Look at the zebra crossing sign on the street. It

means that cars must stop and you can cross

the street.

You must still be very careful. Sometimes,there are cars that do not respect the sign.

What other signs can you see in your city?

Its Monday morning at 7:01;

Youre still half asleep, your homeworks half done;

Your showers cold, your cereals dry,

Your mother forgets to kiss you good-bye.

Youre walking to school; its only three degrees;

Your fi ngers dont work, your toes and ears freeze;

Your zippers stuck, your left sneaker squeaks;

Your backpack strap snaps, your soup thermos leaks.

You slip on the school steps; you trip in the hall;

The toilet fl oods in the bathroom stall.

The gym doors locked; the librarys the same;

The Principal greets you by the wrong name.

Your pencils are dull, the sharpener jams;

Your fi ngers get crunched when your desktop slams.

Your math partners gone, your new neighbors rude.

Your teachers again in a crabby mood.

The morning bell rings, its 8:01.

Come cozy up to the whiteboard,

Another school days begun.

Two unusual professions

Sonia Trujillo is 42 years old; she has four kids and a veryunusual job. All across Chile, there are only two female

organ grinders. Sonia is one of them.

An organ grinder is a person who plays a barrel organ in

the streets.

One of the things Sonia likes about her job is that nobody

gives orders to her. She works only at weekends, and at

the times she wants. Sometimes, her kids go with her.

Sonia loves her job and she likes to keep the tradition

because this one of Chiles most typical attractions.

Meet Donovan Jones. He is a cowboy, a real cowboy.

He rides horses and works with cattle.He wears a kind of uniform. On his head,

he wears a cowboy hat that keeps the sun

and rain out of his face. He wants his

arms free for work, so he wears a vest

instead of jackets to stay warm.

He also wears gloves, leather

chaps to protect his legs from

cactus and cattle horns, and

boots.

An important part of acowboys job is to catch

cattle and horses and to

keep them together.

This is the Old City Zoo. It is very different from the other zoos

we know.

Old Mac, the kind old zookeeper, lives in a little house next to the

zoo. He is very popular.

Every day, Old Mac gets up early and feeds the animals. Old Macnever locks the animals up.

In the afternoon, Old Mac closes the zoo gates at 6 oclock

and he returns home.

Not much happens at this zoo and not many people visit it, but

all the animals live happy and extremely lazy lives.

Drake. When he attacked Valparasoin 1578, he got a lot of booty. Hecould not take it in his ship.

Carefully, Francis Drake and hissailors walked along the coast looking for agood place to hide the booty.

They discovered a cave. It was very difficult to reach it and theythought it was a good place to leave the chest.

The years passed but nobody returned to recover the treasure.

Nowadays, when the tide goes out, it is possible to see the sea caves.

The rain stopped and Francisco went toplay under a large pine tree near his house.

When he arrived, he saw a circle of fungi

round the tree and a group of small gnomes

sitting on them. Very soon, the boy and

the gnomes were great friends.

When winter came, Franciscos father

needed wood and he decided to cut the

pine down. Francisco was worried. The

tree was the home of his little friends. The

boy wanted to save the pine, so he spent

that winter getting wood for the house.

When spring arrived, the gnomes heard

about Franciscos sacrifice. They decided

to give him a reward. They gave him a gold

chain with a large emerald. The stone had

magic powers.

That summer, a great drought caused greatdamage. Francisco could not use his magic

stone to solve the situation. The enchanted

stone could help only him.

Francisco ran to the city and sold the stone.

He used the money to buy food, clothing,

and even grain for the animals. The next

day, his neighbors found all the things in

front of their doors. There was joy and

relief.

The gnomes understood that Francisco

did not need an enchanted stone to be

happy. They gave him another gift. This

time they gave him a wooden pin.
