Tales where Children are born from Nature

In school we read a Japanese story about a boy who was born in a peach. Then we read Thumbelina who was born on a flower. I decided to watch the same movie that my friends in class did here in Mexico. It was called The Odd Life of Timothy Green.

Here is what the movie is about:

It is about a man and woman named Mr. and Mrs. Green. The father works in a pencil factory. They have a nice house but they want a child. They wanted to have a good one. They wrote down how he should be. Here are a list of things:

Never give up

Have a great heart

Funny

Honest

Musical

Artistic

Score the  winning goal

So they put all of their notes of ideas in a box and buried it in the garden. Then a boy covered in dirt appears in their house. His name is Timothy. His mom gives him a bath and discovers that he has leaves growing on his ankles. They try to cut them off but they cannot. The leaves are stuck to him. The next day Timothy goes to a birthday party, he wears socks to hide his leaves. He dives in the swimming pool but he doesn't know how to swim because he was born from nature. He just stayed at the bottom of the pool and never came back up to the surface. A girl named Joli dives in the pool and tries to take off his socks. He kicks her so she can't see his leaves. After that he tries to run away from her and she shows him a big red spot on her body. Timothy finds out that he is not the only person who is different from others. Soon they become friends and play in the forest and catch the falling leaves off the trees. When they're done playing Timothy first leaf falls. His Uncle Bob was very sick but he made him feel happy and so he gave him his first leaf. Then Timothy decides to make a pencil out of leaves. One of the things I liked from the movie was when he said...

"With a pencil anything is possible". Then he did a drawing of the lady who owned the pencil factory and another leaf fell. He gave that one to her. Him and his girlfriend Joli have more adventures in the forest. They rode bikes then built a fort out of leaves. Timothy goes to a music recital to find out which instrument to play. He finds a bell and a mallet and starts playing a tune. Timothy goes to a soccer game and his number was 0. His coach told him to stay put but his father told him to watch the ball and start moving his legs. The sun comes out and he spreads his arms open and closes his eyes. Then when he opens them the ball comes, he kicks it and scored the winning goal. Everyone cheered including his friend Joli. "If you keep practicing the better you'll get"

his father told him. Then another leaf fell. He went home and put that one in an envelope then jumped into bed. In the end when his last leaf falls he leaves his parents and the only thing they found was a box with his envelope in it and a leaf inside. Finally he gave everyone that he cared for a leaf for a gift. 

Here are some lessons from the movie.

Everybody makes mistakes

it's OK to be diffrent

So far it is the last movie I've seen and is one of my most recent favorite movies.
