L'aperitivo - 3 minutes Italian

La Patasola es una leyenda popular en las regiones montañosas y selváticas de Colombia. Se dice que era una mujer hermosa que, en vida, fue muy infiel y malvada, y por su comportamiento, fue castigada. En su condena, perdió una pierna y fue transformada en una criatura aterradora, con una sola pierna deformada y afilada como un gancho.

La Patasola vive en los bosques y selvas, y es conocida por atraer a los hombres que se alejan del campamento o del camino, seduciéndolos con su belleza. Primero, se aparece como una mujer joven y encantadora, pero cuando logra que sus víctimas se acerquen, revela su verdadera forma monstruosa, con colmillos afilados y su pierna mutilada, y ataca sin piedad.

A veces, La Patasola es considerada una especie de vengadora de los hombres infieles o malvados. Para protegerse de ella, se dice que es necesario no andar solo en la selva y evitar cualquier figura misteriosa que aparezca en la distancia.

Lily's Chinese 对话

20240125毛泽东自传

In this story, a snowman named Jingle is a selfish husband whose job is more important than his marriage. This is Part 4 of 5. 

The dance group had met in the morning for a quick rehearsal. Today was their last day to practice before the big show. 

Even though the other dancers commented that it was already good enough, Jingle and the winking snowwoman worked very hard on their close embrace. 

Then, while everyone was packing up, getting ready to go distribute their flyers… 

Ding-ding ding-ding 

The ringing came from behind Jingle. He said, “Ugh… Doesn’t Candy know how stressed I am? What does she want now?” 

He turned, but instead of his wife, he saw his snowman neighbour. Confused, Jingle went over to talk. 

“You look disturbed,” said Jingle. 

“It’s Candy. She’s been hit by a car.” 

Jingle was shocked. He noticed the neighbour was holding a candy cane. 

“This is her cane. I picked it up after the accident. I immediately called an ambulance and she was taken straight to the hospital. It’s bad, Jingle, really bad. Come with me, let’s go together.” 

Jingle hesitated. He looked at the candy cane, then at the dance group in the distance. Then back at the candy cane. 

“Thank you for bringing me this. But I can’t go with you. I’ve got to distribute these flyers today. It’s our last chance, and the whole group is counting on me. They need me. Tell Candy I’ll be there after work.”
