The Mysterious Whistle of the Mill 
Ghosts or Something More? 
| Stories for Children with Intrigue and Values
The wind blew gently in Grandma’s orchard, swaying the branches of the mulberry tree and slowly turning the blades of the old windmill. Everything seemed calm until, one afternoon, a strange sound began to be heard in the air.
«It was a strange and mysterious noise!» the windmill whistled in a disturbing way.
The children, who were playing near the well, fell silent. They looked at each other in amazement and a little fear.
«Did you hear that?» asked Mateo, with wide eyes.
«It sounds like a lament…» whispered Ana, hugging her brother.
«Maybe the windmill is haunted,» said Luis, with a trembling voice.
They ran to where Uncle Augustine was, who greeted them with a calm smile, sitting under the shade of the mulberry tree.
«Uncle Augustine, the windmill is whistling!» they all said at once.
The old peasant took off his hat, scratched his beard, and looked at the windmill with curiosity.
“That’s not a ghost thing, children,” he said calmly. “If the windmill sounds strange, there must be a reason. Let’s investigate.”
With a firm step, he walked towards the windmill, followed by the children who, although still afraid, trusted that their uncle would know what to do.
The sound grew louder as they approached. Uncle Augustine watched the slowly turning blades and then looked up at the top of the tower.
“It seems that the sound is coming from up there,” he said. “Matthew, bring me the ladder.”
Matthew ran to get it and, with the help of the others, they leaned it against the structure of the windmill. Uncle Augustine climbed carefully, holding firmly on each step.
When he reached the top, between one of the wooden cracks, something moved.
“Aha!” he exclaimed. “Here is our mysterious whistle.”
The children waited anxiously below.
“What is it, Uncle Augustine?” cried Anna.
Uncle Augustine gently pulled a small bundle out from between the windmill blades and held it in his hands. As they lowered it, the children saw with surprise that it was a small owl, with wide eyes and ruffled feathers.
“It’s an owl!” exclaimed Luis. “How did it get there?”
“It seems that it got trapped when it was looking for a safe place to sleep,” explained Uncle Augustine. “Its wings were in a bad position, and when the wind passed through the gap where it was trapped, the blades moved and the little owl moaned in pain and made the windmill whistle.
The children looked at the little owl tenderly. It was scared, but healthy.
“We have to cure it,” said Anna.
“That’s right,” nodded Uncle Augustine. “But first, we have to make sure it’s calm.”
They prepared a small straw nest in a box and gave it water. Now, the little owl seemed to be doing well. Then, when the sun began to set and the sky turned orange, they took the owl to the nearby forest.
“Come on, little friend,” Mateo whispered as he opened the box.
The owl blinked a couple of times and, with a soft flap of its wings, rose into the air until it landed on a branch. From there, it looked at the children and, as if it understood what they had done for it, it let out a soft hoot before disappearing into the trees.
The children felt happy and proud.
“Today we learned something very important,” said Uncle Augustine, adjusting his hat. “Sometimes, mysteries are not what they seem. And when we work together, we can solve any problem.”
The children smiled and looked at the old windmill, which now turned silently, moved by the wind, without any more mysterious whistles and noises.
And so, in Grandma’s garden, another day full of adventures and learning ended.
The bridge of friendship. After the Storm, the Bridge Was Lost.. How Did They Rebuild It?
Under the old mulberry tree, the children sat in a circle, ready to listen to a story. Uncle Augustine adjusted his hat, looked at the horizon, and began.
—I will tell you about the day when a storm reminded us that bridges not only unite paths, but also hearts.
That night, the wind roared hard and the rain beat down on the ground without stopping. When the sun came up, the villagers found that the old wooden bridge that crossed the river had disappeared.
Panchito, a restless boy from the village, ran to Grandma’s house:
—Grandma, the bridge has fallen down!
Grandma left her cup of coffee on the table and, with the calm that characterized her, walked to the river. When she arrived, she found the neighbors gathered, worried and arguing.
—Without the bridge, we cannot take the harvest to the market —said José the carpenter.
