Guardo spesso il cielo Ma l’ amicizia che provo non ha limiti. THE SKY IS YOUR FRIEND The sky is blue as the sea When I se it I can sing. In the sky white clouds travel Walking, walking, they are tired. If you look at the sky with your friend It is all another thing He likes taking you a picture We joke, we scream and we laugh And you feel, your ugly thoughts go away I often look at the sky But the friendship I feel It is without limits.

34. Mystery on Platform 18Chain storywritten by pupils from Norway, Hungary, Germany, England, Italy and Holland

35. Mystery on Platform 18 It had been one of those mornings. The rain was lashing down with a chill wind sweeping through the streets. Azza had been up in plenty of time to meet the 12.20 from Termini Roma. Unfortunately, the taxi had arrived several minutes late and then they were stuck in heavy traffic: the meter ticking and the horns blasting and the hands of the clock slowly creeping round to the designated time. On eventually arriving at the station Azza found herself at a complete loss. She hated stations at the best of times and today was no exception. Being a stranger in a strange city and finding herself in one of the largest and busiest stations imaginable and running late did nothing to help her keep calm and with her mind on the task. She spun round several times in blind panic. She had been reading the platform signs carefully but the one that hung over what she guessed to be platform 18 did not read so. A chill overhung in the air and her blood chilled. The thought of a delayed or even non-existent end to her task did not fill her with excitement, after all Rome could ghastly at the best of times .

36. ‘Where could it be?’- an annoying question at such a frustrating time. The noise and the volume of people were not helping her stay calm. The train was about to leave and her mission would be incomplete. Just then a strange character wandered towards her through the mist that was now swirling around the platform where she found herself.With a strange feeling she evaded backwards. Azza felt excited and uncertain abouther situation. Then she recognized the outline of the figure hurrying towards her. It seemed to carry a big suitcase. But no, it wasn’t an ordinary case, but a pear-shaped, bulbous box. As the figure came nearer, Azza saw a boy, not much older than herself, coming out of the fog. “Hello, nice to meet you. I’m looking for this train. Can you help me?” the boy said breathlessly and showed Azza his lemon-yellow ticket. The girl took a closer look at the ticket and was pretty surprised. There was neither any destination nor the number of the train on it. Only “PLATFORM 18” and the time of departure “12:20” were printed there in huge capital letters. It was the same as Azza’s ticket, except hers was red. “This is very strange,” she thought and compared the tickets again. The girl shrugged her shoulders helplessly, raised her eyebrows and told the boy, that she wanted to leave from platform 18, too. She also reminded him, that they were quite late. Furthermore she whispered: “I’m on a very important and top secret mission!” She silently repeated the instructions from the e-mail she had received: Go to platform 18, enter the train in time and on seat number 18 you will find … What does that mean? Something will happen on seat number 18. That’s like mathematics: calculating with an unknown number. Maybe there will be a fairy sitting on seat number 18 or a tiny parcel will lie under it. Or a cat will even be crying and I will be supposed to save it… Why does the mail come to an end at the most thrilling moment? Azza pulled up the collar of her jacket because she felt that mysterious chilling wind again. In the meantime, she had found out that her opposite’s name was Simon. He was twelve years old and loved to play the cello. Azza thought by herself: “Wow! Other boys are playing football, but Simon is playing the cello patiently.” She sadly remembered her pitiful attempt to play the flute last year. Suddenly a voice from the loudspeaker informed: “Dear passengers! The train on platform 18, departure time 12:20, will be 18 minutes late.”

37. “So we have plenty of time to find our platform,” Azza said relievedly and had a look at the huge cello-box and her own bag. The children went on together. On their way Simon told Azza about his music enthusiastically and that he would like to play for a big audience. But his biggest dream would be to find his lost sister, Evelyn. Azza asked: ”What happened to her?” ”She was going to take a train from platform 18, just like you and me, but she disappered inexplicably.” ”One more mystery about platform 18…” ” What do you mean?”, Simon asked. ”Nothing…”, Azza said, and she started to cry, but very quietly so that Simon could not hear her. Suddenly, a man came out of the mist ”Your tickets, please”, he whispered. ”Who are you?” asked Simon. ”My name is Someone.” ”You”, he said and pointed at Azza. ”You are looking for your sister” ”And you”, he said, pointing at Simon. ”Are looking for your sister as well. Now give me your tickets.” Azza and Simon looked at each other, and gave their tickets to Someone. ”Hum. Well, have a wonderful journey.” He laughed a spine chillingly evil laugh, and ran back into the mist. “But how do we get to platform 18?!” Azza shouted after him. Someone did not answer her. He was already gone. ”Are you also looking for your sister?”, Simon asked Azza. “Yes, I am. I miss my big sister so much! Poor Emma. She was kidnapped at platform 18. I’ve always wondered how she ended up here on this platform.” “Maybe she…” Simon was interrupted by a message from a nearby loudspeaker: “The train from

