends and I’m lonely.
The bird waited for hours and hours and nobody was passing near the cage. He was really sad. Suddenly,
Simon saw a monkey jumping in the trees.
- Hi beautiful monkey. Can you help me, please?
The monkey tries to help Simon, because he had hands and forces to do it, but the cage isn’t moving, so he
decided to go for help. Five minutes later he arrived with all the animals of the jungle (lions, birds, monkeys,
elephants, giraffes...).
All the animals started lifting the cage and finally helped Simon to escape. Then, they started dancing and
singing in a big party including the bird Simon that he was really happy. From the day on, Simon will never be
alone again.
Thanks to this help, Simon saw that sometimes it is better to let yourself help, and help others, before going
through life alone.

STRUCTURE 2 (DESCRIPTIVE STRUCTURE): THE CHAIN OF FAVOURS
Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Lua. She was so helpful with other people because she wants
the best for everybody.
One day she was skating with her new skateboard on the street and suddenly she saw an old woman trying
to cross the road.
- Can you help me please to cross the road? People can’t see me, and I’m so scared to do it alone! - Said
the old woman.
- Of course! I’m going to help you to cross the road! Don’t worry! - Responded Lua.
- Thank you, so much little girl, you were so helpful to me, have a nice day!
- Have a nice day too! - Said Lua so happy.
And they hugged each other in a loving way!
The old woman saw a man who had fallen his keys on the floor.
- Excuse me! Excuse me! Man, you had lost your keys! They are on the floor! Excuse me! - Scream the old
women.
- Oh my god! Thank you so much! - Responded t’he man.
- You are welcome, have a nice day!
- You too! - Said the man - And they hugged each other in a loving way.
The man saw a young boy worried for his ball that was rolling toward the road.
- Excuse me! Can you help me! My ball is on the road and I'm worried! - said the young boy.
- Of course! I will take it and bring it to you.
- Oh, thank you so much!- Don’t thank me young boy! - said the man.
Suddenly the young boy saw a girl crying on the floor because she had fallen from the skateboard.
- Oh, are you okay? Do you need help? -asked the boy.
- Yes, can you please help me get off the ground?
- Yes of course!
- Thank you so much!
- I will give you a lollipop to make you better! - said the young boy.
- It’s all a detail! Thank you!
Lua walked away with her skateboard on her arms and the lollipop in her mouth, thinking about everything
that happened and repeating the same sentence: “If you help others, the world will end up rewarding you”.

STRUCTURE 3 (THE SERPENT STRUCTURE): MOON AND SARAH
Once there was a girl called Moon. She was really smart, honest, and kind person. Whatever she wanted to
do, she did it without help from anyone. She was living in an orphanage. Their parents didn’t want her, that’s
what the director of the orphanage explained to Moon. For this reason, she had to grow up with other
abandoned girls. When she was 13 years old, she started to be interested in nursing, doctors, etc., until she
was 26 years old when she started to work as a doctor in a hospital. She had to study hard for being what
she was.
One day, Moon was working at the hospital as usual, when suddenly a girl came to the emergency room
because she was ill. The doctor Moon quickly attended to where the girl was to examine the patient’s
condition, but she didn’t expect what she would be going to see. They saw each other with surprise faces
and a few seconds later, the patient fell into a coma.
Moon can’t believe what her eyes saw at that moment. She had been searching for her other half for years
until she was born and now, she found her. The same nose, same tiny lips, her green eyes, and her long and
black hair. Moon was really sure that the girl who came to the hospital was her twin sister, Sarah.
The nurse gave Moon a document with the diagnostic about Sarah. She had a really bad heart illness. She
may die at any time if nobody did a heart transplant. The doctors had to wait until a new heart that may be
compatible with the same family blood.
After 10 minutes, Moon decided to go and saw how the patient was. She was in a coma and she was quiet,
but the doctor Moon couldn’t wait to tell her the story of their lives.
“My name is Moon, and I was born at the same time as you did because we are twins. Our parents, as you
probably know, are the richest family in the city. They didn’t expect that we are twins and they only wanted
one of us, so they chose you as their daughter. They abandoned me in front of an orphanage when I only had
3 months of life. I lived a difficult childhood, but when I was 18, I decided to study for being a doctor and
have a better life. I have been searching for you all my life. I only wanted to hug my sister, my other half, my
sunshine, but I couldn’t. And then finally, here you are, in front of me, without saying anything because you
are in a coma. I’m really sorry.”
Moon wiped away her tears and kissed her on the hand.
After 16 hours of heart transplant operation, Sarah finally woke up in the same hospital room. She felt good
but at the same time, she had a strange feeling. She saw a letter on the room table, and she decided to
open and read it.
“Hi, beautiful sunshine, I hope you feel good with your new heart. I’m really sorry because I can’t be with you
now, I have a responsibility to solve it. I’m really happy because finally, I found you. I wish you will have a
happy life and please remember me forever.
See you,
Moon”
THE END!
AGE OF PUPILS
6th grade of primary. First of all because the structure of the story is not repetitive and simple. Moreover, the
vocabulary is a little bit difficult, and there are scientific words (nursing, etc.). The sentences that appears in
the story are appropriate for children of 6th grade of primary because the plot match with the curiosity and
interests of the elder ones. There is suspense and mystery at the beginning until the end of the story.

