Giorgi Arabuli – Tom Sawyer’s Wonderful New Year

A boy dressed weirdly sat on a small, brilliantly painted fence far away in America, spinning a globe strangely. The aroma of roasted turkey wafted through the house, caressing his nostrils. Aunt Polly might be seen in the kitchen with pies in her hands in the moonlight. On the roof of the house, Christmas lights twinkled.. Tom spun the unusual globe once more, then softly opened the door and walked by the Christmas tree, as if oblivious to its brilliance. He removed the traditional Georgian outfit “Chokha” from his closet, which he had purchased from Khevsuri Giorgi while in Georgia. He returned to the garden and examined the standing globe on the table, which had only two countries marked on it. What happened to the others? Tom reclined on a wooden swing chair, wrapped in a quilt, and closed his eyes, perplexed. Songs and fireworks mixed with a delicious smell came from Aunt Polly’s kitchen, and the “Chokha fitted him perfectly.” He tried to put back one bullet-case that didn’t seem to fit. OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, The lead of the bullet-case dropped, and colourful balls spilled out. What exactly is this? Tom pondered. If I were with Giorgi, he’d explain it to me!

As soon as he said that, the globe began spinning at top speed. Suddenly, a tremendous wind blew in from nowhere, carrying everything in the air with it. Tom sat in the Swing chair for quite some time. He finally couldn’t hold on any longer and let go of the hand. He couldn’t even figure out how the odd globe snatched him.

 He heard music and recognized some phrases when he opened his eyes: “Mravalzhamier” “Ghmerti” “Sitsotskhle,” I’m in Georgia! He yelled and wore “Chokha” like a true Georgian.

How do I inform Giorgi that I’ve arrived? In his ears, he heard some noises. It’s a magical night today. Wish you had colourful balls! Tom’s fist was filled with bright balls once he opened his eyes wide. I’d like to be where Giorgi is. When the wind blew, Tom entered the lovely realm.

  There were many children in an open space, and you could hear music, laughter, and joyful dances, which enhanced the beauty of the area. Tom was staring at the Georgian snowman, perplexed, as he couldn’t figure out where Santa was. However, he soon recognized Santa in the sled with reindeer. The kids were confused as they stared at Tom. Why do you think that is? He couldn’t understand why Georgians never wore “Chokha” on their colourful trousers and finned hats, and why a thumb from the trainer didn’t make him happy. Tom heard a familiar voice, he opened his eyes wider, he listened carefully, and he began to look around. He recognized Giorgi at the colourful couch, he was happily delivering presents, and Tom froze in the same spot, returning to his own reality. Aunt Polly used to give out gifts to the homeless, orphan, and street kids, he remembered. Tom was also helping her, and Huck Finn was running around in the small town of St. Petersburg, throwing sweets at him. He was hanging Christmas toys on the fence for some.

  Someone ran over Tom, why are you standing here? The ball will be held here soon. You are going to obstruct.

 Tom muttered something. The child was puzzled. 

 – What’s your name? You appear to be stranger.

 – What’s your name, or what’s your surname?

I’m looking for Giorgi, Tom said in an awkward Georgian. He was giving out gifts some place around here, but he has since vanished.

Please use this phone to contact him. Do you have His phone number?

What exactly is this? Tom pondered, is it possible to have a phone without a line? This is something I’m not familiar with.

What?? – The second child was taken aback.

Have you ever come upon a phone?

Are you an alien?

Giorgi, one of my friends, is Khevsuri. He’s a fantastic young man. I paid him a visit once. He was handing out gifts while sitting on the couch.

That’s our Gio! Yelled a stranger. Come on, I’ll take you to him! – They hurried together, holding hands.

Giorgi was standing on stage, hugging and singing with orphan children. Tom dashed over to them and hugged Giorgi.

Remember? I promised I would return!

I promised that we would give orphans gifts for Christmas and the New Year!

Giorgi was babbling and embracing Tom in the Heart, astonished. That is a New Year’s gift. I’m overjoyed! I’m overjoyed! Tom was overjoyed as well.

  I’m Giorgi Arabuli, a happy and fortunate young man. Do you know why I’m so fortunate? God had been contemplating my birth for 16 years, and just as everyone thought he had changed his mind, I was born. That’s why I’m known as Wish Boy.

On a harsh planet, I had to commemorate the year 2022. The world was changed by the pandemic but I believe this is my year. My year is 2022, the year of the tiger. That is why I am confident that everything will work out! I want to be able to hug my friends without being afraid. Participate in the Olympic Games. I wish to aid abandoned people and children so that my mother and I can continue our favourite job. Let there be peace on Earth! Merry Christmas (Christmas greetings.)

