 One fine Summer's day
Little Red Riding Hood was walking through the woods with
a basket of freshly baked muffins for her sick
grandmother, who lived in a cottage in the middle of the
forest. On her way to her grandmothers house, she felt
that someone was following her so she programmed her
mobile that she got for Christmas to ring a big strong
lumberjack. Halfway to her grandmother's house, she was
certain she saw a wolf tracking her down so she attached
a voice-tag to the lumberjack's number so when she yelped
"Help!" the phone would ring out. At Little Red
Riding Hood's grandmother's house, she noticed something
weird about her grandma, lying in bed. She had teeth that
were way too big, a big nose and fur! So she yelled
"Help!" and Bill the lumberjack came to the
cottage and killed the wolf and they all lived happily
ever after!

Hansel and Gretel - the
alternative version Once upon a
time, there were two foolish little children, called
Hansel and Gretel. One day a box suddenly appeared on
their doorstep, and two curious little bleepy things were
inside. Suddenly one of the bleepy things started
talking, saying "Ha Ha Ha Come to my candy house you
stupid little children! You'll have lots of fun! Ha Ha
Ha" The curious voice sounded like a scraggy old
woman.
Hansel
looked at the bleepy thing for a minute, looked noble and
said these historic words "I declare this bleepy
thing as a 'mobile phone'" "Where did you get
those stupid words form?" squeaked Gretel. "I
don't know" replied Hansel. "I had a moment of
inspiration"
Gretel
said "Come on lets go to the curious old woman's
house and see what kind of candy she has there" But
Gretel I'm scared" replied a paranoid Hansel.
"What if the candy has a load of E-numbers? It will
be unhealthy" "Oh Hansel don't be so
worried" replied Gretel in a comforting tone.
"I'm sure there are plenty of curious old women who
have their house made out of candy. Let's go!"
And so
they walked happily into the woods not forgetting to
bring their mobile phones (bleepy things). Eventually,
they reached the house which was made completely out of
chocolate. The children were really excited and they
didn't notice that the old woman had led them into a
monkeys cage. "Ha Ha Ha" laughed the scraggy
old woman "I have led you stupid little children
into my trap. Now I will cook you for supper" And so
the two children cried while the old woman got her stove
ready. Suddenly Hansel had an idea "I know I' ll
phone the police" "Help Help I'm trapped in a
monkey cage with my sister inside a house made of
chocolate with a witch who is about to cook us for
supper"
"What?"
"You've
got to help us"
"Listen
is this a prank? We don't believe in rubbish like that
you fools"
And so
Hansel and Gretel were cooked alive and the old woman
enjoyed a good supper.
The
moral of the story. Don't trust
mobile phones.

   Recycling
  
A
phone donated to Oxfam for recycling is worth £5.
Donating a Nokia 3310 could enable Oxfam to provide a
mosquito net to protect a child from Malaria.

Life before mobiles. An aid worker
based in Sierra Leone in the 1980's says "I had to
take two days off in order to make a phone call
home". Recycling phones works. Over
£35,000 has been raised for charities by recycling
phones and printer cartridges.
