“By who?” asked Elena.
“By the 21,000 people that ate at our restaurant last month,” said Juan.
“And don’t forget the ones that ordered take- out – that is at least another 3,000,” chimed in
Santiago.
“You guys – that is barely 1% of all of Guadalajara – only at best 15% of those that go to
Catedral church. So, I think your numbers are a bit askew.”
“Who are we to argue with the great math genius of Guadalajara…” retorted Matias.
“Maybe my numbers are a bit --inflated…I might be missing a decimal point,” answered
Santiago.
“You guys, HURRY WITH ME! There is an animal SUFFERING under that red sofa! I need
ALL of you to come with me!”
“That red sofa?” asked Matias pointing across the street.
“YES!” shouted Santiago and Juan.
Matias quickly picked up a tray of six tacos and headed toward the door.
“WAIT! What are you doing?” questioned Santiago.
“I need something to stop traffic,” retorted Matias as he rushed out the door.
Matias ran on ahead, balancing his six tacos and causing the taxi drivers headed down Donato
street to stop and lean out the window to take a full whiff of his taco temptations.
“ORALE – BEST TACOS IS ALL OF GUADALAJARA,” shouted Matias as he dashed across
the street followed by Elena, Santiago and Juan.
“HURRY! Not – much time ----- l–e-e-e-e-e-e ft,” said Elena, half-shouting – half panting.
“Where is it?” asked Matias, putting his plate down.
“It’s under the sofa.”
