Uncle Agustin’s tales
Stories of Uncle Augustine for Children 🌟| The Mill and the Four Winds 🌬️
It was a quiet afternoon in Grandmas 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!”
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.
