**The Blue Eyes** Lena liked the café for its quiet predictability—familiar faces, muted conversations, and the hum of rain on the windows. It was her refuge, a place where no one expected anything of her. That’s when she noticed him. He sat by the window, ordinary in every way except for his eyes—blue, startlingly vivid, like they saw through her. When he glanced her way, Lena quickly looked down, her heart unexpectedly quickening. Moments later, she heard his voice. “Is this seat taken?” Startled, she stammered, “No, go ahead.” He sat across from her, casual but assured. “I’m Michael,” he said, his gaze steady. “Lena.” Their conversation began awkwardly but quickly fell into an easy rhythm. They talked about books, the rain, nothing extraordinary—yet everything about it felt significant. His presence was magnetic, his words strangely familiar, as though they were picking up a thread they’d left unfinished. --- Michael started appearing more often, each visit deepening their bond. He knew little details about her—how she always ordered her coffee black, how she twisted her ring when nervous. “You notice a lot,” Lena said one day, half-joking. He smiled, almost apologetic. “I don’t mean to. It’s just... you feel familiar. Like I’ve known you before.” Lena’s chest tightened. She felt it too—that inexplicable pull, as if their lives had crossed in ways neither could explain. But she didn’t ask what he meant. Some feelings were too fragile to question. --- Then one day, he disappeared. Lena waited, watching the door every afternoon, her heart sinking when he didn’t come. She texted him, but there was no reply. Days turned into weeks. She went to the café out of habit, but the empty chair across from her was impossible to ignore. He was gone. Sitting by the window one rainy evening, she let the memory settle in her chest like a bittersweet ache.

Era uma vez dois amigos, João e Pedro, ambos com 8 anos, que foram desafiados por um projeto da escola a vender 10 brinquedos usados em uma semana. Os brinquedos eram muito especiais, mas cada um tinha suas qualidades e algumas coisas que não eram tão boas. João sempre explicava para as crianças o que os brinquedos faziam de legal, mas também falava sobre as coisas que não eram tão legais, como quando o brinquedo fazia barulho demais ou não funcionava muito bem em alguns momentos. Ele queria que todos soubessem a verdade para que pudessem decidir o que era melhor para eles. No final da semana, João conseguiu vender 6 brinquedos. Pedro, por outro lado, só falava das partes legais dos brinquedos e escondia as partes que não eram tão boas. Ele dizia o que as crianças queriam ouvir, mesmo que não fosse completamente verdade. No final da semana, Pedro conseguiu vender 13 brinquedos. Muitas crianças compraram os brinquedos de Pedro porque ele contou coisas que pareciam muito boas, mas que não eram verdadeiras. Isso fez com que algumas crianças ficassem tristes quando descobriram que os brinquedos não eram tão legais quanto Pedro havia dito. A história nos ensina que, mesmo que seja tentador dizer só o que as pessoas querem ouvir, a verdade é muito importante. Quando dizemos a verdade, estamos sendo honestos, e isso nos ajuda a ficar mais perto de Deus.

Nagkakasundo sila sa kanilang mga pangarap at nagsikap upang maabot ang mga ito. Megan: "Gusto kong magtanghal sa isang malaking entablado, at makita ko ang mga mata ng mga tao na nagagalak at nagpapalakpakan!" Sarah: "Ako naman, gusto ko maging pintor na makikilala sa buong mundo, at ang mga obra ko makita sa mga museo." Sa kanilang pagsusumikap, natupad ang kanilang mga pangarap—naitanghal si Megan sa isang malaking entablado at ang mga obra ni Sarah ay nakilala sa mga internasyonal na museo. Megan: "Para akong lumulutang sa ulap! Nakapag-tanghal ako sa harap ng libu-libong tao!" Sarah: "At ang mga obra ko, nakasabit na sa isang museo! Hindi ko pa rin kayang paniwalaan!" Ngunit, habang patuloy na umuusad ang kanilang tagumpay, napansin ni Sarah ang pagbabago kay Megan. Tila nakakalimot na ito sa mga taong tumulong sa kanila, tulad ni Tita Beatrice. Sarah: "Naaalala mo pa si Tita Beatrice? Siya yung tumulong sa atin nung wala pa tayong pangalan." Megan: "Si Beatrice? Parang familiar... pero hindi ko maalala." Sa puntong iyon, napagtanto ni Megan na ang tagumpay ay hindi nasusukat sa kasikatan, kundi sa pagpapahalaga sa mga taong naging bahagi ng kanilang paglalakbay. Megan: "Pasensya na, Sarah. Minsan, nakakalimot tayo sa mga bagay na mahalaga. Salamat sa pagtulong na maalala ko kung sino talaga ako." Muling nagyakap sina Megan at Sarah, at natutunan nilang ang tunay na tagumpay ay nasa mga relasyon at pagmamahal na nabuo sa kanilang paglalakbay.

"He strangled, strangled my cat! You wretched dog, son of a dog!— The shopkeeper gets angry, Grabs whatever is close at hand, And strikes the dog right on the forehead, Tossing it next to the cat. — Oh no! My lion of a dog, My livelihood, my place, my home! May your house crumble, you shopkeeper! Heartless, rude, evil, this and that, How dare you hit my dog! Well, now you’ll see what it’s like to be hit... Our giant yells, Lifts his large staff, Swings it back and brings it down, Knocking the shopkeeper to the floor by the doorstep. — Murder! Help! From neighborhood to neighborhood, from house to house, One person calls to the next: — Help! He’s been murdered! From the upper neighborhood, from the lower neighborhood, From the road, from their work, Crying and wailing, Screaming and shouting— Men and women, Sisters and brothers, Wives and children, Friends and fellows, Mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, Godfathers and their sons, Uncles and grooms... Who knows who else, They come, and they keep coming. Whoever arrives, swings and strikes: — You brute! You savage! How could you do such a thing? Did you come here to trade, Or to murder someone at your doorstep? Some say he hit him ten times, Pounded him into the ground, Leaving him sprawled out next to his dog. — Well, come and take your dead man away! And from there, the news spreads, Reaching the nearby village: — Hey, help us! Aren’t you alive? They’ve murdered our villager!"
