The owner spoke, as if he was a host on a TV cooking show. 

“Both these dishes are mighty fine, and soon it will be revealed which will take the title of World’s Best Main Meal.” 

The owner prepared his chopsticks and reached to pick up Little Ball. But then, a mysterious noise sounded, a kind of ring-ring. 

“Ugh, what is it now?” groaned the owner as he returned to the living room. 

Little Ball turned to the serving of shredded, dried kelp. “Did you hear that? World’s Best! That’s us. You’ve got no chance at winning the title.” 

Dried Kelp, who hadn’t made a sound or a movement until now, slowly came to life and said, 
“Whatever, dude, titles are for books…” 

Little Ball whispered to its 5-piece family, “Pfffft, did you hear that? I know Dried Kelp secretly wants the title and we can’t let it win. If it does, then the owner will look down on us, and shame us, and never buy us ever again. We will bring shame to all the unborn octopus balls. No. I won’t allow it. Dried Kelp is the side dish and we’re the main dish.” 

Raising its voice to an intimidating roar, Little Ball, with all of its power, said, “We’re six large balls, but you’re only a few dozen little strips. Good luck beating us!” 

Dried Kelp took a moment to think. “It’s not the amount of pieces that’s important; It’s the owner’s experience that truly matters.” 

Little Ball was confused. Did Dried Kelp just prove my point? We’re less in numbers, but far superior, thought the bite-sized mashed octopus ball. “Exactly, pieces don’t matter—it’s about flavor! And you’re bland!” 

Dried Kelp seemed insulted, or so Little Ball thought.

#21 Short story /  Buying Mittens ep1 / storytelling // N3 Level

EL SOMBRERO CHARRO.

El sombrero charro fue parte del estereotipo del nacionalismo mexicano del siglo XX. El charro fue un pintoresco representante del folclor de México que se convirtió –y con ello, su característico atuendo– en un personaje mítico y que más tarde daría un salto a la industria cinematográfica para conocer la fama. Quizá su origen no tenga tanta relevancia como su trascendencia cultural, pero no es casualidad que ahí, como parte de ese universo simbólico, su sombrero se consolidara también como un señuelo de la identidad mexicana.

Una aproximación hacia el origen del sombrero charro nos exige adentrarnos en el mundo de significaciones que vieron nacer al mítico personaje del charro mexicano. Porque si algo nos debe quedar claro es que la construcción simbólica de este encuentra su apogeo en la Época de Oro del cine mexicano –aunque desde muchos años atrás ya se concebía– y en donde su original vestimenta es el sello indiscutible de lo mexicano. Sí, el charro se constituyó a través de los valores ideológicos de la época apelando a los sentimientos más que la razón. Por esos tiempos, el cine volvió algo idiosincrásico: aquella chaqueta bordada, corta y entallada, a ese pantalón ajustado y ese enorme sombrero jarano de ala ancha.

El discurso nacionalista que se esparcía después de la Revolución Mexicana propició diversas transformaciones en nuestro país. La aproximación más cercana al nacimiento del charro no se da en este periodo sino mucho antes; con el ranchero y el jinete –aunque algunos historiadores sugieren a los chinacos como una figura predecesora–. Pero, el jinete se refería más que nada al hombre de campo, aquel que peleó junto con Emiliano Zapata en la Revolución Mexicana.