STRUCTURE 4 (CHANGE IN THE MAIN CHARACTER): COLORFUL VIEW
Once upon a time, there was a boy named Alan who lived in a small town. He used to play alone in the playground,
sitting in a corner and crying because he didn’t have any friends. He saw that all the boys and girls had the most
colourful bags to go to school, but his bag was boring and black as all of him. His t-shirt was black, and his pants were
black too. That’s why nobody wanted to talk with him.
One day, he arrived at home after the school classes and he went to the bedroom and started his new book that his
grandmother bought as a birthday present. He used to read a lot to keep his mind distracted, but he didn’t know that
the new book had a surprise for him. When he opened the book, he saw a cloud of smoke come out between the pages.
He was scared a lot and ran under the bed with his teddy bear around his arms.
- Hi Alan! Don’t be afraid, I’m here to help you. Please come here! – said a voice.
Alan came out slowly from the bed and sat in his chair. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. A colourful smoke with
a nice face was talking with him. It seemed like a girl because she had a soft voice. Also, this smoke was like the genius
of Aladdin’s lamp.
- Hi Alan, my name is Ada and I’m a genius from your book. I’m here because I want to help you. I’ve been seeing that
you’re always very alone and sad, and I have the solution for that. Do you want to change? – said, Ada.
Alan said yes with his head and asked her about which was the solution for his problem.
- You used to see the world in black and white and I want to present more colours that make you happy – said Ada.
From here, Ada took him to the three most colourful places in the world to see Alan's reaction.
When they arrived in the first place Alan only saw a green tree, and suddenly, his left arm started to get coloured.
- Ada, look at me! I can see colours on my left arm! - Scream so happy Alan.
- That’s so great! - Responded to Ada.
The second place that Ada took him was more coloured than the last place that they visited. Ada showed a beautiful
and colourful landscape with birds flying away. This time Alan could see all of the fantastic colours from only half of the
landscape. He was really happy because suddenly his half of the body was coloured too.
- Ada, my body... I have half of my body coloured! - Said Alan to Ada.
- This starts to work! - Respond so happy Ada.
Finally, when they arrived at the last place, Alan was happier than other times because he could see all the landscape,
all the trees, all the fruits and animals that were colourful! It was great!
- Ada, Ada, Ada!!! - Scream so happy Alan - Look at me! I can see colours in my full body!
- I’m so proud of you Alan, really proud. You are ready! - Responded Ada.
The next day he woke up like every morning to go to school and when he opened his eyes all his books, pieces of cloths,
dolls... from the room were in colours, in their original colours! That had never happened before! He was so happy!
When he arrived at school he could play with his friends!
Alan had colours like all his partners and then everybody wanted to play with him. He was happier than ever!
“BE HAPPY, HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON YOU”

