00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,480
Hello, my name is Beatriz Montero, and today I'm going to tell you a holiday in India,

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:16,550
a story I wrote in my bilingual English-Spanish book, Two Words, Los Mundos.

3
00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:21,750
On Monday, Grandmother Carmela raced with her red suitcase.

4
00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:26,469
Grandma Carmela was inside the suitcase!

5
00:00:26,469 --> 00:00:29,230
Hmm, a holiday?

6
00:00:29,230 --> 00:00:30,629
Where are we going?

7
00:00:30,629 --> 00:00:34,229
Grandma Carmela, to India!

8
00:00:34,229 --> 00:00:39,950
On Tuesday, Grandmother Carmela gets things out of her suitcase.

9
00:00:39,950 --> 00:00:44,810
Birds, cushions, candles, a sacred cow, rice powder.

10
00:00:44,810 --> 00:00:46,270
Rice powder?

11
00:00:46,270 --> 00:00:47,890
asks Punky.

12
00:00:47,890 --> 00:00:55,189
Grandma Carmela tells them that the rice powder is for drawing circles on the ground.

13
00:00:55,189 --> 00:01:02,009
The Indian ants walk through those circles so they don't come inside the house.

14
00:01:02,009 --> 00:01:07,510
I want to draw the path of the ants, says Pinkie.

15
00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:10,390
Punky wants to be a cow.

16
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:14,730
I wanna be a cow.

17
00:01:14,730 --> 00:01:18,670
So people will give him many gifts.

18
00:01:18,670 --> 00:01:23,989
On Wednesday, Grandmother Camilla closes the windows of the house.

19
00:01:23,989 --> 00:01:28,390
It's very hot in India.

20
00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:32,870
Then she lights incense sticks with a match.

21
00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:37,709
Mmm, it smells like perfume.

22
00:01:37,709 --> 00:01:40,430
Mmm, says Pinky.

23
00:01:40,430 --> 00:01:45,930
On Thursday, Grandmother Camilla gets out clothes of the suitcase.

24
00:01:45,930 --> 00:01:55,049
A kurta is for Punky, and a sari is for Pinky.

25
00:01:55,049 --> 00:02:05,390
Hmm, my shirt is a girl's nightdress, says Punky, and my dress is a scarf, says Pinky.

26
00:02:05,390 --> 00:02:11,949
Grandmother Carmela drew them a third eye, a yellow mole, on the forehead.

27
00:02:11,949 --> 00:02:21,849
On Friday they heard a strange noise inside the basket.

28
00:02:21,849 --> 00:02:27,129
Grandma Carmela, what's that? asked Punky.

29
00:02:27,129 --> 00:02:37,400
Grandma Carmela lifts the lid of the basket and out sticks the neck of a cobra.

30
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,400
Punky almost falls back in shock.

31
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:57,439
Grandmother Carmela plays the flute, and the snake begins to dance until it is hypnotized.

32
00:02:57,439 --> 00:03:08,909
Grandmother Carmela pulls the cobra on her neck, and nothing happens.

33
00:03:08,909 --> 00:03:14,750
Grandma Carmela is a super hero!

34
00:03:14,750 --> 00:03:26,669
On Saturday Pinkie is a sacred cow and Punky plays with hands one two three one two three

35
00:03:26,669 --> 00:03:29,530
shoop one two three

36
00:03:29,530 --> 00:03:35,469
On Sunday is the last day of the holiday everyone is very sad

37
00:03:35,469 --> 00:03:41,370
Today we'll have a great party, says Grandma Carmela.

38
00:03:41,370 --> 00:03:44,909
She cooks cheese balls very tasty.

39
00:03:44,909 --> 00:03:53,650
At night, Grandmother Carmela tells Indian stories in the light of candles.

40
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:59,110
It has been a wonderful holiday, says Pinky.

41
00:03:59,110 --> 00:04:13,069
Next time we'll have a holiday in Japan," says Grandma Carmela.