—I cannot deliver the bread —added Mrs. Tomasa.
—Our corn harvest is almost ready. How are we going to get it to the mill? We’ll have to wait for the town hall to rebuild it. sighed Don Ramón, the farmer.
Everyone had a different opinion, and the problem seemed bigger than the solution.
The grandmother, who had listened in silence, raised her voice sweetly:
—Listen, children. A bridge is not just wood and nails. It is what unites people. If we work together, we can rebuild it.
The children were the first to react. Lalo and Panchito began to collect branches and wood dragged by the storm. Mrs. Tomasa brought nails. Don Melquiades offered his tools. Don Ramón, seeing the enthusiasm, offered to reinforce the planks.
But there was still a problem: everyone wanted to do things their own way.
—It has to be high —insisted Don Ramón.
—No, no, better wide —said Don Melquiades.
The children, confused, looked at the grandmother.
“When everyone pulls in their own direction, we don’t move forward,” she said with a smile. “Listen to each other, work together and you will find the best solution.”
The adults remained silent. Even Don Melquiades and Don Ramón nodded.
And that was how the magic happened.
The neighbors stopped arguing and began to listen to each other. The children learned to use the hammer, the strongest ones carried logs, and the women prepared fresh water for the workers.
After several days of effort, the bridge was ready.
The grandmother was the first to cross it. She stopped in the center and, with a big smile, said:
“This is not just a wooden bridge. It is a bridge of friendship and solidarity.”
The children looked at the bridge with pride. It had been built with work, patience and, above all, with unity.
From that day on, every time someone crossed the bridge, they remembered Grandma’s lesson: the strongest and best things are not built with wood, but with minds and hearts that work together.
Uncle Augustine finished his story and saw the children smiling.
—So now you know, children. When you see a big problem, don’t get discouraged. Gather your people, listen to others, and build the bridge to the solution together.
The wind blew through the branches of the mulberry tree, as if it were also applauding that story.
From that day on, Grandma shines like a true pillar of wisdom and unity. 
A Magic Crystal in Danger… The Children and Uncle Augustín Must Protect It! 
Under the starry sky of the orchard, the old Chicago Air Motor windmill slowly turned in the night breeze. For generations, that windmill had hidden a secret that only Uncle Augustine knew: inside it, hidden behind a secret compartment, there was a special crystal that absorbed the light of the stars and reflected it in magical sparkles.
That night, while the children listened to Uncle Augustine tell stories under the mulberry tree, a strange sound was heard in the windmill. Ramiro, the most curious of the group, ran to see what was happening and saw shadows moving between the metal structure.
“Uncle Augustine! Someone is in the windmill!” Ramiro shouted urgently.
Uncle Augustine immediately stood up, adjusting his hat.
“Good heavens! It seems they have come for the crystal,” he murmured with a frown.
The children looked at him in astonishment.
“What crystal, uncle?” asked Anita.
“One that has the brightness of the stars and a special power. It is a very old treasure that has remained hidden so that it does not fall into the wrong hands,” answered Uncle Augustine.
Without wasting time, the group crept up to the mill. Among the shadows, they saw three men dressed in dark cloaks trying to force the wooden gate.
“We must stop them!” whispered Miguel.
“But we are just children…” said Carolina, worried.
Uncle Augustine smiled and crouched down to their height.
“When the stars shine together, they light up even the darkest night. You don’t have to be big or strong to do the right thing. We just have to work as a team.”
The children looked at each other and nodded with determination. Quickly, they came up with a plan: while some threw blackberries to distract the thieves, others loosened the ropes of an old flour sack on top of the mill.
“Now!” shouted Ramiro.
The criminals were covered in white flour and began to cough without being able to see anything. In the midst of the commotion, Uncle Augustine took a whistle out of his pocket and blew it loudly. Immediately, the dogs from the orchard came running and barking, causing the thieves to flee in terror.
When everything calmed down, the children entered the mill and saw the crystal hidden in its secret compartment. Its light shone brighter than ever.
“We did it!” exclaimed Carolina.
Uncle Augustine smiled proudly.
