My name is Anina Yatay Salas, I'm 10 years old and I'm in deep trouble.

At school many of my classmates call me 'capic�a' (palindrome) with a mocking face

because my name is read the same forward and backward.

One day I told them what my dad had told me:

That the word 'capic�a' comes from Catalan,

'cap' means head and 'cua' means tail.

But it was worse, because they made fun of me

Telling me that I'm 'capicua' (palindrome) girl

Because I'm just a head and a tail.

My dad constantly reminds me that I have no reason to be ashamed of my body

Or of my name Anina Yatay Salas,

He tells me that I'm well-proportioned

And that a triple palindrome name brings three times luck.

I hope it is true, otherwise,

I have no idea how I'm going to get out of the mess I'm in.

Anina!

Recess is responsible for everything.

There are good teachers at school, like Teacher Aurora

And bad ones like Agueda...

Pablo! Pablo! Slow down, you're going to fall!

One day you're going to fall and you're going to bleed so much

the playground will flood

That's what you're expecting to happen so you learn that you can't play like that, like crazy

There are also classmates, who I love, like my friend Florencia

Oh, careful!

You're it!

And others I can't even see like Yisel, the elephant

Let's trade, I'll give you the 'Little Bull' and you give me the 'Forl�n'

Huh, are you crazy? The bull is easier to get

And the Cat, Pablo?

You're it!

You spilled my snack, capic�a girl

I didn't mean to, and I don't like being called capic�a!

Capic�a, capic�a, capic�a, triple capic�a!

Just so you know having a capic�a name brings good luck

Always the same tone of voice, sorry, I forgot your name was better than everyone else's.

You parents couldn't come up with something that wasn't a capic�a?

At least I'm not an elephant!

Who did you call an elephant?

They're going to fight!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Watch out! The teacher's coming!

Excuse, let me through.

What is this, girls? What's going on?

They were fighting!

Shame on you, go to the principal's office immediately.

Anina, how come you can't go to school tomorrow unless one of us goes with you?

You better answer your dad before he gets really angry

Do you hear me Anina?

You're going to get caught

Deep down, Mom wants to know why the principal wants to meet with one of them

But Mom is good at waiting, after working on her patience while frying sandwiches she

learned that one can always wait a little longer.

It's great to give drops a little more time

So they start jumping.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls

Now, for all of you, Anina, our "capic�a" acrobat,

She will jump on a pan full of boiling oil!

Anina, weren't you listening?

Now?

Yes, now. I mean, before you start talking.

Capic�a one, capic�a two, capic�a three

Let him have a fried sandwich right away

Well, ok. Anina, once I eat this we're going to have a serious talk.

Mmm, they are delicious sweetie

The problem is that I got this crappy name

What crappy name?

Mine, what other name could it be?

Anina, a crappy name?

Yes!

You see? I told you she would reproach us one day

What? Don't you like it? Anina is a beautiful name

Yes, it alone isn't ugly but...

But?

...but not together with my last names!

Why not?

Because it seems like it is there to complete my palindrome last names, that's why.

Anina

Anina Yatay Salas, Anina Yatay Salas

All palindromes, three times a palindrome, it's like a joke! I have a name that's a joke

So you don't like it?

No.

You have to understand your dad, he likes your name so much, he loves it

It's not that I hate it either, the thing is that...

Yes, I know, it sounds like a joke, it's clear for us, especially for your dad

It's just that sometimes he's so stubborn

You know what; he's like that ever since I met him

Where did you meet him?

At a cinema

Oh, tell me the story

What are you finding?

What am I finding?

Something I'm not searching

And you? What are you looking for?

It looks like I found my handkerchief, thank you

What's your name?

Mar�a Salas

Mar�a Salas, that's nice

And yours?

Sergio Yatay

Sergio Yatay, that's a cute name

Good night.

Does the husband know?

I think he doesn't. He wouldn't let her

She should take care of the house

That's what I'm saying. People know less and less about moral these days.

Classes about moral is what they should take

Good morning ladies

Good morning

Good morning. Jum, we heard about the trouble you got into young lady

See if you can behave, huh?

To be such old ladies you're very well informed, aren't you?

