NAME:
Chico arrived from the street with a very black and very thin kitten under his arm.
“You're going to tell me you've already gotten me more headaches,” her mother told her.
– Look at him, mother, so cute, so skinny. Don't you feel sorry for him?
– I'm sorry, but I don't want to hear more animals at home. The backyard is already looking like a zoo.
– You yourself are always praying to San Francisco, the saint who welcomed the animals…
“It's not because I'm a San Francisco devotee that I'm going to turn my house into a zoo.
(…) The three of us come a lot who are always tangling in our legs.
– Look at him, Mom. Just him, have pity on the poor man. It must have no owner, nor father, nor mother, nor little brother.
– I don't even want to look.
– I already know why you don't want to: not to get love for him. Only smooth his fur, see how the poor man is being treated. If it was an angora, I bet you would.
– If it were an angora, the owner wouldn't let it loose in the street.
Chico went out smoothing the kitten's fur, sad to have to get rid of it. She sat on the porch and talked to the kitten:
– You have to understand that the house is not mine, if it were… Deep down, she is right. I have three dogs, three cats, a parrot, half a dozen chickens, an already litter of five chicks; a couple of ducks, a guinea pig, a little eared bunny … (…) I've already seen that you don't understand, that you really want to stay.
Shall we go inside and try again? Let's go?
- Mom you…
– Again with that cat?
– I just wanted a piece of bread soaked in milk to give him.
The mother gave a piece of bread and a saucer of milk. Chico began to satisfy his new friend's hunger.
Eaten bread, licked milk, the mother said:
– Now that he's eaten, he can get out. And take this cat far away.
