TALE 01:
INTERNET
x
REAL LIFE

Hi Laura! How are you?
In her room, full of books,
stickers and some colorful pillows,
Laura, a 13 year old teenager, was
staring at her cell phone. And to your
surprise, a message appears from a boy
named Gabriel.
Gabriel is from Laura's
classroom at school. They've even done
some work together. He seemed to be
very attentive, in fact, he found Laura
amusing and somewhat different ...
Hi Laura! How are you? I have
been following you on social
media, I see that you have
posted some reflective and
sad phrases.
07

Laura - very surprised - replied:
Hi Gabriel! I posted
these days ... I was kind
of discouraged, you
know? Things in life...
Oh, I really understand... I
have a lot of followers, but
they don't interact with me
very much. I liked your
publications because I found
you very interactive, and
that's really cool.
08
Thanks,
Gabriel!

Laura, remember that we have
a Portuguese job to do?
Of course I remember! Do
you want to do it with
me?
Certainly! Are we going
schedule a video call for this?
I loved the idea! Saturday at 4pm?
Perfect!
09

Laura was thoughtful with that
message, after all, she didn't feel like an
attractive girl, she didn't have many
friends, besides being very shy, and
shameful.
She loved looking at people's photos
on Instagram, and whenever she did,
she felt bad again. It seemed that only
the others had "the perfect life".
10

After a few days, Saturday came. It was 3:47 pm
when Laura looked on her cell phone waiting for
Gabriel's message. She even went to look at his social
networks, because she wanted to know a little more about
the boy. She saw that he had more than 10,000
followers, thousands of travel photos, with so many people
around him, always smiling and in different places. And
she "wished" to have that life, which for her, was perfect.
A few minutes passed, and Gabriel's video call came
up! Laura soon accepts.
11

Hi, Laura! All right?
Hi, Gabriel! I’m good and you?
I’m nice!
12

Laura noticed that Gabriel was a little crestfallen,
ashamed ... and soon starts to cry. Unable to talk about
sobbing, he takes a deep breath, in a short time he starts to
vent.
Laura, I'm sorry! Many things are happening in my life ... my
father is very sick, my sister is going to be a mother at the
age of 15 and my family is very upset, and I am going to
have to leave our school, a place that I like so much for
financial reasons . It's like I'm losing ground, you know?
13

14
Gabriel, I'm sorry for everything that's happening! I already felt
the same as you. I confess that I had another vision of your
life, really. It seemed like everything was perfect, and I
wouldn't have imagined that you were going through all of this
in a dream. I'm here to hear you, to make you feel good, and to
understand that this is not the end. If that consoles you, I
want to vent with you too ... I felt sad these days, because I
don't have almost friends, people don't invite me to parties
and outings. When looking at social media, everyone was
happy, traveling and smiling. That's why I was so sad. But
talking to my parents, they made me understand that there
will always be calm days amid chaos. That the simplicity of
our real life is beautiful too. That love makes everything more
beautiful. And it made me a lot better ...

Laura, thanks for sharing this
with me. I open social media all
the time... It's like an escape for
me, you know? I see so many
happy people all the time, that it's
like only my life is a lie ...
Now I understand that the life
behind social media is
different. No glamor or
happiness all the time. Life is
real. It happens all the time.
With problems and solutions,
and the only thing we must do,
is to conform and accept that
nothing is perfect. What really
matters is being a good
person.
15

Laura, you have no idea how
much I needed to hear this
from someone, in fact, most
people need it too! Life
happens here and now...
Perfection only exists on
social networks.
16

The focus of this story is to show that people have very different lives, Laura did not know about the
wealth she had in her life, because her parents were around, always advising her. In turn, Gabriel, with his
outburst, can see how alone he was, even with so many virtual friends.
Often, looking at social networks makes us think that the lives of others are incredible, without “problems”, where
everything flows in the best way. But bringing this to reality ... It's very different!
This tale is to encourage you to live the world inside you, demonstrating an extraordinary life with gestures, with
sincere moments and with a life that is waking you up every day. And don't forget to be a good person.

TALE 02:
THE IMPORTANCE OF
DIALOGUE IN
FINANCIAL EDUCATION

Yasmin, a 15 year old girl, lived with her
mother, as her parents had divorced when she
was very young.
Her father paid the pension monthly, was
very cautious with the laws, and was concerned
with helping Yasmin's education. Her mother
always gave a small amount, which was the
allowance, for her to meet the daily needs.
19

Yasmin was very fond of surfing the
internet, especially on the websites of designer
stores. Although she lacked nothing, she felt
bad, because she always wanted more,
dreamed of having all the fashionable clothes.
20
One day, Yasmin was browsing social
media, when an advertisement appeared with a
dress that she found very beautiful on sale,
seeing the value, realized that it would take
months to get paid. She knew that at some point,
she would need the money, as it was for her daily
expenses, and if she spent all the money, she
would not be able to go to the cinema, or to a
different restaurant with friends ... things she
loved do.

