Ben wants a bug.

Er waren eens drie zusjes: Sofia, Manal en Imane. Ze woonden in een klein huis aan de rand van een magisch bos, een plek waar alles mogelijk was. Op een zonnige ochtend, terwijl Sofia met haar ipad in de tuin zat, hoorde ze plotseling een zacht gezoem. Ze keek op en zag Stitch, de gekke blauwe buitenaardse wezen, vrolijk door de lucht zweven met een vliegtuig van bananen! "Kom, we gaan op avontuur!" riep hij enthousiast. Sofia snelde naar haar zusjes. "Manal, Iman, Stitch roept ons!" zei ze met een brede glimlach. Manal, altijd nieuwsgierig, sprong op en rende naar buiten. Imane, die nog niet goed kon praten, klapte vrolijk in haar handen. De drie zusjes en Stitch reisden samen naar een magisch eiland, waar ze alle figuren van Disney ontmoetten. Angel,het roze vriendinnetje van stich , legde hen uit dat dit eiland de plek was waar dromen uitkomen. Hier konden ze alles doen wat hun hartje begeerde. Manal wilde vliegen, Sofia wilde leren toveren en Imane vond het heerlijk om met de zachte wolken te spelen. Op het eiland ontmoetten ze ook een vriendelijke roze draak die hen uitnodigde voor een rit door de lucht. Manal voelde zich net een superheld, terwijl Sofia met haar nieuwe toverstok prachtige regenbogen toverde en Imane gilde van plezier in de lucht. De dag vloog voorbij, en toen de zon begon ondergaan, wisten de zusjes dat het tijd was om terug naar huis te gaan. Stitch nam hen mee terug, en zelfs Imane viel in slaap op zijn schouder. Sofia en Manal keken elkaar lachend aan. Wat een avontuur! Thuis, in hun veilige huis bij pappa en mamma, droomden de zusjes verder over hun magische dag. Ze wisten dat hun avonturen nog maar net begonnen waren, want in hun wereld van Disneyfiguren was elke dag een nieuw wonder om te ontdekken. En zo groeiden de zusjes op, altijd omringd door de magie van hun fantasieën, met een stukje Disney in hun hart voor altijd.

Instruction: 1. illustration very simple During the Civil War, the Transcontinental Railroad aimed to link the U.S. coasts. The Central Pacific Railroad started in Sacramento, CA, employing Chinese laborers, and the Union Pacific in Omaha, NE, with Irish immigrants, Civil War veterans, and freed slaves. Up to 20,000 Chinese workers joined, including 12-year-old Li Wei and his father, who faced discrimination with lower pay and no food or housing. The work was extremely dangerous, with rockslides, explosions, and avalanches, especially in the Sierra Nevada, where workers faced harsh winters and isolation. Sadly, Li Wei’s father died in a rockslide. In 1867, Li Wei and many Chinese workers went on strike for better pay and conditions, but saw limited success. Tensions rose with Native American tribes, like the Cheyenne, who derailed a train near Plum Creek, NE, reflecting the challenges of westward expansion. Despite these struggles, progress continued. On May 10, 1869, the railroad was completed at Promontory Summit, UT, marking a new era in American transportation. Afterward, Li Wei and others faced discrimination in finding work and often lived in isolated Chinatowns. On October 24, 1871, violence erupted in Los Angeles’ Chinatown, killing 19 Chinese, including Li Wei’s friend. In 1875, grieving, Li Wei returned to China. The Transcontinental Railroad was transformative, yet costly for Chinese workers who made up most of the Central Pacific workforce. Facing discrimination and hazardous conditions, they were key to the railroad’s completion. Over 1,200 Chinese workers died, highlighting their sacrifice. Despite advancing U.S. infrastructure, they encountered ongoing hostility and laws against them. Their resilience underscores their overlooked role in shaping 19th-century America.
