"Caso Gaspar", Elsa Borneman

Aburrido de recorrer la ciudad con su valija a cuestas para vender —por lo menos— doce manteles diarios, harto de gastar suelas, cansado de usar los pies, Gaspar decidió caminar sobre las manos. Desde ese momento, todos los feriados del mes se los pasó encerrado en el altillo de su casa, practicando posturas frente al espejo.

Al principio, le costó bastante esfuerzo mantenerse en equilibrio con las piernas para arriba, pero al cabo de reiteradas pruebas el buen muchacho logró marchar del revés con asombrosa habilidad. Una vez conseguido esto, dedicó todo su empeño para desplazarse sosteniendo la valija con cualquiera de sus pies descalzos. Pronto pudo hacerlo y su destreza lo alentó.

—¡Desde hoy, basta de zapatos! ¡Saldré a vender mis manteles caminando sobre las manos! —exclamó Gaspar una mañana, mientras desayunaba. Y —dicho y hecho— se dispuso a iniciar esa jornada de trabajo andando sobre las manos.
Su vecina barría la vereda cuando lo vio salir. Gaspar la saludó al pasar, quitándose caballerosamente la galera: —Buenos días, doña Ramona. ¿Qué tal los canarios?
Pero como la señora permaneció boquiabierta, el muchacho volvió a colocarse la galera y dobló la esquina. Para no fatigarse, colgaba un rato de su pie izquierdo y otro del derecho la valija con los manteles, mientras hacía complicadas contorsiones a fin de alcanzar los timbres de las casas sin ponerse de pie.

Lamentablemente, a pesar de su entusiasmo, esa mañana no vendió ni siquiera un mantel. ¡Ninguna persona confiaba en ese vendedor domiciliario que se presentaba caminando sobre las manos!
—Me rechazan porque soy el primero que se atreve a cambiar la costumbre de marchar sobre las piernas... Si supieran qué distinto se ve el mundo de esta manera, me imitarían...Paciencia... Ya impondré la moda de caminar sobre las manos... —pensó Gaspar, y se aprestó a cruzar una amplia avenida.
Nunca lo hubiera hecho: ya era el mediodía... los autos circulaban casi pegados unos contra otros. Cientos de personas transitaban apuradas de aquí para allá.
—¡Cuidado! ¡Un loco suelto! —gritaron a coro al ver a Gaspar. El muchacho las escuchó divertido y siguió atravesando la avenida sobre sus manos, lo más campante.
—¿Loco yo? Bah, opiniones...

Pero la gente se aglomeró de inmediato a su alrededor y los vehículos lo aturdieron con sus bocinazos, tratando de deshacer el atascamiento que había provocado con su singular manera de caminar. En un instante, tres vigilantes lo rodearon.
—Está detenido —aseguró uno de ellos, tomándolo de las rodillas, mientras los otros dos se comunicaban por radioteléfono con el Departamento Central de Policía. ¡Pobre Gaspar! Un camión celular lo condujo a la comisaría más próxima, y allí fue interrogado por innumerables policías:
—¿Por qué camina con las manos? ¡Es muy sospechoso! ¿Qué oculta en esos guantes? ¡Confiese! ¡Hable!

Ese día, los ladrones de la ciudad asaltaron los bancos con absoluta tranquilidad: toda la policía estaba ocupadísima con el "Caso Gaspar—sujeto sospechoso que marcha sobre las manos".
A pesar de que no sabía qué hacer para salir de esa difícil situación, el muchacho mantenía la calma y —¡sorprendente!— continuaba haciendo equilibrio sobre sus manos ante la furiosa mirada de tantos vigilantes. Finalmente se le ocurrió preguntar:
—¿Está prohibido caminar sobre las manos?

El jefe de policía tragó saliva y le repitió la pregunta al comisario número 1, el comisario número 1 se la transmitió al número 2, el número 2 al número 3, el número 3 al número 4... En un momento, todo el Departamento Central de Policía se preguntaba: ¿ESTÁ PROHIBIDO CAMINAR SOBRE LAS MANOS? Y por más que buscaron en pilas de libros durante varias horas, esa prohibición no apareció. No, señor. ¡No existía ninguna ley que prohibiera marchar sobre las manos ni tampoco otra que obligara a usar exclusivamente los pies!

Así fue como Gaspar recobró la libertad de hacer lo que se le antojara, siempre que no molestara a los demás con su conducta. Radiante, volvió a salir a la calle andando sobre las manos. Y por la calle debe encontrarse en este momento, con sus guantes, su galera y su valija, ofreciendo manteles a domicilio... ¡Y caminando sobre las manos!

Another issue that you must stay on top of is price fluctuations from the bookmaker. The prices for placing bets do not just change with different bookies but even with the same. You cannot take it for granted that the prices that are quoted in print like the Racing Post will be valid at the time of the event. With sports betting things can change very rapidly so be sure that the price will be honored before placing your bet otherwise this can seriously affect the outcome of your arbitrage sports betting.

