El príncipe feliz

Comenzando con el protagonista del cuento de Oscar Wilde, creo que hay pocos príncipes felices. Yo tengo la suerte de conocer uno.

Ahora es un pequeño de tres años y su reino es la esquina de una plazuela donde yo lo veo a diario desde mi ventana, lo he visto desde que era un recién nacido.

Su madre es una joven que vende recargas para teléfonos automáticos.

Por su apariencia no es difícil adivinar su historia: una niña que creyó en el amor en cuanto las hormonas le dijeron que ya estaba lista. Pero el amor no siempre resulta como en los cuentos de hadas o en las telenovelas donde termina en matrimonio y desde allí todos felices comiendo perdices por el resto de la vida.

Este amor la dejó sola y con un niño en brazos. Un niño que tenía urgencia de vivir.

¿Como consiguió este trabajo, quien se lo dio? No tiene importancia, lo cierto es que instaló en la esquina de la plazuela una sombrilla, una silla, y apegado a ella un destartalado cochecito de niño.

Los clientes se asoman a comprar o los autos se estacionan un momento y adquieren su tarjeta y ella los atiende sonriente al mismo tiempo que está pendiente de su niño: lo alimenta, lo cambia, lo acuesta y lo mece para hacerlo dormir. Incluso le canta bajito una nana.

Si llueve tiende sobre el cochecito un plástico para impedir que se moje y el pequeño mira resbalar la lluvia como si esas gotitas se escurrieran para su diversión. Mira también asomarse las primeras estrellas que le hacen guiños.

Cuando el día pierde su luminosidad, la madre pliega la sombrilla, carga la silla y empujando el cochecito, se marcha hasta el día siguiente muy temprano.

Poco a poco el pequeño abandonó su cuna por los brazos de su madre que lo sujetaron amorosos, lo abrazaron, lo mecieron y lo animaron a dar sus primeros pasos.

Tambaleante comenzó a descubrir su mundo: el pedacito de tierra donde crece un poco el pasto, el arbolillo que se mece con el viento, el perro de la casa que asoma el hociquillo entre la reja, hambriento de caricias y las personas que pasan habitualmente por ahí y lo conocen, le ofrecen un dulce o una galleta que él agradece con una sonrisa y un gorjeo.

En la Plazuela trepidan, zumban y hacen oír el ladrido de sus bocinas, un río interminable de automóviles, los semáforos guiñan sin pausa sus ojos insomnes y los altavoces de los carritos fruteros intentan atraer clientes. Para él todo esto no es sino un telón de fondo, le basta levantar los ojos y allí está la mirada de su madre y su sonrisa te dice que ella te protege, que todo está bien.

Ahora, con pasitos más firmes, amplía el radio de sus correrías pero la madre siempre está alerta, deja un momento su puesto y va tras él que se oculta detrás del contenedor de basura o del árbol más grande. Ella juega con el hijo, no lo regaña, lo vuelve a su sitio levantándolo con cariño y lo acuesta en el cochecito cuando la correría lo ha fatigado.

Lo poco que gana la mujer le sirve, probablemente, para una merienda y un refresco que comparten con alegría.

Este es mi príncipe feliz, su madre no se aparta de él porque no tiene compromisos sociales que cumplir ni un trabajo que la obligue a dejarlo en manos mercenarias.

Ahora es el niño más feliz que conozco. ¿Más tarde? Bueno, Dios dirá.

Esta tarde, la casualidad me ha traido a su blog. Me ha gustado esta historia, la manera positiva de ver, dentro de lo que cabe, la vida de este crío. La vida entera es parecida, solo tenemos el presente, el futuro es algo que jamás llega, siempre es futuro y siempre está un día, una hora, un minuto delante nuestra.

Un saludo desde muy lejos.

You may not be aware of what banking Internet actually is, and it can be a bit confusing because it has so many names from online banking to PC banking as well as electronic banking and banking online.

This banking Internet option has been very popular not only for customers who want to have some control over their account without having to go to the bank but for banks as well whose man hours have been freed up from performing simple tasks like balance inquiries, account transfers, and the like because the customer does it himself with banking Internet.

Since the whole idea of banking Internet is to make banking as easy as possible, most banking Internet sites will allow you to make a transfer from a brick and mortar bank to the banking Internet site as often as you like with no charge or a small fee.

This is amazing and makes traveling a lot less stressful as well because with banking Internet you always know where your account stands.

Times are changing, with the internet redefining the banking sector over the last five years. Do not be confused as it continues to develop, the many names it goes by all mean the same thing electronic, online and PC banking are all just synonyms traditional banking services provided through a secure internet portal.

The banks also benefit from a lesser need for staff due to the migration to internet banking where customers serve themselves.

To help the growth and assist customers to make the change, many traditional banks offer minimal fee or completely free transfers to help customers migrate to their online banking service.

Real Madrid had opportunities in the first half to set the score 2-0, but the players were unable to score. Kaka, Ronaldo, and Higuain were all close but were unable to complete. The closest was the play made by Higuain at minute 25, when he skipped by the defense and passed Lloris to make an incredible shot – but the ball crashed into the near post, denying the Spanish team a second goal. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid official website[/url] With this victory, Real Madrid is focusing on their next match against Osasuna, which will be held on May 2nd. During their last match on January 3rd, neither of the two could obtain the victory; the game ended 0-0. Now, this game will be key for both squads; the Whites would be closer to surpassing Barça to obtain the La Liga title, which they haven’t won in two seasons. On the other hand, Osasuna, which tied their last game against Athletic Bilbao, are trying to add a triumph and surpass Espanyol in the 11th place of the standings. If Osasuna end in 11th or 10th place this season, it will be the best position they have achieve in four seasons.

Real Madrid’s next game will be against Xerez at the Municipal de Chapín Stadium on February 13th, whereas Espanyol will face Deportivo La Coruna at home on February 14th. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]benzema[/url] The Villareal players were unhappy with the decision but unable to do anything. The game continued, and they had several opportunities from Giuseppe Rossi and Santi Cazorla, but both shots were saved by Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