“Because we work together, like the stars in the sky.”
The children nodded, understanding that the true magic of the crystal was not only in its brightness, but in the union and shared effort.
From then on, every night they gathered under the mulberry tree, looking at the mill and remembering that, as long as they were together, nothing and no one could extinguish their light.

Something Strange Happened in the Enchanted Forest! 
A Children’s Story You Can’t Miss
In the heart of the enchanted forest, where the trees whispered secrets and the brook sang sweet melodies, peace and harmony reigned among the animals and the children. However, one day, a dark shadow appeared between the ancient trunks. His name was Sombrío, a cunning black fox with a piercing gaze and poisonous words.
Sombrío did not attack with claws or fangs, but with lies and rumors. With his honeyed voice, he whispered doubts in the ears of the animals: «The owl thinks he is wiser than everyone,» «The rabbits monopolize the best food,» «The deer do not want to share the clearing.» Soon, mistrust spread like poison ivy, and the joy of the forest began to fade.
The children, who used to play among the trees and learn from the animals, noticed the sadness in the air. It was then that they ran to find Uncle Augustine, the old storyteller who always had a solution for everything.
Sitting under his mulberry tree, Uncle Augustine listened to them attentively and stroked his mustache thoughtfully. «When someone sows discord, you have to pull out the root of the problem without using violence,» he said in his calm voice. «We are going to give back to the forest what Sombrío has stolen from it: trust and friendship.»
With cunning, the children came up with a plan. They organized a big meeting in the clearing and, one by one, each animal shared what they had heard. It was then that they realized that Sombrío had deceived them all. With laughter and hugs, they understood that unity was stronger than any lie.
Sombrío, seeing that his plan was failing, tried to sow more doubts, but no one believed him. Unmasked, the black fox understood that in a forest where truth reigned, his tricks had no power. Without enemies or followers, he left with his tail between his legs.
The forest regained its joy, and the children learned a valuable lesson: words can build or destroy, and when used wisely, they can overcome even the deepest darkness.
Uncle Augustine smiled with satisfaction and, with his sprig of blackberries in his mouth, said: «And so, boys, harmony returned to our beloved enchanted forest.»

Uncle Augustine and the Magic Blackberries | A Story for Children full of Values and Hope 
In Grandma��s orchard, under the old blackberry tree, Uncle Augustine sat on his bench as the village children gathered around him. It was a special summer night, with the full moon lighting up the sky and the blackberries shining like little stars. Uncle Augustine, with his straight-brimmed hat and his sprig of wheat in his mouth, began to tell a story that he said few knew.
“A long time ago, these magical blackberries not only glowed at night, but they also had a special purpose. Once, when the forest was even denser and the paths were difficult to navigate, a group of children got lost while looking for wild flowers for a festival.”
The children watched him in fascination as he continued. “When night fell, darkness enveloped them and they began to feel afraid. But then, something wonderful happened. The blackberries on the old tree began to break off and float in the air like little lights. They moved slowly, lighting the way and guiding the children back to the orchard, where their families were anxiously waiting for them.”
Uncle Augustine paused, looking at the children with a smile. “And do you know why the blackberries helped them? Because they never gave up. As they walked through the darkness, they stuck together, sang for encouragement, and trusted that they would find their way.”
One of the children asked excitedly, “Can the blackberries still do that, Uncle Augustine?”
Uncle Augustine smiled his classic warm smile. “Only if there is someone with a pure heart who truly needs it. The magical blackberries not only lead the way in the darkness, but they also remind us of the importance of hope and helping each other. When we are lost, physically or emotionally, there is always a light that can guide us. Often, that light is within ourselves.”
The children looked at the tree in wonder, as if they expected the berries to start glowing at that very moment. And even though they didn’t, something special happened: a gentle breeze moved the branches of the tree, as if the tree itself approved of Uncle Augustine’s story.
“And now, boys,” said Uncle Augustine as he stood up, “it’s time for you to go back to your homes. Don’t forget that hope and unity are the brightest lights you can have in your lives.”
