      Felipe and the Three Turtles - Victor Barahona M.D.

      BARAHONA

      PROLOGUE

      Felipe and the three turtles is a book about a child named Felipe. Felipe sees the world around him through his eyes. He learns everything his mother teaches him, and also learns from people he meets and his conversations with three turtles. From personal experience he learns about volcanoes, the genius incas, earthquakes, tidal waves, and also about the ways of the arequipa people. These are lessons necessary for Felipe to learn because at some point or another everyone should learn about these things.

      All the characters in this novel are real except Maria and Rosa. Erika and Alessandra Barahona are excellent soccer players. Erika is the youngest referee of FIFA.

      Everything presented in this book are facts about the real poverty that exists in Peru. Children live in poverty stricken conditions due to the indifference of past & present peruvian governments. Its government pretends to want to do something about poverty but only mentions the word poverty in their presidential campaigns. They make promises but never fulfill them. They only care about giving away riches and resources to private companies and contractors, all the while people are suffering of hunger and drinking contaminated water. Their water contains arsenic, mercury, and lead that is produced by mining companies. The peruvian government has never cancelled their contracts, nor have these companies ever received penalties in fines of substantial amounts of dollars. Their penalties have been very small and not enough to treat the people contaminated in places like callao and La Oroya or in all Peru.

      By reading this book teachers and children can genuinely see the reality of the existence of 16 million people that are facing poverty in Peru.

      This book is especially dedicated with all my heart to all the poor children of Peru and throughout the world.

      FELIPE AND THE THREE TURTLES

      COPYRIGHT © 2007 VICTOR BARAHONA M.D.

      This is a story of 3 turtles that travel from the United States to Arequipa, Peru to visit Felipe.

      Turtles: Hi! Felipe, how are you?

      Felipe: I’m fine, nice to see you.

      Turtles: Let us introduce ourselves! My name is Jose. I am a male turtle and as you can see, I have dark neck. My name is Chaker. I’m a female Russian Tortoise and my family is from Russia. My name is Susi and I was born in the United States."

      Chaker: Felipe I want to ask you something. What do you know about turtles?

      Felipe: You know, I don’t know much about them, would you like to teach me?

      Susi: "Yes Felipe, we are land turtles. Our cousins are river turtles from Peru in the rainforest they are called Charapas. Sea turtles exist as well."

      Chaker: Did you know we don’t have teeth? But we always clean our mouths after every meal. Felipe do you brush your teeth with a toothbrush after every meal?

      Felipe: Yes, I brush my teeth whenever I remember to. My mom always has to remind me to brush after every meal. I sometimes forget because I want to go out and play.

      Jose: Yes, Felipe it is very important to take care of your teeth in order to prevent cavities especially when children drink sodas because they can harm our bodies.

      Felipe: Don’t worry Jose. My mom doesn’t let me buy or drink sodas. She prefers to give me fruit juices. What’s more, she is a fantastic cook! I love the way she cooks.

      Felipe: Let’s see little turtles, what do you eat?

      Susi: Well, I like lettuce.

      Chaker: Yes, I like lettuce too! I also like apples and carrots. They are delicious and contain vitamin A.

      Jose: I like to eat vegetables, apples and peaches.

      Susi: "Felipe, do you like to eat Cocoliche?"

      Felipe: "I don’t even know what Cocoliche is. I’ll ask my mom and my grandma, that I love so much. She is wise and I learn a lot from her."

      Felipe: Do you turtles exercise?

      Jose: Yes. Victor takes me to the park everyday. I like to walk in the grass. I also like to hide behind plants because I love the smell of wet soil. Oh and I also like to play races with Susi and Chaker.

      Felipe: How is it that I can understand you? You don’t make any noise.

      Susi: We communicate by telepathy. We don’t have any vocal cords and we can’t make noise. We don’t talk like people do. When children or adults beat us, we open our mouth as a sign of pain. When people kill us, because we can’t scream, they think we don’t feel pain. But all animals feel pain if someone hurts them.

      Susi: Felipe when you grown up, are you going to be the protector of all turtles and protector of all animals throughout the world?

      Felipe: Yes, I promise that all my life I will defend and protect animals. I will not allow them to live in cages. I will protect the animals of the rainforest so that they will not become extinct because many of those animals are being killed. Men are cutting down their trees, they are destroying the rainforest. There are also other countries that don’t protect their jungles like Madagascar and Brasil. They burn all their trees and very soon those areas will become a desert. I will not let that happen!

