Corona wanting revenge on the other animals, tried to find a way to do it. When, finally, she succeeded. She invoked an imposing black cloud, a thunderstorm broke out and a violent rain fell on the meadow. Corona had cast a spell, the coronavirus. The coronavirus was a curse that killed anyone who drank the water from the river. The prairie animals unaware of this curse continued to drink this poisoned water. A few days later, the first symptoms appeared on certain animals. The more the days went by the more it got worse. The great ancestral oak tree, seeing the animals of its plain suffering one by one, told tells them that there was only one possible solution, to put themselves in quarantine. All the animals listened to the great oak and the plain became deserted. No more animals left their his homes. The animal families were confined. The parents no longer went to work, the little ones deserted extras at school, and all the animals that worked in the medical community were mobilized to care for sick animals. Among these families, there was a family of foxes who tried to occupy themselves to pass the time, which became longer and longer. One day Papy fox felt very weak, and fell to the ground. They rushed him to the hospital on the plain. Rose, the youngest of this fox Renard family, who adored her grandpa, and wanting to get him out of this situation out of her house without being seen. She went to the big oak tree and questioned it: - "Big oak, I tell you what's going on, my grandpa is seriously ill, I want to help him". The big oak tree replied: "Rose, what are you doing here, you have no right, you have to stay at home, I can't help you". Rose replied, "I'm taking you!" He is going to die ”and tears ran down his face. Seeing this face so unhappy, the big oak tree said to him: "my child, a curse has befallen this plain, Corona has found a way to take revenge and if we do not stop it, all the animals of this plain will die. " Rose understood that it was necessary to act quickly: "what must be done? " Big oak replied: "You see this mirror it will show you the place where Corona is, follow the path to the river and break the curse" But Rose, worried, asked: "But, great oak tree, how can I break this curse? I'm just a child. " Then the big oak tree said to him: "My little one, a tear from a pure heart is enough to clear up a dark world tarnished by bad magic. " Rose looked in the mirror and saw where Corona was, she thanked the big oak tree and headed for the river. She arrived in front of a dark castle, destroyed by time and dark magic and entered by the big door. She advanced but found no one. She went up the stairs and saw a light in the middle of a large empty room. She walked towards this light when suddenly the wicked fairy appeared. Corona asked, "What are you doing here fox, and who allowed you entry? »` Rose replied: "Corona why did you launch this curse, why do you want to make the animals of the prairies suffer!" " Corona stepped back: "Who do you think you are?" I do what I like to do and if I don't like it, I don't care. " Rose got angry: "Corona ends this curse!" " Corona exclaimed, "Why would I do such a thing?" " Rose got angry more and more, felt new tears running down her cheeks: “You don't understand! Don't you have a family Because of your curse all animals suffer! My grandpa is about to die! I can't imagine living without him! Please stop this curse! " Her tears ran down the floor and reached Corona's feet and the wicked fairy turned into a beautiful flower. When Rose opened her eyes the cloud had disappeared, the rain had stopped and the storm had stopped. The animals all went outside and seeing the light returned understood that the curse was over. Rose went home, to the applause of all the other animals on the plain. Finally arrived home, she saw her grandpa who was impatiently waiting for her.

Once upon a time, there was a land without modernity, without glass towers and without endless avenues. This pure land was called Noscam and nobody reigned there. However, several individuals inhabited this land. Mamik was one of them : she was a half girl, half shamp, and usually she took care of her loved ones. She had a human mama, a dragon stepfather, and a gobelin brother. Mamik liked to live life to the fullest, but until now it was rather flat, and made up of routines. One day an old witcher came to the plot and gave a gift to the new baby boy of the land. Then, he left and the mother of the child (preterit) it : a cloud of smoke rose from the thin bark of willow marsault used as gift wrap. One week later, the usual customs were questioned by many individuals from the region. The reigning balance was jeopardized. The perfect and pure land quickly became the scene of many quests for profits to achieve superiority. Some people became helpless, reclusive, others haughty, and sometimes even mean. Everyday, every night the “half-genes” - Mamik’s surname - prayed her lucky star for balance to be restored. However, days after the abominations began, a knight found her. He was sent by her godmother to tell her that it would end, but that the duration would depend on her. He gave her (?) instructions and 2 fairies named Cée and Aif. She was determined not to make this bad period last. Cée and Aif by her side, clear instructions to guide her, everything was simple. But the dragon who watched over her did not want her to go on an adventure. What an ordeal! Thus, her stepfather locked her in a freshly constructed building: he didn't want this period to end. So Mamik sent one of her fairies to find the knight. In the meantime, she began her quest, the first step of which was to free herself from her feelings, and to take charge of her life. By the time the fairy and the knight delivered her, Mamik had matured her reflections, had put aside her gloom and sadness, to give way to joy and calm. So she escaped, her acolytes by her side, and continued to follow the instructions, step two of which was therefore to spread joy, good humor, and repent the creatures. Thanks to Mamik, the territory became as before again and the ravages of the poisoned gift remained left to the past.

