Te Quiero Más Que La Sal/I Love You More Than Salt

by Laura, 8th grade

En la cuidad más bonita de “Nunca Te Dire Adiós. Vivia un rey, su reina, y sus seis hijas.

In the most beautiful city of “I will Never Say Good Bye”. There lived a king with his queen and their six daughters. Una de sus hijas se llamaba Florecita.

Un día el rey le pregunto a Florecita. “Florecita cuanto me quieres”. “Padre yo te quiero más que la sal”. El rey muy enojado le dijo a Florecita ¡Que has dicho insensata! “Lo siento padre pero yo estoy diciendo la verdad te quiero más que la sal”. El rey no podia creer lo que escuchaba, ¡Que me quieres más que la sal, esa cosa tan significante que se derite con tan solo ponerla en agua!, ¡Pues no me quieres! ¡NADA! los guardias enseraron a la princesa en su habitación y no le dieron nada de comer.

One day the king asked Florecita. “Florecita how much do you love me? “My father I love you more than salt, she answered”. The King was so angry that told her “Florecita, what you have said is nonsense, how can you say that you love me more than salt. “I am sorry father but what I have said is just how I feel, Florecita answered. The King still could not believe what he had heard “You love me more than salt? “ Salt is such an insignificant thing that simply dissolves when it falls into water, that is how much you love me that is nothing! His guards took the princess and lock her up in her room. The king ordered them not to give her anything to eat.

La reina ordeno que toda la comida que el rey probara la sirvieran sin sal. El rey no saboreaba sus alimentos sin sal porque a el le gustaba la sal. Así estuvo varios días.

            The Queen ordered the cooks to cook all the Kings meals without salt. The Kings meals did not taste good without any salt since he really liked the taste of salt. He had his meals without salt for a couple of days

Estando solo se sento a pensar y dijo. ¿Creo que mi princecita tiene razon? La sal es algo importante para todos, sin ella ningun alimento sabe bien, que mal eh echo al no entender cuanto me quiere mi pequeña. El rey grito ¡Guardias traigan a mi presencia a la princesa Florecita. El rey al momento que la vio le dijo hija mia perdoname, 2hasta ahora me eh dado cuenta cuanto me quieres. Esa misma noche el rey hizo una gran fiesta y en medio de la mesa puso una jarra llena de sal. “Esposo” le pregunta la reina al rey “Ahora sabes cuanto te quiere tu hija”. El rey le responde y le dice “Si esposa mia, ella me quiere mas que la ¡Sal!

“FIN”

While the King was sitting alone he thought and said, “I think my little princess was right but I just didn’t realize it before”. Salt is very important to all of us, without it food just doesn’t taste right. I have been bad with my daughter without saying anything else the King shouted “Guards bring princess Florecita to my presence”. Immediately the guards took her to his presence, the moment the King saw her he told her “I am sorry my daughter, till now I have realized just how much you love me”. That same night the King had a great big party and as a centerpiece placed a jug full of salt. Husband now you know just how much your daughter loves you said the Queen. The King responded, “Yes she loves me more than Salt!
