—Mirá, Lupe —le dijo—, andá con
cuidado con la Cande: ya maliseya...
—¿Eh?...
—No me gustan tantito, sus caidas
diojos, sus pandiadas al pararse. Méi
fijado que deja a ratos de moler y se
come las uñas; además, le ondeya el
pecho como a las palomas. Andá con
cuidado, te digo...
—Dice bien, Nayo; yo también la héi
oservado. Se chiqueya, sin querer;
se mira nél espejo, cada vez quentra
aquí; y, a ratos, da brincos de calofriyo.
También no me gustan las cosas que
me cuenta. Dice quel otro día, cuando
Nicho la tentó jugando, sintió un
burbujeyo extraño. Además se le van
los ojos, coge juergo a cada rato, le pica
la palmelamano.
—Pa que veyás. Andále con tiento, no
se nos descantiye con algún malvado.
—Decíle al Nicho que no liaga tanta
fiesta.
—Se lo vuá poner en conocimiento, a
ese infeliz.

“Look, Lupe,” he told her, “be careful
with Cande, she is acting all flirty.”
“What?”
“I don’t like it at all when her eyes
are flirting, and the way she stands.
I noticed that she stops her chores
and that she bites them nails of hers.
Besides, her chest is waving as if she
were a pidgeon. 165 Just be careful, I
say.”
“You right, Nayo. I also seen her. She
gets quiet for no reason, she looks in
the mirror everytime she comes in here,
and sometimes she gets the shivers.
Besides, ah don’t like the things she tell
me. She says that the other day, when
Nicho touched her while they were
playin’, she felt a strange tinglin’. Her
eyes can’t be quiet; she dances around
all the time, her palms itch.
“Now you know. Be tactful so that she
don’t run away with some jerk.”
“Tell Nicho not to tell her she’s so
pretty.”
“I’m a talk to that son of a bitch.”
