Lilime Ndodo, mtundu wakale.

Nayi nkhani yabwino kwambiri yomwe abambo anga adandiwuza, adawerenganso chiyambi chake ... chiyambi chomwe sindimachikumbukira, ndipo nthawi zina chimakhala ngati sichinakhaleko. Koma monga bambo anga, ndimaphonya ndikamamvera ma cicada.

Anali kuchokera kumphepete mwa chigwa chimene anaona kuti ikuuluka, mu madzulo a pemphero. Zinkawoneka ngati heron oundana omwe anadutsa mumtsinje wa Las Trancas, kumayambiriro kukakumana ndi mtsinje wa Araute. Popeza kuti kunali kosiyana ndi kuwala, kutuluka kwa dzuwa kunamusiya kuti akhulupirire mwachangu nkhani ya mdima wa mdima umene unali kuyang'ana kuzungulira kumene kuli malo okwezeka, kumene Torogoz amakhala.

Koma tsiku lotsatira nkhaniyi idadzutsa nthanoyo: ng'ombe yakufa m'chigwa cha Vargas, yopanda zokanda, popanda kumenyedwa, yopanda lilime. Apa ndipamene Don Marcos, yemwe amamutcha kuti Maco (monga agogo ake ankakonda kunenera), adakumbukira nkhaniyi ndikundiuza, kwa nthawi ina yamapeto.

Usiku unali mdima wa chilimwe, ndi kutentha kutentha mu nthiti ndi kuimba koyendayenda kwa ma guacos kuyang'ana nkhuku zosamvera m'mitengo ya mipira. Chete cricket Ilo linasweka, osati chifukwa cha cicadas yokongola; zinali ngati kubangula kwa ng'ombe, yomwe idabwerera m'matope. Maco ananyamuka ndi kuyenda pamtunda, kumbuyo kwa chipinda; usiku unali udakali wakuda, wopanda nyenyezi zatsopano, monga April wowopsya wopanda chikondi, ndi liwu la mkazi wake mukumveka kwa chete:

- Ng'ombe ija ikulira, iyenera kuti yakodwa mu waya.

Anali kuyembekezera kuti amalume ake Nowa adzapita kumalo otsiriza pamene adaganiza zomangiriza nsapato yake ya kumanzere bwino, kubwerera kwawo ndi mfuti makumi awiri ndi awiri, nyali ya hunta ndi bokosi la zida.
Anatsika pakhomo ndi phokoso, adagwedeza nyali kuti akweze moto wake, ndikuyenda njira yoyenera ndi munda wa Don Catarino; kungogwera ku La Cachirula.
Anamvetsera pamene ndunayo inatsuka pamene nyimbo ina idaimbidwa koma ndi nyimbo yomweyi:

- Ah! Catocho, watenganso usiku ku Tchalitchi.

Adatsika mosamala, ndikukumbukira timapepala takale tokometsedwa ndi kupsompsona kwachangu, mpweya wa ocote ndikuthokoza kutsika kwa omwe anali apongozi ake. Posakhalitsa adali kuwoloka mtsinjewo, adazimitsa nyali kuti azipembedza mwambo wodziwika bwino, kwinaku akubwereza pachiwindi.

- Mumakumbukira zabwino kwambiri copante ndi kumveka kwa chithovu ndi phokoso la miyalayi.

Mukafika pa siteji ya ng'ombe, ndi mamita ochepa kuchokera pa trapiche, anayesa kulingalira za equation; nyamayo idathamanga mozungulira nkhalango ndipo gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu a ellipseyo idafuula moopsa. Maco, mumdima, adayandikira njirayo, wokonzeka kuyatsa nyali yomwe idali itayikidwa kale pamphumi pake. Mfuti ili mmanja, adayesetsa kuthana ndi nyama, yomwe itatha theka la ola yopunthira udzu inali ndi kanjira kodziwika kale.

Akanakhala atakweza maso ake, akanawona mapiko osamvetsetseka, omwe amachokera pamwamba ankalamulira ng'ombeyo ndi mankhwala osokoneza bongo kununkhira komwe kunatsika ngati mame ndipo kunalowa mphuno kupita kumtundu wa chikopa chosasokonekera mu tabanco.
nyengo Sacalenguas, kuti pakuyesayesa kwake kusiyanitsa mtundu wa ng'ombe yomwe imatsutsana ndi chiphunzitso; ng'ombe ikanakhala ikugona maminiti pang'ono, kenako ikadakhala yofewa, ikanaphimba khosi lake ndi chikhomo chachiwiri ndi njoka yake jafa, kukanikiza mpaka lirime likutuluka kukula. Ndikanati ndilawetse ndikuchotsa kuipa koyambidwa ndikudya udzu wake ngati mchere.

Mphindi ya njoka yamphongo inatha posakhalitsa; Maco anayatsa nyali, pamene adalankhula pa ng'ombe yomwe, popanda zosankha, adachitapo kanthu potulutsa munda wamtunda. Malume Nowa. Atafika pakhomo la mipiringidzo, adakondwa ndipo wina adalumphira, phokoso la nthambi zosweka silinayime patali pamene adadutsa nzimbe, pomwepo pamtengo kuchotsa. Maco atakweza maso, kufunafuna kuwunikira zokwawa zamapiko, zidachoka. Mame ake okha ndi omwe adatsika ndipo adatha kupulumutsa nthenga imvi yomwe, chifukwa cha kununkhira kwake koipa, inali ya wopanga lilime.

Maco adabwereranso, akuyesa chidendene chake pamene chimphepo cha thukuta chimakhala chakumbuyo kwake. Atafika panyumbamo, adasunga mfuti, nsapato ndi nyali, wopanda mphamvu pazozizwitsa zoterezo anagona tulo ndipo adalota kuti adasambitsa padziwe la The Little Mermaid, ndi mlengalenga oyendayenda ndi nyama kuchokera ku kanema wa kanema, koma mu 2D.

Tsiku lotsatira ng'ombe yamphongo inali yakufa pa famu Don Yesu Orellana, popanda mapazi, popanda magazi, opanda lilime.
