  1. Pío Pista El caso del mercado negro

  2. El caso del mercado negro • Where did we leave off from the last case? • What do you think about María now? Double-agent? Loyal to ORDEN? Full-fledged member of LOCO? • What is a mercado negro? What do we mean by that? • Is there a black market in other countries? • Do you know anything about El Salvador? • Take a guess: What do you think a pupusa is?

  3. Capítulo 1, página 18-19 • What name would you give a guinea pig? • What name does Pío Pista give the guinea pig? • Find Libertad on the map, knowing it is a puerto. • What would that city translate to in English? • What exactly do guinea pigs eat? • What sign does Pipi give Pío about where to find María?

  4. Capítulo 2, página 19-20 • Colones were the original money of El Salvador. What was it named after? • What currency does El Salvador use now? • Who was the waitress? • Translate the note at the bottom of 19 (notice the use of ustedes—to whom does that refer?) • Okay, who can act out the escape on page 20? We need Pío and the “man with the black hat”.

  5. Capítulo 3, página 21 • Can anyone act out driving a Segway in class? • Find the line that says: “Is María safe?” • Who do you think is the man in the black hat? • How does Pipi show Pío the way to the Mercado? • Describe the scene at the market. • What is a pupusa? • Have you ever tried a jícama? What does it taste like?

  6. Capítulo 4, página 22-23 • What is the vendor offering Pío? • What precaution to Pío take before trying the jícama? • What does veneno mean? • What ends up happening with the jícama? • Does Pío suspect anything about the explosion? • What happens with the bean Pío tries to feed Pipi? • Okay, did anyone figure out the fart reference?

  7. Capítulo 5, página 23-24 • Why are all of these salesmen trying to give Pío free stuff? • Pío finally figures out what happens. What’s his joke at the end of the first paragraph? • So, have you figured out what a pupusa is yet? • Have these conversations been in the formal (usted) or informal (tú) form?

  8. Capítulo 6, página 24-25 • What does this mean? “¿Usted quiere comprar una pupusa, pero usted no sabe qué es?” • What excuse does the salesman give for selling out of his car rather than at the market? • So what is a pupusa? • What is the stuffing chicharrón? • Did Pío get a good deal bargaining for the pupusas? • How did the salesman say “look out”? • What’s the difference between caliente and picante?

  9. Capítulo 7, página 26 • Would you like to try a pupusa? • Find the word “sound” in Spanish. • What is Pipi doing and what assumption does Pío make? • Is the play on words funny?: Pipi es mi salvador en El Salvador • Is there more to this guinea pig than meets the eye?

  10. Capítulo 8, página 26-27 • Why is “calientes” in quotation marks? What’s funny about that word in this context? • What is Potencia? • How do you say “I burp” in Spanish? • Note: pica should probably be pincha. A bird is more likely to picar. In any case, this guinea pig seems to be too amazing . . . Right? • What does María claim? • María says “tú lo tienes pero no lo sabes” What do you think she means by that? • How does María put Pío out?

  11. Informe, página 27 • Once again, what information does Pío hold back? • This report shows that Pío found out a few things that he didn’t appear to understand in the mercado. What does he now know (or seem to know)?
