Mehmet Akif Ersoy Primary School/ TURKEY

Once upon a time, in the future, in the year 2030. It was a sunny and rainy Wednesday. It was hot. Every day was nice and everything was fine. The school was great. Life was great.

In a town called Toy town there was a shop, a swimming pool with 30 water toboggans and a café.

There was a beautiful park and a tiny restaurant and a factory and a cake shop and an ice cream shop too. Lots of toys people walked around.

One of them was called Robomutant. He was grey, iron with multi colour stripes. He could  speak, dance and charge itself by electricity and he liked to give orders. He lived in a factory.

Hand in hand he came with Eladuni.

Eladuni was a cone shape girl. He had 2 big eyes, a big donut on her waist and a pink head. She was sweet and nice. She lived in a cake shop. She liked pink. She liked to wear a hat on her head.

There came also Tracos. Tracos was a smiling and cheerful guy.

Tracos lived in a restaurant under the counter, and sometimes lived under the tables. He could fly. He was big, round and flat. He had two legs and two big eyes.

Those three came together.

They were friends. They lived in the same town. They had a magic power. They liked to spend time together and they liked to go to the park together.

But as Eladuni liked winter and water, sea and sun. Tracos hated it. He liked hot,  whereas Robomutant frightened rain.

That day they met in the park on their favourite bench.

They were feeding the little birds and they started playing together. Suddenly, they saw Unimouse for the first time. He was another toy person from the village, half mouse and half unicorn. He was alone up on the sledge so they decided to approached him. But in that exact moment, Unimouse started shouting. They ran to ask him what was the problem but it started raining and Robomutant started trembling as he was scared about the rain. His friends told him to go under a tree to be safe. They didn’t have the time to approach to Unimouse, who continued shouting.

• What’s the problem? - asked Tracos from the distance.
• Help me, please! - answered Unimouse.

Then, he slid down the sledge but there was a puddle on the bottom and he disappeared. 

• Oh, no! Where’s Unimouse? - asked Eladuni.
• The puddle was a doorway! - answered Robomutant.
• How can we help him? - said Tracos.

They started planning how they could find Unimouse. Then, Robomutant confessed that he had a super power. He can teleport himself with fire on their feet. But it was a really rainy and stormy day, he couldn’t go out from the tree. Besides they didn’t know where to go, maybe to the Moon?

The three friends waited until it stopped raining to allow Robomutant to come out from under the tree.

Unimouse kept screaming so Robomutant put his power into practice: he embraces his companions and suddenly found himself beyond the entrance door of the puddle.

They found themselves in the garden of a strange little house. Near a great oak there was a very nice and coloured mushroom family: the mother and her son. They seemed very sad because of their loneliness. There weren’t any other vegetables friends in the garden and they would like to go inside the house to know the people living there. Robomutant invited them to enter with them, but what an ugly surprise: the house contained all the toys broken by the children when they get nervous.

“We are looking for Unimouse”, said Robomutant to the toy pieces.

“Why are you all here, dear toys?” asked Eladuni.

“Because the children first play with us and then get tired of us and destroy us” - answered a Barbie without a leg and without an arm.

Tracos said to his friends, "Let's try to get closer and ask if they saw our friend Unimouse!"

Mother Mushroom squeezed the mushroom child because it was all so sad there.

"Come on, honey! Don't look! This is a bad scene! I didn't think children could get to do this!”

As they approached they heard someone's footsteps in the next room: it was Unimouse who was trying to collect the pieces of a transformer which had been abandoned and it was headless and armless. It was on an old  armchair and asked for help.

Tracos said enthusiastically: - Friends, would you do the same? The other toys need our help!”

Mother Mushroom immediately started the good job.

While all the friends, with calm and diligence, were trying to fix the children's toys, footsteps were heard again from afar. The broken pieces began to tremble with fear.

"It's them!" said the ear of a stuffed animal in tears.

"Yes, it's true: I recognize the voices", answered the head of a doll with blond hair.

Tracos, Eladuni, Frungos, Robomutant and Unimouse hid in terror behind the old armchair, while the mushrooms, which were small, hid inside a toy car.

Finally, they saw them: it was the children who had broken the toys.

Tracos looked at his friends, took them by  hands and together had the courage to face them.

"Why did you destroy all these toys?" asked little Eladuni.

"Because the games are always the same and after a while they become boring for us!" replied a child arrogantly.

"It's true! We always want new toys! "said the other boy.

The friends were silent for a while, but they were very annoyed by the children’s attitude. Even Robomutant, who was always calm and kind to everyone, started creaking his iron body.

Fortunately, the smiling Tracos intervened and made the children a wonderful proposal: “why don't you try to fix the broken toy pieces too? You will see that it will be nice to see them whole again! "

The children accepted Tracos' proposal but, since they were only used to destroy objects, at first they just made a mess! 

Eladuni approached them and helped. Even Robomutant, who had calmed down, went out of his way to help the children who, seeing some of their old toys finally rebuilt, sincerely regretted what they had done. While everyone was busy working hard, Robomutant exclaimed: "I’ve got an idea! Indeed, a great idea! I will use my superpower to teleport me to all the children in the world! And you, my friends, will come with me! We will teach children to appreciate the toys they have and take care of them.

The friends were delighted with the idea of traveling in space with Robomutant and being able to save many other toys. But suddenly, when they were almost ready to leave, they realized that Unimouse was not with them.

So they decided to wait for Unimouse while they continued repairing the toys the children had destroyed.

The mushroom family, who hid in the toy car, did not remain passive and immediately got out of the toy car. They showed the children how to repair some of the broken toys and devoted them to the work to be done. They supported Robomutant, Eladuni, Tracos, and Unimaouse. Altogether, they repaired the Barbie doll who had lost a head. The teddy bear who had lost an ear got a new ear, the playing cards which were torn were taped, the muddy balls were cleaned, the robots got new batteries and the kite got a new string. The toys were reusable again. 

After finishing the “Repair Mission,” all the toys and the children had a big smile on their faces and felt a relief. Nevertheless, when they recognized that Unimouse was missing yet, they got worried. The mushroom family got into the toy car and started to search for Unimouse all around the house and the garden. This went for a while...

After several hours, the mushroom family found Unimouse under the big tree in the garden. Unimouse felt asleep They felt better know as Unimouse was not in trouble. The children took Unimouse to the house and they waited until Unimouse woke up.

After this, the toys and the children decided to throw a party for their great achievements. Together, they danced, sang, and played different games. They even planned a trip to the ice cream shop in town!

Baby Mushroom was so satisfied that he shouted: 

“That is real Toy Town! We will be always happy if we live in peace and support each other during hard times!”

The party went on until midnight. The cheerful voices and laughter filled the house. This was a new beginning for all of them. They became friends and lived happily ever after!