A long time ago lived a beautiful Princess, called Taecharmante. She spent all her time in the Kimchi Kingdom’s castle, with her parents and her three friends. She could not go outside because of a pandemic which ravaged the Kingdom. There were no regions insensitive to the strange illness. To protect his family, the King Ma Ladroy decided to put Kimchi in quarantine, until the pandemic disappeared or that they found a cure. Even if Taecharmante was often thinking about Worldwide Handsome, her future husband, she was not alone in her bedroom. In fact, it had been a long time that she accommodated three goblins.

The oldest was named SleepGa. He was an avid follower of the twenty-two hour siesta.

The second, Jibeauty, was the most seductive of them. He liked teaching his art to Taecharmante who enjoyed a lot his little scene.

The youngest, Spriteu, was the one who spoke the most. With him, Taecharmante spent nights and days to remake the world.

However what she liked the most about those goblins was when they danced and sang. They were always there for her, like a sunshine during this terrible pandemic. The thing that no one knew was that this illness was actually not natural, but made by a lonely goblin, against his will …

G-Maknae was writing a story when he felt it went out of his book. First he thought that it was nothing. Nevertheless he started to feel bad. He had drowsiness, headaches, his nose was bleeding and his throat was hurting him. Slowly he recognized symptoms of his own story. The poor goblin ran away from house to warn the people, however it was too late. The virus he had written about was widespread in the Kimchi Kingdom. He would go back to his desk, to create a cure, a happy end. Nevertheless he fell on the floor, struck by a terrible fever.

In the castle, fear had replaced reason. The Queen Ma Chimolala was suffering from the illness. Taecharmante and her father were desperate. Furthermore Jibeauty had symptoms, which made the Princess deeply sad. The little goblin did not move. He was lying on a small bed that Taecharmante had manufactured for him. The two others were all the time watching over him. A day, Taecharmante decided to find herself a curse. She took a trousers to her father, a shirt and a pair of boots. She was about to ride her horse when she saw three points of light flying to her. SleepGa, Spriteu and the sick Jibeauty landed on the saddle. Taecharmante put them on her left hand.

"We come with you." SleepGa said "You have no choice."

"P-Please." Jibeauty stammered "If I-I got to die... I w-want to b-be with you." Taecharmante could not refuse. She put them on her shirt's pocket and leaved the castle. Not far from there, Prince Worldwide Handsome was on his way to visit the Princess. As the Carbonara Kingdom was not touched by the pandemic, they did not know about the Kimchi Kingdom's situation. He was quietly riding his horse when he heard the noise of an other, which was not part of his retinue. It was too fast. Suddenly he saw a beautiful person who was riding a black stallion. As he did not recognized the Princess, he ordered his retinue to bring her back. After a while, the Kimchi's future Queen has been circled by twenty soldiers from the Royal To Nick Protection.

Taecharmante fulminated against them. Jibeauty and her mother were about to die and the Carbonara Kingdom sent the personal protection of the Prince ? How odd ! Moreover they seemed take her for a bandit. Taecharmante removed her cloak.

"I am Ma Taecharmante, daughter of Ma Ladroy and Ma Chimolala, King and Queen of Kimchi. What do you want from me ? Why are you here ?"

"We are deeply sorry, Majesty, we did not recognize you."

"It does not answer my question." she said "Why are you here ?"

"The Prince would like to visit you."

The Princess lowered her eyes. Furiously, SleepGa got out of the pocket. Taecharmante wanted to catch him but he was too fast. "Visit ?" he replied taken aback "Do you really think that we have only that to do ? Program a visit ? My brother is between life and death, and you want to visit the Princess !"

Surprised the soldiers did not answer back. The Prince reached the group.

"Princess ? Is it really you ?"

Taecharmante nodded.

