La nostra classe ha scritto due storie (questa e "The little mouse and the magic Christmas") insieme ad una classe della scuola di Darmanesti in Romania. Questo è potuto avvenire grazie al portale eTwinning
http://www.etwinning.net/
che permette alle scuole europee di entrare in conttatto fra di loro.
Noi abbiamo scritto la parte preceduta di I, mentre i rumeni hanno scritto le frasi precedute da R.
R - Into a car graveyard was brought a car with a special wheel. She was a wheel with life, and she loved very much to travel, to admire the beauty of the nature. Her last travel was in Darmanesti, where she had seen beautiful landscapes. But now, seeing herself at the car graveyard....
I - She was very sad, but at a certain point a girl came running and hid herself into the car. (Somebody was pursuing her). Kelly, this was the car's name, ...
R - ... received the girl and protected her. Than there was a noise ... The person that was pursuing her, found the girl. The living wheel understood that the situation was serious and ....
I - with a last effort decided she could try to move for a last time, and she did, but she was stuck in the mud and, spinning, threw mud into the pursuer's face. Then the wheel hit the rock under the mud and began to move. The girl was sitting in the car but she saw that the car was self controlled: it was going and the steering wheel was turning on its own.
After a while the car had only fuel reserve and so she stopped at a fuel station. While the girl was paying the pump attendant, this, who was also a mechanic, told her: "nice car, but it's quite in a sorry state, I could fix it" The girl said that yes she would like very much to have the car fixed and she would be back on the next day to get the car.
After fixing the car, the mechanic washed it and saw that it had on the bonnet the number 23. So he realized that it was a racing car.
R - Next day, in The Paper, appeared a news about a car race. The mechanic thought at the car. It was suitable for that race. So, he announced it to the girl. She had a brother named Tim, who liked car-races. The girl told him about the car's special abilities. Tim said....
I - that yes, he would have liked very much to participate to a car race with Kelly and started training sessions with Kelly. Unfortunately the day before the car race Tim slid on the stairs, fell and broke his leg. He was very sad for himself and for the car, because he knew that such a little car had indeed great abilities. His sister decided to participate to the race instead of her brother. She wasn't a very good driver, but she trusted the car. The day of the race, Kelly was on the starting line and Tim's sister was driving her.
Everybody was puzzled because they knew that Emma (Tim's sister) was not a very good driver.
When the signal came, all the cars started the race.
R - At first, Emma was very scared because she didn't know what was going on with her and Kelly. at the first obstacle she thought that everything was going to end and that they were hopeless but Kelly managed to get over it.
I - Kelly an Emma became more and more confident and they started to overtake, one by one, every car in front of them. At the first pit stop the mechanics were congratulating them.
The race was almost at the end: the last ten laps and one more pit stop. Kelly was second and tried to overtake the car in front of her but this one moved abruptly trying to stop Kelly and colliding with her. Kelly ended with a broken tire and had to stop again at the pit lane.
R - Emma was very glad and was confident that they were going to win the race. And so it was. they managed to get over all the obstacles and finished the race well.
I - All the other cars had to stop for a last time and on the last lap, Kelly was again second and tried once more to overtake the first car. This one tried again to push Kelly to the side, but Kelly braked hard and the other car ended out of the race track and crashed itself against the side protections.
So Emma and Kelly were first and won the race.
R - In the end everybody was congratulating them. Kelly kept turning on and off the headlights, because she was so happy.
I - So they became race champions and won together many more car races.
