Once upon a time, there was a Mexican family who loved to celebrate Mexican Independence Day. They would decorate their home with colorful streamers and balloons, and practice traditional Mexican dances like the jarabe tapatío.
One year, the family decided to add a fun twist to their celebration. They blindfolded each other and took turns trying to guess which decoration they were holding just by touch. It was hilarious as they stumbled around, feeling a cactus instead of a maraca, or a hat instead of a sombrero!
In the end, they all had so much fun practicing their independence by celebrating in their own unique way. The moral of the story is that it’s always good to celebrate and try new things, especially on Mexican Independence Day!
