Answer 1

Les ofrezco un Cuento de la Selva, por Horacio Quiroga: El Potro Salvaje. enter link description here

Es un cuento muy filosófico y hoy en día me siento como el potro maduro, tengo lo que deseaba, pero he perdido mi corazon ardiente.

I offer you Haracio Quirogas story about the wild colt. This is a philosphical tale and nowadays I fel just like the colt, when he had reach maturity but had lost his generous heart.

Read it and be warned. - annierats, Jun 29, 2012

Is that First Aid? We don't have any first responders, kindly explain. This is not an insult, before you flag me, please, cultural difference. - annierats, Jun 29, 2012

Sorry Eddy, comment was for Cleppie. I vote for your good suggestions. - annierats, Jun 29, 2012

To be honest Annie, I didn't know what a first responder was as well. - Eddy, Jun 29, 2012

Answer 3

Gracias a annierats.

A First Responder is a person whose job entails being the first on the scene of an emergency, such as a firefighter, police officer, and EMT (Emergency Medical Technician), Paramedic, etc. A civilian can also become a First Responder by taking courses in First Aid, etc. I hope that makes sense.

Thanks Cleppie! It does, my son is training to be a paramedic, as it happens. - annierats, Jun 29, 2012

It's good to explain because this site is very international, which is good thing. - annierats, Jun 29, 2012

Great! I will be training for my paramedic degree in a year and a half. Good luck to him then! - 00e5a88f, Jun 29, 2012

Right, I will be more careful to clarify next time. - 00e5a88f, Jun 29, 2012
