Oh, what are you getting your mom?
Something really nice.

Repita, for favor.
How is it?
How are you?
I'm very well, thanks.
Wanda.
Signora Julia does speak English.
You know that.
Well, of course I do, Ellen.
I just think we should take this
opportunity to practice our Spanish.
Oh, that's what you've been speaking.
Joe, is Signora Julia related to you?
Practically.
Signora Julia lived
nearby when Joe was born.
And then she helped me out
a lot when he was a baby.
And when my dad died, she came back
and stayed with us for a while.
She's always been a very
important part of our home.
She knew me before I could talk.
Is she from Spain?
No, Sam. She's from Mexico.
Oh, I love Mexican food.
I can't wait for you to meet her.
She's really a great woman.
Um, actually, Wanda, Wanda, you just
called Signora Julia a large woman.
Where is the Casa de Pepe?
Saved by the bell.
Signor, Julia!
I was so happy to see you.
Oh, Joe!
I am so happy to see you.

know, means good looking.
I love her.
Senor Julia, these are my friends.
David and Sam.
It's very nice to meet you.
Con much, Augusta.
Did you come all away from Mexico?
No, dear. I drove in from Springfield,
but I visit my family
in Mexico every year.
Joe, before I forget,
I brought something for you about Mexico.
Come, I'll show you.
Let me see.
Let me see.
Is it enchiladas?
Oh, I know.
Tamale!
Hope you remember the hot sauce.
Oh.
Legends of Mexico.
The Legends of Mexico.
It's my Mother's Day present to you.
After all, it's your birth that
makes Mother's Day possible, eh?
Thanks, Signia.
Enjoy. I know you learn a lot.
Mexico, Mexico, Mexico.
Mexico.
I happen to know there's more to Mexico
than great food in Spanish class.
Let's see.
Mexico is an exciting and
ancient country in North America.
It's just south of the United States.
The story of Mexico begins at a cave.
The first Mexicans were called Chichimex.
They emerged from the Earth's
womb and they worshipped the sun.
Chichimex means dog people.
people.
One tribe of Chichimex
called themselves Aztecs.
The Aztecs trekked for more than
200 years in search of a home.
They were guided by the god of
war who spoke to their priest.
The Aztec people were survivors.
With nowhere else to go, they arrived at
the shore of a lake in
the valley of Mexico.
Their priest waited for a
special sign from the god of war.
There, at the water's edge, the priest
beheld the sign for which he had waited.
Atop a prickly pear cactus,
an eagle screamed and devoured a serpent,
spreading its wings to the sun.
The Aztecs had found their
home, and Mexico was born.
Ah, lilo see.
That picture was taken right after
Steve and I bought this house.
Yes, I remember.
What's this?
Oh, um, that's a little
gift from Michael.
Ah, who's Michael an admirer?
No.
No, Michael Dunn is a very nice
young man who works at the library,
and I've been helping him
with his college applications.
Michael lost his mother recently,
and Ellen's become sort
of a second mom to him.
Well, it's beautiful
and very expensive, eh?
Yeah, I guess it is pretty nice.
Oh, he's just a great kid.
You'll get to meet him.
him Sunday, I've asked him to join us.
Well, that looks nice.
Oh, Ellen, the casserole.
Oh, that's right, excuse us.
What a sweet boy.
Yeah, I've got something
to show you tomorrow.
Let's go to show you tomorrow.
Let's almoser.
Ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Lunch time.
Let's go, Wishbone.
That's right, Senora Julia.
The dog has to eat too.
Let's go to the Cucina!
Let's go to the Cucina!
See that music box?
What bea?
My mom loves it, and
I'm going to buy it for.
Let's go inside.
Wishbone stay here.
Take your time, pal.
I'll just make chitone.
So, where are you from?
What?
Good afternoon, sir.
Good afternoon, sir.
I'd like to buy that
music box in the window.
You got it.
Beautiful music, huh?
It's perfect.
Joe, that must be very expensive, eh?
Oh, don't worry.
That'll be a hundred and
ten dollars, young man.
