We will have a LIVE EVENT among classes at 10:00 -10:30 CET where each class will read in native language a very short story-myth and the teacher (or a capable student) will say the short moral of the story in English. We will have the pleasure to share languages and see -maybe- that the morals are quite the same.
Petroupoli, Greece "The farmer with the 3 sons" (AESOP's Fable)
A dying Father called his Sons to his bedside in order to give counsel. He said: “There is a great treasure hidden in one of the vineyards.” Shortly after that he died. The Sons, upon his death, took up implements and carefully dug over every part of the land. They found no material treasure, but the vines yielded an extraordinary crop because of the care.
Moral: "No pain no gain", "We create the our fortune", "Industry (Labor) is itself a treasure"
Latvia will read a fairy tale
Ukraine will present a fable of a famous Ukrainian poet Leonid Hlibov:

EXTRA ACTIVITIES AT SCHOOL LIBRARIES
