Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Hello, my name is Anna and I am nine years old. I wish you had known me before - I mean before my aunt Marga and my cousin Pilar came to my parents'house -, I was such a happy little girl. Before their coming life was a bed of roses. Of course my little brother could be a pain in the neck - little brothers always are, aren't they? - but there was that wonderful big house, there was my Cuban-born nanny who cooked so well, there was the bath before dinner, not to mention this wonderful catechism class at the catholic school. But they did come, those Spanish intruders. And now never heard before names like "Franco", "Allende", "Women's Lib", "abortion", the lot, have got into my life. Daddy and Mummy have suddenly become "communists", although this a term that Bon Papa and Bonne Maman (my grandparents from Bordeaux, in fact) just hate. Because of the intruders not only did we move to a tiny apartment but the place is invaded day and night by "barbudos" (bearded men). No more bath before dinner and no more catechism class. How long will I be able to tolerate such a scandal? Written by Guy Bellinger |

Soeur Geneviève:
Miss De la Mesa, repeat what I said. Anna de la Mesa: "The goat was eaten by the wolf for disobeying." Soeur Geneviève: Getting eaten by the wolf was its punishment. So the text is about the need for obedience. Anna de la Mesa: Sister, I don't get it. My grandpa showed me the paw of a fox caught in a trap. It gnawed off its paw to get free. Soeur Geneviève: That's quite different. The goat wasn't trapped. Mr. Seguin fed it, loved it. Anna de la Mesa: But he kept it tied up. It's in the book. Soeur Geneviève: Are you saying the goat wanted to die? That would be a sin. Sit down. Anna de la Mesa: Animals aren't Catholic, Sister. Soeur Geneviève: What do you think it says? Anna de la Mesa: The goat has two options: to stay at Mr. Seguin's or escape to the mountains. It leaves, thinking the wolf won't eat it. It goes up to the mountains, hoping to become free. Soeur Geneviève: Well, it was mistaken. And so are you. See more » |
