Once upon a time, in Porto, there lived a boy called Francisco. Francisco’s parents have got a small business in Romania. That business was a car selling. Francisco one day told his parents that he wanted to go with them to Romania. When Francisco and his parents got there, Francisco tried to taste cozonac…but he didn’t like it.
The very next day Francisco went to have a look around the city and lost himself, because he was very distracted. Finally a boy helped him and he could return to the hotel. That same boy told him about a haunted castle...
The next day he wanted to visit the castle called Dracula. His parents new that, the castle was a hunted castle; it was hunted by a vampire called Vlad Dracul.
When he heard, what his parents told him, he got scared. In Romania Francisco was in a private school. Everybody was very friendly and joyful.
One day the school invited Francisco, to visit the castle of Dracula. He was scared, but he accepted the invitation. So they left at four o’¬ clock in the afternoon.
When they arrived to the castle, they had to make groups of 3, Francisco went with Tomas and Frederico. All of them were very scared, and worried…and while they were walking in the castle, the paintings were moving and the boys were very scared, and worried that the vampire would take them.
The castle had also a kind of a park...The boys went to see and they saw someone playing Oina but they did not know who was playing. After one hour they felt that somebody was watching them. Francisco looked everywhere except the bathroom.
Tomas was distressed to go to the bathroom. He found it and he went to the bathroom. 15 minutes later and he still did not come out, Frederico and Francisco were very worried, because Tomás was not in the bathroom, and they thought that the vampire had taken him.
Then they saw a door, a very black door. They opened it and got surprised. All the class was there, but not their friend Tomas…All the class and the two boys were very worried. Two girls called Julia and Shasha, went to the bathroom, but before, they saw Tomás running near the class. He seemed to be scared…He said that the vampire took him but he couldn’t run away. Everybody was happy that he was fine and safe.
Everybody heard something coming from the corridor. It was a man who came to tell them that they have to go away, because it was late and the vampire was about to come in order to scare them. So all the class went to a restaurant to eat some Mamaliga, everybody loved it...Tomás and his friends will never forget that adventure!