STRUCTURE 5 (REREADING STRUCTURE): MELODY FOR MELODIE
MELODY FOR MELODIE
Ten years ago, there was a boy named Jason who lived in a small town with his family and his
dog Jack. He had a younger sister named Chloe that liked dancing in her room after school
classes and painting flowers for her mother.
For his 8th birthday, Jason received a present from his grandmother who lived near the house.
Jason was really happy when he saw a beautiful music box with a dancer inside. She wore a pink
and elegant dress, her hair was tied with a pink bow and her eyes were blue like the ocean. He
was admired for its beauty and the beautiful song that Jason heard. He decided to named
Melodie for the delicate melody that Jason played every time.
Every day the boy got up to go to school with his mother. He always said goodbye to Melodie
that stayed in the music box with her beautiful smile. He was coming home very quickly to talk to
Melodie.
One day Jason arrived at home after the school classes and he saw that Melodie had a strange
and little wound in her right leg, but he didn’t care at all.
The following day, when Jason returned from school, he saw that his dancer Melodie had her hair
down. Here, Jason began to suspect but he picked up her hair and he left it in its usual place.
Another day passed, and he came back from school again and there he couldn’t believe it; the
dancer wasn’t in her place! He always left her on his study table, and this time she was on the
bed. He got very angry because he thought it was his sister who had taken his things, including
the dancer Melodie, so he went to look for her:
- Chloe, Chloe! - Jason shouted - Where are you?
- Why are you screaming at me? - Chloe said -.
- Did you take my things, including my dancer Melodie? - Jason to Chloe responded -.
- I didn’t take anything from your room. Can you please stop screaming to me? Thank you! -
Chloe responded angrily -.
Chloe closed the door and Jason went back to his room. He was angry because he knew his
sister was telling him a lie, but he didn’t take it into account and started doing his homework for
the next day.
Like every morning, Jason woke up, got dressed, washed his face, took his things and went to the
kitchen to have breakfast for school, but that day something different happened in his house;
MELODIE WAS A ROCK STAR!
And so it was, every morning that Jason went to school, Melodie went to her concert where all
the toys went to see her because she was doing great!

The next day, when Jason returned from school, he saw that his dancer Melodie had her hair

that something was going on, but he thought it was impossible, so he picked up her hair and he
left it in its usual place.
Another day passed, and he came back from school again and there he couldn’t believe it; the

Chloe closed the door and Jason went back to his room. He was angry because he knew his sister

STRUCTURE 6 (DRAMATIC IRONY STRUCTURE): WHAT IS EMILY SEARCHING?
What is Emily searching?

Emily was a little girl who lived with her mother. She was 11 years old and had a hidden
secret; every night she transformed herself into a superheroine with her secret suit and
went out into the street and collected all those objects that people lost during their
days. While they were sleeping she would leave them their lost things at home and she
went back to her home. But, she lived with a doubt that her mother always avoided;
Where was her father, what had happened to him?
One night, when her mother had already passed by Emily's room to see if she was
sleeping, Emily opened her eyes, put on her the secret suit and flew out the window.
That day she found a ball that belonged to a little girl of 5 years old. Emily went into her
room and left it there, next to the bed. When Emily finished her work for that night, she
went home.
The next day something very strange happened. Emily found a picture where she
appeared! She didn't understand anything. Her mother was also there, a man next to
her and a boy exactly like Emily who stayed next to her. She went to the house where
the picture was from and what a surprise she found…!
She found a boy who was wearing a suit like her secret suit, so she decided to talk to
him. Did he have the same power as her? Why is physically just like her? Emily was really
curious, but she didn’t know what she was about to discover.
The boy named Tom and he was her twin brother. He lived with his father because he
was divorced from her wife when they were only 3 years old. Tom discovered her secret
when he was 6 years old and he started to help people at midnight. But a thing that he
didn’t know is that he had a twin sister.
After Tom’s speech, the two brothers hug each other and smile because they were
together again. They decided to keep the secret and work every night.
One night, Emily flew out the windows to go to Tom’s house and started collecting
objects. During the work, Emily found a necklace that seems familiar for her. She
opened and saw a picture of her and Tom and suddenly knew who the owner was. Emily
and Tom went to Emily’s house, they entered her mother's room and Tom put the
necklace in the neck of her mother, who was very asleep. After finishing this great work
Tom went to his house again to go to sleep.
The next morning Emily heard her mother screaming and shouting. She went to see what
was happening and she saw her mother smiling. She hugged her daughter and told her
that the lost necklace had appeared magically.Emily smiled and looked out the window,
happy to have found Tom again and to have made his mother happy!