      Chaker: Thank you Felipe. I know you are going to be a big successful man. One that will protect us and when you see an animal in a cage, you will let it be free and he will be grateful.

      Jose: "Alright! Felipe where is the Pichin room (bathroom)?"

      Felipe: Yes, right next to us.

      Susi: What are you studying Felipe?

      Felipe: I’m going to school. I like to learn how to write, add, subtract, multiply, how to do trigonometry, and geometry. I also like to learn English so that I can communicate with other people that speak English. I also like to learn Quechua and Aymara which are the native languages of the genius Incas which we must preserve from our ancestors.

      Chaker: Why do you say that the pre-Incas and Incas were genius?

      Felipe: I’m going to teach you, because I like to teach others what I learn. The Incas were the only civilization in the world that changed the climate. If you go to Puno in the town of Sillustani, you will see the lake fingers and inside the ground in the center of the lake it is very cold and plants like potatoes, olluco, oca, corn, don’t grow there. But during the day the sun evaporates the water and the temperature begins to increase and creates a tropical environment and in the ground fingers the Incas planted corn, olluco, potatoes, quinua, kiwicha, etc.

      Chaker: That is wonderful! I would like to travel in the past and have a conversation with the genius Incas.

      Felipe: Did you know that the Incas knew about the planets, the galaxy, and comets? They named each planet in Quechua and Aymara without having telescopes.

      Jose: I just came back, I also want to learn from Felipe and what they have taught him in school.

      Felipe: Yes, Jose I will teach you all the nice things I learn. I get happy when I learn something new.

      Susi: Let me ask you Felipe, when you cut your fingers nails does it hurt?

      Felipe: No Susi it doesn’t because they are dead cells. There is no sensibility.

      Susi: "So that you can learn Felipe, we turtles, have conical nails. They are like tubes. If you cut our nails we bleed and it hurts a lot. So you must never cut a turtles’ nails. This hard shell on our back is to protect us from other animals or people that want to kill us. We just hide our head inside our shell when we are scared.

      We have another light shell inside our abdomen and chest as well, to protect our heart and abdomen. Both shells are joined together on each side. We also have a small tail, and we like to shake our tail!"

      Felipe: Thanks, I am learning a lot! With my mom, I will go on the internet to find out more about turtles. I like to learn new things. I will also watch a video that Victor sent me.

      Jose: Yes, well as we were saying, we have 5 fingers and nails on each hand and 4 fingers and nails on each foot. You know Felipe, when we sleep we like to be covered with a blanket and we also like to have a small pillow to rest our heads on.

      Chaker: We also like to hide in corners. We like dark places to rest and close our eyes and sleep.

      Susi: Also, we like to bathe. We want our skin to be healthy. We use natural soap that doesn’t have color or antibacterial ingredients because those kinds of soaps are harmful.

      Felipe: "Yes, my mom washes her hair with boliche. I’ve never seen the boliche but my grandma has. I will ask her."

      Jose: Let me tell you, we turtles we have a bacteria called salmonella. If you touch us then put your hand in your mouth we can contaminate you. When you eat you could get the bacteria in your system and it will cause diarrhea. So when you see a turtle you must only see it but not touch it.

      Susi: Felipe, I see that you have receive a portable piano that can be changed into a guitar. What are you going to do with it?

      Felipe: It is very nice, I thank Victor for the nice present and I’m hoping to develop my musical abilities by asking my mom to enroll me in a school where I can take piano lessons. Who knows, maybe I am a child prodigy. I know that many children in Peru have musical abilities and haven’t developed them because they don’t have a musical instrument to become geniuses in Peruvian music.

      Jose: I didn’t know that. Well, Felipe we have traveled many hours from the United States and we would like to sleep and rest. Can we continue our conversation tomorrow?

      Felipe: Sure, I have an idea. I know my home is small but I have a big heart. Why don’t you stay here? I will ask my mom, and I don’t think she is going to say no.

      Susi: Thank you Felipe. When you came to the United States you can stay at our home.

      Felipe: Yes, when I grow up, I will go to the United States to visit you. You can show me your city.

      Felipe: Mom we have some turtles visiting from the United States and they are my friends, can they stay in our home?

      Maria Eugenia: Yes Felipe and make sure to cover them very well because it’s a cold night. Tomorrow we will prepare them food.

      Felipe: Thanks for being so generous and warm hearted mom. Good night Jose, Susi, Chaker.

      Chaker, Susy, Jose all together say: "Have a good night’s rest Felipe and we will