38. Termini Roma is now entering on platform 18” Someone appeared beside Azza, smiling in a sinister kind of way, and said: “Welcome on board. Your sisters are waiting for you”. And a few seconds later, before they knew what was happening, they were on board on a train. “Emma!” Azza shouted, and Simon cried ”Evelyn!” The two young girls sat in purple seats inside the train, looking out of the window. They were very still and didn’t answer their siblings’ greetings. ”Emma!” Azza shouted again, and gave her sister a big hug. Emma was as cold as stone, and she continued looking out of the window. And in the next second Azza saw that Emma wasn’t older than her self! She was still the same age as when she disappeared all those years ago. “Simon, they’re dead, oh, Simon! Emma, don’t be dead, NO!” Azza cried. She fell down on the floor, and cold tears flowed down her cheeks. Simon felt terrible, but could not cry. Something was wrong here… He slumped down in one of the seats…but immediately leapt up again. In the seat there was a note:it read: “You children are so predictable. You are now trapped on this train. Your sisters are not dead but simply in a deep sleep. To release them from my clever little arrangement you will have to find my ruby gemstone, which is hidden in this train. SIMPLE! If you find ir, you will all leave, if you don’t you may face a terrible consequence! You have until sundown tomorrow. Good Luck – you’ll need it! From Someone…” The two looked at each other in astonishment. Azza announced: “We’d betta get going!” They raced up and down the aisles trying to think where something so precious could be hidden. Then Simon had an idea. “Maybe the letter was just a threat, maybe we’re doing it all for nothing, maybe we could just grab Evelyn and Emma and leave!” They dashed towards the door, dragging their motionless sisters with them. Azza opened the door. All they could see were shapes flashing past and they could hear the laugh, identical to someone’s that they had heard earlier… They turn around but they saw nothing. They keep hearing the strange laugh. It seems that the sound is coming closer but at the same time it seems to turn away. In the pockets of Emma and Evelyn they find a strange white powder and also they find a piece of paper. Azza and Simon read the paper and it says: “Throw the white powder through the train and I will be visible for you”.

39. Azza and Simon throw the white powder and slowly a man is becoming visible. At the same time Emma and Evelyn are slowly waking up. Azza and Simon are shouting against the two girls to get them to wake up sooner, but they stay a little bit slow. Emma and Evelyn look to afraid to talk and they are just sitting there being very afraid. Someone walks towards Simon, touches him and Simon is slowly falling asleep. Azza is now very afraid and starts to cry at the same time Someone vanishes again. After 18 minutes Simon is waking up . Simon tells him that in his sleep he saw the kidnapping of Emma and Evelyn by Someone. The four children are now hugging each other and try to find a way out. They run through the train but they can’t find a door anymore. Then a strange fog is appearing in the train. It starts to get cold and then suddenly they hear a soft laughter. The children start to run faster, but the train seems to be endlessly. The laughter is becoming louder and louder. Their ears are about to get very painful and at a moment when they think their ears are going to explode, Someone is standing before them. He smiles very mean and says: “ you can ‘t run away from this train if you don’ t find my ruby gemstone!! I already told you!! You must find my ruby gemstone!!” The four children looked each other and decided to listen to Mr Someone and made him a promise to find his gemstone: Azza and Emma went to their right and Simon and Evelyn went to their left. Both groups looked very carefully all over the train..but nothing!! After one hour of searching they met again at seat 18, they looked out the window and sow a beautiful landscape, a very green field with red spot made by lots and lots of poppies and suddenly the train speaker announced: “we are now approaching Florence station –Santa Maria Novella-“. The four children had a big question mark on their faces: “what we should do?” says Azza “shall we try to escape as soon the door will be open??”, Simon answered: “and what about the promise we made to Mr Someone?” While they were thinking, the doors opened and a group of foreigner teachers and pupils got into the train. The four children got distract from the way how the new passengers were speaking… all in English.. more or less, but with funny accents. Azza turned to a blond Italian female teacher with large smile on her face and. they ran to her happily, then Azza asked where they were going and the teacher with blond hair answered that they were travelling to a mysterious place in Hungary. „I’ve got another question” said Azza „Who’s that girl sitting so sadly in the train?” „ She’s a Hungarian girl, who’s travelling home, but nobody knows why she must stay here for five more days”. Azza’s gone and told the others what he’d found out. It made Simon

40. very conscious and he went towards the girl, then the others followed him and they also asked the girl why she was so sad. The girl answered and suddenly raised her head and said. „There isn’t enough time.” „Time for what?” asked the others. „To find the ruby gemstone” answered the girl. The four children looked at each other „The stone.” Suddenly there was a cloud of fume. After it’s gone, Someone was standing where the teacher was standing and vigorously laughing, then disappeared again. Instead of him there was an envelope. Simon rushed to Azza and they wanted to open it together. Azza said „It’s better if you open it, I’m frightened.” Simon opened the letter and found a picture there, in which he could see the 18th platform of the Western Railway Station in Hungary and someone’s shadow, who was holding the ruby gemstone in his hands. Let’s go to Hungary!!! Then door closed and they could hear a silent laugh and the train left, everybody took their seats. Simon stood on a seat and exclaimed “Help me to find Someone’s ruby gemstone, because without it we cannot get off the train.”. Everybody went searching the gemstone. Whilst that the four children went to see who was driving the train. In the cabin there was strong fog, they could not see anything. It covered everything. The foreign children were screaming in the train, then Someone appeared again, the fog’ gone, then he said “Now only a few hours left to find my gemstone” and suddenly disappeared. After a few hours of travelling and searching the train stopped, the doors opened and they have noticed they were on the 18th platform, in Hungary. They’ve arrived. Somebody appeared again and said “You’ve done your job, you reached Hungary” and handed over the ruby stone. However instead the shadow of him a face of an old man in mediaeval clothes of a prayer started to figure out…