With one last look at the berry tree, the children said goodbye, promising to come back soon for another story.

Stories of Uncle Augustine for Children | The Mill and the Four Winds 
It was a quiet afternoon in Grandma��s orchard, with the sun caressing the leaves of the mulberry tree. Under its shade, the children gathered around Uncle Augustine, who was clearing his wheat straw while looking at the Chicago Air Motor windmill. It, as always, spun gracefully to the rhythm of the wind. But that afternoon, something special happened.
The windmill began to spin faster than usual, and with each change of direction, its blades emitted a soft whisper. “Can you hear it?” Uncle Augustine asked with a smile. “Today the windmill wants to tell us stories from the four winds.”
The children, intrigued, came closer, attentive to their uncle’s words. “Every wind brings with it a story, and if we pay attention, we can learn from them.”
The North Wind: The Legend of Courage.
The first turn brought the north wind, whose voice was strong and firm. The mill told the story of a young polar bear named Arctic, who had to cross an ice desert to save his family trapped in a frozen cave. He bravely faced storms and dangers, learning that courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to move forward despite it.
The South Wind: The Tale of Love.
The windmill turned again, and this time it was the south wind who spoke in a warm and melodious tone. It was the story of a hummingbird named Lila who flew tirelessly among flowers to find the medicine that would save her sick companion. Her love and dedication showed that true love lies in selfless acts.
The East Wind: The Fable of Wisdom.
When the east wind took over, his voice was calm and thoughtful. He told the fable of an old owl named Orion, who taught the animals of the forest to work together to solve a problem that none could face alone. The children learned that wisdom is not found in knowing everything, but in knowing how to listen and collaborate.
The West Wind: The Adventure of Perseverance.
Finally, the windmill turned west, and its whisper vibrated with energy. The wind told the story of a little fox named Zephyr, who crossed mountains and valleys to find a home for his family. Despite the obstacles, he never gave up, showing that perseverance is the key to success.
When the windmill stopped turning, Uncle Augustine looked at the children. “Each wind has brought us an important lesson: courage, love, wisdom and perseverance. These are stories that we should keep in our hearts.”
Inspired, the children looked at the windmill with new eyes, grateful for the stories that the wind had brought.
“I hope you enjoyed this story, my beloved children,” said Uncle Augustine with a smile. “If you liked it, don’t forget to leave a ‘Like’, subscribe to the channel and hit the bell so you don’t miss any of our upcoming adventures. See you in the next story under the mulberry tree!”
Uncle Agustín and The Mulberry Tree of Secrets 
| Children’s Educational Story.
In the golden light of dawn, the village children gathered near the black mulberry tree in Grandma’s orchard. It was a magical place, not only for the sweet blackberries it offered, but for the mysterious whispers its branches made when the wind blew. That morning, Uncle Augustine, with his straight-brimmed hat and the wheat straw between his teeth, was waiting for them under the shade of the tree.
“Did you know that this is not an ordinary mulberry tree?” said Uncle Augustine, his soft but firm voice attracting all the children’s attention.
“What’s so special about it?” asked Sofia, a girl with big, curious eyes.
Uncle Augustine leaned toward them, his white mustache shining in the sunlight.
“This tree holds ancient secrets, stories of the guardians of the forest. But it only reveals them to those with a pure heart and who are willing to listen with their soul, not just their ears.
Intrigued, the children sat in a circle around the tree. Uncle Augustine placed his calloused hand on the trunk of the mulberry tree and whispered a few words in a low voice. The leaves began to move gently, even though there was no wind. Suddenly, a soft, melodious voice emerged from the tree.
“Once upon a time, many years ago, there was a guardian named Ramiro, a brave and honest badger,” the voice narrated. The children exchanged excited glances as the story came to life. “Ramiro protected the forest with the help of his friends, a family of fireflies that illuminated the dark paths. One day, a hunter came to the forest with bad intentions. Ramiro, with his cunning and courage, prevented the hunter from causing harm, reminding him that nature is not an enemy, but a home.
