I am in the blue shirt flying a pinwheel kite. Every year the day of the saints comes when the children make round pinwheel kites and lift them up in the sky. Both girls and boys play with the precious flying pinwheels. On the day of the saints they raise their pinwheel kites and there is also a competition of the pinwheels. The one who raises his pinwheel kite the highest is the one who wins. The people are accustomed to visit those fallen in the military and they gather pine flowers and fruits. Also they cook “elote guisquiles guicox” to go to eat in the cemetery because this is now a tradition in my township and country. To Xetonox we are true!
“I have a mother, father and brothers. I like to play, help my father in the work to complete tasks, and watch television. I like to run and talk with my friends. I would like to become a professor.”
