Padres y madres de la AMPA decoraron terroríficamente el pasaje y un personaje misterioso nos contó un cuento en inglés.¡ Lo pasamos de miedo!
Al final podéis volver a leer el cuento y si os atrevéis, podéis mandar la traducción.
Jack O’Lantern
Jack, an Irish man, was drinking a lot in a tabern. The Devil had come to claim his soul. So, he quickly devised a plan. When it came to paying the bartender, Jack told the Devil, “You can take any form you wish; just change yourself into a silver coin, let me use you to pay for the drinks, and then you can change yourself back and take my soul.”
The Devil agreed and changed himself into a silver coin. Jack, however, quickly put the coin in his pocket where he also kept a little silver Cross. The Devil wasn’t able to change back to his original form, so Jack offered him a deal, “If you leave me alone for 10 years, I’ll set you free.” The Devil had no choice but to agree.
Ten years later, the Devil came back to claim Jack’s soul. “Okay, you can have my soul now,” Jack said, “Could you just climb that apple tree first and give me an apple?” The Devil thought he had nothing to lose and climbed the apple tree, but Jack quickly pulled out his knife and carved a Cross in the trunk of the tree. Thus the Devil wasn’t able to come back down again, and Jack offered him another deal, “If you promise never to come back to claim my soul, I’ll set you free.” Again, the Devil had no choice but to agree, and he never came back to claim Jack’s soul.
Many years later, Jack finally died. When he went to Heaven, he was denied entrance, because he had been so evil and stingy all his life. Then Jack went to Hell, but, as he had tricked the Devil, he wasn’t allowed to stay there either. Instead, the Devil sent Jack back to earth and gave him a burning coal as a light to guide him. Jack placed the piece of coal inside a turnip, and went back to earth, where, ever since, he has been wandering alone in the darkness.
Totalmente terrorííííífico...
ResponderEliminarSeguro que las niñas y niños pasaron un buen rato.
Desde que vi las fotos no para de darle vueltas a una pregunta..., ¿De qué me suenan a mí las manos del personaje misterioso que llegó a contar el cuento? ¿Tenéis alguna idea de quién era?
Y otra pregunta....
¿Este año no se ha pasado por el colegio "Piruja"?
