Speech Mario Toribio

Good night! This will only take 5 minutes of your time. I’ve been chosen to speak before eating the cake. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Mario and I’m one of the best friends of the birthday boy, Paul.

When I was told to speak in front of fifty persons I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it. But here I am, in front of a lot of teenagers, talking about nothing.  So, now that I’m here I will explain some funny things about Paul. I remember the day we met, twelve years ago. We were in primary school and it was art class. Paul had some play dough in his hands and he was making food shapes with it. He made a big ball and screamed “Orange!” and later, he ate it.  Luckily, the teacher could remove the ball from his mouth. He started crying and begging to the teacher to return him his orange.

I have lots of funny and embarrassing stories about Paul but I’m not here to humiliate anyone so there’s only one thing I can say: happy birthday and enjoy this awesome party Paul has organized for all of us!

Cisneros Toribio, Mario
