Welcome to Alex’s Daily Wonders. I’m Alex. Today I’m talking about one of the special things about the city of Caracas. Many people who live there don’t know the names of the streets. Some people don’t even know the name of the street they live on. Now you may wonder __41__ . Well, they use the names of street corners. Yes, their street corners have names. So, if you ask someone where the Bolivarian Museum is, they might say, “It’s between Society Corner and the Waterfall Corner, just a short walk from Saint Jacinto’s Corner.” 

       But__42__ ? Some corner names have stories or a history behind them. For example, there’s a story about Dead Man’s Corner, one of the city’s most famous corners. A long time ago, many people got sick and died on the streets and soldiers were sent to collect the bodies. When they were carrying the bodies past a street corner, one of the bodies cried out that he wasn’t dead! After that, people called that corner Dead Man’s Corner. However, not every corner has an interesting story like that. Some corner names just tell you __43__ , like Hospital Corner and New Bridge Corner. That’s our first wonder of the day. Next we’ll listen to some very special music. I think you’ll find it wonderful too. Don’t go away. I’ll be right back.
