All those and more, many more, who are against everything and against all, all those who doubt everyone, except themselves, should spend some afternoon, some noon of party or, not that, any day by the Santa Elisabet Square, from Palmawhere there is a public school (well, it is a Cyll: College of Early Childhood and Primary Education), He was stuck to him, a college of nuns, clearly arranged, they never lose, with one more point of … well, of that.
And I say that they should go through that square, where the neighbors (foreign most) organize extraordinary public cenotas' (“you bring what you want to roast and, right now, we do it”), to verify that the coexistence between ethnic dozens and colors, not only of children, not, but especially of children, and, of discounted, parents and grandparents, it is prodigious, exemplary, decent of being observed to reinforce the questioned thesis that we don't get along.
We get rid of cinema. Or, at least, in my neighborhood where all this lovely crowd that comes from a lot, I repeat, of corners of the world, gives us that festive point, fun, friendly, open, accomplice (noisy yes) that, I fear, we have lost those here, those who believe ourselves owners of this territory.
The trick is football
On Friday, already very close to finish the school year, this week, there were a lot of parents and grandparents in the square. Normal, the children of the schools leave and they, all, put the bug. Not in one, but in a lot of languages. And everyone understands themselves wonderfully.
The fact is that in the center of the square, it could be said in the center of the field, where a goal is guessed on the side, we would say that the posts, two trunks of two leafy trees and, on the other side, the opposite, marked by two immense gardeners, because that, that a lot of kids were restless?, It would be said that some until annoying (without reason). Anxious, yes, anxious.

Anxious why. Simple. It took the game to start. And why hadn't they started? Simple: The owner of the ball was missing. And yes, suddenly he appeared on a corner of the square and the group went crazy. That, Loooooco. But, uncle, what did you do, we have been waiting for you for ten minutes.
The owner of the ball who, swear, carried him under the sobaco as Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi walked his golden balls, stepped on the center of the square, forgiveness, of the countryside, Ufano, arrogant, more than proud to be the owner of the ball. But not because I was not going to lend it (like every afternoon) but because, from his arrival, the identical ritual began to the patio of my school, the sacred hearts.
When the ball owner arrives, the world stops. He takes it, of course, under a sobaco, such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi brought their golden balls, it puts it, slowly, in the center of the square, sorry, of the countryside and the party begins, more than the game.
That is, the owner of the ball decides who first chooses the Lamine Yamal In turn, that in that square exists, I tell you. And, from there, the other stars are distributed. And, before the game begins, the ball owner warns that eye! With the small gates surrounding the gardens, “because some have tips that can prick the ball.” He doesn't say “my ball,” but could. He doesn't say so. By the way, it is already the second that has been this season, forgiveness, course.
In addition, Ojito, the owner of the ball of my square, on top, is a goalkeeper, which means a great risk and that, if the game is 0-5 against him, he takes the ball, takes it under the sobaco back home and the game is over. And no, no, that never happens. When the owner of the ball delivers the ball, he puts it, because he always puts it, in the center of the field and, from there, he becomes one of the thousand ethnic groups and colors.
I repeat, all those who doubt that there are no good people, they should go through my place. Even the owner of the ball is a fucking guy. And it might not be, because he is the most precious owner in that place.
