Antonio walking together with Sol, together with Quetzale, together with Huitzil. Walking on a terrace, coming from far away, from some important situation now unimportant, on a yellow terrace that was painted green and now golden, because there were Elotes disguised as maize.
No one knew whose they were, although they belonged to no one. They jumped over the fence with a giant stride and painted their hands golden Sun along with Antonio's, along with Quetzale's, along with Huitzil's, and filled their backpacks with the Elote that had then been disguised as Maize. They continued walking along the yellow terrace, then blue, then purple, and arrived for dinner at some place also illuminated in yellow but painted in red.
I don't remember what everyone asked for, but everything pleased. As everyone looked at each other laughing and coming over, a Spaniard approached asking what was that shiny thing on Sol's backpack.
-It was corn, but now it's corn, sir," answered Huitzil, still laughing and coming over, "It's good with cheese and chili.
The Spaniard asked for some gold to paint his hands as a favor.
-Of course, sir," said Antonio and gave him two Elotes.
The Spaniard retired excited as if true gold had painted his hands, but much shone in his eyes, because when Huitzil went with Quetzale who went with Sol who went with Antonio to the outside of the place, a scream was heard and red painted the place that was already red and was illuminated in yellow, because the Spaniard with cutlery cut the throat of a waiter, because now he would have the blood of a Mexican in a bowl together with yellow corn that some boys had given him, to make a ritual that he had read some time ago in a book, I don't know where in Spain and that it achieved I don't know what.
-How crazy," said Antonio.
Meanwhile, running the Spaniard with the bowl and the elotes, and the waiter lying on the red and yellow place and the boys with the golden backpacks and the diners with their mouths open, still some with food.
