Black Bread Page #3

That you should avoid

louses like you like the plague.

Then go! Or are you scared to be

in the woods alone, you little rat?

You're the rats!

You reds will end up like Pitorliua,

hiding in a cave like "monsters".

He isn't a monster.

My father told me.

He doesn't know anything.

He became a monster

from being in the cave so long.

You can still see him

run naked in the woods.

That's nonsense!

- What kind of monster is he?

- A weird bird.

Well, half human, half bird,

but one of those birds

you can't tell what it is

until they mate.

You're dumber than dumb.

Sure, I'm not as well trained as you.

What do you mean?

Teacher pays more attention to you.

You're worse than the flu!

The teacher who teaches me

tra-la-la-la- la-la-lee,

The teacher who teaches me

is in love with me.

You're a filthy pig and a liar!

You're all useless! Like dogs!

With no mother or father.

Nuria, you'll wind up running around

the woods naked like a whore!

Like your aunt Enriqueta

and her bicycle,

who said to hell with mourning

to do it in the bushes with Guards.

Whores, you're all just a bunch

of shameless whores!

Good morning!

Hurry up, the sun's up already

and if you're late, I get scolded.

What the hell? So early?

You never let me sleep.

And you? I can't sleep

with you snoring all day.

What?

What are you doing, you filthy girl?

Get inside!

You're going to be late!

- What were you doing on the balcony?

- Nothing.

You were half naked.

- You spying on me or what?

- No, but I've seen you other times.

What are you doing?

My chilblains hurt.

- That's disgusting!

- Shut up, half-wit!

Get out of here!

Hey, aren't you afraid they'll tell

your dad when he gets back?

- They can't tell him anything.

- Oh, no? Why not?

Because they can't. My father's dead.

Dead, dead?

Dead and gone.

Isn't he in France?

It's what they want us to believe

and I pretend I don't know, but I do.

- Swear you won't tell anyone this.

- I swear.

Father hung himself from a rafter.

He destroyed the town's bridges

so the Fascists couldn't arrive

and when he was done,

he went home and hung himself.

I found him in the morning, alone,

and I was so sad

I didn't know what to do.

I took off my clothes,

went out on the balcony

and later I felt...

my head was cleared.

That's why now,

when I miss him, I do the same.

- And your mother?

- She hid it from me.

Then she left the village

with a married man

and left me behind with a relative

who was never there,

until grandma said enough

and took me with her to the farm.

Now you know,

open your mouth and

I'll cut off your balls. Got it?

I trust you.

You're different.

- What do you mean you love me?