Vesantissimo. No, sir,
pardon us, but we're
I'm fine, sign, signor, Julia.
Joe? Where did you get all that money?
Oh, it's my life savings.
Um, minus eight dollars.
Thanks, sir.
Thank you.
I'm sure my mom's gonna love it.
Do you think so?
Let's see down for a minute, Joe.
Well
Jose, my amor.
I want to ask you a question.
Is there any reason why you are
spending all of your money like this?
What do you mean?
Does it have something to do
with the present from Michael?
I don't know. Maybe.
He's always so nice to her.
I mean, I guess I don't
want her to forget about me.
Let me tell you a story.
Story?
It's a very important story from Mexico.
About the most important
mother in Mexico.
I'm all the years.
You must have heard of the Aztec people.
They are part of my blood.
A part of most Mexicans.
They built their empire
at the Nochtitlan.
Place of the cactus.
It was a brilliant city.
greater than Venice, greater than Rome.
An on a hill named the Bejak.
They built a temple
to the mother goddess.
She was mother of all,
creator and destroyer.
The Aztecs were very warlike people,
and they humbled the other tribes.
But they were also very religious.
They believed their calendar
could tell them the future.
The calendar said they were living
in the age of the fifth son.
He told them that this was the last son.
Then the conquistadors came.
They came with enemies of the Aztecs.
And the fifth son died.
The conquistadores destroyed
all of the conquistadors
destroyed all.
They conquered the people,
and they destroyed the
temple of their mother.
The Aztec people were like orphans.
Not long after the conquest,
some Aztecs began to accept
the religion of the Spaniards.
One of these Aztecs was Juan Diego.
Every Saturday he
walked over Tepeyak Hill
on his way to hear Mass.
But this day,
December morning, something
extraordinary happened.
Juan.
Juan Diego.
Yes?
Juan was not scared.
His heart was happy when
he heard this voice.
There, before his eyes, stood a maiden,
absolutely perfect.
And she spoke gently to Juan
in the language of the Aztecs.
No, my dearest son, that I am the
Virgin, Holy Mary, Mother of God,
yours, and of all people
who live in this land.
I will listen to those who trust in me,
and I will cleanse and
nurse all their sufferings.
Yes, my lady.
Go to the bishop.
Tell him what you have seen here
and ask that he build a sacred
house for me on this hill
so that I may intercede for us for us
all who ask.
I will, my lady.
Juan went straight to
the home of the bishop.
And after waiting for
hours, he was admitted.
Bishop Zumaraga, I have seen our lady.
She spoke to me.
She looks like an Aztec.
And she asks that you build her
a sacred house on Tebe Yacht.
And she asks that you build
her a sacred house on Tebe Yaq.
You must come again, my son,
so that I may consider your situation,
more carefully.
Poorie, Juan.
He thought he had failed his mother.
Signor, Julia.
Sorry to interrupt, but my
mom will be home any minute.
Ayki, Urr! We told her we
were going to be there.
I
I'm so tired.
I was so darned.
That was a long wall.
Hello.
Mom?
She's not here.
I still want to hear
the rest of that story.
Uh-oh.
Please don't be broken.
Well, well, fancy meeting you here again.
And you brought lunch.
Is that most beef?
Hey, I wasn't going to eat it.
I mean, not all of it.
Good afternoon, sir.
How can I help you?
Say, you were in here yesterday, Ryan?
Uh, yes. Um, I've got a small problem.
I dropped the music box, and it fell
on the floor, and now it won't play.
I know you can't give me
all my money back, but
I'm sorry, son.
I can't do anything
with a broken music box.
Yes, sir. We understand, but
But maybe you could do an exchange or
Read the sign, ma'am.
I'm sorry.
Okay. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I ate your chips.
I totally.
I totally failed.
You need a very
generous thing, Joe.
It's no big deal. I mean,
Michael could give her
something just as nice.
Joe, Michael's gifts are not the same.
Why? Because you are Joe Talbot.
You are your mother's son.
