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 />
