Antonio has sent us information about a project to protect trees:

I LIKE TAKING CARE OF TREES.

I like those people who dedicate their time to take care of trees and preserve these magic beings.

Seventy per cent of all the oldest trees of Europe are in the United Kingdom but many of them have serious problems of preservation. I like the "Ancient Tree Hunt" project because it is a project that registers each old tree of Great Britain. These trees are real treasures and part of nature heritage: they are special habitats form many exotic plants, birds and mammals. Three quarters of the seventeen bat species in United Kingdom live in them. Some plants can only survive in the oldest trees and some rare lichens can grow on their barks. These trees are in danger and once they disappear we won't be able to do anything.

I LIKE ELEVATORS WITH TRANSPARENT WALLS

I like going from worse to better

So, to begin with:

I DON’T LIKE

Receiving a sms and then finding out it’s just advertisement
Graffittis consisting just of a signature
Wasting food
People wearing caps with the peak at one side
Piercings in the lips
Pet phrases
Versions that are not better than the original
Being the first to arrive home
Closed groups
My glasses getting steamed up
Last year’s calendars


I LIKE

To score a long-distance basket
That very moment when I find the person I’m talking with is thinking the same than me, and no one tells
Friendly talkative unknown people
Watching an effervescent pill disappear slowly in the water
Walking through a big city at night on a working day
Jumping on hotel beds
Putting the pillow over my head
Whistling
Clapping
Not having any work to do after having had a lot of work to do
Unwillingly understanding an English song
Listening music in darkness and dancing with my shoulders as I stay sitting
Smart jokes
Silly jokes
Pretending to be the conductor of a philharmonic orchestra
Elevators with transparent walls
Putting my legs on the table
Scratching my eczema
Holding certain persons in my arms
Stubbornly discussing on non practical issues
Hot bread
The feeling of the scissors when I’m getting a haircut
Looking through just cleaned glasses
Opening a vacuum-packed jar
Double sense expressions
The smell of very cold weather
Walking barefoot
Dark hair
Looking at other people’s faces on the reflection of the window of the wagon as the train runs through a tunnel
Coffee shops on railway stations and airports
Grown-up women with a ponytail hairstyle
Coincidences
Bursting bubbles on wrapping plastic
Walking trough the streets of my town as I come back from a trip and looking around with a foreigner’s eyes
Being surprised by the rain inside the swimming pool
Sparrows
The empty space behind the staircase
To scrap the remains of the stuff which croquettes are made of from the hot pan, and eat it
Finding something I was not looking for
Listening to someone I love reading aloud something I love


And
I like leaving the best for the end.
So
I like:
Being aware that my two sons love each other
And
I like some English teachers very much.

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED SWIMMING OUTSIDE WHILE RAINING?

Something I really love is water. I love swimming or having a shower, no matter when or where. Maybe I was a fish in mi previous life. However, what I like the most is the first drops of rain on the window while I am reading next to it. I can spend some time just watching how the window is getting wet drop by drop. Have you ever tried swimming outside while raining? That's too much.
I like silence (people who know me don't believe me), but I really enjoy a good book in silence and almost dark.
I also enjoy listening to a smart conversation, following a good lecture or just realising how much we all can learn.
Finally I love hugging my cat (I don't think he shares this opinion), some minutes with him gives me the peace and relax I need after wasting so much power in classes everyday.

It is difficult to find something I don't like but... what about stubborn and selfish people? I hate slavery in any of its grades and possibilities. I don't like following the rule, fashion and the general thought. I can't stand violence films or some news on TV. I don't like people who hurt other people feelings, and don't care about human beings. And the most important, I dislike not having so much time to do those thing I really like, hehe!

I like coming home in winter after school and going quickly to the fireplace and feeling the heat in my hands. I like going to the beach in summer, in the morning, very early with muy girlfriend and feeling the air on our faces and watching the seagulls flying and hearing the waves hitting the rocks It's really beautiful when you're alone with her in that place.

I LIKE TREES

HAPPINESS One day in the woods of my village, I sat next to an old beech. I got tired of walking from one place to another in search of "miculas" and finding no one. Suddenly a deep voice began to narrate a legend; it was the old beech, she could speak, she could feel, could mourn, laugh, smell, suffer...
"They say that a long time ago people did not get well between them. They were despots, petty, tax, haughty. They didn’t get in touch and when they did it was to quarrel. Arrogance and pride were the hallmarks of beings inhabiting the earth. The God who cared for the land was very angry because there wasn’t humility and tolerance in any corner of the planet. He decided to impose a punishment to all mankind: he would hide happiness and it would be never found, but the question was where to hide it so that man will never find it “
The mountain god suggested him to hide it in the highest mountain, but the man came and found it. Then the sea goddess suggested him to hide in the deepest trench of the sea, but the man came and found it. They did not know where to hide it so that man couldn’t reach the long-awaited and desired happiness. Then the god of the trees said:
─ I know the only place where men will never seek happiness ─
─ Where? ─They all asked.
─ In the very heart of every person, it will be safe there. That is why happiness travels within ourselves, not to be sought out. Some have found it, others have not.
And so that happened , just as I was told I tried to tell you. Tell it everywhere no to be forgotten.”
I invite you to participate in the contest A TREE A LEGEND. Do you know what to do? Send an original, unpublished story that recreates a legend about a magical tree. Encouragement and congratulations to who ever came to a tree and it whispered you a story.
