NAME:
Read:
She was once a girl who was very fond of words. She was always wanting to learn new words. She paid attention every time she heard a different one. She wanted to notice how it was used so that she could repeat it later. To her, they were all interesting: small, medium and large. The little words, the words and the swear words.
But the others didn't find it interesting. And sometimes, even she didn't understand herself. Or she understood others. Sometimes, she heard someone say a few huge words and couldn't even repeat it right. Like the day a man spoke in the street:
– There's a loose cobblestone… Look out.
Ana Maria Machado. “Words, little words, bad words”. Editorial Quintet. (Fragment).
