The judge and the dinosaur by Elpida

Once upon a time there was a judge. One morning he woke up and went to his work. We didn’t know why; he was very angry. Anyway, he went to work in the court. Then he saw a huge dinosaur with two huge eyes and a huge mouth and a huge tail with thorns that whoever touched it opened them a hole. The judge was very frightened and from his rush to leave, he took his chair with him. But the dinosaur just wanted to make friends, in contrast to his scary appearance. So, when the judge tried to get out of the door, he closed the road for him. Having no choice, the judge stood still and said in a trembling voice: "Please don't eat me!!!" and the dinosaur replied: "I just want to have friends, I would never eat you!" And therefore, the judge and the dinosaur live harmonically and together, being inseparable friends forever!

Another story in Greek...Nikolia, Manos K. and Aggelos worked together for the story...Nikolia made the cubes

The Princess and the Pea, by pupils of 2nd grade

Pupils of the 2nd grade watched the story "The Princess and the pea" in English. They learned basic vocabulary from the story. Then they drew pictures from the story on the cubes. Finally, they narrated the story in Greek and used the English words they learned.

Some pupils were inspired by the story and narrated a new story using the English words they learned and the cubes.

5A class, using digital storytelling cubes

We started using digital story cubes while following online classes. Each pupil in turns tried to continue the story with the pictures...

Aspasia: Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess ... Arianna: ... who lived in the forest... Evridiki: One day she took a walk in the forest... Michaela: and while she was walking in the thick woods, the princess, called Sabrina... Margianna: ... met a dangerous ninja who was walking in the forest too... Zacharias: ...there was also a dragon walking in the forest … but the princess was not scared, because Maria: she had a magic pencil with her...it was the last present for her dad John D: with this pencil, she could find food or even protect herself in the dark night...

Ninja Turtle and a bad Dracula One day a ninja turtle was swimming in the palace pool. While he was swimming in the pool he heard steps. Someone was coming close to the pool. Fortunately, he had a guard lion. The lion was always next to him, so he went to see who was there. As soon as he saw Dracula, he got so scared because he thought that he was bad. He ran quickly to the Ninja turtle because he wanted to hurt him. When he came back to the pool, he saw that no one was there, but the Ninja turtle was holding a rope. Later he went out of the pool and took the Dracula away with his rope…and I didn’t tell you that he was also a good swimmer!!!!!!

Margianna, 5th grade

One day in the summer, a superhero went for a walk in the sea and saw a person drowning. Immediately he went to save him and he realized who the super guy was, a big burglar who had stolen banners from 100 houses and he managed to escape. The super good guy found a piece of paper on the ground&nbsp;and this charter led to the rare unicorn and this unicorn was rare because it was useful and gave gifts. The thief had followed him and he abducted him and there were no posters to reveal who he was. The unicorn was finally found inside a warehouse and since then no lists have been made again.&nbsp; Maria, 5th grade

Aspasia, 5th grade

Pupils of 6th grade also worked in groups to write stories with cubes and Lego bricks! They used one colourful cube with each side corresponding to a Lego construction. They got the corresponding bricks, built the construction and then wrote a story related to it...They had great fun playing and learning at the same time!

Here is the collective book with their stories in English by Napoleon, a pupil in the 6th grade

Pupils of 5B also worked with storytelling cubes during our online classes...we worked in a whole-class discussion and wrote an interesting story with the cubes...

Once upon a time, a cat lived in a big castle. One day a pirate wanted to kidnap the cat, but the cat had a knight, the lion. The pirate was not scared at all, the lion sounded like a cat. The cat ran away from the castle towards the sea. The cat wanted to swim, but he was too scared. The cat went into the sea and swam while being really really scared because there was an enormous crocodile. The cat pulled out a sword trying to stop the crocodile. He got rid of the crocodile and lived happily ever after.

