January 2002
NEW MOVIE - "THE MONSTER INVADES"
The famous actor on television prepares for his scene
with the horrible monster that invades the hospital:
The monster enters the hospital and the actor - a
doctor, the hero - escapes into the elevator.
The scene continues - the monster destroys the
electricity in the hospital.
So, the hero occupies the restaurant in the hospital
behind (detrás) the refrigerator.
The monster enters the kitchen (cocina) and sees (vee)
the doctor.
The doctor explodes a bomb in front of the monster.
The monster is cut and unconscious.
The doctor examines the ugly (feo) monster. The
monster is in critical condition.
The doctor tries (tratar) to save the monster with an
operation for the future of science.
The operation is complicated. The condition of the
monster deteriorates.
The doctor declares: "The operation is impossible, but
(pero) I will try. I detest this monster but I must
(debo) cure this terrible creature for the future of
science. This monster tried (trató) to exterminate the
human race (...), but  I must try an experiment to
save (salvar) him (lo) - because he has a human  right
(derecho humano) to  exist also (tambíen)."
 So the doctor inoculates the monster with an
experimental drug. 
Another (un otro ) doctor protests: "This monster will
exterminate us (nos)."
"No," says the hero. "We must reconstruct the
monster's body (cuerpo) for the human race. Perhaps
(quisas) the monster can reform and benefit the
future."

And so the monster recuperates and becomes a good
citizen, joining the human race.
