Mother Europe

A long time ago there was a land called Europe, it had twenty-eight children who very often did not agree amongst themselves. One day Europe grew tired of the usual quarrels, and to make sure that wars were not created, asked the children of every state for help. These children, even if they did not speak the same language, enjoyed themselves and Europe was astonished and therefore asked everyone to help her to stop all her children from quarreling, because she couldn't take it anymore. She said: "Hello children, I am Europe, I am the mother of your fathers and mothers, states! But they are always fighting and I need your help! Are you there? ”The children replied:“ Certainly, grandmother! ”And Europa was a little hurt and said:“ Grandma? So you make me look old! "And the children replied:" Sorry, but if you told us that you are the mother of our fathers and mothers you are our grandmother! "And Europa replied:" Yes, in fact you are right children, but first we think to Italy and France who fight often! Especially for the games! Then Spain and Portugal fighting over who is the best!! And then many more! Can we do it? ”The children said,“ Yes, of course you are! ”Europa stopped and said:“ How do we do it ?! ”The children replied:“ If you don't know it! ”But a child said:“ Now there is Italy vs France, if we cheer for both of us, and then if we lose some of the two we tell him that there will be a next time!> And she said: "Yes you're right, Daniele, then they are both European countries! But there is so so much youth that I will feel old! At least they won't argue! "And another girl said," What if we make everyone peace with a game? You and us children against them and let them win, they will no longer quarrel! It has always been my dream! "And everyone answered:" You're right!! "And the children said:" We'll play the game of goose! "And so they did.

Thanks to that game everyone collaborated and so in Europe there was a big change and Italy and France didn't fight anymore. Spain and Portugal understood that there is no better one, that all states are important, even if they have different traditions and cultures. And this is how all the peoples of our continent should behave!