Good bye

Those things never happened when I was a teacher

Capic�a one, Capic�a two, Capic�a three

Excuse me

Good afternoon

And Yisel?

She wasn't there, that seemed like a bad signal

If she wasn't there it was because I would be the one held responsible for everything

But she finally arrived, didn't she?

Yes, yes but the weird thing is that she didn't show up with her mom or her dad

Girls, this is a school not a boxing ring

It's unacceptable that girls behave

in such uncivilized way during recess, a cat fight like people call it

You have to learn that we can't treat one another like that because if we do the only thing

we are going to get from life will be that...hard punches

And the teacher, please, you're there to keep an eye on them, to keep an eye!

We can't have these things happening during recess.

So it was heated.

Yes, yes no one got away.

And what was the punishment?

Girls, approach. As of today you're going to keep these closed envelops for a week. Closed!

See? This is called sealing wax, it is a special seal for envelops,

if you open it, I will find out, because the sealing wax will be broken.

In exactly week, not a day longer or day before we're going to get together

and we're going to talk about this matter.

If you open it before the due date you will be assigned a lot of tasks,

difficult ones, extremely difficult, super difficult,

so very difficult like there have never been before

I can't tell about the punishment, because it is a secret actually

It's a weird one, the weirdest punishment in the history of weird punishments

Anina, please hurry, your classmates already left

Well, do you like it?

Yes!

I'm glad

What does it say?

"D�bale arroz a la zorra el abad"

How cute, what's an "abad"?

It is a very important person at church.

Oh, what was it again?

"D�bale arroz a la zorra el abad"

And what did that mean?

Nothing special, but it can be read forward and backwards

Really? Like my name?

Like your name

What does it say?

Something a about a fox eating rice

And why did you put it there?

It's was gift from my dad. It can be read the same forward and backward.

What a weird gift

I'm going to put it in my room

What for?

So it can join me in my dreams, my departing and arriving ones

Departing dreams and arriving dreams?

Of course! The departing ones are the ones

I picture before falling asleep and the arriving ones are the ones I remember when I wake up

You're a little crazy, aren't you?

Happy Birthday!

I feel embarrassed

You stay here, I'll go tell him

No, Florencia come here

Hey Natan, did you know that Anina is crazy about you?

Help him, help him

Somebody please squeeze his belly

Bring some water

Excuse me, excuse me

Sometimes I wonder what Jonatan would have done if he hadn't choked with that sandwich,

but I never asked him so I'll never know

Go away, you've betrayed me

Why are you saying that Casilda Cornelia?

Flogisto Rolando, please, stop lying

You have to forgive me.

That was a crazy night with brandy and confetti, I wasn't myself

Never, you'll never see my face again Flogisto

'Amor sin cuartel' will be right back

The ugliest names in the world...

...Flogisto

Once I told my grandmother I had an awful name

She didn't say anything. She climbed her house's roof

and came back with a list of the ugliest names in the world.

Ajuga, Aquilegia, Arujo, Filodendro!

Luckily, my name wasn't on the list

Gustavo?

Present

Anina, what was your punishment?

Anina, come on, tell me, just me, I won't tell anyone

Anina, come on, tell me, just me, I won't tell anyone

- Is she being kicked out of school forever?

- Is it true they're going to make her wear a funny hat so everyone can make fun of her?

- Is it true they're going to throw some chicken on her head?

You can't say what it is about, right?

I can't say anything, I can't.

"Anina y Yisel are bad clasmates because they won't sey about how they were puniched"-

- The Abengers de 5th B.

Who wrote this?

It's full of grammar mistakes

'Classmates' is spelled with double s, 'say' goes with an a, 'punished' with an s and

'Avengers' with a v.

Something even more important: it is not ok to bully your classmates.

I wasn't going to assign homework for the weekend, but since grammar is a weak aspect.

I'm giving you some exercises so you can improve your writing skill,

this is for all of you except Yisel and Anina.

Now, take out your homework notebook and write it down

Anina, Anina come

What happened?

I have a present for you

What is it?

Listen.

One, two, one, two, check, check, yes, yes, yes, listen to this:

"A mam� Roma le aviva el amor a pap� y a pap� Roma le aviva el amor a mam�." (palindrome sentence)

What is that?

