Heaven

Michelle dreamed of visiting wonderland as they called the city Heaven, a city where your dreams came true and everything was perfect.

Michel was a poor boy who lived in a dangerous neighborhood of the city where basic services such as electricity, water and security constantly failed, but despite all the difficulties his home was full of love and solidarity with his neighbor.

Michelle always listened to stories of his friends and in school, how wonderful it was to live in the city of Heaven, that the lucky people to go to live in that city were treated like kings.

One day at Michel's school they did a science contest and in prize was a two-week pass to live in the city Heaven. Won the contest.

When Michelle met the city Heaven was amazed by his technology and how beautiful it was, but soon she realized that the city was cold and inhuman, nobody cared about his neighbor, friendship and solidarity did not exist in that world. Michelle learned that "not everything that shines is gold."
