«When you are adults 
| A Tale of Uncle Augustine about the Future»
The sun was slowly beginning to set behind the hills, tinting the sky in shades of gold, orange, and pink. The windmill turned peacefully, as if dancing in the breeze. Under the blackberry tree, Uncle Augustine settled into his wooden chair, his hat straight and a sprig of blackberry between his lips. The children, as usual, sat around him, knowing a special story was coming.
«Uncle Augustine,» Sofia asked, «what will the world be like when we grow up?»
The old man smiled tenderly. He looked up at the sunset-lit sky and adjusted his suspenders.
«That’s a good question,» he said. «The world is going to be different. You’ll have challenges we can barely imagine. But you’ll also have the opportunity to do wonderful things.»
The children leaned a little closer, attentive.
«For example,» he continued, «water will be scarcer.» In some places, every drop will be precious. You’ll … Leer Más
“Why Is the World the Way It Is? 
| A Truth Children Can Understand”
The afternoon fell slowly over Grandma Maria’s garden. The windmill turned slowly, pushed by a gentle breeze that seemed to bring murmurs from far, far away. Under the blackberry tree, like every evening, Uncle Augustine sat on his wooden bench with the blackberry sprig in his mouth. Beside him, Grandma knitted patiently, her apron stained with the day’s harvest.
The children came running. Tomas, Sofia, and Mateo’s cheeks were flushed from playing, but something in their eyes told them they had come with questions bigger than the garden.
“Uncle Augustine,” Sofia said, still agitated, “at school the teacher talked about the world’s problems.” About the water, the climate, the disappearing animals… is all of this really happening?
The old man looked up at the sky, which was already beginning to fill with stars, and sighed.
«Yes. It’s happening… and you’re going to see it with your own eyes. … Leer Más
The Invisible Journey 
| A Tale of Uncle Augustine to Understand the Universe with Calm and Faith
On a peaceful night, under a starry sky, the children gathered with Uncle Augustine and Grandma under the blackberry tree, next to the old Chicago Air Motor mill. The wind was gentle, and the full moon illuminated everything with a serene, silvery light.
«Uncle Augustine,» said Tomas, pointing to the sky. «Is it true that we’re moving, even though everything seems still?»
Uncle Augustine smiled, like someone who had been waiting for that question for many years.
«Boy, we’re not just moving. We’re traveling at a speed you can’t even imagine!» He adjusted his hat. This Earth spins on its axis at more than 1,600 kilometers per hour. And at the same time, it revolves around the Sun at more than 100,000. And that’s not all: our Sun, with all its planets, also revolves around the galaxy! And the galaxy also travels through the universe.»
The children’s eyes widened. … Leer Más
El Viaje Invisible | Un Cuento del Tío Agustín para Entender el Universo con Calma y Fe
En una noche tranquila, bajo un cielo estrellado, los niños se reunieron con el Tío Agustín y la Abuela bajo el árbol de moras negras, junto al viejo molino Chicago Air Motor. El viento era suave, y la luna llena iluminaba todo con una luz plateada y serena.
—Tío Agustín, dijo Tomás, señalando el cielo. ¿Es cierto que estamos moviéndonos, aunque parezca que todo está quieto?
Tío Agustín sonrió, como quien ha estado esperando esa pregunta durante muchos años.
—Muchacho, no solo nos movemos. ¡Viajamos a una velocidad que ni te imaginas!, y se acomodó el sombrero. Esta Tierra gira sobre sí misma a más de mil seiscientos kilómetros por hora. Y al mismo tiempo, da vueltas alrededor del Sol a más de cien mil. Y eso no es todo, nuestro Sol, con todos sus planetas, ¡también gira alrededor de la galaxia! Y la galaxia, también viaja por el … Leer Más
