The curtain rises

• Look at chapter 12 once again and write down all the information that you can get about Mrs Gonzales and Aunt Mathilda’s character, the way they behave, speak, look, move and so on. When you practise your role play, make sure that you consider all the facts that you have collected!

Chapter 13 – LA BREA (TR. 20 & 21)
Chapter 14 – OVER AND OUT (TR.22)
Doppelt gemoppelt
The tar pit in which the Madonna is hidden is only one of many pits in this area. The whole cluster of pits is called La Brea Tar Pits – which is actually quite a funny name … Can you find out why?
• Go on the internet and look for a translation of the word brea - it’s a Spanish word! Now translate the whole word (La) Brea Tar Pits ................................................................................................
What’s up at La Brea?
The La Brea Tar Pits are not all about tar! There are many other interesting things you can see and do there.
• Go on the internet again and do some investigating! Can you find answers for following questions?
1. What’s the name of the park in which the La Brea Tar Pits can be found?
.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
2. What does the George C. Page Museum have to do with the La Brea Tar Pits?
.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
3. Can you find out what the „fishbowl“ is?
.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
4. What are „Pit 91“ and „Project 23“?
.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
5. Write down at least 5 animals that were found at the La Brea Tar Pits.
.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
„Doppelt gemoppelt“ is a funny expression in German. Unfortu-nately there is no similar word in English. You would need to say “saying the same thing twice over“.

The „black“ Madonna
If you have read the text carefully, this questions will be easy as pie!
• Why is the black Madonna black? Take a sheet of paper and describe how she got her dark colour.
Oops!
… the names of the masked burglars have got mixed up – and some wrong names are on the list by accident
• Take a pen and connect the first names with the matching last names. Cross out the wrong names.
And finally ...
If you have read the last chapter carefully, you will know what is written on Justus’ card that he gives back to Inspector Cotta.
• Write it down.
