THE STORY

It's Wednesday, December twenty-fourth, Christmas Eve. After the Christmas Eve mass, Rosa's courtyard is full - Tomas, his aunts and cousins, Camila, Valeria and Sarah - around a long table with turkey, tamales and a big pot of punch. At midnight there are hugs and toasts, and after dinner, the presents - and Sarah's hammock for Valeria. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
