PITIRRE DOES NOT WANT TO SPEAK ENGLISH

Mr Owl: The white color represents peace; peace in which all of us would like to live in. Peace represents freedom. Yes. Freedom means to air our flag along with other nations, to proudly sing our national anthem along with other countries, to posses our own currency without stamped images on it of leaders from a foreign land, to do business with any republic without fetter imperialist governments circumscribing restrictions to our personal freedoms. (All the students clapped with fervor to the teacher; there are tears coming out from their eyes.) The green symbolizes life. It is the color of our mountains: the fecundity fo our land. You are that fertility; you represent the life and future of our land.
