“Why do they write in Spanish?”
Kay asks.
“Well, you see, way back in the
past, men from Spain came to Mexico.
Becau se the men from Spain spoke
and wrote Spanish, the Mexicans
began to talk and write in Spanish,
too. And that is why, to this day, lots
of Mexicans still talk and write in
Spanish .”
“But what do the words say?”
“Let me see,” says Kay’s mom. “I
took a Spanish class. Martez says, ‘You
are my best pal. See you soon!’”
Kay hugs the card and shouts,
“Martez is the best!”
