Simplified Example: Spanish

Cuando yo era niño, mis abuelos aún vivían en un pueblo cercano a la capital. Mis padres me llevaban los fines de semana a visitarlos. Todos disfrutábamos de esos días porque íbamos al río con mis tíos y mis primos. La comida familiar parecía una fiesta porque mi familia tenía muchos miembros y ramos muy unidos ¡Qué tiempos aquellos!

Simplified Example: English

When I was a little boy my grandparents still lived in a town close to the capital. My parents would take me to visit them on the weekends. We all enjoyed those days because we would go to the river with my aunts and uncles and my cousins. Having lunch with the relatives seemed like a party because my family had so many members and we were very close. What great times those were!