And no one's love is
more important to her.
You've got to believe that.
Okay.
Senor Julia, he's still not getting it.
I think that it's time.
that I finish my story.
Remember that Juan Diego left the bishop
feeling like he had totally failed.
He did not believe me, my lady.
Please, send someone
noble, someone respected.
I am a man of no importance.
Send someone else and he
will build your sacred house.
You are my son, Juan Diego.
I could have any messenger I want.
But I have chosen you.
Go back tomorrow.
The next day, Juan waited
even longer to see the bishop.
The bishop asked him many
questions about his account.
The bishop asked him many
questions about his account.
It was easy.
for Juan to answer.
I must ask, Juan, that
you bring me a sign.
A sign that our lady has indeed sent you.
Then we may build the sacred house.
He told the Virgin what had happened.
And she was pleased.
That is good, my son.
Come back here tomorrow, and I
will give you such a sign for the
bishop. Do not forget, all you
must do is love me and trust me.
And I will take care of you.
Yes, my lady.
Juan returned to his home that night,
only to find that his uncle had
fallen sick and now lay dying.
Juan's uncle needed him now.
I must hide from him now.
I must hide for him.
for my lady this morning.
First, I must find a priest for my uncle.
Then I will return to her service.
So Juan took a different road,
around the other side of the hill.
Oh, but a mother knows better.
Where are you going, my son?
Dear lady, please forgive
me, but my uncle is dying.
Have patience while I send for a priest.
Then I will return to you.
Juanito, am I not here?
Are you not under my protection?
Yes.
My lady?
I said I would take care of you.
Believe me.
One was greatly relieved.
Then send me to the bishop.
Go to the top of the hill and
gather together the flowers.
It was December, of course.
Not the season for flowers.
But they blown for La Virgen.
Here was proof for the bishop.
The Virgin spread Juan's
dealma on the ground.
And Juan picked the flowers
and gathered them on top.
The Virgin took them in her
precious hands and arranged them.
Here is your sign, my son.
Then she rolled it, Dilma,
and gave it back to him.
Your Excellency!
Your Excellency, Sir! I have
carried out your orders.
I have brought you a sign.
Please, take it.
As he released his Dilma,
the flowers fell to the floor.
And something miraculous happened.
Our lady had given her sign.
And indeed, her love
had healed Juan's uncle.
The Virgin of Tepeyak
soon became known as our love
Lady of Guadalupe, and her
sacred house was built.
Juan Diego took care of
it until the day he died.
To this day, traditions from Europe
and the Aztecs, the new and the old,
come together every
year on December 12th to
celebrate the Feast Day
of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Their survival together
testifies to the Miracians
and healing love of our lady.
But none of this would have been
possible without Juan Diego's love.
He had to believe in the power
of his love for his mother.
I always stay close to our lady.
I know that it makes a difference.
My mother's 102 years old, and I
still call her every single day.
One hundred and two years old.
Incredible.
Oh, yeah, it's incredible,
but she's an incredible woman.
You know, that story you just
told, it was really beautiful.
Thank you.
It really was.
Take some old advice, young man.
Just tell your mom how
you feel about her.
It's worth more than you'll ever know.
Hello? Don't forget to
set a place for the dog.
Well, Michael must be running late.
Actually, Mom, I thought
maybe now would be a
good time to make my
Mother's Day presentation.
Mother's Day presentation?
Sit down.
Oh. Come on, sit down.
Exciting. This must be very elaborate.
Mother's Day is a really great day
for me because I have three moms.
I guess I'm spoiled.
First, there's Senor Julia.
She used to change my diapers, and
that says a lot about a person.
She doesn't live here anymore.
She doesn't live here.
but I still feel close to her.
Then there's Miss Gilmore.
She lives right next door
and whatever happens,
it's always more fun when she's around.
I'm glad she doesn't have other
kids, other than me, of course.
Oh yeah.
Then there's Mom.
She lives here with me, and I love
this house because my mom is here.
And she always listens.
to whatever I have to say.
And I love you, Mom.