It's one of the longest palindrome sentences in the world.

Dad, I'm fed up with palindromes.

Can you please show me something that isn't a palindrome?

Well, I can give you a song

"I look in the mirror and I see myself a little old to be singing a rock song,

I've been a rocker for so long that my leather jacket got bored in the closet

Rebellion, everyday, that was rock n' roll,

Remember "Barral" when everything went wrong and we played in days of blues..."

Anina!

Dear Comrades, welcome to the Ugly Names International Organization, UNIG.

Today the people with the most disgusting names are here with us,

they are: the honorable Col�mela, the gentle Filodendro,

the beautiful Corimba, the mysterious Inducio and the young Gluma.

Today is a special day; we've found the ugliest name ever...

Anina.

Hi Florencia

Hi, who is this?

It's me, Anina

Oh, hi, how are you Anina?

So-so, I'm calling you because I want to tell you about the punishment,

But you have to promise you won't tell anybody

Ok, go ahead, let's go to the square

No, no, promise me

Ok, yes, I promise

What's in it?

I don't know, I have no idea

I have a plan. The principal said you couldn't open it, for no reason at all

Yes, I know that

But she never said you couldn't open Yisel's envelope

Are you talking about stealing the elephant's envelope?

Stealing, stealing? No, but to open it to see what's inside of it? Yes!

What are we going to do?

We have to investigate

Investigate what?

To see if she goes out with the envelope or something.

Or to see if she connects with any suspicious person.

Suspicious like who?

I don't know, suspicious

I don't know how to recognize a suspicious person

Anyway, we're going to find out

My mom asks if she can pay you later

Of course sweetie

Ok, let's go

Hands up, this is a robbery!

What?

Give me your cookies

Don't bother us, go away! We are busy.

Hi Yisel!

She got away

I bet she's at the bakery

Let's go take a look

Do you see her?

No. I'm going to check around the corner

Florencia?

Hi Yisel, I didn't know you were at the bakery

I was buying some bread, bye Florencia

By-bye

Yisel! Did you already do your homework?

I wasn't assigned any homework

Right! I had totally forgotten. Have a good one.

Betrayal

Without any respect or sense of behavior, fighting

But it's not the children's fault, it's their parents'

Don't blame the pig, blame those who feed it.

Good afternoon

How can I help you?

I was cleaning up my bookcase and I found this book,

it's the one I used to use when I was teacher, before I retired.

We know your daughter is having behavior problems at school

The book has some advice that could help

Be careful because it has some loose pages, but don't worry they are in the right order

I appreciate it but I don't think this is necessary

Keep it. Listen to me, it's essential, essential!

It's a shame that people don't give values, moral and discipline the same importance they had before

What is that?

I don't know, a manual to educate you

To educate me

Yes, did you swallow a parrot?

Why? Don't you know how to do it?

Don't push your luck, Anina

Are you going to read it?

I'm curious; it might give us some kind of recipe

Anina give me that!

Never! You'll never have a recipe to raise me

What a disgrace, no wonder I was giving margaritas to the pigs

Excuse? What did you say about the pigs ma'am?

I said that pigs shouldn't be given margaritas

Oh, I don't know what you are talking about ma'am, oink oink, oink, oink

My mom and I spent all Sunday afternoon fixing the book

to give it back in good shape to the neighbor.

Ladies and gentleman! Good, good morning at noon

I'm here to sing a song from an endearing singer-songwriter

Mr. Miguel Dorta and it goes a little bit like this:

"Bylife goes by thinking of you and for your love, I don't know who I am or where I am going

If I just could listen to that whisper in my ears...

Hello

...the words that I dreamed of till I fly, stars will kiss the sea this world

will silence its whisper when you come to me.

Stars will kiss the sea this world will silence its whisper when you come to me

Beneath the crystal moon will go togethe on sidereal trip when you come to me."

You're it!

...And you Jonatan, do you promise to be faithful in good times and bad,

in sickness and in health, to love her and respect her till death do you part?

I do

I know pronounce you, husband and wife, you may kiss the bride

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it; if you want to make a contribution it's ok

Thanks ma'am. I'll be right there, sir.

