El sólo quiso volar. El sólo quiso cantar. El sólo quiso amar. Pero el mundo lo olvidó.

Superhombre ... de vacaciones en Santiago, Chile
Clark Kent (estaba) de vacaciones en Santiago, Chile. Una tarde lo (llamó) Lois Lane del diario El Planeta para decirle que hace unos minutos todos los animales del Jardin Zoológico en Santiago se (escaparon ) misteriosamente de sus jaulas. En ese mismo momento Clark (oyó) unos ruidos extraños afuera. Clark (salió) a la calle para investigar. ¡Qué sorpresa! Primero Clark (vio) unas cebras, después llamas y por fin unos guanacos en la parada de los autobuses. Y más tarde él (encontró) unos tigres blancos y una gorila en el jardín. También (había) muchos otros animales por todas partes. Mientras unos camellos (bebían) agua de la fuente, unos cisnes (nadaban) en la piscina del hotel. ¡Cuando unas llamas (comieron) vorazmente sus verduras frescas, un vendedor en el mercado (tuvo) mucho miedo! ¡Qué confusión!
Inmediatamente Clark se (puso) su super capa roja y (voló) al zoológico. ¡Allí Superhombre (encontró) al zoólogo en una jaula! El zoólogo le (dijo) que el enemigo maléfico de Superhombre, Lex Luther, (hipnotizó) los animales. Por eso los animales (obedecían) a Lex Luther y (aterrorizaban) a la gente del pueblo. Para romper el encanto alguien (tenía) que tocar una canción secreta. ¿Pero qué canción? ¡Entonces de repente todos los animales (empezaron) a correr locamente por la calle hacia una guardería infantil donde (jugaban) muchos niños!
En años pasados cuando Superhombre (necesitaba) ayuda, a veces (llamaba) a su buen amigo, El Hombre Araña. Y esta vez le (dijo) <<¡Hombre Araña , necesito tu ayuda! Encuéntrame enfrente de la escuela primaria. ¡Tenemos que evitar un desastre!>> Cuando Superhombre (llegó), El Hombre Araña lo (esperaba). Superhombre (sabía) que El Hombre Araña (tenía) un talento muy útil y le (pidió)<<¡Construye una telaraña enorme para capturar los animales!>>
Dentro de poco tiempo los dos superhéroes (capturaron) los elefantes, los leones, los rinocerontes, los tapires, las tortugas, los canguru, los avestruces, los cisnes, etc. en la teleraña. Pero Superhombre todavía (necesitaba) resolver un problema. Se (sentó) para concentrarse más. Entonces...Superhombre (tuvo) una idea inspirada. Increíblemente nuestro héroe (rompió) el encanto cuando (tocó) la canción secreta-¡El carnaval de los animales! Con esto Superhombre (salvó) a los niños en la escuela con la ayuda de El Hombre Araña. Mientras el zoólgo (regresaba) al zoológico en un desfile de animales confundidos, Superhomre (hacía) planes para su próximo encuentro con su enemigo, Lex Luther.

Activity 1:
Octavio Paz writes the Mexican has no problems with death that he "... chases after it, mocks it, courts it, hugs it, sleeps with it, it is his favorite plaything and his most lasting love." In your opinion, how is this idea similar to or different from our "United States" view on death?

Not only the tastes of the bread vary, but also the shape. It can be in a basic round shape, or the shape of a human or animal (sometimes a rabbit’s profile).
What do children love to eat?
Children love to eat the skull candies that sometimes have their name on them.
What is the purpose of having a glass of water at the altar?
It is essential to have a glass of water at the altar because after the long journey here the souls are tired and thirsty.
In your own words, describe the cemeteries in Mexico? What do you like or dislike about the cemetery decorations?
The cemeteries in Mexico are filled with sights and scents. There are often tons of flowers and candles around the gravesites, as well as pictures of the dead. The cemeteries are re-painted and cleaned up just for Day of the Dead. Musicians also play favorite songs of the dead. Families visit the gravesites, and a priest is often nearby. I like how the graves are made bright form the candles and flowers, and how families are there paying tribute to their deceased family members.
Look at the two recipes along the right side of the page. Would you eat either one of these recipes? What do you like and do not like about each?
I would eat Cajeta Crème Brulee with Mexican Chocolate sauce because I like sweets, and the ingredients look very good. I think the chocolate sauce would go great with the crème brulee. There is nothing about this recipe that I do not like. But, I would not drink horchata because I think that the blended rice and cinnamon would not taste good in a drink.
