Mr. Agoo
In every carnival, there’s always one performer who stands out, not just for their talent, but for their knack for chaos. For Markos, the upset carnival leader, that star troublemaker was none other than Mr. Agoo, the street-performing bear.
Mr. Agoo was the face of the Carnival March, pedaling atop his penny-farthing bicycle with unmatched flair. He thrilled the crowd with daring stunts, juggling props, and spinning his handlebars. But as much as the audience adored him, Markos dreaded every show. Mr. Agoo had a knack for the unpredictable. Whether it was veering off course, stopping mid-parade to dance with the crowd, or simply ignoring instructions, the bear was a master at causing a stir.
Now, it was Easter Eve, and the carnival team was preparing for their grand performance. Markos couldn’t shake his growing concern. “Agoo,” he warned as the bear adjusted his tiny hat and mounted his penny-farthing, “stick to the routine this time. And for heaven’s sake, don’t lose the chocolate eggs! The kids are counting on us!” [read more]
Mr. Agoo saluted with a cheeky grin. “Relax, boss. I’ve got this!”
The parade began, vibrant and lively. Crowds lined the streets, cheering as dancers, musicians, and performers passed by. At the front of the procession was Mr. Agoo, spinning around on his bicycle with a large egg bag of chocolate eggs tied securely to his back. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until it wasn’t.
Midway through the show, Mr. Agoo vanished. One moment, he was pedaling in front of the team; the next, he was gone.
Markos’ heart sank. “Where is he?!” he shouted, scanning the crowd. The rest of the team faltered, unsure of what to do without their lead act. Markos had no choice but to leave the parade and search for the missing bear.
After a frantic hunt, Markos spotted a familiar furry figure sitting at a snack bar. There was Mr. Agoo, blissfully munching on a massive burger and a mountain of french fries.
“ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!” Markos roared, storming up to him.
Mr. Agoo blinked, unfazed. “What’s the problem, boss?” he asked, licking ketchup off his paw.
“What’s the problem?! You abandoned the parade! The kids are waiting for their chocolate eggs! Where are they?!”
Mr. Agoo lazily patted his large egg bag that contained the chocolate eggs. “Oh, they’re safe. Don’t worry. I might’ve eaten a couple, they’re really good, you know, but there’s plenty left!” He finished his fries with a satisfied sigh. “I was hungry, so I thought I’d grab a bite. Can’t perform on an empty stomach, can I?”
Markos buried his face in his hands but knew arguing was futile. “Fine. Let’s just get back before the crowd riots.”
Back at the parade, the crowd erupted into cheers as Mr. Agoo returned, chocolate eggs in tow. The kids shouted with delight as he tossed eggs to them from his lofty perch on the penny-farthing. Then, with his signature flair, Mr. Agoo launched into an impromptu performance, balancing on two wheels, juggling colorful balls, and tossing chocolate eggs into the crowd all at once.
The children laughed, their faces lit with pure joy, while the rest of the performance team joined in the fun. Markos, though thoroughly angry, couldn’t help but smile at the chaos.
By the end of the show, the streets were filled with happy children clutching their chocolate treasures, and the crowd roared with applause. Mr. Agoo bowed theatrically from his bicycle, soaking in the adoration.
As the parade wrapped up, Markos shook his head, a mix of frustration and admiration. “You’re impossible, Agoo. But you did make everyone smile.”
Mr. Agoo grinned, popping a leftover chocolate egg into his mouth. “That’s the idea, boss. Now, about dessert…”
Markos groaned, but the crowd’s laughter rang louder than ever, marking another unforgettable carnival performance. [/read]

