my fingers crossed thousands of times the relief of the iron frame, sitting on the floor, going through the curves, in every way, in all directions. I must say that the tips of my fingers were thicker than the width of the letters. Some days it seemed to me that it was an iguana, another time: a frog and another: a kind of magic reptile in complicity with Grandma brought us bread on the table. I saw the wheel turn and turn accompanied by the: Taca-taca.
And the voice of the grandmother: "Do not go to reach in there" (never would get, right? Or silly it was, I thought to myself) One day she began to tell me: "I will clean it, help me, take oil? She knew that is possessed by curiosity, how it worked?, "Help me put the belt on the wheel?" with surprise, put the belt, as if I were that prince, who placed the slipper to Cinderella.
I was polishing it until one day .. " I want to teach you how to sew" And that mixture of fear and excitement, like when you take care of a secret.
"Beware you sew the finger" (or dumb it was, I thought.) Yes, it had scratches and bruises, in both wood and iron, but who cares about such details when things are alive and were maintains with affection.
Long hours we were sitting there, in the silence of the word and the company. Hours, who have lost a few seconds and have won, years.
