Super Rallo - A Story by Julio Santiago

Julio, 13, and I translated this from the Spanish using Google translate.



Once upon a time there was a superhero. Yes, a superhero, but when he was born, he was just a regular person. When he was ten years old, he started to play video games. When he was thirteen, he was bored with video games, and his mother told him, "Son, come eat!"

When she saw that he was sad in a proper way, she said, "What happened?"

And her son told her, "I don't want to go to school."

And his mother said, "Here in New York, all the kids have to go. I'm sorry, son, but we are leaving on vacation tomorrow."

"Mama, I love you."

"Me too. I love you."

"Ha ha ha! How funny you are, Mama. I will see you at 5:30."

Then his mother left for work. Her husband's name was Eric. The name of the mother was Giselle. The son was named Julio and his sister was Daniela. Daniela loved dolls and stuffed animals. Julio loved the TV show The Worst Witch. Giselle loved to read, and so did Eric, but he also had a laboratory. When Julio was thirteen years years old, he was a kid who was bored by everything.

His family was in Brooklyn. Julio and Daniela were from Colombia and then they left to live in New York. After a while, Julio decided that he did not like the cold weather in winter. But when his family arrived, they said "Let's see when winter starts."

And he said, "I have never been scared of the cold before."

All the kids at school laughed because they already knew what winter was like in New York all their life.

His mother said, "You'll get used to it."

Julio said, "It's all good."