STRUCTURE 8 (INTIMACY PROCESS STRUCTURE): BILLY AND MILO
BILLY AND MILO
Once upon a time, two lions named Billy and Milo were brothers and got along very well.
Billy was a responsible Lion, interested to learn new things, intelligent and careful, while
Milo was the opposite, irresponsible, careless and didn’t like to learn new things because
he was already happy with how much he knew, but apart from all this, they loved each
other, and couldn’t live without each other.
One day a group of hunters appeared and took one of them, Billy, to the zoo! From that
day on, Billy and Milo were no longer the same, it was as if they were missing something;
their half. Milo felt free, but Billy lacked freedom.
- I feel like I'm free. - said Milo.
- I miss my freedom - said Billy.
- I like jungle food! -said Milo.
- The food here at the zoo is very bad! -said Billy.
- I'm happy here because I feel at home. -said Milo.
- I miss my home... - said Billy.
- I live with my family. - said Milo.
- I live alone. - said Billy.
- I run into the jungle all day! - said Milo.
- I walk in a circle inside the cage! - said Billy.
- I see forest and other animals. - said Milo.
- I see people taking me photos all the time. - said Billy.
Billy was trying to escape from the zoo because he missed her brother a lot so he
decided to dig a tunnel from the cage to the forest. When the zoo was closed Billy
entered in a hole that he did and finally escaped from the zoo. Suddenly, his legs moved
and Billy started to run and run.
After 2 days of running and running he finally found her brother Milo in the middle of the
forest. They were very happy together again and since that day they didn’t separate!!!

.................
Once upon a time, there was a boy named Alan who lived in a small town. He used to play alone in the playground,
sitting in a corner and crying because he didn’t have any friends. He saw that all the boys and girls had the most
colourful bags to go to school, but his bag was boring and black as all of him. His t-shirt was black, and his pants were
black too. That’s why nobody wanted to talk with him. .................
.................
One day, he arrived at home after the school classes and he went to the bedroom and started his new book that his
grandmother bought as a birthday present. He used to read a lot to keep his mind distracted, but he didn’t know that
the new book had a surprise for him. When he opened the book, he saw a cloud of smoke come out between the pages.
He was scared a lot and ran under the bed with his teddy bear around his arms.
__________
Alan came out slowly from the bed and sat in his chair. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. A colourful smoke with
a nice face was talking with him. It seemed like a girl because she had a soft voice. Also, this smoke was like the genius .................

of Aladdin’s lamp.
- Hi Alan, my name is Ada and I’m a genius from your book. I’m here because I want to help you. I’ve been seeing that

you’re always very alone and sad, and I have the solution for that. Do you want to change? – said, Ada.
- You used to see the world in black and white and I want to present more colours that make you happy – said Ada.
When they arrived in the first place Alan only saw a green tree, and suddenly, his left arm started to get coloured.
__________
The second place that Ada took him was more coloured than the last place that they visited. Ada showed a beautiful
and colourful landscape with birds flying away. This time Alan could see all of the fantastic colours from only half of the
landscape. He was really happy because suddenly his half of the body was coloured too. .................
.................
.................
.................
.................
Finally, when they arrived at the last place, Alan was happier than other times because he could see all the landscape,
all the trees, all the fruits and animals that were colourful! It was great!
.................
The next day he woke up like every morning to go to school and when he opened his eyes all his books, pieces of cloths,
dolls... from the room were in colours, in their original colours! That had never happened before! He was so happy! __________
