A1-A2 - A vingança dos peixes 

Era uma vez (porque é assim que todos os bons contos começam) uma família de peixes. Na verdade, eram várias famílias. Nadavam todos pelo mar. Divertiam-se muito a jogar às escondidas, jogavam futebol com conchas e tinham muitas outras brincadeiras. Isto tudo para dizer que viviam uma vida simples, mas cheia de alegria e felicidade. Viviam com outras criaturas marinhas. Claro que, de vez em quando, havia um “desaparecimento”, especialmente quando passava por lá um tubarão, mas isso era a lei da Natureza, e nada podia mudá-la.
Porém, um dia, um peixe desapareceu sem ninguém saber porquê. Estavam todos preocupados, porque ele não voltava. Vários dias depois, outros peixes desapareceram. Portanto, todos os peixes que ainda estavam vivos juntaram-se e decidi- ram explorar os oceanos. Poucos dias depois, um peixe voltou e contou aos outros o que tinha visto: era um monstro enorme, com várias bocas que nunca se fechavam. Não se lhe distinguiam olhos. Ao ouvir isto, todos os peixes ficaram aflitos e com medo. Brincavam muito menos, estavam muito mais atentos e vigilantes.
Mas, um dia, dois peixinhos ganharam coragem, saíram da casa deles e foram explorar o mar, para ver o monstro que comia os peixes. Esconderam-se atrás das algas como costumavam fazer. Esperaram, esperaram, mas foram recompensados por tanta paciência, porque a criatura demoníaca voltou. Comia tudo o que via, parecia que nunca conseguia saciar-se. Tinha imensas bocas que nunca se fechavam. Apesar do pavor que tinham, ficaram a observar e não fugiram. E fizeram bem, porque, depois, eles viram uma coisa inacreditável: o monstro não comia os peixes, mas guardava-os dentro da barriga. Depois subia para dentro do barco que o arrastava. Oferecia todos os peixes que tinha aos humanos, estava ao serviço deles. Foi então que os dois peixes perceberam que não era monstro nenhum… (…)
