Story Number Six from the Mexican Ambassadors

Does any of this story sound stereotyped?

Once in a land not too far away (but in order to show the differences between the main characters I have to say far), a 12 year old named Miguel has just moved from Mexico to Canada.  Miguel was feeling very nervous because he didn’t speak a word of English.  One day, when he was eating his burrito peacefully, Arnold (An America) came and threw Miguel’s burrito on the ground.  Miguel stared as what was left of his burrito when one of the Canadians came to help.
            “Are you okay?”  Oh no!  Your burrito!  Here, let me help! I am Carol by the way.”
            The next day, Carol tried his best to be friends with Miguel.  “Hi!  Do you want to hang out after school today?  Oh!  Am I bothering you?  Okay… sorry…. Well, see you!”
            It clearly  had not worked out.  Miguel was feeling sadder and sadder by each passing day.  He was always being bullied by Arnold.  Arnold kept asking, “Where is your sombrero?  I own you!”

            What Arnold didn’t realize is that Carol had heard everything that he had said to Miguel.  So, Carol organized the next day that half the school would wear a sombrero and eat either a taco or a burrito.  That is what happened to make Arnold realize his mistakes and he eventually surrendered.  Now, because of that, Miguel and Carol are best friends.  Even though they don’t speak the same language.

  1. Yes because we don't eat burritos everyday and we don't wear sombreros everyday. :D ;)
    Your story was cool because it seems that Canadian people are friendly and helpful.
    Have a nice trip we're waiting for you to come.

  2. PERFECT STORY!!! I loved it. The beginning was hilarious and I laughed a lot (mainly because I'm in a good mood) and I think you didn't stereotyped too much. It's true that we don't eat burritos all the time (we like more tacos, enchiladas, mole, etc.) and we don't dress in our typical clothes anymore. But I think you showed a Great point of view regarding our old traditions and showing that if we work together, we can make great things.
