It was New Year’s Eve. 

A few friends had got together to celebrate at a cute little house. They were talking about their previous year, laughing about what had gone right and what had gone wrong. 

There was music playing from a stereo in the corner. The friends were almost yelling at each other because the music was so loud. 

“Jack, ol’ Jacky boy, get me another drink, will you?” a man said to his friend.

“Uggh, ok, but you’re getting the next one,” Jack replied. 

Jack drunkenly walked into the kitchen and switched on the light. It was a long, white light, very bright. The large refrigerator was in front of him. He opened it and saw many bottles of wine, orange juice, coca cola and water. He grabbed two bottles of wine from inside the door.  

But before he closed the fridge, he saw on the top shelf something white, red, and creamy.  

“Hey! Susan!” Jack yelled. “This cake looks absolutely delicious! Can I eat some?”

Susan came in from the living room. “Get your filthy hands away from it, Jack. It’s only 8pm. We’ll eat it after the countdown. Just wait.” 

She walked over to Jack, grabbed him by the arm and walked him back into the living room. Jack was happily holding the two bottles of wine under his arms. 

Now that the humans had gone, the foods in the fridge continued their celebration. 

“Psst, Pavlova,” a bottle of orange juice whispered. “He’s gone. Keep going.” 

Pavlova opened her eyes and continued singing an amazing opera song. She sung Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi. 

All the foods and drinks in the fridge were in love with Pavlova’s voice. After she had finished, they clapped and cheered. 

“Bravo! Bravo!” a cheese said. “Sing another one!”

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: La Carta.


El pequeño pueblo de Santa Cruz vivía sumido en una eterna calma. Sus habitantes, gente sencilla y trabajadora, se conocían todos y sus vidas transcurrían con una monotonía reconfortante. Hasta que llegó la carta.

Era una mañana soleada cuando el cartero, con paso cansado, depositó la misiva en el buzón de la casa de María. Un sobre grande, de un color amarillo pálido, que contrastaba con la pintura descascarillada de la puerta. María sintió un escalofrío al tomarla entre sus manos. No esperaba cartas, y menos una tan grande.

Con dedos temblorosos, rasgó el sobre y extrajo una hoja llena de una letra elegante y desconocida. Era una carta de su hermana, Ana, a quien no veía desde hacía más de veinte años. En la carta, Ana le contaba sobre su vida en la ciudad, sobre sus éxitos y sus fracasos, pero sobre todo, le pedía perdón. Perdón por haberla abandonado, por no haber estado presente en los momentos más difíciles de su vida.

María leyó la carta una y otra vez, tratando de comprender las palabras de su hermana. Sentimientos encontrados la inundaban: rabia, dolor, pero también una inmensa tristeza. Había pasado tantos años guardando rencor, que ahora no sabía cómo reaccionar.

Los días siguientes fueron una montaña rusa emocional para María. Recordó su infancia, los juegos con Ana, las promesas que se habían hecho. Pero también recordó la traición, el dolor de sentirse abandonada.

Finalmente, decidió responderle a su hermana. Tomó una pluma y comenzó a escribir, con la esperanza de encontrar la paz que tanto anhelaba.
