Cuando volvía de las compras con mi hijo, cuatros coches de bomberos sonando con las sirenas fueron cerca de nosotros. Pero mi niño se mostraba muy entero y observaba cómo los bomberos apagaban el incendio.

When I was coming back from shopping with my son, four fire engines sounding their sirens went by. But my son remained calm and watched the fire fighters putting down the fire.

(lots of mistakes I guess...)

"ustedes" --> "desean". - samdie, Oct 26, 2009
Oops, and "ustedes" --> "deben". P..S. no "que". - samdie, Oct 26, 2009
Thanks: for sure "deben". The "que" -- I wrote it without the "que", read it and put the "que" in -- how funny. - Daniel, Oct 26, 2009

Hello, anyone there? The Word of the Day is a great way to add up to your vocabulary, practise making sentences in Spanish... and so few people seem to use this opportunity. C'mon, c'mon! (cheering)
