In the western region of Extremadura, a farmer named Don Julián built a barn with a very thin and fragile roof. One morning, a huge gust of wind arrived without warning, lifting the roof and blowing it far away. When Don Julián finally found it, it was bent, crumpled, and completely useless. A friend of his said: “I’m sure the Ford Motor Company will pay you a good price for that scrap.” Don Julián decided to try his luck. He packed the roof into a huge wooden crate, nailed it shut, and wrote his address in big letters so they would know where to send the check. Then he sent it all the way to Avilés, in Asturias, hoping to hear back soon. Twelve weeks passed. Don Julián had heard nothing. Just as he was about to write to ask what was going on, he received a huge envelope from Ford. With trembling hands, he opened it and read: “We don’t know what hit your car, but we will have it fixed by the fifteenth of next month.”

The journey of the story
The volunteer who stayed in the room tells the story to the first volunteer who was outside.
That volunteer tells it to the next one, and so on.
Each person tells the story as they remember it.
BEGIN
The final result
The last volunteer tells the story out loud.
Then we will hear the original story again.

Group reflection
How did the story change along the way?
What parts were forgotten or added?
Why do you think this happened?
What can we learn from how we remember and tell stories?
BEGIN
Final Reflection
1. Reflection on memory and perception “Notice this: each person remembers and interprets the story differently. That doesn’t mean anyone did ‘wrong.’ Our memory selects, completes, or transforms details based on what we notice and what stands out to us. Which parts do you remember best? Why do you think that is?” 2. Connection to real-life communication “Now let’s think about everyday life: What we say and how we say it affects how others receive it. Rumors, news, or stories passed from person to person can get distorted. Each of us has a responsibility for how we share information.”
BEGIN
Final Reflection
3. Main takeaway “This activity teaches us that: Words are powerful and can change along the way. Listening carefully is as important as telling. Before sharing something, it’s important to check and be mindful of how we communicate. In other words, a story can travel… but it depends on us to make it reach others clearly.” 4. Closing question “If you had to give advice to someone about telling stories or sharing information, what would it be?”
