Suceso raro número tres

No estoy seguro de quiénes son los muchachos en la siguiente foto borrosa aunque creo que a la izquierda está Tom Ditsworth (mi reciente compañero de caminata y mi viejo compañero miembro de Guías Indios). La otra persona debe de ser mi hermano menor.

Me acuerdo muy bien no obstante del telescopio. Mis padres me lo regalaron para la navidad.

Un día, descubrí que no podía ver nada con el telescopio. La luz ya no pasaba. Mi amigo Jan Bradbury me dijo que su padre sin duda podía arreglarlo. Tenía razón.

—¿Sabes lo que pasó? —me preguntó su padre—. Hay un pedacito de plástico dentro que tiene un agujerito por el que pasa la luz desde la lente. Dejaste el telescopio en el sol y los rayos pasaron por la lente y fundieron el plástico. Nada más tenía que taladrar otro agujerito para repararlo.

Strange Incident Number Three

I'm not completely sure who the boys in the following blurry photo are although I think that to the left is Tom Ditsworth (my recent fellow hiker and my old fellow member of Indian Guides). The other one must be my younger brother.

I remember very well, however, the telescope. My parents bought it for me for Christmas. One day, I found that I couldn't see anything through the telescope. No light came through. My friend Jan Bradbury told me that his dad could surely fix it.
"Know what happened?" his father asked me. "There's a little piece of plastic inside that has a pin hole in it for the light to pass through from the lens. You left the telescope out in the sun and the sun rays went through the lens and melted the plastic. All I had to do was drill another pin hole to repair it."

THE FOLLOWING IS TWO PAGES LONG.

Tom Cole Well, dogs have a bad time of it longevity-wise and it only proves the point: they NEVER eat chiles. It’s also why life expectancy is so low in Korea—they EAT dogs and naturopathic science tells us that one standard dog unit = -44 chiles. Note the negative sign. When I lived in Mexico City, you could go to the market and get anti-aging medicine. And if you had worms, they’d have a display with the worms and you’d pick the one you had, and they’d give you the EXACT herb you needed to get rid of it! I think it was the Mexican Academy of Worming Medicine.

Stephen Cole A lot of people don’t know that Socrates committed suicide by swallowing Diet Pepsi.
