The path around the world is a path we walk from birth onwards. The countries that the main character visits in the story are different periods of our lives. The experiences in these stories show our perception of life in a humorous way. For example, the land of the giants is the period when we are babies or small children and everything around us is huge and upside down when viewed from the stroller. In each country, we also learn a new Spanish word.

Read all the stories and find out for yourself in which period of your trip each country is. I wish you lots of fun reading and don’t forget to learn all the Spanish words.





THE SWEET LAND WAS LEFT BEHIND

ME, AND A NEW ONE WAS ALREADY

VISIBLE IN THE DISTANCE. SOON, I WAS BACK TO HOW I WAS BEFORE, THE BUBBLE DISAPPEARED, AND I COULD ONCE AGAIN JUMP, CLIMB

TREES, AND DO EVERYTHING I LOVE TO

DO. IT WAS ALREADY EVENING WHEN I SAW A SIGN WITH THE INSCRIPTION

MOUSE HOTEL.

R A T Ó N H O T E L





I CAN SLEEP HERE, I THOUGHT, AND

HEADED TO THE HOTEL. WHEN I ENTERED, I GREETED NICELY, AND

THEY GREETED ME BACK. I LOOKED

SURPRISED BECAUSE THERE WERE

ONLY MICE IN THE HOTEL. "WELCOME

TO OUR HOTEL," SAID THE HEAD

MOUSE, "WOULD YOU LIKE A ROOM?"

"YES, PLEASE, I'M VERY TIRED AND MY

LEGS HURT, COULD I STAY WITH YOU

FOR A FEW DAYS?"

THE MOUSE MADE ME HAPPY BECAUSE

THEY LOVE NEW GUESTS. SINCE I WAS A FOREIGNER, THEY BROUGHT DINNER

RIGHT TO MY ROOM. AFTER DINNER, I FELL ASLEEP SWEETLY. THE NEXT

MORNING, I WENT TO THE BIG HALL, IN WHICH THEY HAD ONLY ROUND

TABLES BEAUTIFULLY COVERED IN

COLORFUL TABLECLOTHS THAT

REACHED TO THE FLOOR.



HOW THICK I LOOKED, AND I WIPED MY

EYES TWICE, BECAUSE THERE WERE

CATS SITTING AT THE TABLES, AND

MICE WERE SERVING THEM. HAVE YOU

EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS? THE

MICE SAT ME DOWN AT ONE OF THE

TABLES AND THE CATS STARTED

ASKING ME WHERE I WAS FROM AND

WHERE I WAS GOING. THEY KEPT

ASKING, SO I TOLD THEM TO LEAVE ME

FOR A WHILE, SO THAT I COULD AT

LEAST EAT MY BREAKFAST.





BUT THEY FROWNED AND LEFT.

BORING CATS, I THOUGHT. MOUSE'S

HOTEL WAS REALLY SOMETHING

SPECIAL. IF I HADN'T SEEN IT, I WOULD

NEVER HAVE BELIEVED THAT MICE

AND CATS CAN BE FRIENDS AND

EVEN HELP EACH OTHER. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CATS HELPED THE MICE TO

BUILD HOUSES BECAUSE THEY ARE

STRONGER THAN THE MICE, AND THE

MICE COOKED FOR THEM IN RETURN

BECAUSE THEY WERE EXCELLENT

COOKS.





ALTHOUGH STAYING IN THE HOTEL

WAS GREAT AND THE MICE WERE

FRIENDLY, I SLOWLY GOT BORED AND

WANTED TO MOVE ON. THE MICE HAD

A HARD TIME SAYING GOODBYE TO

ME, BUT THEY GAVE ME A PINK

MOTORCYCLE FOR THE TRIP SO THAT

MY LEGS WOULDN'T HURT ANYMORE. I STILL HAVE THE PINK BIKE TO THIS

DAY.

Have you ever been to a special place called a

hospital?
