Ranked #51 in Learn Spanish
"Wake up!"my mother calls. "It's the Day of the Dead! We're going to honor your tío Fernando."
As I help get the altar ready, my mother tells me that later, at the cemetery, we will meet with my uncle Fernando's spirit. At the market, I buy special things for Tío's grave. I watch the musicians and the actors singing songs of life and death. And all day I wonder: How will I meet Tío's spirit? How will I know it is really him?
--¡Despiértate! --me dice mi mamá--. ¡Hoy es el Día de los Muertos! Vamos a honrar la memoria de tu tío Fernando.
