Cuando más extasiados estaban,<br />

mirando, mitá y mitá que la piernuda<br />

caminaba sobre el alambre como sobre<br />

el viento, un guachi, con una tablita,<br />

los cogió <strong>de</strong> culumbrón, soñadores<br />

e in<strong>de</strong>fensos. Les dio con todas sus<br />

juerzas, el bandido jalacolchones; y<br />

ellos, dando alaridos, salieron corriendo<br />

y sobándose la nalga, ardida como con<br />

plancha caliente. Fueron a contarle a la<br />

mama; y la mama cogiéndolos <strong>de</strong>bajo<br />

<strong>de</strong> sus alas <strong>de</strong>splu madas, maldijo al<br />

miserable:<br />

—¡Disgraciado, quiá <strong>de</strong> pagarlas un<br />

diya en los injiermos!<br />

Lencho rumió, en su corazón <strong>de</strong> niño<br />

perdonero, aquella frase; y, tras un rato<br />

<strong>de</strong> silencio, preguntó:<br />

—Mama, ¿yen el injierno habrán hoyitos<br />

para mirar lo que andan haciendo en el<br />

cielo?...<br />

They were full of esctasy watching<br />

the nice-legged woman walk over the<br />

tightrope like over the wind. A guard<br />

with a board found them peeking,<br />

dreaming and <strong>de</strong>fenseless. The guard,<br />

the type who loved to pull hair, beat<br />

them on their butts. Screaming, the<br />

kids left running and rubbing their<br />

butts which were burning like from a<br />

hot iron. They went home to tell their<br />

mom, and their mom, taking them<br />

un<strong>de</strong>r her featheless wings, damned<br />

the miserable man:<br />

“Son of a gun! He will someday pay for<br />

this in hell!”<br />

Lencho ruminated on that phrase in his<br />

forgiving child’s heart. After a moment<br />

of silence, he asked:<br />

“Ma, will there be holes in hell to see<br />

what they are doing in heaven?”
