One day students with their teacher went for a school trip to sightsee a very old castle in Poland. All the students were very excited because they all heard the stories about a haunted castle with a very scary monster living in it - The Basilisk! One of the students decided to go into the dungeons and suddenly he saw a very scary monster- the Basilisk! He wanted to scream but he couldn't. Instead he started to laught out loud! The rest of the students heard the boy's laughter and came down into the dungeons. They looked at the Basilisk and...laughed as well. They couldn't stop! It was the first time that people laughed at that scary monster. That was a haunted castle and all the people felt afraid of going inside. "You are the funniest monster I have ever seen." said the little boy.&nbsp;"No way! I am the scariest monster ever. Everyone runs away when they see me." said the monster angrily. "Now you will see...." Rooooaaaaarrrr! The boy ran to his friends and they all came back to see the "scariest" dragon.&nbsp; They were ready for him. They did a research with their teacher for this dragon.&nbsp;They all brought&nbsp;icy water sprays and started spraying the dragon.....soon the dragon lost his power to blow fire . Oh, noooooo!

Once upon a time, in the seventh century, in the land of the sea, lakes, lowlands and mountains. In a beautiful pond near the centuries-old oak forests lived a blue frog. Every day he bragged in front of the other frogs of his exceptional color. But, one morning he woke up like a ... What's happened? One morning he woke up as a big nose . What happened ? When he looked at mirror , he saw his big nose.He was surprised.He supposed that this is a dream. Bad dream. He washed his&nbsp;face and looked at mirror again. Unfortunately&nbsp;this is not adream.And&nbsp;today there is&nbsp;Cake&nbsp;Festival . He can't seeanything from his big nose. He should go&nbsp;to cake festival too. Because he is a festival taster. There are rabbits&nbsp;at festival too. Rabbits and blue frog will decide&nbsp;which cake is will&nbsp;take first prize. But what will happen now ? He looked at the mirror again while hoping that all of this is just a nightmare. But he barely saw a reflection of a spectacular frog with a big, big nose. "What an ugly thing!" he cried. "And how can I see the cakes with this big thing?" he said angrily. "I am the most beautiful creature in this forest and I need to choose a winner for the competition.But I can't see clearly. Oh what should I do?" Then a brilliant idea has come to his mind! "I am not only the most beautiful&nbsp;animal in this forest but also&nbsp;the most clever one!" he yelled&nbsp;happily. When he went there, everyone started to faint with laughter. The frog didn't understand it first but when he saw his reflection on the lake, he also couldn't stop laughing. He was looking like a clown!

Keloğlan decided to go to Nasreddin Hodja's house. He left his home and he started to walk in the forest. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise among trees.He looked around to find out what that noise was. He saw a giant coming towards him. The giant looked happy when he saw Keloğlan.Because he thought Keloğlan was a grassman that he wanted to buy for a long time. The giant took Keloğlan to his cave holding him in his hands.Keloğlan was afraid. He said to himself: -"What will I do?" The giant put Keloğlan at the most beatiful place of his cave.&nbsp; While the giant was eating his lunch, Keloğlan ran away from the cave. He started to run. He bumped into Hodja. Nasreddin Hodja realised that he gave Keloğlan wrong potion, so he brought a new potion to remove grass from Keloğlan's head. Keloğlan drank it. Keloğlan finally got rid of his grass hair. At that moment, the giant arrived, looked for his grassman. He got angry when he saw Keloğlan without grass hair. Nasreddin Hodja said to Keloğlan: -"Don't worry Keloğlan. The giant's favourite food is fruit.and I have a basket full of fruits.." The giant was very happy with the fruits. he went to his cave. When he arrived home, he looked himself in the mirror. He saw his bald head and laughed at his reflection. He loved himself with his bald head.

Assuntino was very scared and worried. Because his best friend was in trouble and he had to do something to save his friend. Fernando was Assuntino's childhood friend and they had a lot of experience together. He had to find a way to save his friend from that smoky roof. It could be too late until fire brigade came and Fernando could die. Suddenly he got that great idea.Fernando had made fun of Assuntino's belly for years but it could be Fernando's salvation.But how??? Assuntino lied down and wanted Fernando to jump on his belly. Fernando jumped Assuntino's belly like a trampoline. Assuntino's belly was as soft as a pillow. Fernando saved without even bleeding a nose. They were very happy, they huged and Assuntino said his friend " Let's go and eat pizza."

Interview eTwinning Project  Laughter is the Best Medicine

AND... SOME POPULAR SAYING

Actions speake louder than words. Laughter is an instant vacation. Cheerful vinegar seller earns more than sulky honey seller. Every laugh is worth a glass of blood. Take the bitter with the sweet. Be someone's reason to smile. All people smile in the same language. People who never laugh are not serious people. A day without laughter is a day wasted. Laugh as much as you breathe,love as much as you live. Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face. There shouldn't be a person who doesn't laugh in the world. The early bird catches the worm. Better a sparrow in the hand than a dove on a branch. If you can not help me, do not let me down. Better ever than never. The flower is the most beautiful while nobody touch it. A good laugh heals a lot of hurts. Earth laughs in flowers. Laughter has no foreign accent. Remember this: very little is needed to make a happy life. A good laugh heals a lot of hurts. A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. Smile, it's free therapy. A good laugh is a mighty good thing, a rather too scarce a good thing.
