the government would take on adequate measure, I dont know what wrong with that
hurricane, but is not good things
Jersa: -- Yeah well, you can see that in this days, half of all the people says that is not good,
but the other half says thats its not too bad because the ground really need this, and in
places where the people cultivate food or flowers, maybe because Its their job, maybe for
them this are good things you know, sometimes the water is enough and couldnt cultivate
for a correct form.

section
So friends this is curious festival in the population in prats de mollos in the oriental
pirineos of Spain they called it dia del oso. It is celebrated in February in the last part of
winter.
This medieval legend tells the story of a shepherdess kidnapped by a bear who had failed it
its attempt to seduce her with its charms. Then some woodcutters that were working there,
listened to the screams of the maiden and rescued her.
The story is immortalized each year by the population.
Early afternoon, a group of young people who are particularly strong and agile are chosen
to play the role the bears, the rest play the role of hunters. Armed with batons, they chase it
until the town.
For several hours the creatures behave like a wild bear, snarling and terrorizing their
pursuers and viewers. The festival finish with the appearance of the los osos blancos
dressed in white shirts and covered in flour.
Once defeated the bears, they are sheared it.
The mollos downtown has a phrase that said. A bear you will find if you really want to
hunt
Jersa I would be very surprised, if a bear seduces me well the bear can try it a lot of
times, but my dear Jersa. Im impossible. And remember guys if is a bear, is a hairy
problem.
back with you Jersa.
Jersa: -- Interesting well I have to accepted that I didnt know these things and I think
that are useful in a moment, and well its true also, we can use for ourselves.
But well finally, we got another important section and in this we talk about a lot of things
that people likes, music, inventions, guitar etc. your turn Alan.
Alan 2: -- Today were going to talk about some electrical instruments. Everybody has
listened a piano, violin, guitar, bass or whatever instrument, but this instrument uses the
electromagnetic induction to convert the signals of metal strings in electrical signals.
When a person plays an instrument, the signal of strings is catched by pichups that convert
it, electric signal in a sound speaker.
Many examples of electrical instruments are basses, guitars, violins, harps... but in this case
the guitar have more attention. The electrical guitar was created by jazz musicians that
wanted makes a sound too loud enough to be heard. The electrical bass was created by Paul
Tutmarc, he wants to create something that replace the acoustic bass or double bass.
Now every day we are listening to music with this kind of instruments, we use to go
concerts that have the biggest sound speakers, maybe if we dont have had this instruments
we had never had listened bands like The Beatles or Guns N Roses.
Jersa: -- So people take the important thing of each one and share it with your friends, see
you soon, have a nice day!
Alan 1: -- Thank you very much for your attention and your time, we are seeing tomorrow,
with much new news, thank you,