Μια νύχτα της Κυριακής

Despina, Penny, George Gr., Konstantina 6th grade

Μια νύχτα της Κυριακής, ο μικρός Τάκης ήταν μόνος στο σπίτι του και έβλεπε τηλεόραση. Ξαφνικά άκουσε ένα δυνατό χτύπο στην μπροστινή πόρτα. Αναρωτήθηκε ποιος μπορεί να είναι αφού οι γονείς του είπαν ότι θα επιστρέψουν την Τρίτη. Κοίταξε από το ματάκι της πόρτας να δει ποιος είναι αλλά δεν είδε κανένα. Όταν πήγε πίσω στο σαλόνι άκουσε κάτι να σπάει στην κουζίνα. Έτρεξε&nbsp;γρήγορα να δει τι ήταν και όπως μπήκε μέσα είδε το παράθυρο σπασμένο. Μόλις το είδε άρχισε να ανησυχεί περισσότερο. Καθώς κοίταξε έξω από το παράθυρο είδε μια μαύρη φιγούρα να στέκεται έξω από το σπίτι του. Κατατρομαγμένος ο Τάκης άρπαξε το τηλέφωνο, πήγε στο δωμάτιό του και κλείδωσε την πόρτα. Όταν κλείδωσε άκουσε την μπροστινή πόρτα να σπάει και βήματα να έρχονται όλο και πιο κοντά. Κλαίγοντας ο Τάκης, πήρε την αστυνομία να έρθει σπίτι του. Μόλις έκλεισε το τηλέφωνο, άκουσε τα βήματα να σταματάνε μπροστά στην πόρτα του δωματίου του. Ξαφνικά, ο άντρας που ήταν πίσω από την πόρτα, ξεκίνησε να χτυπάει δυνατά την πόρτα. ¨ΜΠΟΥΜ, ΜΠΟΥΜ, ΜΠΟΥΜ!!!¨. Ο Τάκης άρχισε να κλαίει πιο δυνατά άκουσε τις σειρήνες τις αστυνομίας να έρχονται. Οι αστυνομικοί μπήκαν στο σπίτι του Τάκη και συνέλαβαν τον άντρα. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Οι γονείς του Τάκη γύρισαν αμέσως μόλις άκουσαν τι έγινε και αποφάσισαν να μετακομίσουν. Ο Τάκης και η οικογένειά του ήταν πλέων ασφαλείς.

It all starts here, at the port of Legopolis. A ship, old but strong, is ready to load its cargo and make a long journey to America. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So, it started with being loaded by a huge crane. You see, it had to carry a new safe for a bank. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It started its journey. But when it got halfway across the Atlantic, bad pirates got close. It was very scared, and it tried to avoid them. They saw it. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A long chase followed. The pirates got in it. But the cargo was well hidden. So, they didn't find anything, and they left. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The ship has now arrived safely at its destination once again. The cargo has been delivered. It also received an award for its “escape” from the pirates. What an adventure!

Once upon a time, there was a powerful truck that did a lot of work. It covered almost the whole town. For example, it was carrying heavy stones. One day, when it was carrying some huge stones, the driver suddenly heard a loud bang. The tire burst. The driver didn't have other tires and he didn't know what to do. So, he waited...And he waited until a truck came by and gave him a tire, but the truck still needed maintenance. After its maintenance, our truck had a job. It had to move the foundations of a house. It was loaded by a large crane and it left quickly because it had a long route. After some time, it arrived at its destination and everyone was waiting there to unload. When they started doing it, the crane lifted a heavy pipe and flipped over. Luckily, the truck went fast and caught him. Finally, everyone thanked it. What a tiring day! &nbsp; &nbsp;

«Η μαγεμένη ζωή»

Μια φορά κι έναν καιρό, ήταν ένας εργάτης μιας οικοδομής. Ζούσε στην Κυβόπολη. Έκανε κάθε μέρα μια εξαντλητική δουλειά και επέστρεφε κάθε βράδυ εξουθενωμένος. Μία μέρα λοιπόν, είδε ένα πεφταστέρι, έκλεισε τα μάτια του κι ευχήθηκε να δει ένα μάγο. Το επόμενο βράδυ, γυρίζοντας από τη δουλειά του, είδε μια παράξενη μορφή να τον περιμένει.

