Una montaña cualquiera
The residents of the village at the top of the mountain love living there. They get sunshine and fresh air every day, and they also enjoy spectacular views. There's no doubt about it: their village is the best. Their neighbours in the village down below are proud of the river that runs past their houses and of the fields it allows them to farm. Their village is the best, they proudly declare. The residents of up above and down below prepare to celebrate their respective village festivals. Up above, garlands, coloured lights and food have all been prepared ready for the start of the celebration. Down below on the plain, the band and the fireworks are also ready. But when a rocket set off from down below disrupts the celebrations up above with its smoke, conflict is inevitable.
