Return us time.

Tales of England: return us time.


Long, long time ago, the city of London was reign by evil Governor very tyrannical and selfish called Evilgrew. It subjected the village doing hard work to achieve prosperity and material goods only to himself, forgetting the alien welfare.


London had a reputation in the surrounding area, being a very rich and prosperous city, and all the English praised their Governor by having succeeded in creating a city like that. This to pride itself even more to the Governor who continued abusing and subjecting its people to continue its economic boom.


His only concern was to continue with factories dedicated to the manufacture of costumes, continue with their businesses dedicated to construction and increase profits year after year.

Such was his avarice and miserliness that came a moment that desired stop time and stay in that State of prosperity indefinitely.



He thought that if all the people stood in the same way, if nobody got older or dying, if everything continued as it was at the time, their wealth would be infinite forever.

With these thoughts he attended various sorcerers and magicians. I wanted to know if it was possible to freeze time and remain indefinitely in that State.

Searched and searched endlessly for the best sorcerer who could fulfill his wish. It promised great riches for anyone who could stop the time of London.

Finally he found someone willing to grant your request. The sorcerer Magan was well known for the lands of Scotland. It had carried out multitude of enchantments to Princes and princesses, dragons and even some witch.


The Evilgrew Governor carefully explained the reasons why I wanted to stop time. He offered her a large sum of gold by performing the spell. Magan accepted happy to your request.

So in this way Evilgrew returned to London where they began to feel the first moments of agitation since all London clocks stopped working.

At that time all Londoners began to realize the magnitude of the spell. From that moment nobody would grow. Day after day and year after year would continue doing the same things, always working, working and working for the great tyrant who had them subject: your Governor.


But little by little the joy of Evilgrew was disappearing when it was found that unfortunately yours for the economy not prospered. He could not understand why reason not maintained the production of their companies in the same way.




The reason was pretty clear. If anyone grew or aged, if all things remained as they were, no one would need clothes or new homes would be built. People and with them material things remain Evergreen. There would be no change nor any kind of evolution. Children would not grow, there would be no more births and households would always be maintained in the same manner.


When Evilgrew realized the implications of his spell he wished to not have asked to send it. But it was too late.


The village of Evilgrew began to feel apathy and lack of motivation which involved the fact does not improve, neither progress nor change. The situation started to become quite untenable and many workers of Evilgrew decided to go to other cities. Production had stalled, there was no work and they neither wanted to remain in that State of resignation.


The city of London each time was more empty. Evilgrew began to despair seeing already practically had no nothing. Production, neither riches nor workers which dominate.


His despair was so great that he decided to return to look for the famous sorcerer Magan and ask him to set aside the spell and the time to return to London. Could it be that now your beautiful city was about to become a ghost town. None of this could happen. That he would do without his riches? I thought again and again Evilgrew.

When he was again in front of Magan he told her everything that had been happening in London. He explained that he had not imagined the repercussions that would paralyze the time and wanted to ask you to set aside the spell.


-Hi Magan! -You said Evilgrew.


-Hello, replied the sorcerer. How is that you are again here?-asked Magan with an air of little surprise.


-Well, I've come to ask you to overturn the spell. I am now less rich than before. He has stopped everything in London. The productions of my companies have stagnated. If the city does not grow or age, if material things do not get damaged, is not needed to produce anything. There is no work there. All my workers have gone to other lands because they don't want to live in London. Please, Magan, return to us time.

That is no longer possible. I can not do that - said Magan.


-Do like that you can not?. If you are big and powerful. If you could stop it also you can re-enable it-exclaimed enraged Evilgrew.


-Only there is a way to undo the spell and I believe that you can not get it - he sincerely said Magan. You're too selfish to be able to revert it.


-I will do what is necessary. I want to have my riches. I want to be the best Governor in the country - he warmly answered Evilgrew.


-Then, I believe that you will not get it. But anyway I will explain in what consists the counter spell and you decide if you want to carry it out or not - replied Magan.


-To reverse the spell you have to create a conducive atmosphere again in your city, you have to create harmony in the environment keeping in balance the five elements: air, water, Earth, ether and metal. If you manage to get to change the energy of your lands this small seed you give it will grow and will grow and will originate a chance of a new beginning and with the return of the time - explained without much conviction Evilgrew.


-Okay!. I think that I can get this seed to grow in my land. They have always been very prosperous and vital. I do not think that there is no problem - answered proud Evilgrew thinking that the work was a breeze.


-If you think trained so do I see no inconvenience in give you the seed, but time will not return until there is a balance in the different elements that form the life and the environment.


When Magan was finished, Evilgrew left with the small seed on hand, happy because I thought that the sorcerer had put easy things.



