SHORT STORY FROM TURKEY

LITTLE ARTISTS OF THE DANCE SCHOOL

Long ago, a sister and a brother named Francisca and Felippe Fernanadez lived in Madrid , the capital city of Spain where lovely melodies could be heard. Francisca was 7 and Felippe was 9 years old and they were students at primary level. They were both keen on dance as most of the children who were brought up with charming melodies of flemenco and they dreamt to be famous dancers in the future.

One day when they were dreaming about their dance career,

Felippe said: “ we are always dreaming. We need to do something”

“Yes, you are right” agreed Francisca and added “ we need professional help and that’s why we must attend a dance school”

Felippe “let’s talk to our father and mention about our plans to him”

They were eager to attend a dance school in order to make their dream come true so they talked to their father, Marcus and persuaded himof going to the dance school The next day, they arrived the place. Its name was Dance Floor.
Whilst entering the threshold of the school, their hearts were pounding.

Mrs. Carmen, the director of the school said “ you need to buy a pair of castanets and special flamenco shoes.

Francisca, Felippe and Marcus started to look for a shop that sold castanets and shoes after they went out of the school. They finally found a shop what they were looking for but the shoes were pretty expensive. So, Felippe who was a real fun of Real Madrid offered his father to add the money that he saved to go Bernabeu stadium.

At last “ we could buy them” said Felippe

“Look at that” said Francisco “what a beautiful thing it is”
It was a very beautiful flemenco dress which was crimson and glittering. And there were black rose motifs on it.

“I am sure you look gorgeous in it” said Marcus while going in the shop.

Francisca was over the moon since she had the dress.
When they went back to their home, the children told all their adventure to their mother while enjoying the delicious omelette and oil’s bread.
The Fernandez worked hard after that and became very good and famous dancers. They became the representatives of their culture all around the world.
