The Nightingale and the Rose

"The Nightingale and the Rose" is a beautiful, romantic but tragic story! However, I liked very much! :)
This is a summary of the story... I hope you like it!

One day, a boy arrived to a holm-oak tree very sad and crying because the girl who he liked only will dance with him, that night, if he gives her a red rose.
But the problem was that in his garden there isn’t a red rose.
The nightingale that was in the holm-oak tree was very sad, and she was sorry for the boy, so she decided to go looking for a red rose to the boy.
The nightingale looked for the red rose everywhere. She asked to many trees but anyone had a red rose.
After some time, the nightingale found a tree that had red roses, but to get one the nightingale was to sing all night.
However, if the nightingale sang all night, she would die.
The nightingale said that Death was a good price to pay a red rose. She said that Love is more important than Life, too.
So, the nightingale sang all night, she suffered very much, but in the end she could get a red rose for the boy.
In the following morning, when the boy woke up, he saw a beautiful red rose in his garden.
Then he ran to the house of his love (Professor’s daughter). But the girl didn’t want the rose, she said that jewels were better than flowers.
The boy was very sad and angry with the girl and returned his home. And he also said that Logic was better than Love because he thought that Love is a silly thing.

*Smoke and Fire*

This is a summary of a book that I read.... "Smoke and Fire". It was very interesting and funny! I hope you like it! :)

Mandy is a girl who works at “Chicken King” to raise her own money, and she goes to school, too.
Her brother, Jason, smokes cigarettes, and he isn’t a good student.
One night, Mandy arrives home very tired.
And as she needed to study Maths for a test, Jason went to “Chicken King” working in Mandy’s place.
He liked to work there and he met two guys, Marvin and Gaz who invited him to go to the park that night.
However, when they arrived, the two guys invited Jason to smoke cigarettes and then to smoke marijuana, a drug.
But, Jason didn’t want to and decided to go home.
He knew that his father would be angry with him, but what he didn’t know was that his father and Mandy were looking for him, that time.
They were very worried, but they could finally find him.

His father shouted at him, but his sister believed him.
And, finally, Jason decided to stop smoking. And Mandy never went back to “Chicken King”.