The next day, the girl told her mother about the dress
she had seen on the internet, and the mother said she had no
need to buy it, that she had many beautiful dresses, some that
were not even worn.
Yasmin did not like the answer that her mother gave, she
was not satisfied. She didn't care about the advice, she dreamed
of the dress, every day she entered the designer websites and
fueled her desire to buy. Regardless of what might happen, she
took the attitude of buying a necklace, then a bracelet to match
the earring, the next day a cool blouse ... and she couldn't help
herself, every day it was something different that she bought.
Yasmin was happy when her purchases arrived! However,
she no longer even had money to pay for the bus to go to school.
The young woman realized that she had no more money,
so she decided to ask her mother, and her mother - as expected -
it was strange for her daughter to ask for money, because the
amount she gave in the month was enough to cover the costs.
your daily expenses.
21

But what Yasmin's mother did not know was her
daughter's excessive spending. She arrived late due to the
service, did not witness the purchases arriving at her home.
Then she asked Yasmin what was going on with her allowance.
And she replied:
- Mom ... I had to buy a few things ...
His mother was very angry, and realized that Yasmin
was not having control, he spent more than he could,
forgetting his priorities. The mother realized that she needed
to talk and advise her daughter, she taught Yasmin to be
financially responsible, that's how Yasmin realized that from
that day on, she would have to be organized and manage
her money well.
22
Although he had talked to Yasmin, his mother
decided to give a small punishment, and Yasmin was without
internet for a month, and of course she did not like his
punishment, but realized that she had spent too much, that
she did not need to buy so many things .

After all this, Yasmin understood how difficult it is to get money, and started to spend only with what was necessary,
avoiding looking at e-commerce sites, and even started saving money, so as not to have to go through bad situations
(financially speaking) in the future.
This reading shows us how cautious we should be when it comes to money. We must save, and use it only for what we
need. Unrestrained consumption only leads to one thing: wanting to spend more and more, and being less and less satisfied.

TALE 03:
Life is
a Detail.

Neguinha is a SRD (mixed breed) or mongrel
dog, with long, goose-down, brown hair and an
extremely affectionate look. Neguinha doesn't
have a house or a human. Neguinha never knew
what it is like to have a bed of her own or a
house to call home.
But fortunately, Neguinha knew love. The
love of an entire community. Neguinha is a
community dog that was born on the streets and
today lives in a recycling cooperative.
25

Amanda, a 15 year old girl, in love with animals, has
always spread the respect and importance of their lives in
human existence. He inherited his affection and admiration
from his parents, active participants in the animal cause.
They are part of animal protection associations even
through Facebook, a means by which they can help them in
the daily struggle both in rescuing those who suffer abuse,
as well as in donations of rations, policies to raise
awareness of respect for animal life, as well as surgical
interventions. and medications when they are sick or
involved in accidents.
And, as in all the novels by Manoel Carlos, the nuclei
always find a way to bump into each other. In the case of
Amanda and Neguinha, the meeting was not the happiest.
26

On a rainy Thursday, in mid-September,
when Amanda comes home from school, she
comes across a little dog that had been run
over in the garage of a recycling cooperative on
the same sidewalk where she was hiding from
the raindrops.
Amanda discovered that the poor little
animal lived there, but what really happened?
"..." due to an oversight, one of the company
employees did not see that Neguinha was
under the car - because it is warm and dry.
They love! - and when the man got out with the
car, unfortunately he hurt the puppy. And that
was when Amanda and Neguinha met.
27

Neguinha cried a lot and, even with the
medications prescribed by the veterinarian, she
felt a strong discomfort in her back, causing her
mind-boggling pain. In addition to all the pain,
there was also a lot of difficulty in getting around
and breathing. Amanda, with the help of her
parents and other protectors and godfathers of
the animal cause, managed to ...".
28
Several tests were done, all with great
difficulty. Neguinha felt a lot of pain, even
sedated. The professionals who were taking care
of the puppy had already participated in other
rescues of injured animals and, when managing
their practices, calmed her down and placed her
on a stretcher in a very careful way so that she
would not suffer even more. It was necessary to
give a strong sedative for the dog to endure the
examination.

