As a child I had a favor story that my mom told me many, many, times. It was the story of Pirlic and Pirlec. If you have not heard of it, don’t worry, unless you are my family member you could not possibly have. My grand father actually came up with this story, which clearly takes inspiration form many well known children stories, but also from a number of grand dad’s original ideas.
“Once upon a time there were two little kids, the younger was called Pirlic, while the older was Pirlec. This was their name because they only had one pair of shoes and they were clogs. When they walked they made this noise “pirlic … pirlec … pirlic … pirlec”.
That’s pretty much how it started. But this story had a peculiar characteristic, it changed all the time accordingly to what was the “issue” of the day or taking some elements from what had happened that day.
Once I grew up and had kids of my own i started telling them this same story and began understanding something that might, or might not, have been in my grand dad intentions.
Telling the story allowed for my kids self reflection on something that had happened during the day. And allowed me to guide them through a proper integration of something that maybe had not been too pleasant for them that day.
Or even simply help them see something from a different point of view.
While initially started telling them this story, I later added more of my own. This site is for all these stories. So that I keep track of them. Right now these are pretty much just draft versions and I’m using this site to share them with friends and keep updating them and make them better.
If you want to tell them to your kids, feel free. Please don’t publish them anywhere and don’t profit from it in any way without getting my approval.
