Something New / Algo Nuevo


At least it was new to me. This man was walking a pair of geese and about 20-25 goslings right down Carrera 2, in the very heart of Quibdó:

“Are they for sale?”
“For sale, sure”
“And are people buying them?”
“Some”
“To raise them to at?”
“Some to raise them to eat, others to have them as decorations”

Por lo menos, fue nuevo para mi. Este hombre conducía un par de gansos y 20-25 ansarones justo en la Carrera 2a, en el mero corazón de Quibdó:

—¿Están a la venta?
—A la venta, claro.
—¿Y la gente compra?
—Algunas
—¿Para engordar?
—Algunos para engordar, otros para tenerlos como adornos.
