POEMS

ST. GEORGE'S LEGEND

On St George Day, a book give
and a book take, a red rose give your partner.
23rd Love Day is in Catalonia
a Book Day in whole world.

On this date a long time ago

two big writers died.
One Cervantes was, a Spanish writer
and Shakespeare that was an English writer.

A Catalan legend explains
that a knight to a princess
saved from a terrible dragon.

When this dragon died
from the blood a rose appeared
and St George gave one to the princess.

Maria del Mar Àvila, 2nd B

SAINT GEORGE LEGEND

In a far far Kingdom
a beautiful princess with long and curly hair
lived prisoner, because a horrible dragon
wanted to eat all the people of this place.

But a brave prince wanted to save
the pretty princess of the Kingdom.

The prince fought against
the enormous dragon with
his sword and his shield, and
for his courage he defeated.

Oh my brave prince
you saved my life and
the life of all the Kingdom.
Ask me what do you want -said the princess

Princess... Do you want to marry me?
Oh yes!- said she, because
when you were fighting with the dragon,
I fell love in you.

An for this... Saint George
gave a rose to the princess,
that from dragon's blood was born,
and this is because we're doing now.

Laura Medina, 2nd B
