There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. For the Spanish sentences, edit your posts according to the native Spanish speaker's suggestions. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.
Guidelines:
Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game.

Cuando se desbordó el río PanPan cerca de la casa de paja donde vivían los tres cerditos, ellos mantuvieron la calma y arreglaron el techo para navigar. También se hicieron unos buenos bocadillos para el viaje . Navigaron por una semana, mas o menos, hasta que el techo fue arrastrado por las ramas de un árbol. Los cerditos, quienes habían comido todos los bocadillos el primer día mantenían el ánimo cantando villancicos porque no sabían otras canciónes. Y un día salió el sol y el campo empezaba a secarse.
When the River PanPan broke it's banks near the straw-house where the Three Little Pigs lived , they stayed calm and prepared their roof for sailing. They also made themselves some tasty sandwiches for the journey. They sailed for a week or so, until the roof got entangled in the branches of a tree. The Little Pigs, who had eaten their sandwiches the first day kept their spirits up by singing Christmas Carols as they didn't know any other songs. And one day the sun came out again and the ground started to dry up.
