I have just known a very nice project in order to fight children poverty.
Several famous spanish people (actors, actresses, singers, sportmen and others) have made a video, telling several famous stories.Between them, I want to show you the video made by Belen Rueda (a young but very famous actress in Spain).Please click down here and at the end of the video, read what she told, but translated by me:
This is the story of a boy who could not sleep.It was a long, long time ago. Nobody knows exactly when or where, but the truth is that the child did not know the sleep. So that school will put more duties than others ...., many more, to arrive home exhausted, but no .... There was no way. Then, magicians, sorcerers, with their concoctions, with their potions, also tried, but none succeeded in the child could sleep .... none.
And then, the boy's grandfather, who was the elder, recalled that there was a young girl, who had been so long asleep by the enchantment of a witch. She thought she was the only person who could help the child ..... the only one .... because nobody like her knew what was sleeping and sleeping.So that the family addressed the Princess Castle, but ... the doors were locked ....; clear ... so long sleep was normal for the Princess not to stop travelling. So that they decided to write the address of the child, on the wall of the princess to go to see him on her return. It was the first time you wrote a message on a wall ... -- even centuries later became standard practice--.
After that, they spent many evenings ..., many sleepless nights, until one afternoon appeared the Princess. Then the family rushed to tell her what was happening with the child. She said: "You can leave me some time alone with the small? ". And she did. After only half an hour, the princess went quietly and for silence, because the child finally had fallen asleep, for the first time. Amazed, the family asked: "But how did you get it? ...., What trick, what secret or what enchantment spell or what ...?". "A spell ....?. No, there was no need for any of that .... it is something much simpler: I sat next to him and I told him, softly, like a witch left me asleep and woke me a Prince”.
The locals asked the Princess to write that story, in order to tell their children when they could not sleep. She called this tale "Sleeping Beauty" and, thereafter, were written countless stories in many languages and in all parts of the world. And for what? .... So that no child ever ... none ... was left with sleep.
Enter and assists in the fight against child poverty.
Kind regards,
Luis.
