THE BOOK OF
SPICS
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF EL DORADO
The bullfight gets a whole chapter
Chapter 6
Unfortunately, the Spics’ aversion to reading and writing made it harder for them to make history,
2kSince when something happens and nobody writes it down, it’s a lot like it never happened at all,
3lWhich is one way to sum up Spic culture.
4For example, the Spics had one historical figure,
5Known as mEl Cid,
6Who did something or other,
7But no one really knows what it was.
8The Spics also produced one work of literature, called ‘Don Quixote,’ which was written by a prisoner,
9nWho fortunately was low enough on the Spic social scale that he could get away with being able to write.
10‘Don Quixote’ is the story of an old tall Spic who tilted windmills for a living,
11With a short squire named oSancho Panza who pushed on the lower part of the windmill,
12While pDon Quixote pushed on the upper part of the windmill, from the other side.
13This method of windmill tilting is the only known accomplishment of Spic technology,
14Except, of course, for the many religious artifacts they developed during the qSpanish Inquisition.
