Don Cheo and the shark tank. [Eng-Esp]
Don Cheo and the shark tank
The sun in Puerto La Cruz was boiling like a stew over Pozuelos Bay. From the shore of his empanada stand, Don Cheo stared at the horizon with a frown. “Look at the landscape, my brother,” he said to a tourist devouring a dogfish empanada. “Those aren't boats, they're tin sharks. They used to be like calm cows waiting to be milked for oil, quiet, with the patience of a Dominican in line at the bank. The bay looks like a shark tank.” Don Cheo wiped his hands on his apron. “But now, son, with this oil shortage, they're just hungry beasts. They've been anchored for days, jostling for a spot to load up. They look like those uncomfortable guys in the CLAP line, pushing and shoving and growling, ‘Give me what's mine, that barrel is mine!’” The tourist laughed with his mouth full of spicy food. "And the sea, huh? The Caribbean, which used to be a mirror of peace, now looks like a shark tank. All mouths agape and eyes alert. You hope the sea will be calm so the tourists will come, but with those creatures there, even the sardines are stressed out. Poor sea! They turned it into an aquarium out of sheer necessity and exhausted patience. But anyway, give me two cheese sandwiches and a malt, because hunger is the only shark you carry in here.

Don Cheo y el tanque de tiburones
El sol de Puerto La Cruz era un sancocho hirviendo sobre la Bahía de Pozuelos. Desde la orilla de su puesto de empanadas, Don Cheo miraba el horizonte con el entrecejo fruncido. —Mira es e paisaje, mi hermano—le dijo a un turista que devoraba una empanada de cazón—. Esos no son barcos, son tiburones de hojalata. Antes eran como vaquitas tranquilas esperando su ordeño de petróleo, quietecitos, con la paciencia de un dominicano en la fila del banco. LA baiha parece un tanque de tiburones. Don Cheo se limpió las manos en el delantal. —Pero ahora, mijo, con esta escasez de crudo, son puros bichos hambrientos. Llevan días fondeados, dándose codazos por un puesto para cargar. Parecen esos tíos incómodos en la cola del CLAP, echándose vaina y gruñendo: '¡Dame lo mío, que el barril es mío!' El turista se rió con la boca llena de picante. —Y el mar, ¿ah? El Caribe, que antes era un espejo de paz, ahora parece un tanque de tiburones. Pura boca abierta y ojo vivo. Uno espera que el mar esté tranquilo para que vengan los turistas, pero con esos bichos ahí, hasta las sardinas andan estresadas. ¡Pobre mar! Lo volvieron un acuario de pura necesidad y paciencia agotada. Pero bueno, dame dos de queso y una malta, que el hambre es el único tiburón que carga uno aquí adentro.
