Clavó una cruz <strong>de</strong> palo en un pilar<br />

y or<strong>de</strong>nó que se <strong>de</strong>jaran abiertas<br />

las puertas para que oreara, que se<br />

<strong>de</strong>senmontaran los contornos, que se<br />

cogieran las goteras, se plantaran flores<br />

en el suelo y se colgaran macetas <strong>de</strong> las<br />

vigas.<br />

Días <strong>de</strong>spués, el cura pudo ver la casa<br />

resucitada. El patio liso y barrido,<br />

las enreda<strong>de</strong>ras trepándose por las<br />

pare<strong>de</strong>s y las macetas colgadas <strong>de</strong> las<br />

vigas. Sonriente y gordo, palmeó en la<br />

espalda <strong>de</strong> Ulalio y le dijo:<br />

—¿Conque, embrujada, eh?...<br />

—¡No creya Padre, entuavía sioye un<br />

bisbiseyo!...<br />

the moldings be removed, the leaks<br />

see the house resurrected. The patio<br />

cleared and swept, the ivy climbing on<br />

the walls, and flowerpots hanging from<br />

the beams. The smiling and chubby<br />

priest gave Ulalio a pat on the back as<br />

he said:<br />

“I thought you said it was haunted...”<br />

“Just you wait, Father. I can still hear<br />

bumps in the night...”
