La gatera de Beguemot

The wolf, now piously old and good,
When again he met Red Riding Hood
Spoke: ‘Incredibly, my dear child,
What kinds of stories are spread–they’re wild.

As though there were, so the lie is told,
A dark murder affair of old. The Brothers Grimm are the ones to blame.
Confess! It wasn’t half as bad as they claim.’

Little Red Riding Hood saw the wolf’s bite
And stammered: ‘You’re right, quite right.’
Whereupon the wolf, heaving many a sigh,
Gave kind regards to Granny and waved good-bye.

Habrá foto, supongo. De momento, ganas de leer a Dahl, muchas ganas.  Uno ha de acercarse a Benjamin y a “Las zapatillas rojas”, y romperse la cabeza pensando con qué cuento de hadas (o cualquier otra historia) Angélica Gorodischer cuenta el derrocamiento de Rosas en Kalpa Imperial, si es que verdaderamente es Rosas.