"Please accept my most sincere excuses ! I did not know you were so far from the castle. Is there something wrong ?"

"Actually, yes, there is. My Kingdom has been stricken by a cruel pandemic. I was on a way to visit the powerful goblin of the Seven Lands, to know if he could help us."

"It is very strange, there is no pandemic in Carbonara. We should get married in three days, therefore I would like to be sure you still agree with it."

"I do, Prince Jin. But my mother is already a victim of the virus, just like Jibeauty. If we do not find a cure, they could die. I refuse to lose them."

"I understand. I will be an honor to follow you on your quest."

They heard SleepGa grunt. Taecharmante convinced him to be nicer with him, as Prince Jin To Nick was her future husband, so that they would lived together after they were be married. SleepGa did not replied. He went back to the pocket, where Spriteu was whipping Jibeauty's forehead. The poor goblin could not talk anymore. He was too tired for that. His eyes were sometimes open, nevertheless not for a long time and less often than at the beginning of their trip.

The Seven Lands were located between two mountains. The group had to climb one of them to find the lonely powerful goblin, G-Maknae.

Jin To Nick and Taecharmante talked a lot during the ascent. They learned things about each other, about their passions and tastes. The Prince sincerely loved the Princess. Suddenly, they heard an evil laugh. Jin stopped them.

"It must be Sasaeng, the bad goblin." informed Spriteu "She had been banished a year ago because she had tried to use dark magic."

Taecharmante shivered.

"What else to you know about her ?" Jin asked.

"All he wants is power. Also, she was in love with G-Maknae, but not him. Maybe the pandemic is a revenge from her."

"I did not think you were that intelligent." creaked a voice.

A thick fog appeared with a little goblin. She terrified the group, except from SleepGa, Spriteu and Jibeauty, who actually already fight her when she had been banished. As Jibeauty was too weak, he stayed with Taecharmante, who took him on his hand to permit him to see the fight and give advice to his friends. SleepGa attacked with a sleepy song while Spriteu used the sun’s energy to weaken Sasaeng. She was strong because she produced dark energies however Taecharmante’ goblins did not give up. Jin To Nick raised his head.

« Ogre ! » he screamed. Taecharmante, who believed he would order : “Load !” had been very surprised when she heard him.

“Carbonara !” he shouted.

Immediately his retinue loaded ogres. Taecharmante hid herself in a hole on the rock to protect Jibeauty. The little goblin shared his last strength with his friends. The path fastly changed into a battlefield. The Princess did not know where were the goblins or her future husband. She only heard shout. In her left hand, Jibeauty had been taken by trembling. The situation was critical. In a last breath, the fairy told SleepGa and Spriteu to sing. Both of them complied. Then Taecharmante, Worldwide Handsome and the retinue were struck, like ogres and Sasaeng, by the beauty of their voices. SleepGa and Spriteu benefited from this distraction to throw a spell on Sasaeng. The evil goblin broke into in a well of green light. Taecharmante get out of the hole. Her eyes were filled with tears. SleepGa and Spriteu too. They felt the death of their friend when they were singing. Prince Jin came to be sure that everybody were safe.

« Maybe the lonely goblin could do something. » he said « Do not lose hope, nothing is ending. »

They finished the ascent in a heavy silence. Taecharmante and her two goblins were devastated. Suddenly they saw the Seven Lands with, at the middle, the destroyed house of the powerful goblin. The Princess abandoned her horse and entered. She breath again when she saw G-Maknae tied up. She freed the little fairy. G-Maknae, without telling her anything, went hurry to his desk, and finished his story. After that he turned around to the Princess.

« Majesty, you cannot imagine how much I am sorry for all of this mess. I did not make these people die. Sasaeng used her power against me. I did not notice it at first. Oh… Is he dead ? »

« Please, tell me that you can do something. I do not know what happened, but my mother, the Queen, is sick, and this courageous goblin just died. »

« How long was it ? »

« Maybe a day. I lost count of hours after the fight. »

« Put him here. I can save him. »

For once SleepGa did not tell anything. It took a half minute to G-Maknae to save Jibeauty. The fairy opened his eyes, surprised.

« Oh ! »

He became ashamed when he saw G-Maknae. The powerful goblin gave him a pink necklace.

“With that, nothing wrong could happen to you anymore.”

He gave it too to SleepGa and Spriteu.

