Intelligence is a quality which can be nurtured through practice and experience. I have found that when I regularly practice my language skills, I gradually become more fluent in speaking. 

I know for sure that we are all intelligent. Let's make this our word of the day. We shall proceed to construct sentences with five different variations. Let's go for an intelligent mind! 

Joy to Our World

I am intelligent! 

Desde un humilde pueblo con Laguna de la Costa Mirandina en Venezuela le extendemos UN calido pero sabroso saludo a los italkoescucha que me escuchan desde cualquier parte del globo terraqueo.

En Venezuela no celebramos Los Viernes 13 como lo celebran en Estados Unidos, pero tenemos muchas historias interesantes que compartir tambien para Este dia.

"Si El Domingo cae quincena, desde El viernes SE celebra" o "Fin de Semana Cayo quincena y Tengo real pa' rumbear en Chirimena" son Los lemas de Los lugareños con ganas de comenzar la fiesta.

Hoy saldrá "El bañador"/ "La bañadora" o "Los Bañadores"??? Lo malo de salir y no amanecer en El Lugar es El Camino de Vuelta, por la madrugada.

Mucha Gente SE ha desaparecido sin causa ni razon alguna, no aparece ni El cuerpo, ni rastro ni pista, muchos creen que fue caiman, otros dicen que la recluta (alistamiento militar), pero muchos estan convencidos de que son Los encantos de la Laguna de Tacarigua.

Y es que en Venezuela CADA pueblo tiene una historia popular bastante similar catalogado como #MitosYLeyendas Venezolanas.

En la Laguna de Tacarigua o Tacarigua de la Laguna dicen que salen "espantos" o "encantos".

Te asustan y espantan dependiendo de TU Energia o TU aura o sencillamente tu augurio ya que si Ellos quieren Ellos te ayudan con Buena pezca a cambio de Luz de velas (veladoras) y oraciones a las animas benditas que estan en El pulgatorio, todos Los lunes a partir de Las 7 de la Noche.

UN pueblito con muchas carencias pero con Mucha fe y una Energia espiritual infinita.

Asi que Atento y presta todas las atenciones y que no te sorprendan los chapuzones, gritos y las voces de ultratumba en la obscuridad...

...¡Feliz Viernes 13!. 

#elenatienelallave pero @marielenmerceds #telasuelta

Viernes 13 desde Venezuela, Gracias Dios, Gracias "Chanchamire", Gracias Gracias TACARIGUA GRACIAS

“什么？” 王后对魔镜大喊，
“谁比我更美？” 
“白雪公主。” 魔镜说。
"What?" the queen shouted at her mirror.
"Who is more beautiful than I am?"
"Snow White," the mirror said.

王后非常生气。
“大家都说白雪公主很美！
说她很善良，很完美！
我可不信！” 
The queen was very angry.
"Everyone says Snow White is so pretty!
She's so nice, so perfect!
I don't believe it!"

那天晚上，王后在村庄里和猎人见面。
猎人带着一把斧子。
王后在他耳边说了几句悄悄话。
然后给了他一些金币。
That night the queen met a hunter in the village.
He carried an ax.
The queen whispered in his ear.
Then she gave him some gold coins.
