Rest in peace.

That with which, during my childhood, it used to scare my mother to me to try to make me eat that liver shoemaker in against my paladar, incredibly, was certain. Toni, eat you the liver or will come the man from the coat and it will take to you., it repeated three nights to me to the week.

If they knew that it does few months, this man, passed by this same place with his luxurious todoterreno way towards his office in the bank and while, to the movable telephone, it closed a treatment of three hundred fifty million pesetas, its sentence would be innocent, very innocent would add I.

But the entraria public prosecutor in scene and would ask permission Mr. Judge to take step to the test I number 1 and only one, the coat, my coat. A judicial agent, impeccably uniformed, high, robust as an oak and, protecting his ways respiratores with a white mask antiscent, would make formal appearance by an adjacent door to the room, carrying between its muscles arms a silver-plated tray covered by a fine white savannah creén really that this miserableable man is innocent? and that says to me of this? the public prosecutor would say before opening the tray of a dry pull of the Oooooh sheet! the room to unisono would exclaim proclaiming its guilty, guilty popular sentence to shouts! to the chair, that that miserable condemned dies.
