Who has not had a "bloody experience" as a child? Those missteps, such stumble that life gives us to grow and learn every day. The situations and sometimes we make mistakes, we always leave an elegant moral and invite us to not repeat the same thing next time.
When you're a child, have not been wanting those "touch of life", that make us see the dangers that may arise, be dealing with situations such as "borderline", which is filled with excitement and lots of adrenaline, is also very common in minors. And so during the school just experienced those situations where accidents occur frequently.
There are many anecdotes about these kinds of experiences within our classrooms step. A week ago I had an accident during my daily bath, and already on the ground came to my mind, those falls, those punches that you received as a child, now inspire this article. On Wednesday, Martin started talking to remember those taps and analyze what was the reaction of everyone when they occurred. Not everyone reacts the same way and right there is the anecdotal detail. Just as we these accidents, often react similarly large in situations other that are not just physical damage.
Stoning
In elementary we used to always get together in small groups, the breaks were too short for fun. Had colleagues who liked to take a handful of stones and throwing them up in the air when they were in the group. This act was carried out quickly and violently that many do not cover and rain of stones hit them. Fortunately, almost always were gijarros or very small stones and harmless. One of those who had that custom was Hannibal Bustamante.
One day in late April 1974 the group were near the cafeteria and "running track" around the football field, had some sitting on benches, others standing and who were in the ground . Anibal and Ricardo Bustamante were in the group, Gustavo, Walter and I were some of those who were well. This time Walter Valderrama was in the lead, quickly grabbed a handful of stones and threw it into the air. He had the habit to do so, which is why this caught us by surprise act. The most surprised was the Chinese who stayed Anibal in place waiting for the adrenaline rain. For bad luck "Kato", Walter took the largest and pointed. One of these shells fell on the head of "Achin friend." Hannibal without overdoing it took the lead and when Walter was preparing to amengüar blamed, giving some sobaditas, came a great gush of blood, the same pool of water. The wound was still covering the vital liquid emanating from his head. A great cut that stone had caused sharp, yellowish scalp drilled Anibal. We took the topic to be taken to the hospital emergency where you put 5 points. Mariano's brother was the one who took him in her car, wondering who had produced such an incident. When she heard was Walter, he was surprised but did not give due prominence. Walter enjoyed a frank immunity for being a diligent student.
The poor Chinaman was the "medicine of their own medicine" and he never played that way in recess.
Sebastián Elcano shot down
was 1975 and we had a job to do in the course of history of Peru and the world. Jibaja Professor Victor Cruz had said that we form groups to represent some passages of history. In our group it was the theater to conduct Expedition Magellan and Elcano around the world.
The group was made up almost all, the fellow who lived nearby, so much so that were the Bustamante brothers, Martin, the "Maestro" Santillan, Gustavo, Pepe Chavez and I, among many others. We had to rehearse the staging and chose the house of "Pulpín" Orellana to review the script and scenes. At that time I made a director, screenwriter and I was responsible for special effects. In one scene, the natives had to raid the craft of adventurers. They were supposed mortally hurt Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastián Elcano, character I played. The "skinny" Santillán was chief natives of the Philippines and was ahead of his own. Instead of attacking Magallanes (I think he personified "duck" Cordova) was right at me pushing me violently, falling dramatically on the grass in the garden of the house. Everything would have been an anecdote and laughter may lack the knowledge of the history of the "master." Before falling to the ground, I remember I made a break same style serial killing of police officers, turning my body, my mind went to the portentous brass pipe was there.
You can imagine the applause I received for such action (great falls were my specialty). I did not realize that out of my head a strong jet of blood that did not stop anything. Just a little pain I felt, but the impact was serious. They took me to the bathroom where all doctors swore. I put a knife impregnated with soap, then put pressure on ice intentarom wound up burning cotton put me on top, spider web, etc.. The blood kept coming, and my shirt was red and had no thing to take home from my parents to immediately move to the assistance of San Antonio (now Emergency Hospital Casimiro Ulloa)
While
learned literally "the study with blood" was an experience that marked my childhood and from that hospital visit, so far I have not been in a hospital visit but, thank God I avoided happen again as a patient since that time and try to take care as I can.
are situations that occurred in our lives, now are even hilarious, but sometimes they were instructive. Next week I will post other insurance that will seem funny.
