Carmelita adores greeting everyone in her vibrant neighborhood. The community is filled with people from diverse cultures! They all love exchanging hellos, so now Carmelita can say hello in Spanish, English, French, Japanese, and various other languages. As for her dog, Manny? He seems to comprehend everyone perfectly and happily responds with a „Woof!“ wherever he roams.
