DISTANT LAND OF CLAUDOLOCK

King Claudolock ruled the ‘Distant Land of Claudolock,’ a drizzly place feared by all Wee People.  Where it rained all day and night and the sun never ever appeared. 

In short if a Wee People did not complete his or her ‘good deed of the day’ for the Big People, like picking up the keys that fell behind the dresser or simply pushing a dirty dish into the sink that was left on the counter, they are doomed to the Distant Land of Claudolock for the rest of their lives.

Here they repeat their worst hated chore again and again every day all day forever. Like scrubbing toilets, taking out the garbage or maybe scrubbing the floor.  And they do it without emotion, for King Claudolock in his castle. Which I might add is always very, very clean.

 You see if a Wee People misses a day of doing something nice for the Big People the glowing rock around their neck immediately turns black at midnight and one of their hearts, the emotional one, dies.  Remember the Wee People are afraid of black, it means bad things will happen.

They no longer have any feelings like you and I.  They can’t laugh or cry or be sad or excited...they simply feel nothing until their 100^th birthday, when their other heart dies. 

At midnight they seem to be in some sort of trance and they simply start walking away from their home without a word to anyone.  You cannot stop them or follow because if you try you may end up in the Distant Land of Claudolock too.  It is evil and the Wee People are terrified of it.

Could you imagine never being able to smile again and having to load the dishwasher or clean a room over and over again until your 100^th birthday? Yikes, that would be nasty!

Adnil Stands Up For Herself

Adnil lives with her Grandma and Grampa, mom and dad and two sisters between the gigantic walls of a three story mansion in Beverly Hills California.  The house is a pinkish colour and that's fine for Adnil because her favorite colour is pink. 
In fact most of the things she has are pink.  You would think after awhile she would like a change but nope, pink is it for her! lol
Adnil is strong and athletic, she loves to run and would run forever if she could!  In fact there is a beautiful garden and walkway that goes to the edge of a lake just behind her house.  It is safe for her to run outside first thing in the morning, before any of the 'Big People' are awake.  This is what she calls 'her' time and wouldn't give it up for the world.
For her 'good deed of the day' for the 'Big People' she decided to clear up the weeds on the edge of the lawn that the gardener missed.  He had already pulled them out and just forgot to throw them away.  Adnil was big enough to carry two or three at once and toss them high into the garbage bin. 
It took about 15 minutes and she was done.  As usual she felt really good afterwards.
Later in the day she changed into her favorite pink dress, made from an old tea towel the 'Big People' threw out.  Adnil loved this dress and wore it at least twice a week.
Afterward her friend Annuahs came over to play dolls.  She was fun to play with but sometimes got a little bossy if you didn't do things her way.  It was only a week till Christmas and they were both really excited.  While they were playing Annuahs told Adnil that Santa wasn't real.  That he was made up and it was the mom's and dad's that did it all. 
Christmas time was really big at Adril's house and she was really upset to hear this.  She believed in Santa and the magic of  Christmas with all her heart.  She felt sad and mad at the same time.  Her  response was to tell her friend she was wrong.  That there really was a Santa.  Adnil told Annuah that her  parents did help out a little because Santa had such a big job but there was nothing she could say to make her not believe in Santa.  Somebody had to give presents to the kids whose parents could not afford to buy any.  Adnil believed it was Santa.
Her friend didn't know what to say but it certainly made her think.  Maybe it would make Christmas time more special if she at least tried to believe in Santa and the magic of Christmas.
Adnil felt a teeny bit bad for getting upset with her friend but she was proud of herself for standing up for what she believes.  Instead of just agreeing with her friend because it was easier.  This made her feel really good and hopefully her friend would see that being bossy doesn't mean you get your way.

Elleinad Learns Not To Spread Rumors!

Haven't you heard about the 'Wee People' that live between your walls?  Borrowing your things to make their home and in return doing a 'good deed' every day for the 'Big People' (that's us!).  These minature type people are less than 30 cm tall and always seem to find some sort of trouble to get into.  Although in doing so they learn important life lessons each and everyday.  They live to be one hundred years old and have names like yours and mine only spelled backwards.  If I were a 'Wee Person' I would be Ythac! Ha.

Here's an adventure that happened just the other day...

There are not many ‘Wee People’ schools around.  But Elleinad was lucky enough to live in an apartment building and in the basement there was a school.

Elleinad was 10 years old and loved the colour purple.  Almost everything she ‘borrowed’ was purple.  She even wore purple underwear! Ha.

Her ‘good deed’ of the day was to pick up the pencil shavings.  They were accidently dropped on the floor beside the garbage instead of in it.  I think we have all done that before.

School started at 9 am and first break was around 10:30.  During break Elleinad spread the rumour that Sally tooted during class.  This was not very nice and it made Sally cry.  Seeing her cry did not make Elleinad feel very good. 

Sally even came up to her and told her not to spread rumours.  Elleinad realized she was wrong to do that and told Sally she was sorry.  Sally smiled and asked her to be her friend.

From that moment on they were best friends and Ellienad promised never to spread rumours again.

CONFIDENCE

Confidence is a good thing to have.  Being confident helps you to do things better.  If you ``believe` that you can win the race, you will perform better than if you think you won`t.  Alyej decided to have good thoughts about the race and she won because she believed she would win. 

If you `think` you are going to ace the math test, you will likely do better than your friend who knows he`s going to fail. 

Being confident will help you succeed in life and be the best person you can be.

ALYEJ GAINS CONFIDENCE!

Alyej is a smart little ‘Wee People.’ She is seven inches tall. The size of a small banana.  Aleyej loves bright colours.  Orange, yellow and green are her favourites.  She wears bright hair bands in her hair and colourful dresses fill her ‘lunchables box’ dresser. 

Today Alyej tidied up the kitty litter box for the ‘Big People,’ as her ‘good deed’ for the day.  It was a tough job but she felt good afterwards.

The ‘Big People’ were visiting relatives and Alyej was supposed to meet her friend ‘Enaj’ in the backyard for a running race.

Alyej was very nervous and could feel the butterflies dancing around in her tummy.  She wanted so badly to win the race but didn’t think she could because ‘Enaj’ was great at everything.  That kind of made Alyej feel bad.

Alyej then remembered what her mom told her, that ‘if you don’t believe you can do something you won’t...always believe in yourself and you will be great.’ 

That made Alyej smile and she told herself she could win the race.  She really believed she could.

Enaj was not very nice about it and told Alyej it was going to be easy to beat her.

 Alyej did not listen to her and kept telling herself she was going to run very fast and win the race.

And guess what?  She did just that.  Alyej believed in herself and ran the fastest she has ever run before.

Alyej could hardly believe it!

She was so happy and even told Enaj that she ran well too.  Enaj was a little sad but laughed and told Alyej she was great.

All Alyej could do was smile