Lavinia
In the winter of 1870, Lavinia and her family lived in a traditional American village, known for its rich artistic and historical charm, with numerous shops offering old items, drawings, paintings, and handmade crafts. Lavinia often walked through the village center with her younger brother, Dob, after school, stopping at the French bakery to buy fresh bread.
One day, on their way home, Lavinia noticed an antique shop called “The Gilded Age Emporium” displaying a beautiful toy horse with dark red wheels. Both she and Dob were captivated by it. “Lavinia, wow! Look at this horse, it’s so beautiful! Can we see it up close?” Dob eagerly asked. “Yes, little one, it’s stunning. Let’s take a closer look,” Lavinia replied. Dob then asked if he could ride the horse for a few minutes, and Philo, the kind shop owner, was happy to oblige. Philo, who had a passion for collecting antiques, loved children deeply and longed to have one of his own, although fate had not yet blessed him with that gift. He believed that God would eventually grant him a child with his devoted wife. [read more]
“Do you like the ride, kid?” Philo asked Dob. “Yeah, it’s wonderful! Thank you, Uncle,” Dob responded, delighted. From that day on, Dob would stop by the shop to ride the horse daily after school, with Philo generously allowing him to do so without any concern.
As spring approached, so did Dob’s birthday. Lavinia wanted to surprise him with the toy horse he loved so much. She broke open her porcelain piggy bank to see how much she had saved since summer. “It’s $5, and the horse costs $5 just as Philo mentioned. Thank God,” Lavinia said, feeling deeply grateful. She then asked her mother what they would prepare for Dob’s birthday the next day. Her mother requested that she buy an Italian pizza from the bakery before 3:00 pm, as it closed early on weekends. “Mom, what about the cake? Aren’t we baking a chocolate cake?” Lavinia asked in surprise. “I’m sorry, dear, our chickens haven’t laid any eggs for two days, so no cake this time,” her mother replied sadly. “It’s okay, Mom, we’ll make do,” Lavinia said, trying to stay positive.
The next day, Lavinia rushed to “The Gilded Age Emporium” to purchase the toy horse, only to find it missing from the window display. Panicking, she hurried inside, fighting back tears, and anxiously asked Philo if the horse had been sold. “Hey there, what’s wrong? Are you okay? Oh, the horse! It’s still here. I was just marking items for sale, and the horse is included, it’s now discounted from $5 to $3,” Philo explained.
Overwhelmed with relief, Lavinia realized how fortunate she was. “Thank God! I’m so happy it’s still available. I want to buy it right away for Dob’s birthday,” she told Philo. “Oh, really? Is today his birthday? How wonderful! Would you also accept this handmade bear as a gift for Dob? It’s made from 100% pure cotton, and your brother deserves it,” Philo offered with a smile. “Thank you so much, Philo! Dob will love it, especially because it’s from you,” Lavinia responded gratefully.
With $5, Lavinia purchased the toy horse for $3 and used the remaining $2 to buy a chocolate cake. She returned home, her heart overflowing with joy, ready to surprise both her brother and her mother. [/read]

Sebastian
An intelligent and elegant boy. He is a travel lover. Sebastian is traveling with his dog “Mike” to his French aunt due to the spring holiday at his literature college. Unfortunately, Sebastian arrived at the train station once the train had left. The reason that made him a little bit upset was that his aunt was waiting for him to eat lunch with him. He knows that his aunt is a professional cook, especially in baking Italian pizzas, the most delicious dish that Sebastian loves from his aunt. “Sorry, Aunty, I will be delayed a little bit, but I know how much you love me, and you will not be upset with me,” Sebastian said to himself. To make up for his delay, Sebastian decided to purchase a small gift for his aunt.
As he scanned the area, a signboard of a unique vintage doll shop caught his eye. Knowing his aunt’s love for collecting such unique items, he quickly entered the store and selected a charming old-fashioned doll for her. With some time left before the next train, Sebastian also bought a newspaper from a nearby booth to keep himself occupied until the train arrived. [read more]
After a while, “In 10 minutes, the train will arrive. Hey, Mike, let us go to the waiting area beside the mailbox pillar over there and wait for the train,” Sebastian said to his dog Mike. “Oh, my Aunty, I miss you so much. I’m eagerly looking forward to enjoying your delicious pizza and Madeleine cookies with linden tea. I can’t forget the aroma of these cookies, how you baked them for me in previous years; it filled the air with the warm, comforting scent of butter and sugar mingling together, reminding me of your cozy kitchen. I remembered how each bite from it made me eager to eat them all. It has been a long time since I last saw you since I started my first year in college. Wait for me, Aunty, I’m coming”. Sebastian said to himself.
Do you think Sebastian’s aunt will adore the vintage-style doll that he purchased from the handmade dolls for sale shop? [/read]

