Revolution
What is it about?
Technical details
Sample Text
After a delicious Sunday meal, Andrea wants ice cream for dessert, but there is a law that prohibits people from eating ice-cream whenever it is cloudy. Andrea tries to convince her grandmother and parents to disregard that law because it makes no sense at all, instead, she gets punished.
Next Monday she tells her friends what happened, and they decide they want to figure out how to change a law that makes no sense at all. They organize, they protest, they get punished, they hold on together, they receive threats, they try to negotiate, and nothing changes until eventually, they decide to escalate their strike by shutting down the internet, this forces the president to join the negotiation table.
Will they be able to change the law?
“Change the law! Change the law!
We want to eat ice cream whenever we want!”
Everyone chanted.

Emiliano smiled, he felt a strange tingling all over his body, an excitement he had never experienced before. He raised his fist towards the sky and shouted:
--- Let’s get the power to change laws! Yes! I want to be part of this revolution, I want to change the laws to be able to eat Ice cream when it’s cloudy outside!
Emiliano and Andrea high fived.
Simone was not convinced:
--- Can we really do that? Can we really change the law if we have something the adults want?
--- Yes! I believe we can!
Andrea replied.
—But, what do we have that adults want?
Simone asked.
—I don’t know...
Replied Andrea, with an honest smile.
—We have to think about that. What do adults want?
