Hello, My name is Juan, and this is my brother Kino.
Hello
We grow corn. In fact, corn is our lives. We eat corn, we sleep on corn,
and our house is made of corn. We would eat something else, but we
don't have the money to buy it. We could sell the corn, but then we'd
have nothing to eat. Other than than that, we're fairly happy. We don't
have any major problems, other than that we can't stand corn!
We have been eating corn our whole lives. We eat corn tacos and we
make the shells out of corn. We would put meat on them, but we have no
meat, and we can't sell the corn to buy it because, as I said before, we'd
starve. So, we just use corn instead of the meat. Okay, that might be
okay for a while, but we do this every day. I am getting sick of corn.
One day, we actually saved up enough to buy some meat. We went over to
ExtraStore and bought some meat. Well, as luck would have it, the meat
was actually made out of corn. We looked at the label after we ate it,
and it said "Ingredients: corn".
So, you kinda get the idea of what we go through. At least, that's what we used to go through. There's kind of a funny story behind that.
Uh-huhYou see, one day, we got a bright idea that more light would make the corn grow better. We thought that maybe if we shone more light on the corn, it would grow better. So, Kino got this big mirror, and we put it on the roof of the house. It worked for a while, at least. Then, some of the older corn got a bit hot, and it started on fire. well, we ran over to the house to get some water, but it was kind of late. The corn had caught our house on fire. We already said our house was made out of corn, but now is where it is really important. You see, we were picking corn when the corn started on fire. We ran over to our neighbours' house, Pablo and Marina, to borrow some water to put out the fire, but we still had some corn in our pockets.
It started their house on fire.Yeah, in the end, both our houses burned down. We had to go live on the streets in the city. We can grow a bit of corn, but we have to substitute some of the corn for rats. Don't get me wrong, though, the rats are sure better than corn. We are actually making some money off the rats. You see, we are selling Rat Tacos. No, seriously. We are making tacos with rats in them, and selling them as an alternative to corn. Yeah, it would be working better, except that Pablo lost his arm when he was hunting down rats.
Yeah, he had one cornered, and it attacked him. Little bugger bit his arm clean offSo, if it weren't for that, we'd be rich, but we're still living on the streets, selling out of both of our shops. Yep. we're franchised. We have one store on the east side, and one on the west side. We are now making twice as much money as before, plus we're immune to the plague. But hey, we're kinda busy, so we'd better get back to work. Until next time, this is Juan, and my brother Kino saying, "Hey! Buddy! Wanna buy a rat taco?!?
