O Menino Ruivo
Murilo, a clever and organized young boy from the Brazilian countryside, faces challenges at school where his unique behaviors are misunderstood. As he struggles with misconceptions, he learns about tolerance and acceptance, leading to a heartwarming resolution.
In the small town of Caxambu, Murilo, a bright and organized boy, loved school. But something was wrong. His friends thought he acted differently. " - Why do you line up all the toys, Murilo?" asked Lucas. Murilo didn't know why others didn't do the same. He felt puzzled and a bit sad.
Murilo wanted to fit in with his friends. During playtime, he organized blocks by color. " - Come play with us, Murilo!" called Ana. But Murilo loved his colors. Other kids didn't understand. They whispered and pointed, and Murilo felt alone.
At story time, Murilo sat at the front, listening intently. " - Why does Murilo sit so close?" wondered Pedro. Murilo loved to hear every word. But the teacher noticed he was often by himself. Murilo wished he could explain but didn't know how.
Feeling misunderstood, Murilo thought about staying home. " - I don't want to go to school," he said. But his mom smiled and hugged him tight. " - You're special just the way you are," she said softly. Murilo didn't know what to do next.
One day, a new teacher, Mr. Souza, arrived. " - Tell me about your colors, Murilo," he asked kindly. Murilo's eyes lit up. Mr. Souza listened and shared stories of others like Murilo. " - You have a special way of seeing things," he said. Murilo felt happy.
The next day, Murilo showed his friends how to organize by color. " - Wow, this is fun!" shouted Lucas. The children played together, laughing. " - We like your games, Murilo," said Ana. Murilo smiled, feeling accepted and understood at last.