« I am sorry, Majesty, but my magic only works on goblins. »

« I know it. Thank you, G-Maknae. I will never forget what you have done. »

« Do not forgive me like this, Princess, I am the origin of this pandemic. I must be punished for what I have done. »

« Why do you not just come to the castle ? » Jibeauty said. His ears turned red.

« As that, you could… Live with us. With me. » he said with a little voice.

“I would be honored.”

The group went back the to Kimchi’s castle, where the Queen could be saved. Jibeauty and G-Maknae spent all their time together, also with SleepGa and Spriteu. Taecharmante married Jin To Nick and they lived for a long time and with a lot of… Carbonara.

A few hours later Alana and Eänendil started to have a cough, fever and a respiratory unease .They didn't understand what was going on. Upon reflection, they realized that they were victims of the contamination of this man of the seas. Thus, both isolated him in the basin to avoid spreading the disease on the island. An island doctor came to examine the two friends and diagnosed them with an illness whose name is still unknown to this day. The doctor asked them to remain confined to their homes for a fortnight since he did not know how the disease could progress. Meanwhile, the two friends could not see each other, which was why they decided to write to each other every day in order to keep in touch and reassure the other about their state of health.

Both noticed a huge lack of the other's presence, however they did not succeed in confessing to the other. During this time, the doctor inquired and conducted research on this disease. Thanks to the country located a few kilometers from the island, the doctor learned that the disease was called Covid 19. However, there were uncertainties regarding the treatments to treat people affected by this virus. As Alana and Eänendil did not have their vital prognosis involved, they had to wait until the symptoms disappeared on their own. If their health deteriorated, they could certainly die. Two weeks later, the two friends were gradually recovering. They then decided to leave their kingdom in order to find themselves. For several hours, they talked and confided in their feelings for each other. They learnt that unfortunately a huge part of the island caught the Covid 19 during their fortnight, so they decided to find a solution together. Formerly Alana lost her magic wand in the jungle next to her kingdom. For days and days she looked for him without success. The two decided to resume research in order to try to treat all these people. After hours of research, Eänendil saw a light, he approached and noticed that it is Alana's wand. They ran to the bedside to look after them. Alana utters a formula that previously treated people with the flu. A few minutes later, people would feel better. The two managed to eliminate this Covid. To congratulate Alana, Eänendil kissed her. However, there was one person left to look after, the man of the seas. They decided to go see how he was. Seeing him still in bad shape, Alana treated him with his wand. After a few minutes, seeing him in better shape, they decided to put him back in the water so that he could resume his life. The two lovers continued to see each other every day and had some wonderful time together.

They lived happily and had many children.

Afterwards, Ania came out of the water, though she felt like she was no longer in her garden. Indeed, a dark forest stood in front of it. Tired and starving, she decided to sleep a little by the bank. When she woke up, a form was standing in front of her, it was a wolf, his mouth open ready to eat she.

She ran until she was no longer of strength. She thought she had run away from this furry beast. She inspected the surroundings and heard a voice, "We were waiting for you, we need you to defeat the monster hiding in the palace." Ania looked for the origin of this voice and discovered that it came from the ground. Indeed, she discovered a lizard. She asked him "How do you know me?". She thought, also that she was starting to go crazy maybe she had taken a blow on the head, she was so clumsy. But the lizard answered her "You are a daughter of the people, that of prophecy, you must save us. Our survival depends on you. I will tell you the story of our kingdom and you will discover why it is so dark and dangerous."

A long time ago, in a distant country in which everyone lived happily named the kingdom of Arendelle, a woman destroyed and cruel following her break with the king of this kingdom decided to take revenge. On the other hand, her blood which was silver like that of royalty which conferred on her powers and fairies which she removed. This noble woman became powerful but her power could only do good. Devastated, she went to the recycling center, the only place where she was not banished, she later found an evil spell. She transformed into an awful creature and returned to the palace.

This ravaged the red-blooded people who had no power and could not defend themselves. It weakens them by making them sick and killing many people. Disunited, he could not face this evil queen because they had to keep away from each other, so she kept the crown and created an army of silver blood with evil power, tracking down the survivors.

However, a prophecy gave hope to the survivors who were hiding in the mountains, confined. It said:

Ania no longer understood anything, she had to dream because of the boredom of the confinement imposed by the president, yet all that seemed so real. It was then that suddenly a pack of wolves came to her head the wolf who had tracked her earlier. Ania and cezar the lizard could not escape, they knew it, they had no escape except death.

