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.

The Mill of Forgotten Heroes | Stories to Dream | Fantasy and Life Lessons
Under the blackberry tree in Grandma’s orchard, Uncle Augustine settled into his weathered wooden chair, his straight-brimmed hat strapped on. Two boys and three girls, eyes bright with curiosity, gathered around him as the last rays of the sun tinted the sky orange and purple. The Chicago Air Motor windmill turned slowly in the background, illuminated by the soft light of dusk.
«You know,» Uncle Augustine said, stroking his mustache, «this windmill isn’t like the others. There are afternoons like this when, if you listen carefully, you can hear it whisper stories.»
The children exchanged surprised glances. «Stories?» asked Anita, hugging her sketchbook.
Uncle Augustine nodded. «A long time ago, this windmill witnessed forgotten heroes, people who made a difference with acts of bravery and solidarity. And when the wind is right, it tells us their stories.»
That afternoon, the wind began to blow softly, turning the windmill’s blades. A melodious murmur filled the air. The children fell silent as the windmill’s words came to life.
The first story was about Maria, a young shepherdess who saved her village from a drought by sharing her water with everyone, even when she barely had any for herself. As Uncle Augustine translated the windmill’s whispers, the children imagined Maria walking under the scorching sun with her clay jug, bringing hope to each house.
The windmill continued to turn, revealing the story of Don Julian, an old carpenter who had rebuilt a broken bridge so the villagers could cross a raging river. With each word, images came to life in the little ones’ minds, filling them with admiration for the courage and goodness of these heroes.
«Every hero had something in common,» Uncle Augustine said as the windmill stopped, letting silence fill the orchard. «They weren’t strong or powerful, but they had big hearts and a huge desire to help others.»
The children reflected in silence, inspired by the stories from the windmill. The first stars were beginning to appear in the sky when Uncle Augustine stood up and with a smile, said: «For today, the windmill has spoken. If you want to hear more stories, come back soon. But remember, each of you can be a hero in your own way. You just need to listen to your heart and act with kindness.»
Before saying goodbye, Uncle Augustine added with a wink: «Don’t forget to leave a ‘Like’ for this story, subscribe to the channel and ring the bell so YouTube will notify you when we upload a new adventure. Until next time, little heroes!»
With laughter and thanks, the children dispersed, carrying with them the promise to return under the mulberry tree, where the whispering windmill and Uncle Augustine were waiting for them with new stories.
The Cloud That Was Lost 🌥️ | A Children’s Story with a Lesson on Freedom and Home 🏡✨
Under the mulberry tree, Uncle Augustine lit his story pipe, as the children called it, although this time it had only a wheat straw instead of smoke. “Have you ever heard of the cloud that got lost?” he began in a deep voice, capturing the attention of the little ones.
One day, a mischievous cloud, tired of floating in the endless sky, looked down and saw Grandma’s orchard full of colors and life. “What a beautiful place!” he thought, and decided to go down to explore. Little by little, he descended until he was trapped in the blades of the windmill. The windmill, surprised, began to spin hard, but he was unable to free her.
When the children in the orchard noticed what was happening, they ran to the windmill. “Cloud, cloud! What are you doing here?” asked Lucia, the bravest. The cloud, with a soft and somewhat embarrassed voice, answered: “I was tired of traveling and wanted to rest. But now I don’t know how to get back to the sky.”
Worried about the cloud, the children sought out Uncle Augustine, who knew the stories of the winds. “We must call upon the North Wind,” he said, “he is the only one strong and wise enough to help.”
With a little ingenuity, the children began to sing a special tune that Uncle Augustine taught them. Its notes rose like a magical whisper until the wind responded. It appeared in a gentle but majestic whirlwind, stirring the leaves of the orchard.
“Little cloud, your home is in the sky,” said the North Wind in a deep voice. “Why did you leave your place?”
“I wanted something different,” the cloud admitted, “but I didn’t know I would miss my place among the other clouds so much.”
With a firm but gentle blow, the North Wind unhooked the cloud from the windmill and lifted it back into the sky. Before leaving, the cloud thanked the children and the wind. “I will never forget this orchard or the lesson I learned. The sky is my home, but I will always carry this place in my heart.”
That night, under the starlight, the children looked up at the sky and assured that the cloud, now back among the others, winked at them.
Uncle Augustine, with a smile and his wheat sprig in his mouth, concluded: “Remember, little ones, that we all have a special place in this world. Learning to value it is part of our adventure.”
