!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

    A "paddle" is a small flat and a pad-like object that is made-up usually of a hard kind of wood or plastic. Paddle(s) are usually situated at either one or both extreme ends of a pole. It is used for moving and maneuvering small and primitive sea transport such as canoes, Philippine "bancas " or "vintas" driven by physical force (usually exerted by human).