After a few hours the results came out and,
unfortunately, were not the best. They would bring an answer
that would change the course of everything: Neguinha had
suffered a very complicated fracture and needed emergency
surgery.
All protocols were followed and Amanda, along with
her parents, made an appeal on social networks, motivating
several sponsors to help. Prayers were aimed at Neguinha
and requests were made to São Francisco de Assis. Everyone
who patronized and or became sensitive to Neguinha's story
was distressed and was looking for information about her
condition. It was hours on the operating table and all the
time there, they asked San Francisco to help her and not let
her story come to an end there, in such a sad way.
29

Surgery performed! The fracture was reduced and Neguinha
now had five screws in the column. Reserved prognosis: recovery in
thirty days, but Neguinha probably would not walk again and would
use a wheelchair. But he did the impossible: get off the operating
table. And now the clash of forty-eight hours of gold, as veterinarians
call it, begins. These are the most precious hours after major surgery.
Neguinha came back from anesthesia with a smile on her face,
she even looked grateful. One more fight won! Amanda, at that
moment, wept with happiness and thanks, but asks for her prayers to
continue. Every minute and every positive energy is very important.
Neguinha slept warm and comfortable, in a bed prepared for her.
Wrapped in a clean blanket and away from the cold, rain and hunger.
But São Francisco had other plans for Neguinha, and here, after
receiving so much light, positivity and care, Neguinha went to rest.
He rested and left us to question the fragility of life. Neguinha is
another story of strength and resilience.
30

In memory of Neguinha. October 10, 2020.
“Why do dogs leave and leave us so early? They live less because they
are born knowing how to practice something important in life: love.
They love in a way that we take a lifetime to learn. They are physically
small, but huge in love, something that only they have in their souls by
nature. “

33

Hi! I'm Lorena and I'm 13 years old. One
day, I was in biology class, getting to know
the human body. When I got home, I told
my mother about the class and she said
she would talk to me about a serious
34
matter.

She came with me to the kitchen table and said:
- Daughter, taking advantage of this "hook", I would
like to talk about your body.
- My body? Mother, the teacher already talks about
it ...
- No, daughter! I will speak in another way and I
want you to listen to me very carefully. We all have
an intimate part that stays here - she said pointing
to a drawing she had seen in the notebook - do you
know why they are intimate?
- I don't know, Mom.
- Because it's yours, just for your use. No one, no
one at all, can see or touch.
- I understand, mother ... but what if a friend of
mine, or a stranger wants to see it?
35

- First, daughter, whoever wants to do
this is not a friend. It is not right. Second,
avoid it! Make excuses. Run! And always
tell me or your dad. Secrets are bad, we
won't fight or get mad at you. We will
always protect you. But NEVER hide from
us if that happens.
- Agreed, mother.
- And another thing, never take nude
pictures and send them to someone.
- But what do they do with the photos,
mom?
36

- They use it for their own benefit. They
are bad people and spread the pictures
for others to see too. Besides, daughter,
there are not only these ways for them to
do bad things.
- Not?
- Not! There is both physical and
psychological abuse. They can hurt us,
make us sad and emotionally shaken.
- Mom, and what needs to be done if
something like this happens?
- We call the police by the 911 and report
it.
37

Thoughtfully, the daughter asked:
- Who are these abusers, mom?
- Anyone, daughter. Even who you trust most ... can be a friend,
a close acquaintance or even someone from your own family.
Daughter, be careful with the things they offer you. If you are a
stranger, do not accept anything! And if you are an
acquaintance, think carefully before accepting. Not candies,
chocolates, or even rides ... all care is still little.
- Thank you for alerting me about this, mom! I love you!
- I love you so much, daughter! I always want your good. Always
remember to help other people by sharing such important
information.
- Leave it, mom! I will do this!
38

To end this chapter, here's a poem on the subject.
Violated Childhood
It was just a child
Who dreamed of being a hero
What I remember
I know how much it hurts
It was just a girl
Who dreamed of being a princess
But who had the sad fate
of being caught helpless
It was so ugly, so disgusting and so vile
Raise my pure and childish eyes
Aim in the face of my senile executioner
Outraged in his miserable devices
Disgusted by his imbecile countenance
Lacy like an unhappy bird
My purity was gone before ever so soon
Who came out in my defense?
Only guilt and fear remained
Shame and sadness
Today shape my plot
There was no one to tell
No one would listen to me
Who else can I count on if even
I doubt myself?
And if I wanted to avoid it,
wouldn't it have happened?
Was there guilt in me for such a dismal attitude?
If there is, say yes, pretend to deceive me
No flowers in my garden
Thorns made me rude
My thirst has no end
There was no water in my pond
Who knows even so In a flash of virtue
Before the end something happens
and everything changes?
And realize until finally
That I resisted as long as
I could