I want to hug him, Mom.
I want to hug him also.
Oh, wait for me, too.
Why?
Is this a bad time?
Michael, welcome.
Hi, Michael.
Excuse me, do I know you?
Hey there, boy.
The front door was open to
crack, so I just let myself in.
I hope that's okay.
No, I'm glad that you did.
Please, you remember Wanda?
Oh, yes, hi.
And you've met the family dog?
And this is our dear
friend, Julia Inohosa.
Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.
It's my pleasure.
Mom, before we eat, I've got
something else to give you.
Must be my lucky day.
Don't get too excited.
It doesn't really work.
The music box.
Oh, Joe.
Oh, I love this box.
Can I see that?
Hey, Joe.
I'm pretty good with mechanical things.
What do you say you and
I put her heads together
and fix this for your mom?
That sounds great.
All right.
All right.
So, let's go to commensar la fiesta!
That's a wonderful idea, Senora Wanda.
Thanks.
Things always work out, Joe.
Andle.
Famos, Wish, Wish, phone.
It's not a party without you.
Yes, senora.
And this part of the
story is called El Fin.
Ah, halloa, Amigos!
Michael, you're in my spine.
Hello.
A Buen Quinto is an Obra de Arte.
That's Spanish.
It means a good story is a work of art.
I agree.
But what about the reverse?
Can a work of art tell a good story?
You bet!
Some of Mexico's greatest stories
have been told through art.
In mural form.
Hmm.
What is a mural, anyway?
A mural is a narrative device that
is used to tell a story victorially.
In other words, a mural is a
big picture that tells a story,
like the history of Tenochtitlan.
Mural comes from the Latin
word muras, which means wall.
That's because murals are
usually painted on walls.
Murals are an important part of
Mexican culture and storytelling.
If you want,
If you want to learn more about Mexican
literature and history,
visit your local library.
I'll see you at the Bibliotheca.
That's at library in Spanish.

He's always so nice to her.

generous thing, Joe.
It's no big deal. I mean,
Michael could give her
something just as nice.
Joe, Michael's gifts are not the same.
Why? Because you are Joe Talbot.
You are your mother's son.
And no one's love is
more important to her.
You've got to believe that.
Okay.
Senor Julia, he's still not getting it.
I think that it's time.
that I finish my story.
Remember that Juan Diego left the bishop
feeling like he had totally failed.
He did not believe me, my lady.
Please, send someone
noble, someone respected.
I am a man of no importance.
Send someone else and he
will build your sacred house.
You are my son, Juan Diego.
I could have any messenger I want.
But I have chosen you.
Go back tomorrow.
The next day, Juan waited
even longer to see the bishop.
The bishop asked him many
questions about his account.
The bishop asked him many
questions about his account.
It was easy.
for Juan to answer.
I must ask, Juan, that
you bring me a sign.
A sign that our lady has indeed sent you.
Then we may build the sacred house.
He told the Virgin what had happened.
And she was pleased.
That is good, my son.
Come back here tomorrow, and I
will give you such a sign for the
bishop. Do not forget, all you
must do is love me and trust me.
And I will take care of you.
Yes, my lady.
Juan returned to his home that night,
only to find that his uncle had
fallen sick and now lay dying.
Juan's uncle needed him now.
I must hide from him now.
I must hide for him.
for my lady this morning.
First, I must find a priest for my uncle.
Then I will return to her service.
So Juan took a different road,
around the other side of the hill.
Oh, but a mother knows better.
Where are you going, my son?
Dear lady, please forgive
me, but my uncle is dying.
Have patience while I send for a priest.
Then I will return to you.
Juanito, am I not here?
Are you not under my protection?
Yes.
My lady?
I said I would take care of you.
Believe me.
One was greatly relieved.
Then send me to the bishop.
Go to the top of the hill and
gather together the flowers.
It was December, of course.
Not the season for flowers.
But they blown for La Virgen.
Here was proof for the bishop.
The Virgin spread Juan's
dealma on the ground.
And Juan picked the flowers
and gathered them on top.