Σαστισμένος έτριψε τα μάτια του και έκπληκτος παρατήρησε ότι αιωρούνταν. Παίρνοντας παραπάνω θάρρος απ’ όσο θα έπρεπε, τον ρώτησε: «Τι δουλειά έχεις εδώ τέτοια ώρα;». Ο μάγος εξαφανίστηκε. Μετά από λίγο, ο μάγος γύρισε, πάνω σε μια σκούπα με μεγάλες ρουκέτες και με μια σημαία της επανάστασης, κάνοντας επικίνδυνους ελιγμούς. Αμέσως έφτιαξε ένα τούνελ και χώθηκε μέσα. Ήταν πανσέληνος. Ξαφνικά, βγήκε από εκεί και πετάχτηκε ακριβώς μπροστά του. Κούνησε το χέρι του και είπε «στοπ!». Τότε ο αιωρούμενος εργάτης έμεινε στάσιμος και ξάφνου, άρχισε να τρέχει γύρω του με μεγάλη ταχύτητα. Ο εργάτης πανικοβλήθηκε και δεν ήξερε πώς να αντιδράσει. Ο μάγος τους άφησε να προσγειωθούν. Ακολούθησε δυνατή μονομαχία με πολύ αδρεναλίνη. Στο τέλος, ο μάγος τον προειδοποίησε και μετά του έριξε ένα ξόρκι με ένα ραβδί, το οποίο τον έκανε να κοιμηθεί για έναν αιώνα. Όμως, όσο κοιμόταν, τον βρήκε ένας άντρας και τον πήγε στο κρεβάτι του. Όταν ξύπνησε είχε καταλάβει γιατί ο μάγος του έριξε το ξόρκι. Ο κόσμος είχε αλλάξει πολύ και όλοι τον κορόιδευαν, διότι ήταν παλιομοδίτικος, αλλά εξελίχθηκε και εφόσον δεν είχε γεράσει, έκανε φίλους και αργότερα οικογένεια. Τι ζωή κι αυτή!

Napoleon, Doxa, Lillian, George F. 6th grade

Pupils of 6th grade did a lot of work with stories practising their writing skills in Greek...

Μια ηλιόλουστη μέρα

&nbsp;&nbsp;Μια &nbsp;&nbsp;ηλιόλουστη&nbsp;μέρα, ένας γάτος&nbsp;&nbsp;με κεφάλι ανθρώπου μπήκε στο λεωφορείο και πήγε μια βόλτα στο Ηράκλειο. Όμως&nbsp;πολλοί τριγύρω του τον κοίταζαν&nbsp;περίεργα διότι , φορούσε παράξενα γυαλιά και&nbsp;μυστήριο καπέλο. &nbsp;&nbsp;Κάποια στιγμή δίψασε και πήγε σε ένα μαγαζί και ήπιε τη καλύτερη λεμονάδα&nbsp;συνοδεύοντας με πατάτες και κέτσαπ. &nbsp;&nbsp;Μετά όμως το πήρανε τηλέφωνο κάποιοι συγγενείς και του είπαν να πάει Κρουσώνα να τους δει. Όταν&nbsp;&nbsp;έφτασε του είπαν ότι άμα θέλει μπορεί να μείνει για μια με δύο βδομάδες. Τη Δευτέρα βδομάδα πήγανε στο Ηράκλειο και μείνανε στη πολυκατοικία&nbsp;τους και κάνανε ένα πάρτι. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Πέρασε γρήγορα και η άλλη βδομάδα, είχε έρθει η&nbsp;ώρα να φύγει, αλλά αυτός ήταν πολύ λυπημένος . Του άρεσε τόσο πολύ που ήθελε να βρει ένα σπίτι εκεί για να βλέπει και την οικογένεια του.