They thanked her and decided to help her stop the terrible witch to free the kingdom from the pandemic.

Many animals have joined this angel. As a result, the survivors of the coronavirus came to meet the daughter of the fulfilling prophecy. The Red Army, as red as dawn, was ready to face the witch. At the gates of the palace began the battle, red against silver. Ania walked through the palace doors and met the queen in the throne room. She thought that before the woman who stood in front of her must be beautiful but she was now only ugliness. Shadows ran everywhere over her skin, her eyes no longer contained any trace of humanity, her nails like talons she held her stick which contained her power."You look fine to me, I was expecting a bigger and stronger man but look at what I have become because of a man. They all have to pay. All! prevent it, join me, "said the silver queen calmly. "No I won't let you do it," cried Ania A fight ensued power against power then suddenly while Agia was cornered against a wall, Solange, the chickadee, stole the witch's stick. She no longer had any power, Ania threw a flash at her which wounded her, knocked her down, and the young woman took the crown of the fallen queen. She then locked her up, revoked the spell. There would be no more death. And finally, before going home, Ania released the prince locked for many years.

Once at home, she had no more power, however she had saved the world from darkness. In her world, the coronavirus was gone too. Ania returned to her former life, went out with her friends and lived happily ever after. She never forgot her friends and the Prince of Arendelle. However, she never really knew if it had been real or if it was due to her imagination and the countless books she had read during her confinement. Amandine M., 1G3

Once upon a time in a magic world, all of kinds of creatures were living in a good place and peacefully: elves, goblins, fairies, ogres, and humans. All of them, were unified in a single world where the wisdom and happiness reigned there. The proof was that sometimes these different creatures helped each others, in order to make a better and peaceful world. However, in only one day, everything turned around in disaster: a strange r thing that we could to characterize as a maleficent devil, had been spreading all around in the world. The fairies (elves, goblins, ogres, fairies) called him the "evil spirit", humans "the virus". In consequence this one, cursed all great towns and capital of many countries were cursed. It contaminated everything on its his path until it was ready to kill, only humans were affected, but strangely not creatures. Therefore, the King Stephen took the things under control and he decided to put all the population in quarantine as long as it would be it possible, in order to protect them because the most important, was not to be affected and tragically killed by the virus. Unfortunately, people lost their mind, so the King warned them that they shouldn’t mustn't give in to the panic and then to keep calm, because order would be restored quickly. After the quarantine and rules have been established, no one could get out of his house during this pandemic, and it lasted exactly ………..finally does exactly years, that they are all of them were stuck at home. But fortunately, the magical creatures were often coming for them.

Meanwhile, in a faraway of town, lived a young girl in a little wooden house in the forest magic forest: we could heard all the time the birds singing into the trees, the noise of foliage who that were sliding on the floor, and then the river who sinking and crossing along till the end of the forest. It was a place very calm place where the sun was shining, flowers blooming, and where bees could to collect their own honey . We can even say, that it was a beautiful place and that nobody could know it, since it was well hidden.

Among the fairies who lived here, three of them were kind s of guardians where they had the responsibility to protect the Princess Aurora from an early age. The three magic s fairies had saved the Princess thanks to King Stephen who had assigned them the task to protect his daughter, because Maleficent had ruined her christening ceremony of this one for as a revenge against the King, before the virus arrived. Nevertheless after this invasion in the castle, the three fairies made the most wonderful gifts to the Princess: the first one, Flora, gave her the gift of the beauty; the second, Fauna, has attributed blessed her with the gift to be always happy, smiling in her life no matter what happened; and finally the last one, Merryweather, chose to give the gifts of the kindness, compassion, and the love. The three fairies taught to Aurora a lot of things during this quarantine: she learnt how to play her favorite instrument, the piano. She succeeded to cook thanks to recipes of her godmothers, and she also learnt to improve her drawings. Indeed, she was never bored. Until one day carefree and unconscious, Aurora left the house for the first time without the authorization of her godmothers. Nothing affected her although she was in the forest magic forest. She continued on her way, whose she followed the river which brought her to the end of this one. But she was suddenly stopped by a rider on his white horse, who made his appearance. By great politeness and kindness, the rider presented himself as a Prince: The Prince Philip.

