The Castle of Smiles – Children’s Rights

In a gloomy valley there lived a castle where a very lazy ogre lived. He was so lazy and greedy that he always managed to get others to work for him without pay. On the day he received the biggest job he had ever received, he decided to trick the neighbouring villages and made all the children work without any breaks. The tale is inspired by Principle 9 of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child: Children should not be employed until they reach the minimum age required and should be protected from all forms of neglect, cruelty and exploitation. It includes the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in resolution 1386 (XVI) of 20 November 1959.