The Virgin took them in her
precious hands and arranged them.
Here is your sign, my son.
Then she rolled it, Dilma,
and gave it back to him.
Your Excellency!
Your Excellency, Sir! I have
carried out your orders.
I have brought you a sign.
Please, take it.
As he released his Dilma,
the flowers fell to the floor.
And something miraculous happened.
Our lady had given her sign.
And indeed, her love
had healed Juan's uncle.
The Virgin of Tepeyak
soon became known as our love
Lady of Guadalupe, and her
sacred house was built.
Juan Diego took care of
it until the day he died.
To this day, traditions from Europe
and the Aztecs, the new and the old,
come together every
year on December 12th to
celebrate the Feast Day
of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Their survival together
testifies to the Miracians
and healing love of our lady.
But none of this would have been
possible without Juan Diego's love.
He had to believe in the power
of his love for his mother.
I always stay close to our lady.
I know that it makes a difference.
My mother's 102 years old, and I
still call her every single day.
One hundred and two years old.
Incredible.
Oh, yeah, it's incredible,
but she's an incredible woman.
You know, that story you just
told, it was really beautiful.
Thank you.
It really was.
Take some old advice, young man.
Just tell your mom how
you feel about her.
It's worth more than you'll ever know.
Hello? Don't forget to
set a place for the dog.
Well, Michael must be running late.
Actually, Mom, I thought
maybe now would be a
good time to make my
Mother's Day presentation.
Mother's Day presentation?
Sit down.
Oh. Come on, sit down.
Exciting. This must be very elaborate.
Mother's Day is a really great day
for me because I have three moms.
I guess I'm spoiled.
First, there's Senor Julia.
She used to change my diapers, and
that says a lot about a person.
She doesn't live here anymore.
She doesn't live here.
but I still feel close to her.
Then there's Miss Gilmore.
She lives right next door
and whatever happens,
it's always more fun when she's around.
I'm glad she doesn't have other
kids, other than me, of course.
Oh yeah.
Then there's Mom.
She lives here with me, and I love
this house because my mom is here.
And she always listens.
to whatever I have to say.
And I love you, Mom.
I want to hug him, Mom.
I want to hug him also.
Oh, wait for me, too.
Why?
Is this a bad time?
Michael, welcome.
Hi, Michael.
Excuse me, do I know you?
Hey there, boy.
The front door was open to
crack, so I just let myself in.
I hope that's okay.
No, I'm glad that you did.
Please, you remember Wanda?
Oh, yes, hi.
And you've met the family dog?
And this is our dear
friend, Julia Inohosa.
Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.
It's my pleasure.
Mom, before we eat, I've got
something else to give you.
Must be my lucky day.
Don't get too excited.
It doesn't really work.
The music box.
Oh, Joe.
Oh, I love this box.
Can I see that?
Hey, Joe.
I'm pretty good with mechanical things.
What do you say you and
I put her heads together
and fix this for your mom?
That sounds great.
All right.
All right.
So, let's go to commensar la fiesta!
That's a wonderful idea, Senora Wanda.
Thanks.
Things always work out, Joe.
Andle.
Famos, Wish, Wish, phone.
It's not a party without you.
Yes, senora.
And this part of the
story is called El Fin.
Ah, halloa, Amigos!
Michael, you're in my spine.
Hello.
A Buen Quinto is an Obra de Arte.
That's Spanish.
It means a good story is a work of art.
I agree.
But what about the reverse?
Can a work of art tell a good story?
You bet!
Some of Mexico's greatest stories
have been told through art.
In mural form.
Hmm.
What is a mural, anyway?
A mural is a narrative device that
is used to tell a story victorially.
In other words, a mural is a
big picture that tells a story,
like the history of Tenochtitlan.
Mural comes from the Latin
word muras, which means wall.
That's because murals are
usually painted on walls.
Murals are an important part of
Mexican culture and storytelling.

If you want to learn more about Mexican
literature and history,

I'll see you at the Bibliotheca.
That's at library in Spanish.
