Ratatouille

Oh, Paris, France, the home of the finest restaurants and the greatest chefs in the world... All my life I've wanted to be one of them. You may think that's a strange dream for a rat, but I've always believed that with hard work and a little luck, it would be a matter of time before I am discovered..... RAAAAAAATS... GET THEM....

You know what would happen if anyone knew we had a rat in our kitchen. Go, take it away from here. Now, garbage boy...

Don't look at me like that. You are the one who was getting fancy with the spices... I need this job. I've lost so many... I don't know how to cook and now I'm actually talking to a rat as if you... Did you nod? You understand me! I can't cook, but you can, right? Look, don't be so modest, you are a rat, for pete's sake... Are you thinking what I'm thinking? We just need to work out a system, so I do what you want...

Stop that! Stop what? Freaking me out!... I want to make things dad! Stay away from the humans. It's dangerous. Now, shut up and eat your garbage... ETC.

WORK TO BE DONE: 1. WATCH THE VIDEO AND THEN GIVE A SUMMARY (RESUMEN) OF THE STORY: WHAT'S THE STORY ABOUT? WHO/WHAT ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERS? WHERE DOES THE STORY TAKE PLACE? 2. GET THE COMPLETE MESSAGE SHOWN IN THE MENUS THAT POP UP IN THE LAST PART OF THE TRAILER(ESCRIBE EL MENSAJE COMPLETO QUE APARECE EN LOS DISTINTOS MENUS EN LA PARTE FINAL DEL TRAILER)
