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.



I WALKED AND WALKED WHEN I GOT

TO THE LAND OF THE HANDLEGS. YES, YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT. THESE ARE

CREATURES THAT HAVE LEGS

INSTEAD OF ARMS AND HANDS

INSTEAD OF LEGS. THIS, OF COURSE, MEANS THAT THEY WALK ON THEIR

HANDS AND EAT WITH THEIR FEET.

SO, WHAT, THEY STILL DID

EVERYTHING WITH THEIR FEET. I TELL

YOU, EVERYTHING I DO WITH MY

HANDS.

THEY WERE JUST PREPARING DINNER.

OH, I SAID TO MYSELF, PHEW, THEY'RE

GOING TO COOK DINNER WITH THEIR

FEET. BUT THAT WON'T BE GOOD.

HOWEVER, THE FOOD WAS VERY

DELICIOUS, EVEN AS GOOD AS I HAVE

NEVER EATEN BEFORE. AFTER THE

TRIP, WHEN I GOT BACK HOME, I TRIED TO COOK WITH MY FEET, BUT I NEVER SUCCEEDED.





I ATE SO MUCH THAT I FELL A SLEEP

RIGHT THERE, AT THEIR TABLE. THE

NEXT DAY, I PLAYED AND HAD FUN

WITH HANDLEGS ALL DAY. WE PLAYED

VARIOUS GAMES THAT I DIDN'T

KNOW BEFORE. I HELPED THEM

PREPARE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH, AFTER LUNCH WE ALL WENT TO REST

AND THEN WE WENT FOR A WALK

TOGETHER.

EVERY DAY I DID SOMETHING NEW

AND INTERESTING WITH THE

HANDLEGS. WHEN IT SNOWED, WE

WENT SLEDDING, AND IN THE

SUMMER WE PLAYED IN THE

SANDBOX. THE TIME WITH THE

HANDLEGS WAS WONDERFUL, BUT

ONE DAY I HEARD A CALL THAT

INVITED ME FORWARD TO NEW

LANDS.



I THANKED THE HANDLEGS FOR THE

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCES. FOR A SOUVENIR, THEY GAVE ME THEIR BEST

DISH, MILK PORRIDGE, WHICH I ATE

DELICIOUSLY FOR A LONG TIME

AFTERWARDS. I LEFT THE LAND OF

THE HANDLEGS AND TRAVELED TO

THE NEW LANDS OF OUR WORLD.
