Stolen Stories for My Nieces

Poor aunt! Late at night, she was too tired to read to her nieces, but she could make up stories, and the girls seemed to enjoy them, because THEY WERE: SURPRISED, to hear that Juan was so fearless that he entered a haunted castle, just for knowing what fear is. WORRIED, for the African princess who was looking for the power of the biggest love for saving her people. CONFUSED, about how being connected has something to do with a cat in the elevator. WONDERING, if there was a Dominican Christmas story. INQUIRING, why old Belen did not give the Christmas presents on time.
