The Old Man Who Didn’t Appear in Stories
Benito and Valentín complement each other very well. The two sit at the table, Benito drinks the wine, Valentín the soft drink. Valentín prefers the chicken breast and Benito says that the thigh is better. When finished, Benito removes the plates and Valentín cleans the tablecloth. Then, in the warm air of the kitchen, they prepare to enjoy the best time of the day. Valentín opens the book and starts reading. Benito listens to him, looking at him attentively, barely blinking, as if the most fascinating beings and the most incredible adventures could be seen in Valentín's face. Benito doesn't know how to read. Benito is Valentín's grandfather. The characters in the stories they read are almost always children, they never appear old. Benito doesn't like this because old people are important and, since he is not an ordinary grandfather, he will take care of changing this situation.
