On disait dans le livre: "Les serpents boas avalent leur proie toute entière, sans la mâcher. Ensuite ils ne peuvent plus bouger et ils dorment pendant les six mois de leur digestion."
J'ai alors beaucoup réfléchi sur les aventures de la jungle et, à mon tour, j'ai réussi, avec un crayon de couleur, à tracer mon premier dessin. Mon dessin numéro. Il était comme ça:
In the book, it said: "Boas swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. Then they cannot move and they sleep during the six months of digestion."
I then reflected on the adventures of the jungle and, in time, I drew my first picture with a crayon. It was like this:

The President of Venezuela Obtains Absolute Power
Original Article
Just as predicted, the National Assembly of Venezuela yesterday approved the call "Enabling Law," that grants President Maduro exceptional powers to legislate without the necessity of parliamentary oversight for one year. The successor of Hugo Chávez requested the "Enabling" from Parliament this past October 8, some special powers that he will use, he said, to "tidy up" the county and look for economic solutions. The opposition, for their part, has no doubt that the objective [of this law] is to give add a shovelful of dirt on the grave of the country's democratic system.
After the first vote in the Assembly, whose highest official already pronounced his support [in his day] for awarding the president legislative powers, Maduro attended yesterday triumphantly the headquarters of Parliament to receive the announcement, surrounded by a concentration of Chavistas.
The party hardliners have the required three-fifths majority of the votes to approve these powers thanks to the "yes" of a substitute, who assumed his seat this past Tuesday. The key vote of Maduro was obtained after removal the parliamentary privilege of an opposition MP, so that she would be put on trial for supposed previous crimes of 2010, the year she was elected.
With the law "of Enabling," Nicolás Maduro will be able to govern for a year, as requested, without the laws he considers necessary being passed through Parliament, something that will permit him, in his words, to continue the fight against corruption in a "new dimension."
After the parliamentary process of "harakiri," the president of Venezuela today intends to promulgate two laws to fight corruption and the "economic war" what, he claims, faces his government.
"They are the Law of Cost, Profit, and Protection of Just Prices, and the new Law of External Commerce to guarantee the control of imports and the promotion of Venezuelan exports. I aim Wednesday, as soon as the sun is up, for the laws to go out," said Maduro in an act of government in the state of Aragua (central).
The president announced an extreme offensive against corruption and the stock piling of luxuries [acaparamiento de cara -- I was unable to find a good translation, and when I Googled the term to see how it was used, this article was the whole first page of results.] for next January. Pre of this "offensive against the economic war imposed by the oligarchs, and that will leave prices where they need to be" are the orders for controlling various systems of applicants and the controls in toy stores, clothing stores, and car lots, that now have to sell at "fair prices," up to 70% lower.
The Venezuelan government has accused the owners of controlled stores of working with profit margins of 1,000, as fraud at the time of purchasing the preferred foreign currencies at the control of the state. [I don't... get it.]
Justifying his latest economic methods, Nicolás Maduro did not take it easy on his critics. The people "with their awareness have defeated the bad omens of the right, that are complicit with the speculators who predicted pillaging and chaos," said the Venezuelan chief of state.

Un Paragraphe de Le Petit Prince
Lorsque j'avais six ans j'ai vu, une fois, une magnifique image, dans un livre sur la Forêt Vierge qui s'appelait "Histoire Vécues." Ça représentait un serpent boa qui avalait un fauve. Voilà la copie du dessin.
When I was six years old, I saw, one time, a magnificent image, in a book about the Vierge Forest that was called "Personal Histories." It represented a boa [snake] that swallowed a wild animal. There's the copy of the picture.

The Christmas Campaign in Seville Starts on November 29 This Year
Original Article
The Christmas lights that the town hall of Sevilla installed
downtown and in the main commercial streets will begin on November
29 this year, a few days early, in hopes of encouraging commerce and shopping, in order to strengthen
the brand of Sevilla as a Christmas tourist destination.
The estimated cost for the Christmas lights this year comes to €447,750
and has numerous additions compared with last year. First, 26 new streets will be
illuminated, in addition to so many others that the districts and neighborhood
commercial associations decide to
decorate.
The Plaza del Salvador will have a new illumination system
that has been copied from one installed in the Coven Garden in London
in 2008. There will be an original illumination made of LEDs that will be constantly moving and that will cover the whole plaza.
The Avenida de la Constitución will also change. Because the
town hall, according to Maximiliano Vílchez, has decided to replace the decorations
from last year and exchange them for ones inspired by the stained-glass windows of
the cathedral and the azucenas
(Madonna lilys) of the Giralda.
Additionally, there will be an uninterrupted trail of
Christmas lights between the Prado and the Barqueta. The mapping [the article said mapping, I assume it means setting up the lights all over town] will also
continue to be celebrated as a public spectacle between December 19 and January
5, in a distinct and innovative performance and with new technical resources.
