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 MAGICAL FOREST WAS ALREADY

FAR BEHIND US, AND THE NEW LAND

WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. I SAW A BIG HOUSE WITH LETTERS AND

NUMBERS ON IT AND MANY OTHER

THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW. "YOU, THERE, ON THE PINK MOTORBIKE, GO

STRAIGHT TO THE LEARNED HEAD!" I HEARD A STERN VOICE. "SHOULD I CLIMB INTO MY HEAD?" I ASKED AND

LOOKED TOWARDS THE VOICE.

ESCUELA





THERE STOOD A GREAT LONG

TALKING STICK. "TO THE LEARNED

HEAD, THIS IS THE HOUSE BEFORE

WHICH YOU STAND!" REPLIED THE

STICK STERNLY. "WHY IS IT CALLED

THAT?" I ASKED IT. "BECAUSE HERE

THE CHILDREN LEARN UNTIL THEY

HAVE AN EDUCATED HEAD," SHE

ANSWERED SERIOUSLY. "WHAT KIND

OF HEADS DO THEY GET?" I ASKED IN

AMAZEMENT. "LEARNED HEADS, LITTLE

GIRL, THOSE ARE THE HEADS THAT

KNOW SOMETHING."

"AH, WELL, THEN I'M ALREADY A LEARNED HEAD, I'M EVEN VERY

LEARNED, BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW

EVERYTHING," I ANSWERED QUICKLY.

"OOOH," SAID THE ROD. "YOU STILL

HAVE A LOT TO LEARN. CAN YOU EVEN

READ?" "I CAN EAT AND DRESS

MYSELF, I CAN CLIMB TREES, I CAN

SWIM," I ANSWERED. "WHOA, WHOA, RIGHT INTO THE LEARNED HEAD!"

SAID THE STICK AND DIRECTED ME

TO THE BIG HOUSE.



I STAYED HERE FOR QUITE A LONG

TIME. EVERY DAY I WENT TO THE

LEARNED HEAD AND DILIGENTLY

LEARNED NEW THINGS UNTIL ONE

DAY THE STICK ANNOUNCED: "YOU

HAVE BECOME A LEARNED HEAD; YOU

CAN MOVE ON." I WAS HAPPY AND

PROUD BECAUSE I LEARNED A LOT. AS

A SOUVENIR, THE STICK GAVE ME A BIG THICK BOOK WHICH HAD EYES

AND EARS.





I LOOKED AT THE BOOK AND TURNED

IT TO ALL SIDES, BUT I COULDN'T

OPEN IT. "STOP TURNING ME, IT

HURTS!" THE BOOK SUDDENLY SAID.

"GET ON THE MOTORBIKE AND LET'S

GO, HURRY UP. I'LL OPEN IT WHEN YOU

NEED IT." I QUICKLY PUT IT IN MY

GREEN BAG, AND BEFORE SHE

COMPLAINED AGAIN, I WAS ALREADY

WALKING AWAY.

But school is an experience, right? And how much we

learn in it, incredible.