A long discussion later, the sunset fell, and the Prince said he would come back to see her. He did the promise to kill the evil Maleficent for what she had done lately. The Prince was admired for his bravery, his courage and his determination: something had settled between them. The young girl returned at home, and near of this one someone was waiting for her. She looked like an older person with a large coat and a great hood black. We almost couldn't see his face because of the shadow, but Aurora could still discern a part: she had a long nose, and eyes green eyes. The Princess naive princess didn't know that it was a witch, whose Maleficent who was transformed into a witch. The witch gave her an apple cursed apple, and the young girl fell in a dream for the eternity. Later, her godmothers found her under the worry and brought her into the house. The fairies couldn't do anything to save Aurora, because the powers of Maleficent were very powerful. Moreover, the virus was always here, but a war had exploded in order to kill Maleficent once and for all. It lasted for years. Eventually, Prince Philipp won this fight and he defeated the witch. All spell disappeared included the virus, excepted the spell of Aurora. She was always sleeping, in the same place and then she was lying in his bed, with a red flower in her hands. The Prince came to see her, and kissed her to take off the spell. Fortunately, she woke up and both lived happily ever after in the world without fights and without virus either.

(The Princess and the Prince were not affected by the virus, because the forest was magic. This one protected and made all enchantment disappear, including the virus.)

The Coronavirus to explain the coronavirus situation to little ones

Once upon a time, in a distant faraway land a small virus, very ugly because all viruses are very ugly, sat in a corner with his legs crossed and thought : « nobody even notices me ! ». One day a wise old virus came up to him, and said, « Covid, for this was his name, why are you so sad? » Covid answeed, « I am sad because all these dangerous viruses around me and doctors study them, and look for medicines, and all human beings talk about then instead NOBODY ever talks about me ! I would also like a medicine designed just for me ! ». « You must know Covid, said the old wise virus, that each virus has its own characteristics and dangers. You just have to understand what you are very good at. » So Covid cheered up thanks to the words of the old wise virus, and began to analyse himself, to study himself, to understand how he could be dangerous and he found the solution : Covid was a very fast virus, do you know what this means ? It means that he could infect a lot of people ! And although he could only bring fever and a little cough, imagine what a mess if all humans found themselves with a cough and a fever ! « Here is my strength ! » Said the wicked Covid, so he went down to the earth, he infected the first person and in a very short time he infected many, so many that at some point they closed schools, cinemas, all the parks, and even the theaters were closed... In a short time, all over the world everyone was talking only about him and all the doctors together, started studying a medicine specifically for him and all the news started talking about him ! Covid became so famous, but so famous, that all viruses by common agreement named him their king : It is precisely for this reason that a large crown of solid gold appeared on the head of Covid and today we all call him the Coronavirus because the crown is bigger than Covid himself !!! So he was very, very happy because he was the king of all viruses. Everyone talked about him, and in the meantime, all human beings were more and more infected and in order to avoid getting too bad with fever and cough, they were advised to stay inside the house. However, after the winter, there is the spring and during the spring, it's hotter ! So our Coronavirus realized that with the increase of heat he was a little slower, and more slack, so he thought : « mmm...here I risk losing my name as a super fast super contagious, super powerful virus ! Now that heat has almost arrived I must go, and I will return next winter and again I will contaminate everyone ! » So the Coronavirus made his decision... « Dear friend, I say goodbye because I am a tactician, I will go for a holiday in the Antarctic and see you when the cold comes back and the scoundrels are ready to infect everyone again ! How foolish these human beings are ... All they need to do is wash their hands and wear a mask ! You can escape, but you don't know that here the doctors have prepared a breathtaking remedy. What a bad surprise you will find ! » Therefore, when the Coronavirus returned the following winter, with the return of the cold, he was convinced he would be able to infect everyone again. So he went to the first person, approached and approached, but was unable to enter. Then he went to the second person, approached and approached and once again failed to enter. Then he understood : during the summer, doctors all over the world, after studying very hard, had found a medicine against him, and therefore all people now were protected and he could no longer infect them ! So he returned to his kingdom of the viruses, sat down on the ground with his legs crossed, this time the old wise virus saw him and said : « My dear Covid, my dear Coronavirus, I'm sorry but you're done ! They found a powerful antidote against you and now you can no longer infect anyone ! » This signed the end of the reign of the Coronavirus.