The chlorophyll is a green substance that gives vegetables its color.

Thanks to her, plants are capable of catching solar energy

and turn it into chemical energy...

Hey, Flor!

The process is known as photosynthesis.

What?

Photo means light, the plants synthesizes solar light to turn it into energy.

The green color that you can observe in the shoots is precisely chlorophyll.

Did you see anything?

Like what?

The envelope, what other thing could it be?

I don't know but there was something there.

But did you see how nervous she got when she saw me staring at her?

I'm sure she has her envelope in her bag

Are you listening to me?

Sure

We have to get advantage and break in the classroom to get the envelope to know what her punishment is.

I don't know

Everyone's here, it's the perfect moment

Anina are you ok?

Yes

Ok, I'm in, let's go

They're not going to let us in just like that

Well, we're going to have to find a way to do it, don't we?

How?

We need something to distract them

Mateo, come here

What is it?

I heard you know how to impersonate a very scary monster

Yes, a vampire with breadstick teeth

Why don't you show Sof�a?

But what if she gets scared?

If she gets scared it's because the monster is really scary.

Later we'll let her know we were just playing.

Ok, fine

What happened, Sof�a? Breathe

Avampire

Excuse me Principal; have you seen anyone going up the staircase?

No, there's no one on the top floor.

Shouldn't you be keeping an eye on the children at the playground?

I'll be there in a minute; I forgot something in the classroom

Ok, but don't take long

Oh my God! We're going to get busted

You stay here

Where are you going?

Can you please tell me what you're doing here

Reading

Reading in the dark?

Well, at least I'm reading, right?

Kids are not allowed in here young lady, could you please go back to the playground immediately?

What a rogue my grandma was, the list of the ugliest names in the world was a list with names of plants.

You all know we have a first-aid kit in case of any accident.

So far I've been in charge of making sure it has basic things

such as water, band-aids, hydrogen peroxide etc.

But we need someone else do take care of it, someone we can all trust,

and I came up with a couple of names for this task.

I thought about assigning such an important responsibility to Anina and Yisel,

what do you think? Don't you think it's a great idea?

2 packages of gauze, 3 band-aids, 1 and a half packages of cotton. What's missing?

Iodine and alcohol

I'm going to ask the teacher

"Australia"

"Yisel, I miss you"

"I look in the mirror and I look a little old to be singing rock, I've been a rocker for so long

that my leather jacket got bored in the closet

rebelliousness, all day long, that's what rock n' roll used to be"

Just like that, between one thing and the other the whole week had gone by.

Nobody was interested in me or my punishment anymore.

And then, that thing with Pablo happened.

Welcome to the show, please welcome the Great Pablo,

the most famous tightrope walker, nice and brave, among others.

And now ladies and gentlemen, an incredible and fascinating act on the highest

and most dangerous tightrope ever, without a net folks!

Here he is ladies and gentlemen, an amazing tightrope walker risking his life for the show,

women sigh in awe

and beasts roar...

Those are not beasts; they're little kittens!

They don't scare anyone off, much less this amazing tightrope walker with nerves of steel...

Pablo fell of a tree!

What is it? What's going on? What did just happen here?

Pablo fell

What do you mean he fell?

I asked a question, how did he fell?

He just fell, he fell. It was an accident.

Can you give me a hand?

Hand me the alcohol

Why are you groaning? We didn't even touch you

You see Pablo? It's like I always say, you never pay attention and always do what you please

and so you have to fall so you can understand?

I can't believe it. You're impossible.

Don't worry, this will heal you

That's it, spare the rod, spoil the child, it's the only way they'll learn, do you understand?

Spare the rod, spoil the child,

just by suffering they will learn, that's why you have to punish them.

I don't want that

It's for your own good

We don't want to learn that way!

You won't any other way

That's a lie! You don't learn like that

"Teacher AGUEDA"

The Avengers from 5th B

Capic�a one, Capic�a two, Capic�a three

I didn't know what I had coming

I was about to meet with the principal again

I was just right where I was at the beginning

I didn't know anything about that mysterious envelope

Curiosity was killing me; I couldn't help it, I just wanted to know what was in it

Quiet, it's time for your punishment.

