Story
Pedro . . , .
left my friend Pedro's house very late. It was night. wanted to go back to my house, but did not know where the path was.
, . . . , . .
Before, I used to like this path a lot. Now everything seemed new to me. I could not see anyone. There were no people, there was nothing. Just the night and me.
. . . . , . .
I went one way. But it was not the right path. I turned back. Then I went the other way. Again, it was not the right one. The same thing.
, . . " , , ¿ ? , . . , sola. ."
After a long time, I saw a man. I spoke to him. "Please, sir, do you know where my house is? I am here, but my house is over there. I do not know. It is very late and my mother is at home, alone. Today is not a good day for me."
. ", . . , , . ."
The man looked at me. "Son, this is not your way. Your house is on the other side. Look, go this way, and then that way. After that you will see your house."
"Muchas , ", . " ."
"Thank you very much, sir," I said to him. "You are very kind."
. , . . . .
I went where the man told me. And yes, I saw my house. It was the best thing of the night. Now I just wanted to be at home. Nothing more.
. ", ¿ ? ."
My mother saw me. "Son, where were you? It is very late."
" , . ."
"'ll tell you everything later, mum. Right now just want to be here."
. , , . , , , .
My mother did not say anything else. She looked at me, as always, and everything seemed all right again. The house, my mother, the time, everything.