As soon as Evilgrew came to London first thing he did was planting the seed next to its famous constructions factory. He thought that it was the most suitable place for the seed grew wrapped among all the wealth he had obtained thanks to his previous productions.


But it was not. The seed did not give signs of life and Evilgrew began to despair. I had to find a solution.


While he remembered the words of Magan was Recalling the moments he had spent with his friends and with other Governors who had come to visit him. Now already no one remembered him. Nobody wanted to know from him now that he had failed. It recalled its workers and so great efforts had been submitted to that to get to maintain the proper functioning of your company. And all that had not served for nothing, now he was broke, alone and sad.


While he thought he was crossing Street by street what remained of your beautiful city, now deserted and lifeless.


He realized the pollution of the sky. Be alarmed to see the lack of spaces dedicated to leisure and recreation. He found that water from the rivers was stagnant and there was not even small fishes swimming through your channels. Finally, unable to realize that there never would grow the seed. Now he understood that Magan would refer when he commented that it was necessary to establish balance in that city.



Crestfallen and ashamed by his actions, Evilgrew sat at the edge of the river and remained long time there waiting to find a solution.


Time passed and Evilgrew became aware that their greed caused much evil to the people of her around and as a result of their evil acts was in that situation.


He decided to do what had never before done, put to work in your city and to rebuild it again.


Step by step and stone by stone Evilgrew began to eliminate the factories and companies to leave free space to build new things. In the space that was empty he began to till the land and sowing small seeds of trees and flowers of many colours so they will help clean the air in the environment which was very polluted.


In this way and little by little Ewilgrew was rebuilding the city but this time, he rebuilt it for the good of everyone, not just for the benefit of himself.


The hard effort and the great work of Evilgrew made that it will begin to create a new atmosphere, clean and renovated. Thanks to plants air had cleared of pollution and began to be populated by new bird species. Evilgrew created a small station of debugging for the river water that had long was stagnant. That way the river also began populating of new fish species. Little by little Evilgrew was becoming aware of the importance of keeping well-maintained, skies, water and the Earth since all this impact on the welfare of all beings who inhabited it. He thought that the industry was important but should not ignore the balance of the ecosystem. Already do not you worry only create industry or companies but that it would invest time in making spaces for leisure activities and recreational areas for children where families could meet and play together.



Evilgrew first fully was proud of its work.

Every day went to see the small seed and check if it was already beginning to grow. Until one day...



-At last! - Evilgrew was excited shouting... already it is growing seed!.


The small seed began to germinate, high and robust now that the environment had the essential so that there were life. A clean and renovated environment of stagnant energy.



Evilgrew felt as if it were a new birth, felt a great happiness to see grow to their seed. Their effort was worth. And the result was wonderful.


-Since for me this small seed has meant the beginning of a new life and in honor of the start of creation I will call it Big bang - explained Evilgrew for if same.


-The seed grew high and beautiful. It gave rise to a large tree located in the Centre of London.


At that time and the sorcerer magically Magan made his appearance.



-Congratulations, Evilgrew! - said with a big smile the sorcerer. Actually he did not believe that you could get it. Your heart was too dirty full of greed and pride to be able to do something for others, but I realized that he was wrong.


-Thank Magan. I really appreciate everything you've done for me, and I regret not having asked to perform the spell, because if he had not done so I would have not been able to learn to respect neighbor and the environment. It has been a very hard work but now I'm very happy to have succeeded - explained the young Governor.


-Well, as I see that your way of thinking has changed, I think that I'll ever revert the spell - answered Magan looking askance at his small magic wand.

And with several touches of magic wand the great tree Big bang which had resulted from the small seed began to transform into a large column presided over by a large clock on top. It was a beautiful large and luminous clock that could be seen from all corners of London. And magically began to sound the twelve bells and with them the return at the time.

-Do but if sound the bells!..!?But if the clock hands are moving!...  Well, well .It has become the time and with him still life... thanks Magan, thank you very much for everything!!...-screaming Evilgrew exalted.



From that moment the city of London returned to life. They began to come to people from other cities to the great clock in London and to know the new renewed city. Although now London not already stressed by their companies and nor by its business activity, if it was to admire the perfect balance of that city. Large gardens, large squares and precious monuments made it to be one of the cities most visited and busiest across England.



Currently London maintains the memory of that time of the Ewilgrew Governor and still you can see in it the large clock in the center of the city now known as Big ben.



And also thanks to Evilgrew in many countries remains the tradition of taking the twelve grapes with the twelve chimes when it  completes a year,  since the end of the bells announces a new beginning. The new year.
