Roque Dalton - The Certainty

Roque Dalton - The Certainty

After four hours of torture, the Apache and the other two br cops threw a bucket of water at the prisoner to wake him up br and said: "The Colonel has ordered us to tell you you're to be br given a chance to save your skin. If you guess which of us has br a glass eye, you'll be spared torture." After passing his gaze br over the faces of his executioners, the prisoner pointed to br one of them: "His. His right eye is glass." br br And the astonished cops said, "You're saved! But how did br you guess? All your buddies missed because the eye is br American, that is, perfect." "Very simple," said the prisoner, br feeling he was going to faint again, "it was the only eye that br looked at me without hatred." br br Of course they continued torturing him.
