Un ligero ruido que venía <strong>de</strong>l techo<br />

sobresaltó al hermano menor. Miró las<br />

vigas. A la luz temblona <strong>de</strong>l fuego, vido,<br />

horrorizado, que las varas se bían hecho<br />

culebras y siban <strong>de</strong>slizando <strong>de</strong>spacito,<br />

con vueltas <strong>de</strong> trépano. Se puso <strong>de</strong> pie<br />

espantado.<br />

—No se espante, hijito: son las<br />

masacuatas que tengo para que se<br />

coman los ratones. Nuacen nada, son<br />

mansas como gatos.<br />

* * *<br />

—¡Aunque no me quiera, yo nuago esa<br />

papada!<br />

—No seya pen<strong>de</strong>jo, lo va querer esa<br />

babosa pa que liarda a lotra, qués la<br />

consejista <strong>de</strong> que no lo tope.<br />

—¡Mire, Felipe, mi nana no nos crió pa<br />

malos: arrecuer<strong>de</strong> sus conse jos!<br />

—¡Pues váyese al chorizo, istúpido, y<br />

jódase!...<br />

Des<strong>de</strong> aquel día se separaron para<br />

siempre. Felipe empezó a poner en<br />

práctica las lecciones <strong>de</strong> Manuel<br />

Mujica. Pa la Lorenza la muñeca; y pa la<br />

Chabela, y a su propio favor, el puro.<br />

338. A hand-powered drill for wood-working.<br />

176<br />

A sud<strong>de</strong>n noise coming from the roof<br />

scared the younger brother. He looked<br />

up at the beams. With the flickering<br />

light of the fire he saw, horrified, that<br />

the rafters had become snakes and that<br />

they were slithering slowly, turning like<br />

a trepan. 338 He jumped up, scared.<br />

“<strong>Don</strong>’t you worry, son. Those are the<br />

snakes I keep to eat the mice. They are<br />

tame, like cats.”<br />

“Even if she don’t love me, I will not do<br />

this.”<br />

“<strong>Don</strong>’t be stupid. She’s gonna love you<br />

and the sister, who advises her against<br />

you, will be hurt.”<br />

“Look, Felipe, ma didn’t raise us to be<br />

bad, remember her advice!”<br />

“So fuck off you idiot. Fuck you!”<br />

Since that day they separated forever.<br />

Felipe began to put into practice the<br />

lessons of Manuel Mujica, the sorcerer.<br />

For Lorenza the doll; and for Chabela, at<br />

his own request, the cigar prayer.<br />