“And how did he do it?” interrupted Thomas, his eyes shining with excitement.
Uncle Augustine smiled and pointed to a blackberry that was beginning to glow on the tree.
“Every lesson learned makes a blackberry glow, and so the tree preserves the memories,” he said. “Ramiro showed the hunter the beauty of the forest, from the fireflies dancing in the night to the crystal-clear rivers. When the hunter understood, he left his bow and arrows and left in peace.
The children listened attentively, reflecting on the story. When it was over, the tree whispered again, but this time the leaves seemed to laugh, as if celebrating the connection created between the children and the ancient guardians of the forest.
“Do you think we can also be guardians of the forest, uncle?” asked Andres, with a shining blackberry in his hand.
Uncle Augustine crouched down to their height, his gaze warm and firm.
“Of course, Andres. Being a guardian doesn’t mean being big or strong. It means being honest, caring for others, and protecting what you love, like Ramiro did.”
With a smile, the children promised to take care of the forest and respect its secrets. As they walked away from the tree, a gentle wind blew through the branches, as if to thank them for their commitment.
Uncle Augustine stood up, adjusting his hat and saying goodbye with a friendly gesture.
—Thank you for joining us today. If you liked this story, don’t forget to leave a «Like,» subscribe to the channel, and hit the bell so you don’t miss any of our adventures. See you in the next story, under this magical tree!
And with that last whisper of the wind, the leaves of the tree moved once more, bidding the children farewell with their mysterious dance.
The Tree of Questions 
| Uncle Augustine’s Children’s Story about Friendship and Respect
In the heart of Grandma’s orchard, under the shade of the towering blackberry tree, a group of children gathered every afternoon to listen to Uncle Augustine’s stories. The tree, always laden with sweet blackberries, was a special place. But one day, something extraordinary happened: the leaves began to rustle.
At first it was a soft murmur that only the most attentive could notice. But soon, everyone clearly heard the words: «What is true friendship?», «What does respect mean?», «Why is it important to take care of nature?» The children, surprised, looked at Uncle Augustine, who, with a knowing smile, explained to them that the tree was testing their wisdom.
«This tree is magical,» said Uncle Augustine as he adjusted his straight-brimmed hat. «Every time you answer one of its questions correctly, a new blackberry will bloom, as a gift for your effort and honesty.»
Intrigued, the children accepted the challenge. First, Sofia, the youngest of the group, answered: «True friendship is helping others without expecting anything in return.» Immediately, a bright blackberry appeared among the leaves, as if the tree were applauding her answer.
Then, Thomas, with his hands full of dirt from having been playing near the well, dared to answer the next question: «Respect is treating everyone as you would like to be treated.» Instantly, another blackberry blossomed, larger and brighter than the previous one.
Each child took a turn, reflecting on the tree’s questions. They talked about the importance of sharing, patience, and the need to take care of their environment. With each correct answer, the tree filled with blackberries, until all its foliage looked like a starry sky of small, shiny black fruits.
Uncle Augustine watched them with pride. «Did you notice?,» he said at the end, «the tree has taught us that the best answers are not in books, but in our hearts and in how we live our lives.»
As the sun began to set behind the mountains, the children, satisfied and happy, picked berries to share with their families. Before saying goodbye, they thanked Uncle Augustine and promised to return the next day to hear more stories and learn from the tree’s questions.
«Thank you for joining us in this wonderful story under the berry tree,» Uncle Augustine said with a smile as the windmill turned gently in the background. «If you enjoyed this story, don’t forget to subscribe to the channel, leave a ‘Like’ and ring the bell to receive notifications of our upcoming stories.

A Treasure in the Windmill | Uncle Augustin’s Children’s Stories
In Grandma’s quiet orchard, the Chicago Air Motor windmill spun slowly, driven by the breeze. One afternoon, while Uncle Augustine was fixing some blades, a sudden storm blew up. The children, sheltered under the mulberry tree, watched with curiosity as the wind swirled leaves and branches around the windmill.