Carla
I’m Clara, a talented acrobat performing in a circus to cover my living expenses. However, I realized that my earnings from the Russian circus were insufficient to support my family due to my low salary. To make ends meet, I decided to work as a street acrobat after my circus performances, showcasing my skills to anyone who would watch. Each performance brought in a little extra money, and I hoped it would help provide for my family’s needs.
While working on the street, I met a professional dancer named Lucas in the central square. His performance, where he mimics a living statue, is captivating. One day, he asked if I could help him create a beautiful costume like mine. I invited him for coffee at my home and asked my mother, who is skilled in tailoring, to design a new costume for him. She took his measurements and crafted an amazing costume. He looked stunning in it and I wasn’t sure if I had fallen in love with him or with the costume! [read more]
“Thank you, ma’am. I love your design; it’s so fashionable. How much does it cost?” Lucas asked. “Don’t worry about it, son. This is a gift from me to you. Save your money for something more important,” my mother replied. “Oh, this is too much for me, ma’am. I appreciate it,” Lucas responded, touched by her kindness. I was delighted that my mother did this favor for Lucas; he truly deserved it. He always worked hard and cared for others, so seeing him happy made my heart swell with joy.
Want to see my darling, Lucas? [/read]

It is Easter, and it is time for handmade Easter eggs. Ruby’s mother asked her daughter to help her make colorful Easter eggs and cook a cake to celebrate with her grandmother.

You are my cute, creative rabbit,” Ruby said. Ruby’s mother went to the bakery to buy fresh bread on the way to her mom. “Banjo, is the carriage ready now? We don’t want to be late for my grandmother, and my mother will be with her waiting for us to celebrate Easter together,” Ruby said. “Yeah! It is ready, my sweet girl, let’s go,” Banjo said.
On the way, Ruby asked Banjo to stop a little bit to collect some flowers from the agricultural road for her grandmother. “Oh, we reached. It was a nice journey in your carriage, Banjo.

Phillip

[read more]
Seven years later, my father became older and sick, and I had to work hard to cover his medical expenses. One day, after finishing my performance, I counted the money I had collected and realized it wasn’t enough to buy his medicines. At that moment, I felt like all the doors had closed in front of me. Suddenly, I saw my friend Lucas approaching.
“Hey, Phillip, what’s wrong?” Lucas asked. “No worries, my friend, I’ll be alright,” I replied. “Is something wrong with your father?” Lucas inquired. Being perceptive, he quickly understood the situation without me having to explain. “Phillip, take all the money in my bag. I was collecting it to buy a gift for my girlfriend’s mother, but your father needs it more. Please take it and help him,” Lucas said. “What a kind heart Lucas has,” I thought to myself. Herein, I realized that friendship isn’t just a word, it’s an attitude.

Pablo
The Spanish Bill poster boy. He is wearing colored wool shorts, a linen shirt, and suspenders. Pablo carries a burlap bag full of posters that need to be posted in certain places. Once Pablo reached the theatre square, he found old posters needed to be replaced with new ones on the pillar of the theatre square. He recognized the time was close to 12:30 noon. It is his lunch break, and he is too tired and hungry. He looked around him in order to find a place to sit. Unfortunately, no bench was available in the square to sit on. The best place was the pillar (He recognized). He put his glue bucket on the ground and lay on the column to relax and eat his stale burger. Once he started biting his burger, the birds flew toward him to eat his only burger. He felt sorry for him and for them as well :). He smiled and instantly threw a piece of the bread to feed them. And then, he resumed eating the rest of his food. One of the birds is standing on the pillar and observing Pablo’s burger. The bird decided to grab it from Pablo’s hand. What a poor boy, Pablo :). The scene text will be printed and attached to the doll.
