LA MUJER y EL PERRO PEQUEÑO
The Woman and the Little Dog
Adaptation, Assessments and Illustrations by Bryce Hedstrom
Based on the urban legend The Mexican Pet
This story is based on the popular urban legend commonly known as The Mexican Pet. It can be taught to a level I
class in 2-3 weeks. Urban legends are humorous or horrific stories that are passed around as if they were true. They
are often told as if they have been picked up by someone that is vaguely related to the teller—usually a “friend of a
friend”. Urban legends have staying power because they are interesting stories and because they say something
that resonates with the hearers.
Like most urban legends, there are warnings and cultural values that are shared in this tale—not all of them savory.
Students will get the chance to discuss any negative stereotypes they pick up in the story at the end of the final
extended version when the whole truth of the tale is revealed. The subtext in this urban legend is amazing. In
almost all versions the lady lives in the southwest U.S.—close enough to Mexico that she should know at least
something about it. In many on-line and print versions, the lady actually lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, a
prosperous town with well-educated citizens at the edge of the southwest and home of a notable veterinary school—
which may imply that she should know better.
This urban legend is presented as a series of stories was written almost entirely with high frequency Spanish words.
As students go through the versions they pick up the story and new words are scaffolded on to that knowledge. Each
new version has about twice the total words as the previous version and provides a richer description of the thinking
and actions of the characters. A few new words are added to each version and the result is a clearer and more
detailed picture of the entire story. Because students know the core words, the newer words fit in logically with the
story they already know and are acquired naturally as they progress through each version of the story.

8 new focus words,
82 total words in the story
181 total words in the story
363 total words in the story
852 total words in the story
Even though each version has additional words, not every word will be new to each student. Most students will see
words that they recognize in the lists for each new version. This will hopefully be encouraging to the students.
Underlying ideas to look for as you read the versions:
• What fears and stereotypes are implied in the story?
• Who seems more content in this story?
• Who seems to sleep better?
• Does wealth always equal contentment?
• Are wealthier people always smarter? Are they always clueless? Are they always evil?
• How do our perceptions influence how we experience the world?
• This urban legend has been passed around for years. Why does it have such staying power?
The words in bold print and underlined on the pre-reading vocabulary lists are the focus vocabulary, the ones
that are the most important for each particular version and can be pre-taught with gestures. They are divided into
the focus words for each version of the story.
