Short story for adults

By Beverly HodginPublished 5 years ago 6 min read

This story takes place in a small city not very far from the town of Madrid. .

A man lived with his family in a hut, a small, comfortable hut.

He lives with his wife and two little daughters. His wife liked to cook mostly rice made with peas, meat and baked fish.

His wife was an excellent cook. She took all her time cooking her husband's meals.

Her husband cultivated the land. In the region where he lived, it was raining a lot.

He plowed the land.

As Nathanael did not earn much for the work he did, he occasionally went to town to work there.

Nathan's wife was called Luisa. Nathan was an architect who worked in the city. He was still working in the city.

He was well paid. He had several jobs. Luisa and Nathan wanted their parents to be happy just like all parents want their children to be happy.

She wanted her two daughters to go to school and be successful.

She wants her to go to public school.

This school is one of the best known schools in the village where Luisa lived.

There was no school today.

The school was closed because of what was happening in the village.

No one wanted to get out of the box.

We did not know what is happening in the city because no one lives well in this community.

Luisa and her husband Nathan wanted things to improve in the city.

Luisa was very worried about what was going on in the city. She was not at all happy that the employees were not paid well.

Not very far from the village, there were revolts going on.

Many people complained that they were not paid well in the village. They were revolting against the government.

Life in the village was tough. A lot of people were very angry because of the rent that would have to be paid, the water bill.

Luisa was young, and she moved on to the way she suffered to care for her children.

If these children were adults, she would support her husband. She does the housework at home. She cleans. She sweeps.

She does everything to take good care of her children.

Her husband is in pain and does most of the work to take care of his whole family.

Times are hard. It is the crisis. It's hard to have a job.

You would have to work hard, fight to get what you want.

As I repeated in the previous pages, if the children were already old, Luisa would take care of them. She would go to town and support her husband.

She would do her best to be next to her husband and help him pay the water bill.

However, her husband was outside working on a house that one of the wealthiest men in town was to build with other masons.

He was the leader. He was happy to have several jobs. and that everything improves for all his children and him.

He was still working at home in the city.

This house he was building in the town with the macons was made into a castle. He would be renamed if he finished his house.

At the end of the month Mr. Nathan was happy with what he was earning and his wife was happy that he was rich in the village to take care of his family.

The beautiful princess

This story took place in a magnificent castle.

There was a beautiful princess with black eyes, and black hair who lived there.

This castle was big. It is loose.

There were five beds for the king and queen, a bed for the girl who was the most beautiful girl in the castle.

Something mysterious is happening in the castle. The king is worried because he does not hear his daughter for several days talking to him. She is hidden in her room and does things in secret without warning him.

Paula had a secret she was hiding from her father. She was very young. She was ten years old, and had a boyfriend. Ah, already at that age, she started dating her boyfriend too early.

Today there was a party at the castle. The king and the queen organized a party between friends at the castle. The chateau's cooks will prepare Spanish dishes such as paella, Tortilla de patatas, Paella, el jamon Iberico, el Chorizo, las olivas, las patatas bravas, tinned seafood .

The king told his daughter that she too could invite her friends to come to the party.

This feast will be sumptuous. There will be plenty of guests at the chateau. The king did not know that among his daughter's friends, her boyfriend would be one of the guests, the one who secretly comes to visit his daughter every night by climbing the tower.

After the cooks finished preparing the food for the party, the maids and waiters, set the table.

The party will take place in two hours. Paula is getting ready for the party. She washed well in the tub. What she took was a shower and she put on her pretty red dress and red sandals. She had five friends she was expecting.

After waiting for her five friends Ana, Renee, Carmen, Jorge and her boyfriend Raul, she brings them into the castle and introduces them to her parents. His parents got to know his parents too.

Her friends' parents stayed in the living room downstairs with Paula's parents, and Paula took her friends upstairs. The party lasted a very long time. Madame DeLeon is Paula's mother. She baked a large chocolate cake for the holiday. It's only a big party. This party is like a banquet.

The party was amazing. It was good that Paula was staying with her intimate friends in her room. Her parents and her friends, and her friends's parents were chatting. Her parents friends came a little bit late after the arrival of her Paula's friends with her parents.

After After the conversation that Mr. and Mrs. DeLeon had with their friends and the relatives of their daughter's friends, the housekeeper went upstairs and called out, "Ana, Ana". Please can you go downstairs and join your parents with your friends for the party.

Madame DeLeon was ready to pray when her daughter came down to join them for the party. She waited patiently for him. Paula said in a soft voice to her friends, "We have to go downstairs and join the guests to get the party started.

Paula was the first to come down the stairs. She waited patiently with her friends in the small section which was intended for children and not parents.

Parents, friends of his parents, relatives of his friends were ready to help themselves at the banquet.

Meanwhile, Paula decided to play cards with her friends.

After five minutes the guests left the living room and Madame DeLeon called her daughter and the other children to go to the banquet table.

Madame DeLeon cut out the chocolate cake. She took all her time cutting the cake. They were not going to immediately taste the large chocolate cake which was prepared by Madame DeLeon. This cake was one of the most ceremonial cakes for the holiday.

She cut it into twenty parts for everyone.

After cutting it, she asked the guests to help themselves to the food first before eating the cake. Because the cake was actually the dessert.

All of the dishes that were cooked by Madame DeLeon were appetizing. Madame DeLeon was proud of her. Normally, when there is a banquet like this, it is the cooks who cook the food.

The people who used food first are the children first. Paula and her friends were the first to help themselves to the food, the most appetizing food prepared by Madame DeLeon.

fter the children finished serving, it was the adults' turn. The party was long. The food consisted of egg and olive salads with mayonnaise, tortilla de patatas, etc....
