Building Bridges/Cuentos Y Puentes

THANKS FOR
YOUR HELP

In Landkarry, a world under the Earth,
Karry, who rules that place, spends
most of their time fighting against the
pollution of the Earth. The pollution
affects humans, but also the Landkarry’s
civilization; it causes a heat in Landkarry
that is unbearable. So, Karry takes
advantage of the rainy days to relax and
cool off by taking mud baths with their
two best friends, Dary and Barry. Also
they get together to eat their favorite
food: carrot ice-cream. Regarding their
physical appearance, Karry is a rare
creature in the eyes of humans since all
their characteristics make Karry look
like a mixture of different animals: they
have their body covered by orange fur,
and they have rabbit ears, mouse teeth,
and a bear-like body, a beaver’s tail, and
tortoise feet. It is for this reason that
they do not want humans to see them.
Karry lives alone in their palace,
which is a really luxurious place. It is
the largest mansion in the Landkarry
world. Their house looks like more than
46 47
a house, it looks like a world full of
different technological devices. Karry
is a phenomenal creature - they always
seek the good of all, they are a very
good creature, and besides everything
they have a great sense of humor. Every
weekend, in order to distract their
community a bit, they hire buffoons
who give shows in the main theater
of Landkarry, the largest and most
fabulous theater in the world, because
the inhabitants of this place have
very advanced tools, they can create
wonderful and unique things.
However, despite all their wealth, Karry
always has a concern: to save the planet
from pollution. For this reason, when
they notice that people are polluting
indiscriminately, Karry becomes quite
enraged and with the help of their
powers they manage to damage the
crops of the inhabitants of the Earth, as
punishment for their bad acts.
