We are not the only ones who don't understand

Sometimes I get very tired of sitting in the classroom, so my teacher shows me different parts of the city. For example, we went the grocery store one day and she quizzed me on the names of the fruits and vegetables. It helps to break up the day!

This week she took me to a part of the town market where they sell second-hand American clothes for very cheap prices. She told me that Guatemalan people buy them because they are so cheap, but often times the t-shirts have writing in English that the purchaser does not understand. She once saw a Mayan Indian man wearing a t-shirt that said, “Woman of the Year!”