Suddenly, something unusual happened: an old parchment got caught between the blades. Uncle Augustine, always intrepid, carefully retrieved it. «Look at this, children!» he exclaimed, holding the parchment out in front of the children. It was an old map, with drawings of trees, paths, and an «X» marked in the center of the orchard.
«This windmill always has surprises in store,» Uncle Augustine said with a mischievous grin. «Looks like we’re on a mission.» Without a second thought, the children—Ana, Diego, and Sofi—offered to help. Armed with flashlights, shovels, and the map, the group began exploring.
The first clue led them to the old apple tree by the well. “Look, there’s a symbol here that matches the map,” Diego pointed out excitedly. They dug enthusiastically, but found only a box full of smooth, colorful stones. “Maybe it’s a sign to keep looking,” suggested Ana, ever the optimist.
Guided by the map, they reached the large rose bush in the orchard. There, among the thorny branches, Sofi discovered a rusty key. “This must open something,” she said determinedly. The map indicated one last destination: the shed where Uncle Augustine kept his tools.
Inside the shed, they found a small, dusty chest. “The key fits!” Sofi shouted as Diego helped turn it. Opening it, they found no gold or jewelry, but a handful of old items: family photos, wooden toys, and a letter written by Grandpa Don Manuel.
The letter read: “The real treasure is not what you find, but who you share it with. These memories are a little piece of our stories together.”
The children looked at Uncle Augustine, excited. «This is the best treasure of all,» said Anna. «We had so much fun searching together.»
Uncle Augustine, touched, hugged them. «Children, you have learned something important today. Imagination and teamwork are the most valuable treasures there are.»
As evening fell, the children carefully packed the souvenirs away in the shed and gathered under the mulberry tree. Uncle Augustine promised that the next adventure would be just as exciting, as he offered them fresh mulberries as a reward.

Star Trek | Uncle Augustine’s 
Interstellar Train and Space Creatures 
| Children’s Story
It was a quiet night in Grandma��s orchard. The children gathered under the blackberry tree, illuminated by Uncle Augustine’s lantern. “Tell us another story, Uncle Augustine!” they asked excitedly. He adjusted his hat, took a sprig of blackberries and with a smile, began: “Have I told you about the Interstellar train? It is more than a train, it is a wonder of the universe.”
According to his story, the Interstellar train, called The Celestial Traveler, appeared only under clear skies. Its locomotive shone like a mirror, reflecting the stars, and from its chimney came not smoke, but star dust that illuminated the night sky. That night, Uncle Augustine invited the children on a unique trip. “Ready to take off?” he asked, with a mysterious wink.
As they boarded the Interstellar train, the children were amazed. The cars had giant windows that allowed them to see the stars up close. Magic seats fitted each passenger perfectly, and a machine produced space candy with surprising flavors. “Welcome to the universe,” announced Uncle Augustine as the train took off with a soft whistle.
The first stop was the Crystal Galaxy, where they encountered the Lumiontes, luminous creatures that floated like jellyfish in space. They changed color according to their emotions and communicated through soft melodies that resonated in the children’s minds. The Lumiontes showed how they cared for their crystals, teaching that even in space, order and care were essential to maintaining beauty.
Then, the Interstellar train took them to the Planet of the Dust Giants, inhabited by enormous creatures made of star sand. The giants explained how, despite their size, they lived in harmony with their environment. One of them, named Solum, told a story about how their planet almost disappeared due to the abuse of resources, and how they learned to recycle and protect their home.
As they traveled, the children noticed something strange: several planets that once shone brightly were now dull and lifeless. Uncle Augustine, with his wise gaze, explained to them that these planets were examples of what happened when you didn’t take care of the place where you lived. “Our Earth could be one of them if we don’t take care of it,” he said seriously.
Upon returning to the orchard, the children reflected on everything they had learned. They decided to plant trees, pick up trash, and tell others about the importance of taking care of the planet. “The Earth is our home, and we don’t have another train to take us to a new place,” Uncle Augustine reminded them with a smile.
That night, as they said goodbye, the children looked at the stars with new eyes. They now understood that every action, no matter how small, could make a big difference in the universe.
