FIRST CHAPTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

The teacher said:<\/p>\n

“Puerto Rico and the United States have a unique relationship”<\/p>\n

“Don\u2019t worry about it. That\u2019s not important.”<\/p>\n

SECOND CHAPTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This morning my teacher said\u2026”<\/p>\n

“And?”<\/p>\n

“I want to know about it.”<\/p>\n

“Why?”<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know.”<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s a good reason, but in the meantime, go to bed, son.”<\/p>\n

THIRTH CHAPTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

EPILOGUE<\/p>\n

The teacher gave each student a blank sheet of paper.<\/p>\n
