Cinco de Mayo at Frankie Lemmon

Ben: "Charlotte, What on earth is Cinco de Mayo? Do you know?"

Charlotte: "No sé."

Marlon: "Bilal, do you know?"

Bilal: "Ask me later – after I finish this wonderful flan."

Marlon: "What's flan?"

Bilal: "It's sort of a Mexican baked caramel custard – and it's Ohh so good! Ms White made it for Cinco de Mayo."






Cristopher: "Ms Forbis, what's Cinco de Mayo?"

Ms Forbis: "Maybe I can help. Cinco means five. Right?"

Cristopher: "Right, Ms Forbis."


Ms Forbis: "And look what it says in our book Cinco de Mouse-o! – right on the first page: 'On the fifth of May, Mouse woke up and wriggled his whiskers. Spicy smells tickled his nose—beany, cheesy, ricey smells. A Mexican fiesta. ¡Fantástico!' In other words, Cristopher, Cinco de Mayo means the fifth of May. That's Saturday. To our Mexican and Latino friends, it's like our fourth of July."

Miss Paula (just entering the room): "Friends, let's celebrate – and that means fiesta! ¡Cinco de Mayo! ¡Que Felicidad!"
