The swans lived a lonely life for nine hundred years.
Early one morning, they heard a bell.
They turned back into humans again.
The children hugged and put their arms around each other ,suddenly they fell on the ground , dead, because they were very old.
A priest saw them and buried them.
That night, he had a dream of four swans flying through clouds. He knew that the children were now reunited with their parents in heaven forever.

Aoife went back to the castle and told King Lir that the children had drowned.
The king was desperate.
He ran to the lake and he saw only four beautiful white swans.
One of the swans spoke , it was Fionnula.
She explained that Aoife had turned them into swans.
Lir spent the rest of his life by the lake and he died.
The children were very sad.

- Hi Rebecca! What are you doing?
- I’m posting some pictures on my Instagram account! Have a look!
- Oh! You should change your privacy settings.
- Privacy settings?
- Yes! There are privacy settings on your social medias. Your account is totally public at the moment, and you're logged in! Have you ever heard about being safe on the Internet?
- Of course, I have. But what are the privacy settings for?
- For the right people to see your information, not EVERYONE. If you don't change your privacy settings, when you upload a photo, anyone can see it. It's important to change them so only your friends can see your information. You don't want everyone to see everything!
- No! But I can delete things, can't I?
- Well, you can, but it's very difficult. Some things stay there forever.
- Oh, I’ve never really thought about all this.
- Don't worry, but you must learn how to stay safe. For example, you mustn't tell anyone your password!
- I won't!
- Isn’t it Cute Rebecca one two one?
- Yes, it is. How …
- It's on your notebook. Right there, on your desk. It isn't a very secret place, is it?
- No, you’re right, it isn't.

- Do you use Internet regularly? What for?
- I think I use Internet about 5 or 6 hours every day. I need it at work to send emails and do some research, and I have several social media accounts that I check all day long.

- Have you ever said anything online that you wouldn’t say in real life?
- No… I don’t think so. I’m always very careful about what I write.

- You’ve already downloaded music or videos online, haven’t you?
- Yes, I have! But mainly music; actually, I do that quite often.

- What TV series have you just watched online?
- Eeeerh… I’ve just finished season 3 of Stranger Things so I’ve just started season 4.

- Have you ever met anybody online?
- Yes, I have. I’ve even made new good friends once or twice.

- What social media have you never used?
- I’ve never used…errrh, well, Telegram! And I will never use it for sure… and I’ve not been on Twitter yet. In fact, I’m not very attracted to Twitter. I prefer Snapchat of course!

- Have you ever been bullied online?
- No… I don’t think I have… but I must say I have already felt upset about some comments I read about me.

- Have you ever cyberbullied someone?
- No, definitely not!

Hi ! I'm Federica and I'm twelve.
My birthday is on March the third.
I live in Sydney, in Australia.
I'm Italian because my parents are from Rome, in Italy.
I'm bilingual, I speak Italian and English.
I speak Italian with my family, at home, and I speak English with my friends and at school.
I study Spanish and Chinese because I love languages. I think it's easy and interesting.
I'm also interested in music and cinema.
My favourite band is Coldplay and I love the film Paddington

MD : Good evening Mam. Could I talk to Josephine Baker please ?
JB : Josephine speaking. May I ask who is calling please ?
MD : Marlène DIETRICH
JB : Nice to meet you dear. How are you doing ?
MD : I feel great after my Wiedersehen mit Marlene tour. I’ve just finished recording Shir Hatan in Hebrew following up my commitment against Nazism and my song Lili Marlène
But I’m not calling you to talk about that. I know you are fond of art and I’m sure you didn’t miss the last few days' information.
JB : You mean the sale, on July 8th, of the preparatory work of Fernand Leger “ Joueurs de Cartes”.
MD : I see your reputation is well founded. Indeed you are aware that, just like you, I met Fernand in New York
JB : I thought so indeed. Did he talk to you about this painting ?It seems like nobody knows where it comes from.
MD : From what I heard, it’s a gift Fernand gave a childhood friend before he left for the USA during the war.
JB : That’s also what I heard. But tell me dear what’s in your mind ?
MD : Nothing at all ! Don’t worry ! I just want you to know that I intend to be buying at the auction. I refuse that our dear Peggy GUGGENHEIM acquires another painting. She possesses all the masterpieces of our contemporary friends and I want to get my share.
JB : I perfectly understand my dear Marlene. The problem is I also intend to buy that painting.
MD : Maybe we could find a deal then. I could let you have the next sale and you would let me have this one.
JB : I’m really sorry but that’s impossible. I can’t possibly imagine to let go one of Fernand’s painting.
MD : Well, let’s have another agreement then. I have acquaintances who would be able to put pressure on Nathan Steine and that could influence the sale of the painting. Let’s be sure we make the deal. Otherwise we will have to call Anna to solve the problem...in a more definitive way
!
JB : You are really ready to do anything to get that painting…
MD : Considering its scarcity and its price, that I presume will be really high, I am indeed ready to do anything and I can assure you my men will do what’s needed to prevent Peggy to get that painting.
JB : Perfect then. I hope you’re right … Please make sure that masterpiece doesn’t end in Venice Guggenheim museum !
MD : I promise. Thank you so much. I will come and visit you on my next singing tour in Paris !
