La Ladrona de Calabazas
Esa tarde comenzamos a cosechar las calabazas que la tierra de nuestro patio quiso regalarnos. Estábamos contentas porque, a pesar de que no había llovido mucho, tendríamos calabazas para hacer dulces y hervidas, con un poco de ajo frito en aceite y un chorrito de limón. ¡Tremendo banquete!, pensábamos.
That afternoon we began to harvest the pumpkins that the earth in our patio wanted to give us. We were happy because, even though it hadn't rained much, we would have pumpkins to make sweets and boiled, with a little garlic fried in oil and a squeeze of lemon. Tremendous banquet!, we thought.
Pero enseguida apareció Pelusa, una gatica a la que, como la mayoría de nuestros gatos, le encanta la calabaza. No importa si la calabaza está cruda o cocinada, a Pelusa le encanta de cualquier manera. Pelusa llamó a su hermana Curiara, quizá porque presintió que necesitaría ayuda si quería robarnos alguna calabaza.
But soon Pelusa appeared, a kitten who, like most of our cats, loves pumpkin. It doesn't matter if pumpkin is raw or cooked, Fluff loves it either way. Pelusa called her sister Curiara, perhaps because she sensed that she would need help if she wanted to steal any pumpkins from us.
Queríamos tomar algunas fotos de nuestra "gran cosecha", para tenerlas de recuerdo. Y ya ven, Curiara intentaba distraernos mientras Pelusa planificaba su gran robo.
We wanted to take some photos of our "great harvest" to keep as souvenirs. And you see, Curiara was trying to distract us while Pelusa was planning his big robbery.
Atrapada in fraganti no tuvo más remedio que posar para la foto, como si solo le interesara convertirse en una modelo internacional. Pelusa es una gran maestra del engaño.
Caught red-handed, she had no choice but to pose for the photo, as if she was only interested in becoming an international model. Pelusa is a great teacher of lies.
Y en la noche... cuando creyó que nadie la observaba, la pequeña gata atacó a la primera calabaza. Tuvo la paciencia de esperar a que la abriéramos con un cuchillo, porque debió comprender que sus colmillitos no le alcanzarían para tanto.
And at night... when she thought no one was watching her, the little cat attacked the first pumpkin. She had the patience to wait for us to open it with a knife, because she must have understood that her little fangs wouldn't last that long.
Y como ningún ladrón es perfecto, Pelusa repitió su "gran golpe" una semana después, solo que en esta ocasión no fueron las calabazas...
And since no thief is perfect, Pelusa repeated his "big heist" a week later, only this time it wasn't the pumpkins...