Spoil the child, spoil the child, spoil the child

Spare the rod, spare the rod, spare the rod

You just learn by suffering

There has to be punishment

There has to be punishment

There's no other way to learn

Spoil the child, spoil the child, spoil the child

Spare the rod, spare the rod, spare the rod

You just learn by suffering.

Let them in!

No, no, let me go, let me go, you can't do this to me, I'm Anina Yatay Salas, the only

palindrome girl there has ever been at a school

Principal, Yisel is not here, it's all on her

Anina

Yisel

Mom, mom

Anina, you were having a nightmare

The envelope mom, the envelope. Where is it?

Which envelope Anina? Anina, what are you talking about?

The one the principal gave to me

Look! It's right there on the floor

Oh no

What is it?

It's open, the sealing wax is broken!

You must have gotten up while you were asleep and opened it without realizing

I don't understand, it's empty,

the principal is going to kill me, she's going to assign me millions of difficult tasks

Anina, Anina stay calm honey

Sweetie, go to sleep now. Tomorrow I'll help you look for whatever was in it.

Now rest Honey, good night.

Good morning sleepy head

Dad, I feel terrible, I don't think I'll be able to go to school

How curious, precisely today when you have to meet with the principal

My stomach hurts

Oh, your stomach?

Well, you won't be able to eat the escalope breaded steak with French fries and fried eggs I was going to cook today.

Oh I know, I can make some noodles without any sauce, just noodles so won't feel any worse...

I don't think it's my stomach Daddy, I think it's my head what really hurts

Your head, Anina?

Yes, but it's fading already

Oh, well, we need a volunteer to go bring a kilogram of breadcrumbs

and a dozen eggs to make some delicious escalope breaded steak.

Can you think of anyone?

Me!

I never thought it could happen,

I had opened the envelope and what was worse,

I hadn't found anything,

but that wasn't the only thing that happened to me that morning.

Bye, thank you

Bye, see you later

Leave that, don't worry I'll clean that up

Here, here, let me replace that

Sorry, I didn't see you

It's all right

C�sar, I'm taking these noodles

Ok Yisel, take them, I'll write them down

Bye, thanks

What a difficult situation for that family, huh?

Ever since the father had to go to Australia things have gone from bad to worse.

The mother doesn't work, does she?

She does, but the main issue there is that they're far away from each other

Right there I realized the trouble I was in.

Suddenly, I didn't care about my punishment,

about Jonatan liking me,

or about an open and empty envelope,

my Yisel wasn't the elephant...

Wow, do we have a cook in the house? So you love and want to help me all of a sudden?

Yes

What are you going to ask me?

Dad, is Australia far from here?

Yes, it's in the opposite side of the world

Have you ever been there?

What is it with Australia? Do you have geography homework?

No, but I heard Yisel's dad went there to go work

Sometimes people have to go to other countries to work for a while

Do they come back?

Some people do

So he might not come back

I don't know, he might

Will he come back or not?

I don't know Anina, what do you want me to tell you?

I want you to tell me that Yisel will live with her dad again.

That's what I want you to tell me

Anina, I'm sure Yisel's father doesn't want anything else but to come back.

I have an idea, why don't we invite her over to eat escalopes breaded steaks?

Who? Yisel?

Yes, Yisel why not?

Mom, I didn't find what was in it

Don't worry, take it and explain the principal what happened

Anina!

Good luck my friend

Who is it?

Anina Yatay Salas

Come in. Hello Anina

Hello Anina

Hello

Sit down, please.

Girls, take your envelopes out, break the sealing wax and open them.

Anina, your envelope?

I opened it

Before the due date?

Yes

But Anina, why are you crying?

Because I opened it before the due date

Don't worry, I knew this could happen.

I gave you those envelopes so you could reflect on what had happened.

But mine is empty

Mine too

Exactly.

The mystery around the content of the envelope was intentional

so you would wonder and look in you.

So you could learn that it is always good to put yourself in the other person's shoes.

The envelope was for you to fill.

The principal didn't want to punish us.

She just wanted us to fill the envelope with anything we could learn from this experience.

I learned that, just like my name, important things come and go.

Here, it's a gift

Thanks

You're it!

But please, don't run in the playground because you're going to fall
