Building Bridges/Cuentos Y Puentes

Building Bridges/Cuentos Y Puentes is our brand new, first-ever bilingual book! With stories in both English and Spanish, this book is the product of a collaboration between nine students in Toronto and nine students from Colombia. Facilitated by a partnership between Story Planet and the Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia, this project reminded us that stories truly do bring us together. Along with each story in two languages, this book includes 'postcards' in which the students filled out to send to their Cuentamigo (story pal) to get to know each other more!

was totally out of control and burnt<br />

everything. The human part was always<br />

saying “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry!”<br />

Scaredevil would burn the whole<br />

forest down, which would cause lots of<br />

suffering for the animals, Craim, and<br />

even the humans.<br />

Scaredevil came crashing through the<br />

forest, flames leaping from his mouth,<br />

threatening the trees and wooden<br />

cabins. Kateson used her waterbending<br />

to put out all of the fires that Scaredevil<br />

was starting.<br />

Riley, Craim, and Kateson spent the next<br />

two years trying to locate No Face’s<br />

Lair. Scaredevil had given them a fake<br />

location and vanished. When they arrived<br />

at the place Sacredevil had said, the<br />

house was for sale. A furry rabbit named<br />

Micky was living there at the time. Micky<br />

had dealt with No-Face and Scaredevil<br />

before. He warned them not to fall for<br />

their tricks. They tried to find Scaredevil<br />

back at his cave, but he was gone too.<br />

He’d left a note that said: You shouldn’t<br />

have fallen for my trick. You’ll never find<br />

me now.<br />

Now that Scaredevil and No Face were<br />

gone, they had nothing to worry about.<br />

They went back to their normal lives.<br />

Riley and Kateson went back to teaching<br />

mermaid school, Craim spent lots of time<br />

with his friends, the animals in the forest.<br />

Austin became a student at Kateson’s<br />

school and they became close friends.<br />

When Selena heard the whole tale, she<br />

said, “That´s bacano!” Selena became<br />

close friends with Riley and Austin as<br />

well. They all had a party at Kateson’s<br />

house and played DC Universe. Kateson<br />

offered shrimp, burgers, rice, chicken<br />

wings, poutine (french fries with cheese<br />

and gravy). Kateson, Craim, Riley,<br />

Traigon, Micky, Austin, Selena, and<br />

Selena’s little brother were all at the<br />

party. After the party, they all went home<br />

and had a good night’s sleep. When they<br />

woke up they were well rested. They<br />

were happy that Scaredevil was gone<br />

and that they saved Austin.<br />

“Stop getting water on me,” the human<br />

part of Scaredevil said. “You should be<br />

hitting the dragon part. Also, I’m really<br />

sorry!”<br />

After a while Scaredevil got out of<br />

breath and couldn’t make fire. He flew<br />

away, and the forest was safe (for now).<br />

Craim showed up on his dragon, and<br />

Kateson, Riley, and Craim flew together<br />

on Traigon, after Scaredevil. They<br />

tracked him to the secret cave where he<br />

lived. Scaredevil was looking through<br />

files on Selena, Kateson, Riley, and<br />

Craim/Jackson with pictures and lots of<br />

information. Craim sicked his dragon on<br />

Scaredevil and he told them the truth:<br />

“Fine, fine, I’ll tell you everything. My<br />

boss wanted me to hunt you down.”<br />

“Tell us who your boss is, or I’ll get my<br />

dragon to throw up on you,” Craim said.<br />

“Okay,” Scaredevil said. “My boss is…<br />

No Face.”<br />

When Craim saw the note, he became<br />

furious—he hated it when people tricked<br />

and betrayed him. Craim had put a<br />

tracker on Scaredevil and tracked him<br />

to Craim’s beloved forest, where he was<br />

with No Face. They were at a pink leaf<br />

tree that made everyone in the forest<br />

happy. Scaredevil started laughing at<br />

Craim, Riley, and Kateson. Craim said,<br />

“Ya para de reír!”<br />

No Face ordered Scaredevil to rip the<br />

tree out of the ground. He ripped it out,<br />

and a sadness fell over the forest.<br />

Craim’s dragon immediately ate No Face,<br />

and the dragon part of Scaredevil. Then,<br />

the human part thanked them. They were<br />

a gentle soul named Austin who had the<br />

power to bring things to life. Free of No<br />

Face and their dragon-half, Austin was<br />

able to bring the pink leaf tree back to<br />

life. It was a beautiful spectacle—the<br />

pink-leaf tree looked glorious.<br />

Hi Fabian,<br />

I’m Ruwayda and I really like<br />

mermaid TV shows, there’s one<br />

called Mako Mermaids that I really<br />

like. H20 is another good one. I<br />

took a buzzfeed quiz and it said<br />

I am like Ursula from the Little<br />

Mermaid.<br />

Love,<br />

Ruwayda<br />