Lewis's journey

The time came in those Covid-19 days, when Lewis was beginning to get very tired of sitting alone on his bed, He slept so much that he got tired of doing it. He had read all his books in a week, and found out that he didn't like them that much. He wanted to go out and pick some daisies, but he was locked inside his own house, “This is ridiculous” thought the young boy, “I cannot be locked in my own house, it makes no-sense”, But when he tried to open the front doors, a voice yelled “You foolish boy, don't you understand that outside is not safe ?!” the voice was coming from the door itself, “The queen will behead anyone who passes through me, you shall get back to where you live”, Lewis did not like at all the tone of this voice, HE lived there after all, but the thought of having no head, made him uncomfortable, “This will make it harder to brush my teeth”. So he turned back to go to his bedroom but what he saw was not his house, he was in a garden !

“How did I get here ? ” Lewis wondered who turned around to see where he was, he couldn't figure out how and when he had got there. The sun was bigger than usual, and flowers were as big as trees, “This is humongous! If only my friends were here to see this” said Lewis fascinated. He started following a little roadway, “I hope this will get somewhere near my house” said Lewis to himself. Suddenly a little voice mumble something, “You should take the right road”, Lewis wondered where the voice was coming from and said timidly, “Did you say something ?”, the voice was clearer, “I've 'Never said SOMETHING, I said you should take the right road”, then a little gnat appeared in front of Lewis, “You are deaf, or are you mocking me ?” said the gnat impatiently, its wings were bigger than its body, “What a funny little fly !” Lewis laughed, he was sure he had taken the right road, there were only ONE road. After a moment where both of them were quiet, Lewis thought it would be better to apologize, “I am sorry sir, I didn't mean to mock you, it was a way to make you repeat what you said” Lewis cried, he added “Could you show me the way to my house ?”, “Well, who can you see further on the road ?” said the gnat by flying around Lewis, “Should I see someone ? Because I see nobody...”, “Exactly ! So you see nobody too, He is faster than me !” Lewis was puzzled and wondered how to reply, “It is a bit conceiting to tell someone that you are the fastest gnat”, to these words the gnat was obviously offended, and said in a distinct voice, “You are such an impolite boy, how dare you mocking me again! You ought to follow me and be quiet for now” Lewis was very bewildered and didn't ask more about it. Therefore they kept walking on the only roadway for a while, Lewis didn't want to offend the gnat again, so he tried to change the subject, “So, how does it feel to fly ?” wondered Lewis after seeing the gnat waving around, “Well, how does it feel to walk” the gnat replied, Lewis didn't aspect to have a question back, but he answered, “If YOU want to know, It makes me feel tired, and thirsty”, the gnat replied after a long moment of silence, “It makes me feel tired too, are you thirsty ?” the gnat asked by flying in front of Lewis's eyes “Actually I didn't mind to have a drink” Lewis politely replied, “I know a place where you shall have a little rest, it's...” he flew above the Lewis's head and after a while he yelled “Straight on !” and the gnat suddenly flew faster, Lewis had to run to catch it up.

The Gnat was flying for so long that Lewis had no breath left to say so, the most curious part of the thing was; that the flower-trees and other things around him were getting smaller and smaller, to the point that even the gnat were barely visible. “Now, I'm getting really thirsty!” said Lewis who was out-of-breath, he sat on a rock near the road, exhausted he talked to himself for a while. What disturbed him was the drone of the bees near him, Lewis has always been frightened by bees, thus he got on his knees and he closed his eyes. The loud buzzing sound was getting bigger and bigger and then, “Oh Hi there, are you lost buddy ?” a calm voice came from the sky. Poor Lewis, he tried to open one eye, and the other, and eventually he was glad that it was over. “Who's there ? Is it you Mister gnat ?” , the voice replied angrily “A gnat ?! You must be blind to not see that I'm a King !”, Lewis stood up and saw that the king was a hornet ! “Oh no, I'm sorry, I didn't see your crown” The hornet had a little crown on his head, and he had a red cape. Lewis was afraid of being stung by anything. The hornet said to him, “Do you know the rules ? Are you allowed to go outside ?”, “Which rules ?” Lewis thought, “I think I AM in my rights to be here”, “In your dreams ! Off with his head !” suddenly the hornet attacked Lewis with its sting, Lewis struggled and screamed and he passed out.

Lewis rubbed his eyes, he was in his bed, he was still numb by fear, but he heard his cat purring, “Oh Kitty, that was another terrible dream, you should have seen the big flowers and the gnat !” The cat purred and slept back. He went to his flower-pot next to the window, and fed them with water, “You must be thirsty !” he saw a bee pollinate and made him remember his dream. He went to his bed to tell all the story to his cat.
