Puedes leer otra historia de Juan el despistado aquí:
—Mamá, recuérdame que es lo que voy a ir a comprar por favor—.
—Hay Juancito. Hijo recuerda que la última vez me hiciste el mandado mal, esta vez espero sea diferente hijo, por favor.—
—Si mami, esa vez me descuide solo un poco, pero esta vez será diferente ya verás.—
—Necesito que vayas al mercado, y me compras algunas hojas de laurel para hacer un guiso ok, el guiso de carne que te gusta, eso será para el almuerzo que tendremos con tus tíos.—
Estaba emocionando Juan, una segunda oportunidad jamás debe desaprovecharse, y sabiendo que, en cierta medida la comida dependía de la compra, debía esmerarse por completo para no olvidar otra el pedido de su madre.
—Ok Juan, presta mucha atención querido. Vas a comprar una pequeña bolsa de hojas de laurel, y también comprarás otras especias para sazonar ese guiso, que quedará para chuparse los dedos, ¿entendiste hijo?.—
—Si mamá, eso es pan comido, ya lo tengo memorizado desde antes de lo dijeras, vuelvo en un momento—.
Hojas de laurel, hojas de laurel, y otras especies para yo comer.
La nueva técnica de Juan Carlos era ésta, recitar estrofas con los pedidos de su madre, y esta técnica le parecía mas sencilla, y mas al recordar lo que le había pasada la última vez con la hoja de papel.
Además, Juan era un estupendo cantante, una que otra vez componía hermosas estrofas, aunque a la hora de escribirlas, ya se les olvidara.
Mientras iba camino a donde la bodega de Don Andrés, Juan iba viendo el hermoso paisaje.
Veía como las personas iban a la plaza a pasear y también a tomar algunas hojas de una planta que era ideal para la tos y la gripe.
A lo lejos escucho a una señora decir:
—Ya es suficiente con esas hojas de eucalipto mija, con eso hacemos el remedio para varios días—.
Hojas de.. Hojas de.. Hojas de eucalipto y otras especias para yo comer.
Iba confiado Juan a donde Andrés, casi se le olvida la canción que había compuesto para recordar la encomienda que su madre le había mandado, pero por suerte, tenia la mejor memoria del mundo.
En la esquina donde antes vendían helados, una cuadra antes de la bodega de Don Andrés, Juan vio que ahora vendían hortalizas y quiso echar un vistazo.
Pronto vio algo que parecía un gusano, era verde y largo, hasta tenia grumos semejantes a un gusanito.
—Señor, como se llama esto que está acá— Preguntó Juan.
—Esos son espárragos hijo.—
Jamás en su vida había visto particular alimento.
Hojas de eucalipto hojas de eucalipto, con estos espárragos, todo va estar listo.
—Hola pequeño Juan, que gusto verte otra vez por acá, veo que estás bastante feliz, ¿Qué te llevaras hoy a casa?—.
—Bueno señor Andrés y como no estarlo, mi mama me envió de nuevo a comprar algunas cosas para la casa, y son muy importantes. Ella me dijo que le llevara unas hojas de algo, y unos espaguetis, para un almuerzo especial.—
—Acá tienes el espagueti Juan,¿ pero hojas de qué pidió tu madre?—
No sabia como le había pasado esto otra vez, cómo era posible que se le hubiese olvidado la canción, pero también las hojas que su mama le había pedido.
—Señor Andrés, ¿Cómo se llama el árbol que está en la plaza de la esquina?—
—¿Hojas de eucalipto?
—Exactamente, de esas son las que quiero, me da una bolsa y estos espaguetis—
Don Andrés estaba extrañado, no entendía como las hojas de eucalipto servirían como parte para hacer el rico almuerzo del que hablaba Juan.
—Mama llegue, gritó Juan emocionado—
Esta seria la primera vez que compraría justo lo que necesitaba su madre...
Version en Ingles
—Mom, remind me what I am going to buy, please.—
—There's Juancito. Son, remember that last time you did my errand wrong, this time I hope it will be different son, please.—
—Yes mommy, that time I was just a little careless, but this time it will be different, you'll see.—
—I need you to go to the market, and buy me some bay leaves to make a stew, ok, the meat stew you like, that will be for the lunch we will have with your uncles.—
Juan was getting excited, a second chance should never be wasted, and knowing that, to a certain extent, the food depended on the purchase, he had to do his best not to forget his mother's request.
—Ok Juan, pay close attention dear. You are going to buy a small bag of bay leaves, and you will also buy other spices to season that stew, which will be finger-licking good, you got it son?—
—Yes mom, that's a piece of cake, I have it memorized since before you said so, I'll be back in a moment.—
Bay leaves, bay leaves, and other spices for me to eat.
Juan Carlos' new technique was this, reciting stanzas with his mother's requests, and this technique seemed easier to him, especially when he remembered what had happened the last time with the sheet of paper.
Besides, Juan was a great singer, he would compose beautiful stanzas, even if they were forgotten when it was time to write them down.
While he was on his way to Don Andres' bodega, Juan was watching the beautiful scenery.
He saw how people went to the square to take a walk and also to take some leaves of a plant that was ideal for coughs and flu.
In the distance he heard a lady say:
—That's enough with those eucalyptus leaves mija, with that we make the remedy for several days—.
Leaves of... Leaves of... Eucalyptus leaves and other spices for me to eat.
He almost forgot the song he had composed to remember the errand his mother had sent him, but luckily, he had the best memory in the world.
On the corner where they used to sell ice cream, a block before Don Andrés' bodega, Juan saw that they now sold vegetables and wanted to take a look.
Soon he saw something that looked like a worm, it was green and long, it even had lumps similar to a worm.
—Sir, what is the name of this thing here?—
—Those are asparagus, son.—
He had never seen such food in his life.
Eucalyptus leaves, eucalyptus leaves, with these asparagus, everything will be ready.
—Hello little Juan, what a pleasure to see you here again, I see that you are quite happy, what are you taking home today?—
—Well Mr. Andres and how could I not be, my mom sent me again to buy some things for the house, and they are very important. She told me to take some leaves of something, and some spaghetti, for a special lunch.—
—Here is the spaghetti, Juan, but what did your mother ask for?—
He did not know how this had happened again, how was it possible that he had forgotten the song, but also the leaves that his mother had asked for.
—Mr. Andres, what is the name of the tree that is in the square at the corner?—
—Eucalyptus leaves?—
Exactly, those are the ones I want, give me a bag and these spaghetti- -Don Andrés was surprised.
Don Andrés was puzzled, he didn't understand how the eucalyptus leaves could be used to make the delicious lunch Juan was talking about.
—Mom, I'm here," Juan shouted excitedly.—
This would be the first time that he would buy just what his mother needed...
