Emilia sees her parents are scared by an earthquake and tries to explain what caused it with imaginative stories about moles revolting, an animal called a millemole, rock earthworms, and a giant with stinky feet passing by. Though she doesn't know the real cause, her stories show courage and make her parents forget their fear, hugging her instead.

1. The courage of
Emilia

2. Little Emilia saw his parents very
scared by earthquake and take a
decision..
“Let me tell you something about the
earthquake!”

4. “It’s Moles’ fault!
They rise in revolution!”
she said,
“they want more carrots to chew!”

6. but then she changed her mind and
said..
“ No, it’s fault of Millemole,
it is an animal with many foot ! It
has legs like a mole, and his butt it’s
like a trumpet, and did some shoots
PROOOOT!

8. Emilia thought about a more specific
and scientific explanation..

9. “Maybe, in the otherside of the world,
in new zeland, there is a competition
of rope jump”

11. “Or Maybe it’s rock
earthworms’ fault !!”

13. “Got it!
I’m sure, it’s fault of a giant with
stinky feet..
He must be passing near here!”

15. Emilia, really didn’ t know..but..

16. His parents were so happy about her
courage and forgot the fear and
embraced her.

17. The end
