Atahualpa’s Game
[Peruvian]

Sometimes, it’s not wise
To share your wisdom
—as did, Atahualpa
(The Inca King) in the
Game of chess; thereafter,
He was condemned to death.

6/6/05 #713

Note: Atahualpa, was the most famous of the Inca Kings, in the 16th century of Peru, I do relieve, and was held for ransom by the Spaniards. And legend has it, because of a chess game, he was killed, while Catalina Wanka was on her way bringing Gold for his freedom, of which she stopped abruptly, and hid, once finding out, the king was murdered by the Spaniards.

El Juego de Atahualpa

A veces, no es sabio
Compartir su sabidura
—como hizo, Atahualpa
( El Rey inca) en el
Juego de ajedrez; a partir de entonces,
l fue condenado a muerte.

Ica, Witches
[Peruvian]

Do not go to Ica, dear friend
There you may find witches
In toast and bread…

Perhaps lose your head,
Perhaps find them in bed
Perhaps, find yourself dead.

6/6/05 #714 [Ica, is in Northern Peru]

Note: there are stories, that even my wife agrees with, that she has heard that witches haunt this area of Peru; a city in the South part of Peru.

brujas de Ica

No vaya a Ica, querido amigo
All usted puede encontrar brujas-
En tostada y pan …
Quizs pierda su cabeza,
Quizs los encuentre en la cama
Quizs, se encuentre muerto.

A bouquet is usually made just from flowers, but that doesn’t have to be the case. You can make your bouquet more interesting by adding other items, such as candy.

Yeah, you read correctly, I said, Candy!

Candy Bouquets are fun to make, look great, and they are a fantastic talking piece. I
promise that everyone that sees your candy bouquet will feel compelled to comment
on it. Young children in particular, will be absolutely delighted when they see your
candy bouquet!

To make a candy bouquet, you will need:

• 5 Silk Rose Buds
• 1 Bunch of pearlies
• 2 Thin Gauge wires
• 1 Thick Gauge wire
• 9 Lollipops.
• Silk Leaves
• Stem tape (green or white)
• Ribbon

Step 1: Trimming the lollipops
Trim the lollipop sticks to about an inch or two in length, or just below the wrapper.
Later, we will wire and tape the sticks just like normal flowers. We do this so that the
lollipops can be moved around and positioned more easily.

Step 2: Trimming the Rose Buds
Trim the stems on the rose bud heads, and then wire and tape them.

Step 3: Wire the lollipops
To wire the lollipops you will have to put a twist in the wire around the stick of the
lollipop. You will probably have to do this twice, to make sure that the wire is tight
and wont come loose. The easiest way to do this is to use long-nosed plyers, and to
squeeze the wire around the stick.

Step 4: Wire and Tape the Pearlies
Although you don’t need pearlies in your candy bouquet, they can work well to
soften the bouquet, and make it appear more like an everyday floral bouquet.

Wire and tape the pearlies. Place the wire alongside the white part of the pearly
strand, and then stem tape in place.

Step 5: Assemble the Candy Bouquet
Now start to assemble the candy bouquet. Start the bouquet with the lollipops in a
bunch, in one hand.

Then slowly insert the leaves between the lollipops.

Fan the lollipops into a circular shape, with the leaves facing out.

Place the flowers in next, keeping two lollipops between each flower.

Fill any gaps left over at the end, with leaves and pearlies.

Step 6: Add Figure-of-Eight Bows
Make eight figure-of-eight bows, for the last layer of the candy bouquet, and fan
them around the base. You can use normal ribbons or curling ribon.

Step 7: Prepare the handle
The last step in making a candy bouquet is to trim and tape the handle.

That’s it! Simple isn’t it?

All you have to do now, is resist eating the bouquet long enough for some other
people to see it!
