New Game - Find a Word SH _ _ / _

Question

The idea is to find an English word of 4 or 5 letters that starts with SH

SH_ _ /_ There are none that I know of in Spanish.

And then write a short sentence in English and Spanish using that word.

Example:

The Shard is a very tall building in London and a word for a piece of broken glass.

El Shard es un edificio muy alto en Londres y una palabra para un trozo de cristal roto.

Have a look at this too

Eso es todo, fácil ¿no?

This was the previous challenge

Great post mate, not an easy one, maybe , we have some good minds here. - ray76, Jul 21, 2013