Fotini, Elpida, Maria 6th grade

&nbsp; Μια μέρα εγώ και οι φίλοι μου πήγαμε στην κατασκήνωση. Αυτή τη συγκεκριμένη μέρα είχε πάρα πολύ ήλιο, η θερμοκρασία ήταν άνω των 30 βαθμών κελσίου. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Μόλις φτάσαμε στη κατασκήνωση στήσαμε τις σκηνές μας για το βράδυ. Όταν ολοκληρώσαμε τις σκηνές μας, πήγαμε να κάνουμε μια βουτιά στη θάλασσα για να δροσιστούμε. Καθώς ο ήλιος έπεφτε και άρχιζε να νυχτώνει γυρίσαμε πίσω στις σκηνές μας για να φάμε κάτι. Όταν ανάψαμε τη&nbsp;φωτιά για να ψήσουμε το φαγητό μας ακούσαμε κάτι περίεργο και πήγαμε να δούμε τι ήταν και επειδή είχε νυχτώσει πήραμε μαζί μας και τους φακούς μας. Όταν απομακρυνθήκαμε αρκετά από τις σκηνές μας, ακούσαμε κάτι παράξενο και γυρίσαμε, είδαμε πως η φωτιά είχε σβήσει και οι σκηνές μας είχαν καταστραφεί. Εμείς τρομοκρατημένοι, γρήγορα φτιάξαμε τις σκηνές μας, ανάψαμε την φωτιά και προσπαθήσαμε να κοιμηθούμε αλλά ένας παράξενος ήχος δεν μας άφησε να κοιμηθούμε σχεδόν καθόλου. Περιμέναμε πως και πως να ξημερώσει για να φύγουμε. Ήταν μία από τις πιο ξεχωριστές αλλά και παράξενες εκδρομές μας!!

Then pupils tried on their own and wrote more stories...

Once upon a time there was Super Mario and his team. He and his team were at home and they had arranged to play in the amusement park. As soon as they arrived, they saw a grandfather magician, who told them that if they did not bring him the treasure, he would make them ants. Then he gave them a map of the treasure. The magician told them that they had to face a lion guarding the cave inside which Grandpa Nitsa had been guarding the treasure for 200 whole years. Super Mario and his team travelled for 3 days. As soon as they found&nbsp;the cave they met the lion and entered the cave they found Grandpa Nitsa and&nbsp;they&nbsp;told him that wanted the treasure because the magician had asked for it. The ninja told them that he had transformed him into a ninja and that he had to paint a man on a piece of paper and as soon as the super Mario painted him, he became a ninja man again.

The beggar king by Doxa &amp; Natalia

Once upon a time, there lived a king named Augustian. It dominated for about 12 years. But he had a serious flaw. He was very bad and forced his subjects to pay a tax of 100,000€. But one day, the inhabitants revolutionized. They fought for days, but in the end, they made it. They put a very ideal punishment on him. Driving a particular truck for 50 centuries, and 24 hours a day without being paid. His house was the truck. Every Friday he went from house to house begging to get the necessities. But one day, a very bad day, he starved to death. Only five people went to his funeral, and they didn't mourn him at all.

D class, using storytelling cubes to write a story

Pupils worked in groups and used the storytelling cubes to write a story in their L1....here is an interesting story in Greek:

One sunny day a girl was swimming in the sea when suddenly a Ninja appeared. His name was Diego and he gave her a present. As the girl was opening the present, magic dust came out of it and took her to a castle. Then a Dragon appeared and gave her a magic football, so she came back to the beach. In the end, the girl magically came back to her house and all was perfect! What an adventure!

The mystery Sun girl 007 One day a thief Ninja stole money from a man in the forest. The Sun girl 007, Alia, saw the thief stealing the money and took it back to the man. Then Alia became a celebrity. All the people adored Alia, the Sun girl 007. She had a magic pen and she could draw magic pictures. She also had a pet dragon, which was very good. Alia helped all the people. The thief never took anything from other people since then. Alia was the winner!

