RESUMEN 1

Un da mientras regresaba del colegio, me detuve en el muelle, para ver el circo que haba
desembarcado, pude ver al payaso, al domador y a otros curiosos ms. Pues acompaamos a la
delegacin, hasta que cogieron su cochecito rumbo a su hospedaje, de pronto una mano toco mis
hombros, era mi hermano Anfiloquio, que me preguntaba, por qu no haba ido temprano a casa,
porque ya estaba oscureciendo. Al llegar vi a mi madre muy enojada, luego me hablo dulcemente,
que estuvo mal que llegara tan tarde, y que no haba podido comer, porque estaba muy
preocupada; sollozando le di un beso en las manos y ella me beso en la frente.

Estando en mi cuarto, le cont a mi hermanita lo que haba visto en el muelle, y que el sbado el
circo dara una presentacin, esa noche so con el circo, vi desfilar al payaso, y la nia rubia.

Lleg el sbado y todos hablaban del circo, mi padre nos dio entradas para el circo, y ah se
anunciaba el extraordinario y emocionante espectculo el vuelo de los cndores. Esa tarde vimos
pasar por la calle al payaso confitito, junto a un grupo de nios, y la bellsima miss orqudea, y
una banda los acompaaba, se dirigan al pueblo. Mis hermanos y yo comimos, tan rpido como
pudimos, nos vestimos y nos dirigimos al pueblo, el circo estaba en un estrecho callejoncito de
adobes, hacia el fondo en un inmenso corraln, ah estaba una gran carpa, de donde salan gritos,
risas, silbidos.

Estando ya adentro en el circo, se presentaron todos los artistas y en el centro estaba miss
orqudea, con su admirable cuerpecito, zapatillas rojas, sonrea. Sali primero el barrista y con un
gran salto mortal que hizo, cayendo sobre la alfombra, fue aclamado, sali Mister glandys con su
oso, bail este al ritmo de la msica, luego le toco al payaso; y de pronto todos exclamaron EL
VUELO DE LOS CONDORES, apareci miss orqudea y realiz la prueba y luego el pblico la
exclamo con vehemencia; luego se anunci que se repetira la prueba, pero la nia cogi mal el
trapecio, se solt a destiempo, titubeo un poco y con un grito horrible, cay como una avecilla
herida, sobre la red del circo que lo salvo de la muerte.

Pasaron algunos das el circo segua funcionando pero ya no daban EL VUELO DE LOS CONDORES,
yo recordaba a la pobre nia, sonriente, plida. El sbado siguiente paso el circo por la calle, pero
no vi a miss orqudea, y entrando a mi cuarto y por vez primera y sin saber porque llor, a
escondida, un da mientras me iba al colegio, por la orilla del mar, sentme a contemplar el mar, al
or unas palabra, volv la cara para ver, y vi en una terraza a miss orqudea, ambos nos miramos.

Los das siguientes regrese, y as lo hice por ocho das, yo me acercaba a la baranda de la terraza y
los dos nos sonreamos, pero nunca hablamos, al noveno da ella ya no estaba en la terraza, corr al
muelle y ah le vi llegar cogida de los brazos por mister kendall y miss Blutner, y al pasar junto a m
me dijo adis! Y entrando en el bote saco su pauelo y lo agit mirndome, con los ojos hmedos,
y yo con la mano alzada me despeda y as la vi alejarse en el inmenso ocano, hasta no verla ms.

ABSTRACT 1
One day while I was returning from school, I stopped at the dock, to see the circus I had landed, I
could see the clown, the tamer and other curious people. We accompanied the delegation, until
they took their stroller to their lodging, suddenly a hand touched my shoulders, it was my brother
Anfiloquio, who asked me why he had not gone home early, because it was already darkening.
When I arrived I saw my mother very angry, then spoke to me sweetly, that it was wrong that she
came so late, and that she had not been able to eat, because she was very worried; Sobbing I gave
her a kiss on her hands and she kissed me on the forehead.

Being in my room, I told my little sister what I had seen on the dock, and that on Saturday the
circus would give a presentation, that night I dreamed of the circus, I saw the clown parade, and
the blonde girl.

Arrived on Saturday and everyone was talking about the circus, my father gave us tickets for the
circus, and there was announced the extraordinary and exciting show "the flight of the condors."
That afternoon we saw the clown "confitito", along with a group of children, and the beautiful
orchid miss, and a band with them, were going to the town. My brothers and I ate, as fast as we
could, we dressed and went to the village, the circus was in a narrow alley of adobes, deep in a
huge corral, there was a big tent, from where came shouts, laughter, Whistles

Already inside the circus, all the artists were present and in the center was Miss Orchid, with her
admirable little body, red slippers, she smiled. The barrista came out first, and with a great
somersault he fell, falling on the carpet, he was acclaimed, Mister Glandys came out with his bear,
he danced to the rhythm of music, then played the clown; And suddenly everyone exclaimed "THE
FLIGHT OF THE CONDORS", Miss orchid appeared and performed the test and then the public
exclaimed with vehemence; Then it was announced that the test would be repeated, but the girl
mistook the trapeze, it was released at the wrong time, hesitated a little and with a horrible cry, fell
like a wounded bird, on the network of the circus that saved him from death.

Some days passed the circus was still working but they did not give the FLIGHTS OF THE CONDORS,
I remembered the poor girl, smiling, pale. The next Saturday the circus passed by the street, but I
did not see Miss Orchid, and entering my room for the first time and not knowing why I cried, in
secret, one day while I went to school, by the seashore, I sat down To look at the sea, to hear some
words, I turned my face to see, and saw on a terrace to miss orchid, we both looked at each other.

The next day I came back, and so I did for eight days, I approached the balcony railing and we both
smiled, but we never talked, on the ninth day she was not on the terrace, I ran to the dock and
there I saw him To get hold of the arms by Mr. Kendall and Miss Blutner, and passing by me said
goodbye! And getting into the boat I took her handkerchief and waved it at me, my eyes moist, and
I with my hand raised my hand and I saw her go away in the immense ocean, until I saw her no
more.

Ella cae del trapecio y solo la salva de la muerte, la red.

El Vuelo de los Cndores no se vuelve a repetir ya ms.

Un da llega lo inevitale, el circo debe partir y con el la dulce miss Orqudea.

Abraham sigue con la mirada el vapor, que mancha con su cabellera de humo el cielo sangriento
del crepsculo.

ABSTRACT 2

The circus go to Pisco. Abraham, a child of the place stops at the pier to see the artists forgetting
the concern that would cause in his house his tardiness. Among these, a blonde girl captivates his
attention and his image goes with him everywhere.

On the day of the performance, Abraham and his family flock anxiously and enjoy the first numbers
of the show; But when I reach the "Flight of the Condors", whose star is nothing less than the
fragile girl, my Orchid, something tragic happens.

She falls from the trapeze and only saves her from death, the net. The Flight of the Condors is not
repeated again.

Days later Abraham discovers Miss Orchid on a terrace, invalid in his armchair. They look at each
other, smile and so day by day a feeling is born between them that only manifests itself in sweet
looks and smiles.

One day comes the inevitable, the circus must leave and with the sweet miss Orchid.

Abraham follows with his gaze "the steamer, which stains the bloody sky of twilight with its hairs of
smoke.
