LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


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.
