It’s moving!
- It’s moving! – she said excited – have you seen it, Lúa? It’s moving!
Lúa looked at her restless while the tractor ploughed the threshing floor. All her savings wasted for that noisy stinking monster. She barked at the tractor, she even showed it her teeth; but she only got that mummy made her stay tied with a rope to the kid’s hand.
Lúa loved the kid, she played with her, she didn’t scare when she put her legs on and she always gave her so delicious food to eat. But they had to understand it; there were all her savings, every piece of meat and every piece of chocolate.
Now, seeing a life work wasted, she thought about how better it had been eating those delicacies when the kid gave her. Why did she always insist on keeping them for a better moment?
- There is no better moment than now – she decided analysing the tractor – keep calm – she thought moving from one side to the other – perhaps I still haven’t lost it all, maybe it only changed the place.
She lay down and sighed:
- I had it so well organized – Lúa thought – the meat under the lemon tree, because hens never go there since a lemon knocked one of them out. Chocolate was just by my side, to eat some if I felt like at night.
- Look Lúa, it has moved again – the kid said looking at her – don’t you think so? Yes, it has moved! Yes, it has!
Lúa didn’t understand what was the interesting thing in that tall mast with the three sticks on the top, but the kid was so excited and looked at her with the dreamer eyes of seeing an aeroplane... they looked at each other and sighed.