Michaela, 5th grade

THE WALK OF THE PRINCESS Once upon a time, there was a princess who lived in a big castle. One day the princess went for a walk in the large gardens of the castle. As she was walking with her unicorn, a thief appeared who wanted to take the princess' crown. The princess realized that she was a thief and with her magic wand she presented a ball. Then she threw the ball at his head and started running until with her magic wand she showed her a lifebuoy because the road ended and a long river started so that she could enter and not get drown. When the thief reached the end of the road he did not see the river and fell inside. After that, he did not bother the princess again.

Μια &lt;&lt; Κυβοϊστορία &gt;&gt; : Ταξίδι στην Ιταλία

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Μια φορά κι έναν καιρό, συνειδητοποιήσαμε πως ήταν μία, όχι και τόσο, συνηθισμένη μέρα. Ήταν η μέρα γενεθλίων της φίλης μας και σκεφτήκαμε να της οργανώσουμε ένα φανταστικό ταξίδι στην Ιταλία. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Μόλις της το ανακοινώσαμε, χάρηκε πάρα πολύ. Έφτιαξε τις βαλίτσες της και ήρθε μαζί μας στο αεροδρόμιο για την πτήση μας. Μετά από πολλές ώρες, φτάσαμε επιτέλους. Σκορπιστήκαμε αμέσως και ψάξαμε τα καλύτερα μαγαζιά, για να αγοράσουμε τα φθηνότερα και πιο οικονομικά πράγματα που χρειαζόμασταν- γιατί θέλαμε να της κάνουμε μια έκπληξη-. Μόνο μία από εμάς έμεινε μαζί με την φίλη μας, για να μην ένιωθε μοναξιά. Επικοινωνούσαμε “κρυφά” η μία με την άλλη, για το πως θα ετοιμάσουμε την έκπληξη και που. Κανονίσαμε να γίνει δίπλα στον πύργο της Πίζας, μιας και είναι ένα από τα ωραιότερα αξιοθέατα της Ιταλίας. Αγοράσαμε ένα ωραίο, πολύχρωμο κέικ, που μάλιστα, ήταν το αγαπημένο της. Μόλις “τελείωσε” η έκπληξη, σκεφτήκαμε να πάμε μια βόλτα. Καθώς προχωρούσαμε, το μάτι μας έπεσε πάνω σε δύο άντρες που έσκαβαν. Από απορία, πήγαμε να δούμε αν χρειάζονται βοήθεια. Έγνεψαν το βλέμμα και μας απάντησαν ναι. Με μεγάλη προθυμία, αρχίσαμε να βοηθάμε, αλλά ξαφνικά, γλιστρήσαμε μέσα σε ένα ορυχείο,και συγκεκριμένα, πάνω σε ένα μεγάλο κουτί. Το ανοίξαμε και βρήκαμε πολλά κοσμήματα, που μάλλον, θα είχαν ξεχαστεί από κάποιον. Καθώς προχωρούσαμε, βρήκαμε μια έξοδο. Όταν τελείωσε αυτή η συναρπαστική περιπέτεια, πήγαμε στο ξενοδοχείο που είχαμε κάνει κράτηση και κοιμηθήκαμε. Την επόμενη μέρα, πήγαμε στο αεροδρόμιο και περιμέναμε την επόμενη πτήση-που ήταν αυτή που πετούσαμε κι εμείς-. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Όταν έπρεπε να αναχωρήσουμε, γελούσαμε, με όλα αυτά που είχαν γίνει. Στο τέλος, “πετάξαμε” με το αεροπλάνο και επιστρέψαμε στην Ελλάδα, στα σπίτια μας. Μέχρι και σήμερα, θυμόμαστε αυτή τη ξεχωριστή εμπειρία και “κλαίμε από τα γέλια”.

Μια φανταστική ιστορία

Μια φορά και έναν καιρό ήταν μία οικογένεια που ζούσε στη Γαλλία. Αυτή η οικογένειά ζούσε πολύ κοντά στον πύργο του Άιφελ. Στον Νίκο, τον γιο της οικογένειας αυτής, άρεσε πολύ το ποδόσφαιρο. Ονειρευόταν ότι έπαιζε ποδόσφαιρο στις πιο μεγάλες ομάδες του κόσμου με μια χρυσή μπάλα. Ο Νίκος έπαιρνε μέρος σε πολλούς αγώνες και κέρδιζε συνέχεια με την ομάδα του αλλά αυτός ξεχώριζε. Σε έναν αγώνα κάποια φορά ένας κύριος του έδωσε ένα κύπελλο που είχε μέσα ένα γράμμα. Το γράμμα έγραφε ένα τηλέφωνο, ο Νίκος το κάλεσε και του απάντησε ένας κύριος με βαριά φωνή : «Έχετε κερδίσει χρήματα για να καλύψετε τα έξοδα για ταξίδια σε όλη τη γη.». Πρώτα πήγαν στην Ελλάδα και είδαν πολλά αξιοθέατα. Όπως τον Παρθενώνα στην Ακρόπολη, το παλάτι του Μίνωα στην Κρήτη και άλλους τέτοιους όμορφους προορισμούς. Όμως σε όλα τα ταξίδια που έκανε ένιωθε ότι τον παρακολουθούν. Κάθε φορά που γύριζε πίσω του έβλεπε ίχνη από μία πατούσα και τίποτα άλλο. Παραξενεύτηκε, δεν ήξερε τι να κάνει και όπως την κοίταζε άρχισε να σκάβει μέσα στα ίχνη της πατούσας. Όταν έφτασε σε αρκετά μεγάλο βάθος βρήκε τρία κοχύλια και ένα ρομπότ με μία μαύρη καρδιά. Μόλις γύρισε στο σπίτι του ανακάλυψε ότι όλα τα κοχύλια ήταν μαγικά!

Έβαλε τα κοχύλια στη σειρά και η καρδιά του ρομπότ, άναψε και αμέσως σηκώθηκε και άρχισε να μιλάει. Είπε στον Νίκο να ψάξει το μέρος που τα κοχύλια θα δείχνουν όλη τους τη δύναμη. Το αγόρι αποφάσισε να πάει να μείνει σε ένα μέρος στην εξοχή εκεί που τα κοχύλια θα λαμπυρίζουν πιο δυνατά. Ο Νίκος αγόρασε μία σκηνή, έβγαλε από την τσέπη του τα κοχύλια και τα ακολούθησε μέχρι που να λάμψουν αρκετά. Κάποια στιγμή άρχισαν να λάμπουν τόσο πολύ που μπορούσαν να σε τυφλώσουν. Ένιωσε ότι σε αυτό το σημείο κάτι κρυβόταν. Μόλις τα απομάκρυνε από εκεί λιγόστευε η λάμψη τους. Έτσι άρχισε να σκάβει, έσκαψε πάρα πολύ μέχρι που τελικά βρήκε μία ολόχρυση μπάλα. Αυτό που πάντα επιθυμούσε έγινε πραγματικότητα.

"The Enchanted Life"

Once upon a time, there was a construction worker. He lived in Kivopolis. He did a tiring job every day and came back every night exhausted. So, one day, he saw a shooting star, he closed his eyes and wished to see a magician. The next night, on his way home from work, he saw a strange figure waiting for him. Confused, he rubbed his eyes and was surprised to notice that he was floating in the air. Taking more courage than he should, he asked the magician, "What are you doing here?" The magician left. After a while, he returned, on a broom with large rockets and a flag of the revolution, making dangerous manoeuvres. He immediately built a tunnel and got in. It was a full moon. Suddenly, he got out of there and stopped right in front of him. He lifted his hand and said "stop!". Then the floating worker stood still and, suddenly, he started running around him at high speed. The worker panicked and didn't know how to react. The magician let them land. A strong battle started with a lot of adrenaline. In the end, the magician warned the worker and then threw a spell on him with a stick, which made him sleep for a century. But while he was sleeping, a man found him and took him to his bed. When he woke up, he understood why the magician had thrown the spell. The world had changed a lot, and everyone was making fun of him because he was old-fashioned, but he developed himself and since he hadn't aged, he made friends and family. What a life!
