1. The 12th of October is Columbus Day in Spain and many Spanish speaking countries in South America. The monument to Christopher Columbus in Seville, Spain, was inspired by the story of Columbus and the egg. Find out more by watching the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKCi8cW9_3o

2. He discovered lands previously unknown. He discovered unknown lands. We don‘t know what he looked like. What does he look like? He looks like my brother. It‘s just like you! This story concerns an egg. I am concerned about his health. The problem concerns us all.

3. He was sitting with some Spanish nobles. If you had not discovered the New World, someone else would have (discovered it). If I had been there, I would have done it. How hard could it be? It is hard to say. She works very hard.

4. He asked that fresh eggs be brought to the table. He asked them to bring fresh eggs to the table. I ask you to come. Don‘t ask me to do it. He challenged the nobles to make the eggs stand upright. The egg stood upright. Jack was so drunk that he wasn‘t able to stand upright.

5. All tried unsuccessfully. Were you successful? It is a very successful novel. They insisted that it could not be done. I insist that it is true. I insist that you go there.

6. The seemingly impossible becomes the simplest thing... once someone has shown you how. It takes a genius to discover something new, but afterwards anyone can do it. What do you want to become in life? I want to become an actress.

7. The story has inspired many monuments to Christopher Columbus. Seville has three monuments to Christopher Columbus. Yet most people have only seen two. The tomb of Christopher Columbus is colossal. The bronze egg dwarfs the other monuments. Yet hardly anyone seems to know that it exists.

8. I wondered who created it. I wonder if she comes. Few tourists ever see it. This is a shame. To get an idea of the scale we need a man.
