00:28Boy named Federico left to buy ingredients to make the perfect pico
00:34Cuidado called his mama as he pedaled toward the shops
00:38Mind a buey lows grocery list and don't make other stops
00:43Past the buildings cars and cabs young Federico scurried until he reached the marketplace where people browsed
00:50unhurried
00:52He filled the basket on his bike with Roma's herbs and limes jalapenos onions and a peck of anaheim's
00:59he added garlic pickles bread and other market goods then pedaled through the city park and deep into the woods a
01:07Fallen branch had blocked the path so Rico stopped his ride
01:11With steady force he pushed and budged the barrier aside
01:15Ola called un Lobo catching Rico unaware
01:19I see you've packed a hefty lunch
01:22You got some grub to spare
01:25Sorry, I oboe
01:27Rico said I must to be at grandpa's shop by 12 o'clock today
01:33Federico grabbed his bike and left the wolf behind
01:37Little did he know the wolf had other plans in mind
01:41La tie and ah was deserted
01:44Rico listened not a sound
01:47The sign said closed and
01:50What were those?
01:52some paw prints on the ground
01:54Fade a Rico peeked inside alarmed by what he saw a
01:59figure waved him over with a large and furry paw a
02:02Buey low whispered fade a Rico pulling off his hood
02:07Yes, it's me, but I can't see
02:10Come closer if you would a
02:13I think you need a shave
02:16Your beard has grown so thick

02:27My new workouts made me strong

02:32They help me chew because they're sharp and
02:35long

02:39All this chatters getting old
02:42I'm hungry, bub. I
02:44Need some grub before I pass out cold

02:58jar of pickled beets
03:01El Lobo's nose began to twitch
03:04Me no. No, here's the deal
03:06Set those yucky things aside, and I'll make you my meal
03:10He bounded from la cella with a grunting growling shout
03:15But Rico tossed some chili powder straight into his snout
03:20the wolf inhaled
03:22He sniffed
03:23He snuffled
03:25He itched and twitched and wheezed
03:28He tried to wipe his drippy nose
03:31but ah sneezed
03:34Fade a Rico ducked and dashed then rummaged through his sack
03:38Not so fast you tasty tyke I
03:42Haven't had my snack
03:44But Rico quickly plotted
03:47When the wolf's mouth opened wide
03:50He grabbed you n habanero, and he jammed it deep inside
03:54El Lobo gulped
03:56He gagged and coughed
03:59His oh-hose blazed bright red
04:02Steam was puffing out his ears. I
04:05Need to dunk my head
04:07He hurtled through La Porta with a shrieking gasping scream and dashed as fast as he could go toward the distant stream
04:15Ada cried abuelo from inside a bolted box
04:19Rico found him safe and snug in just his shorts and socks
