"Pst. Pst. Julio!"
Julio hlated his friend and looked around. "Hola?" but no one answered. "Hola" he cried again.
"Julio. Es me. Down aqui."
Julio looked down on his donkey. Chalupa's mouth parted as words came from his lips.
'Hey Julio." he said.
Julio cried. "Ay carumba" and fell off.
"Woah man. you okay? didn't mean to scare you."
Julio looked at his donkey in shock. "Chalupa?! Que paso?"
"Chill man. I just never had a reason to talk before. Ever since I was a wee burrito, I wanted to be famous. So I practiced the most known language in the world. English. Once I got it down, I was going to go to Hollywood, but right when I was going to go make it big, a man in a sombrero and pancho captured me and forced me to haul stuff. Julio, I know you love me. Help me reach my dream. Help me get famous."
"But how?" asked Julio.
"I'm not sure. Help me find a way!" The donkey pleaded.
Julio snapped his fingers.
"Yo tengo an idea Chalupa."
"Julio...?" the donkey said sweetly.
"yes my dear friend?"
"It's Markus San Rio."
"Que?"
"My name. It's Markus San Rio."
"Ohhh. Lo siento amigo." Julio apologized.
"De nada buddy. If I really cared, I would have told you sooner."
"So I have an idea how to get you famous," Julio proposed. "We're just coming up to Mexico City. In the middle of town swuare, we'll present your talents."
"Muy bueno!"
So they pressed on and eventually reached Mexico City around noon. The town square was buzzing with people. Julio told Chalup or Markus San Rio to speak.
"Hello people of Mexico City. I am a talking donkey!"
Markus San rio held his chest puffed and proud, but nobody payed any attention. "Julio, you need to get me noticed."
Julio looked around and tried to lift the donkey. He used all his might, but did not succeed in lifting the donkey. Then he noticed the wagon the donkey was pulling. He grabbed a bunch of boxes and threw them on the wagon. Everyone stopped and watched the donkey that was slowly rising in the air.
"Now!" cried Julio.
"I am a talking donkey, hear me speak!"
Everyone looked at each other with puzzled looks.
"They don't speak English Markus!" Julio informed.
"Soy un burro que puede hablas olle me." the donkey translated.
"Aaahh." Cried the crowd.
Soon after, Markus San Rio was in thousands of movies and became the most famous donkey in the world.
