and hid them. As soon as the king’s carriage came into sight, just as the cat had expected for he always drove in that direction, the cat began to cry very loudly, “Help for my Lord the Marquis of Carabas.” The king put his head out, and asked what was the matter. “Oh, your majesty,” said the cat, “my master the marquis was bathing, and someone has taken away his clothes.” The king ordered one of his attendants to ride back to the palace and get a suit of his own clothes for the marquis, “who has so often sent me gifts,” he said. And when they were brought, the cat took them to his master.

The cat told the coachman to go to the Ogre’s castle, and when they arrived, he said, “Your majesty and the princess are welcome at the castle of my Lord Marquis of Carabas.” The king was delighted, for it was indeed a very nice castle.

Avoid Social Networking Risks Nowadays in social networks, we can find many risks that may lead to unpleasant experiences. We must say that social networks per se are not the problem; the problem is not being able to notice the danger and not taking precautions. Children are exposed to stalking, theft of personal information, or blackmail, among other risks. So here is some advice you can follow to protect yourself: • Never post personal information (e.g., mobile number or addresses). • Think twice before posting pictures or videos of yourself if you don’t want people to see them and be able to download them. • Think carefully about what you say before you write something online. • Never share your passwords and keep your privacy settings as high as possible. • Don’t befriend unknown people and never meet up with people you’ve met online; remember not everyone is who they say they are. Finally, we advise you that, if you see something online that makes you feel unsafe or worried, leave the website right away and tell a trusted adult. Never underestimate the risks, always keep safe!

Dealing with Peer Pressure
What is it? Peer pressure is when someone your age pushes you to do something. Why should you react? Sometimes what they request you to do may be harmful or risky for you; it might lead you in the wrong direction. What to do? • First, reflect if you feel certain about the request. • Then, think about the consequences of accepting the request. • Finally, choose what will make you feel safest and happiest, and not what others want you to do.
