CUENTO JORNADA DE LA FAMILIA





Al finalizar el horario de clases llega una madre a buscar a su hijo. La intercepta la maestra, que trae al niño de una mano.
—Señora, hoy Fernando se portó fatal.
—¿¡Otra vez!?
—Pero fatal, fatal… no hace caso, contesta, se burla de los compañeros…
—Pues, entonces, deme otro.
—¿¡Cómo que “otro”!? ¿Otro niño?
—Sí, porque tampoco sé qué hacer.
—Pero, es que no puede ser.
—Con su padre ya le dijimos (mirando al niño), pero si él no quiere hacer caso… Qué, ¿no hay más niños?
—Es que no se trata de eso, la escuela está llena de niños…
—Pues cámbiemelo y listo.
—(Dubitativa). No, pero…
—Casi mejor pruebo con una niña, estoy pensando.
—Es que se me desordena todo, señora, luego vendrá la madre de la niña…
—Pero yo llegué primero.
—Sí, ya sé, pero luego se quejan, no se crea. Y además (señala con la cabeza al niño) es pasarle el problema a otra familia.
—No, porque así aprende, para la próxima lo va a pensar.
—¿Y si no lo quiere nadie?
—¿¡Pero qué dice!? ¿Cómo no lo van a querer si es un niño precioso?
—Precioso sí que es, pero se porta…
—Ah, ¿y qué pretende? ¿Qué me lo lleve yo?
—No, si no digo eso.
—Hay que hacer algo, maestra, hay que poner límites, si no van de peor en peor.
—Bueno, ¿y cuál quiere?
—Una niña, ¿no le digo? (mira hacia el patio). Aquélla, la que está saltando.
—¡Elena! ¡Recoge tus cosas que te vas con la señora que será tu madre!
—¡Uf! (la niña con evidente fastidio), ¡estoy jugando!
—¡Ala! ¡Vamos! Sin protestar, mira qué primera impresión más fea le vas a dar a la señora.
La niña, resoplando contrariada por la interrupción del juego, va al salón.
—¿No será peor que éste, no? (la madre, preocupada).
—¡Qué va! Es un ángel, lo que ocurre es que estaba jugando; los niños son así.
Llega la niña con su mochila.
—¿Vamos a casa, Elenita?
—¿Y hay tele?
—(La maestra y la madre sueltan una risa). ¡Claro que hay tele! Y un perro muy hermoso, que a Fernando le gustaba mucho, ¿verdad, Fernando?
—… (el niño, con la mirada baja, asiente).
—¡Qué lindo! ¡Nunca tuve un perro porque mis papás no me dejaban!
—Pues vamos a casa, que ya tienes uno. Y tú, Fernando, pórtate bien con tu nueva familia y nos vienes a visitar cuando quieras, ¿sí?
El niño asintió otra vez, sin levantar la mirada. La madre saludó amablemente a la maestra. Ésta se despidió de Elena con un beso y dio vuelta hacia el patio, con Fernando de la mano.

In The Bogle´s Family Restaurant:
One of the waitresses was called Aileen. She was tall, beautiful and full of life. The name os other waitresses was Tildy. She was small, fat, and was not beautiful.
Most of the people who came toe at at Bogle´s were men and they loved the beautiful Aileen.
And Tildy?
In the busy noisy restaurant, men´s eyes did not follow  Tildy. Nobody lavahed and talked with her.
But Tildy was happy to work with no thanks, she was happy to see the men with Aileen, she was happy to know that the men loved Aileen. She was Aileen´s friend. But deep inside, she, too wanted a meen  to love her.
Mr. Seeders knew that Aileen was not interested in him, so he sat at one of Tildy´s tables, said nothing and ate his fish.
One day when Mr. Seeders came in for his meal he drank too much beer. He finished his fish, got up, put his arms round Tildy, kiseed her loudly, and walked out of the restaurant.
Suddenly Tildy´s world changed. She understood now that men could like her and want her as much as Aileen. She, Tildy, could have a love-life, too. She wanted to tell everybody her secret.
For 2 days Mr. Seeders did not come again, and in that time Tildy was a different woman. She wore bright clothes, did her hair different, and she looked taller and thinner.
On the third day Mr. Seeders came in. Tildy looked at him and she could not speak. Mr. Seeders face was very red, and he looked uncornfortable.
´´Miss Tildy´´, he said, ´´I want to say that I´m sorry for what I did to you a few days ago. It was the drink, you see. I didn´t know what I was doing. I´m sorry.´´
And Mr. Seeders left.
 But Tildy ran into the kitchen, and she began to cry.
The kiss meant nothing to Mr. Seeders. Tildy did not like him very much, but the kiss was important to her and now there was nothing. Aileen coforted her and told her:
