The cow was notoriously cheap, so it surprised everyone when she voted yes for the secret Santa
scheme. It was the horse’s suggestion, and she backed it immediately, saying, “I choose the turkey.” The pig, who considered himself an authority on all things gifty, cleared his throat. “That’s not actually the way it works,” he said. “It’s secret, see, so we each draw a name and keep it to ourselves until Christmas morning.” “Why do you always have to be like that?” the cow asked, and the duck sighed, “Here we go.” “First you ask me to give someone a Christmas present,” the cow continued, “and then you tell me it has to be done your way. Like, ‘Oh, I have four legs so I’m better than everyone else.’ ” “Don’t you have four legs?” the pig asked. The cow loosed something between a moan and a sigh. “All right, just because you have a curly tail,” she said.

¿Qué es el lenguaje?

Segun Google es la capacidad propia del ser humano para expresar pensamientos y sentimientos por medio de la palabra, pero estamos claros de que esto cambia dependiendo su contexto mas que todo histórico. Basta con moverte un poquito geográficamente dentro de latinoamerica para darte cuenta que lo que para ti significa algo en otro país significa algo completamente distinto.

En el siguiente episodio te invito a acercarte un poco mas al Ecuador conociendo sus expresiones, su jerga, y el contexto histórico de estas palabras.
