and disaster that will teach you English.
By John James Carty
Zuzu, Lulu and You is dedicated to the memory of Olga Inés Sierra Valencia
(Tía Inés) 18 August 1952 – 4 June 2009
CHAPTER TWO
MY ROOTS
Hello, Zuzu here! I know that some of you earth people have been confused by my story so far. But it’s simple: I come from the planet Hamoco, which is very far away. It’s millions of miles from planet Earth.
I can’t say I was born there because my mother was in Spain at the time, but that’s where I come from. Many of my relatives still live on Hamoco.
For example, my grandma and grandad, some uncles, three aunts and several cousins.
My grandparents on my father’s side come from Bilbao. The city of Bilbao isn’t much like Hamoco, but it’s quite nice.
I liked my life on Hamoco but I had to come to Earth because it has oranges and Zucaritas; there are no oranges or Zucaritas on planet Hamoco.
The Earth has only one sun and a moon, but Hamoco has a sun and three moons. Our sun is called ‘the sun’. Our moons are called Estorno, Bostoso and Koff.
We have just one star in our sky. It is all alone. Its name is Klineks.I came to your world via – oops, sorry, I have to hide this, my big sister Lulu is coming. She’s twelve. I love my sister but she’s like an old woman and she talks like my grandma.
Bye for now, see you soon, ZUZU
HELLO, I’M LULU. I haven’t got much time so please sit up straight and read what I have to say.
I know Zuzu but you don’t know him yet. He has a dislocated sense of reality. We have spoken to doctors about him but they just shrug and say well, he’s seven. I think doctors are quite frivolous.
Anway, some things in Zulu’s first story weren’t exactly true. I must admit that he has a pet that eats carrots – that’s true – but it’s not a gorilla, it’s a rabbit.
It’s also true that Mom doesn’t like it but that’s because it stinks.
It is a fact that he has a pet under his bed but this is not a snake, it’s a white mouse.
The biggest lie in his story is that this pet eats his socks; this is untrue. Any creature that ate Zuzu’s socks would DIE!
Anyway, I hope you like www.ingles-gratis123.com. It’s quite frivolous too, but at least it tries to teach you. We should all try to teach, in my opinion.
Now, isn’t it past your bed time?