Tekla Koridze – Scrooge’s New Year

Since Scrooge didn’t like New Year/Christmas, I think I should let him explore Georgia because Georgia celebrates New Year differently. On 1st January and also 14th January. They celebrate New Year two times. Scrooge was very amazed by Georgia’s New Year celebration, Scrooge really liked how the community behaves around guests.  After 12 a.m. they go to their neighbors and they greet them with sweets. It’s also important to add “Chichilaki” to the Christmas tree, but Scrooge was very confused about this.  In this modern world Scrooge didn’t like loud noises and fireworks kind of annoyed him. He thought   because of this kids get injured so he thought of something else. He thought of a firework that releases candy and it wouldn’t have noise either. He was happy and the kids were happy too. Scrooge went grateful to his country, he was telling his Grandsons of the Georgia celebration.  

Saba Tsirekidze – Ebenezer and Kora

Last year Ebenezer and Kora got married. On December 5 of each year they buy gilded Christmas tree toys, rains of rainbow colors, rainbow lights and everything needed to decorate a Christmas tree. Next night the robber robbed Ebenezer. The robber has taken money, toys, rains, lights because those things were very expensive. In the morning when Ebenezer found out that he had been robbed. He informed the police that he had been robbed. Police started to investigate. Police found some evidences. Six days later they found 3 men, one of them may have been a robber but none of them is a robber. After one week police said to Ebenezer that they could not find. Ebenezer and Cora started to get nervous because police couldn’t find the robber. Ebenezer hired an investigator with last money he had. The Investigator started to investigate. The investigator found evidences in one little house and the investigator went in the house. Next, he started looking for some clues. He found only a fingerprint. When the investigator compared this fingerprint with other fingerprint that he found in Ebenezer’s house were the same. When he saw that fingerprints is were the same he realized that the little house is a robber’s base. The investigator came back to the little house for more clues. He can’t found anything and then he thick: if I wait for the robber to come I can capture him. When the robber came in his base investigator captured him and brought him to the police. Police arrested the robber and found money and Christmas tree toys, rains, lights and other things and gave to Ebenezer.

When Ebenezer got back his money and Christmas tree toys Ebenezer and Cora decorated the tree again and next, they started other preparations for the New Year. Lastly, they have a very Happy New Year. The end.

Gocha Tsiklauri – New Year’s story

In one big city called London, lived a little boy named Ebenezer Scrooge. In the city where he lived, the New Year was especially celebrated. On the first day of New Year, a parade was held, which was attended by millions of people. This parade was special because the money raised in it was donated to London charities. The Ebenezer loved New Year and always looked at it. 

It’s coming. On New Year’s Eve, he would put a plate on the table before going to bed to leave Santa present for him. It was dawn on New Year’s morning. The Scrooge was 4 years old. He happily waited for the gifts, but didn’t receive them. The reason to this was death of his father, who was sending money to Santa for gifts. So it went on every year, this greatly affected the small Scrooge, from an early age he had to take care of himself. Become uncommunicative. He lost trust in other people, he only thought about collecting money to fulfill the desires he had dreamed of as a child. 

Scrooge also treated employees badly, did not give salaries to employees. In modern life, Scrooge would not be able to retain employees and would have to close the company because without employees, the company could not exist.   

Demetre Janashia – Scrooge’s Christmas Spirit

There was a man named Scrooge. He hated Christmas and usually was never celebrating it. His mood was always bad during the holidays. One day there was a knock on his door. Appeared a friend of Scrooge. The friend informed Scrooge that he lost his house and asked if he can stay. The friend was invited to stay and during his stay, they had a great time together.

One day Scrooge smiled. He had the real Christmas spirit for a couple of hours.  They went outside, it was snowing and the height of snow was covering their knees. They played snowball and made snow angels. When they got inside, they decorated the Christmas tree, which was very beautiful. Scrooge was happy, he had a good friend with him. 

In the morning his friend got missing. Scrooge looked everywhere, but couldn`t find him. Finally, he called the police, who found him and took him to the hospital. Doctors found out that he was infected by a virus and informed Scrooge, knowing this, scrooge decided to kick his friend out of the house.

After a while there was another knock on the door, it was his family wishing to stay with him. Scrooge allowed them to stay, but he was missing his friend, he knew, if there was no virus they would be all happy together. The same day he received a mail from his friend, his friend was saying goodbye to him. Scrooge realized he was not feeling well and directly went to the hospital where the doctor informed him that his friend passed away 5 minutes ago. He went to the cemetery, bought some flowers, and was crying a lot. Days went by and there was a call on the phone, it was from the lottery they said: “You won 100 thousand dollars he cried and lived happily ever after”.

In today’s world, Scrooge would be always alone without friends and family. Everyone will avoid you as a negative person. He needs to be a positive person and have more patience with people. For Christmas he would have only one wish, to have his friend with him forever.

I am Demetre, I play football very well. I want 2022 to be a year of winning the games and scoring a lot of goals.