Finally, to insure that you do indeed have the best betting odds that you can get, it is crucial as a bettor to shop the money line and the odds. Any reputable sports book online would offer the best line for your wagers without coercion. However, once you have found the best deal, it is important to verify and scrutinize the odds based on the past performance of the particular teams involved you can make appropriate judgments that can be indicative of the weaknesses and strengths of the respective sporting teams. You should also do research on the sports players, injury lists, and the teams if possible.

In July 2006 they finally got what they were hoping for when legislation was passed with a vote of 317 to 93. By passing legislation, it appears imminent that the Wire Act of 1961 is going to be updated to more closely coincide with the internet world of today. Basically, the Wire Act states that it is a felony to transmit bets via wire communications. The next step in the process is for the bill to go in front of the Senate. If they agree with the first round of voting it is safe to say that things are going to change drastically.

The most commonly occurring reason I have found for people consistently losing money at sports betting is that they have no "game plan". The most essential elements of a good game plan for betting purposes are a valid, proven Selection System and a proper Staking Plan. The Staking Plan alone won't cut it; first and foremost you must employ a worthwhile Selection System.

That just about wraps it up. My collection of the very best centre forwards to kick a ball for Manchester Utd before Ferguson's days. Are you wondering why I decided to only include pre-Ferguson players in this list? Actually it's simply because I feel the forwards that have been at Utd during Alex Ferguson's lengthy leadership in charge of United require a write up all to themselves. Sir Alex Ferguson hasn't been short of forwards to chose from. There is a good chance this wont be my last word on the issue. A piece on the strikers who played for Alex may be on the cards. manchester united [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]manchesterunited[/url] The appointment of Sir Matt Busby as United’s manager after the war signalled a turning point in the team’s athletic fortunes. Busby instituted the practice of tapping players from the club’s youth team, then an unheard-of practice, but which soon produced impressive results as the team soon won the Football League in 1956 and 1957. The run ended in 1958 following the tragic Munich air disaster when eight of the team’s players perished. After a shaky period where some thought the club would fold, United once again made it to the winner’s circle by winning the Football League in 1965 and 1967 and the European Cup in 1968. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]rooney[/url] Manchester United Football Club is an English football club that plays in the Premier League. The Red Devils as they are commonly known have more than 300 million world-wide supporters. Meaning that out of every 20 people on earth, one of them will be a Manchester United Fan! Currently managed by Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United are one of the most successful teams in the history of English football having won 21 major titles since he became manager in 1986. During its remarkable history, many distinguished players have run out in the famous Manchester United shirt which can trace its origins back when Manchester United were known as Newton Heath Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Football Club.

Believe it or not, but [url=http://www.hotdeal.vn/ho-chi-minh/]Thoi trang nu[/url] has impacted the lives of untold amounts of people. If you stop and think about it, you will likely notice a lot of the different ways it can wiggle its way into your life. Yet as with many things, there is far more to it and some things should be carefully thought about.

Given that, people have seen more than enough so they do have a handle on it even if they tend not to understand all of it. Not only that, but it is completely natural and normal to want to find what you are looking for. The rest of this article will increase your understanding of this topic.

The general complexities of men's and women's style

Both women and men could have the pressures of maintaining their wardrobe up-to-date and in season, yet men's fashion usually feels a lot easier. Of program, for both sexes, garments and fashion choices may be just as elaborate, and there are lots of'stylish'items that can quickly become fashion faux pas - who will say they frequently see people running around in 70s flares? On the other side, men's fashion has a few staple things that will exist forever - which man is going to keep an eye out of place with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Pick basic cuts, colors and materials and you'll never seem out-of-place.

Why common men's style is timeless

The common man's suit has barely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are many varieties for different occasions, however they are all common in their pursuit of a smart, sharp look for the wearer. The neat thing about common style for men is that it's simply trendy effortlessly neat. A well-groomed lady will more often than not look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this is a testament to the style of such clothing. A match will undoubtedly be utilized to work in many occupations because of the professional look it offers to the individual, instilling a sense of respect and confidence. Equally a suit will undoubtedly be utilized to many social functions, like a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This extraordinary versatility which allows suits to be utilized in just about all functions is what gives it its amazing edge and a lasting devote men's fashion.

Modern movements in traditional men's fashion

Although classic men's designs can never be replaced, it is interesting to note that shifts in men's fashion trends have brought particular basic clothes back into fashion. The acceptance of vintage clothing, specially, has had back a wide-variety of classic designs into men's closets, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who clothe themselves in a classic yet lavish way, placing value on appearance and acting in a sophisticated method. This tendency for almost'over-the-top'traditional style for men is apparent from events such as the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages dress yourself in notably Victorian-style clothing and decide to try the roads on vintage cycles - with lots of the men sporting impeccable mustaches! This is just one single of several samples of proof presenting the revival of such types. There are also numerous blogs on line which concentrate on gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as entire sites such as'The Art of Manliness'focused on giving articles on basic men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, though specific issues with common men's fashion could be brought back as new styles, the basic clothes that they derive from will never fall out of fashion.
