Fictitious effort

New situations sometimes prevent us from following the path of others. However, while we understand the reason for our impotence, a solution can be found, bringing interest, enthusiasm, desire and power to this end. But many are swallowed with the comfort of hearing strange anecdotes about events, events, laughter and people who are left behind. To me, however, those of yesteryear did not know it in the effort to learn, they seem to me things that have to happen, experiment, live...

That's why they were told to let others know too, and today, instead of dedicating time and space to correction, you give way to the repetition of the same mistakes over and over again, or this is what happens to me. Is it just my business? Is it possible that I cannot go along?

A gabirio went to Ordizia on a Wednesday show, as it was then when the eye doctor came, and while he was sitting at his side he began to test and change lenses in his left eye, to test them and to continue them. After devoting almost half an hour to the same thing in the other eye, the eye doctor says: “You have a good view and what do you need the glasses for?” And from where the Gavilan lay on the bank “I also know I have good sight, I need anti-eyes for my wife!”

At that time, grandma, grandpa, mother... used the same pair of glasses, but a little later on in the nose, with the well-defined measure. Thus, it can be understood that this anecdote was produced only with the glasses, not with dentures or dentures.

Again, at the Beasain Theatre, when they changed the armchairs and put the new ones, it was done first in the performance, a well-known bertsolari always went to the program and started to move the seat of the armchair and to sit back on top. She glanced at the young group in the back row and pushed it back down, but the answer was back up. In the second, the young man is infamous, “What, has to get angry?” The young people had hardly concentrated in that session!

When telling anecdotal students like this, they laugh at the cute but they are taken as imaginary stories, even though they try to make them understand from the logic of the situation of the time. However, the two previous protagonists surely understood and overcome the situations.

On the other hand, in the works, the real fables come again and again, very healthy. Examples include:
“Birds make children every year.” Instead of giving examples, it is better to teach nesting roads!
“The sheep’s husband is the ram” What is the Dirty, the brother-in-law?
“The cow is pregnant… and when the child is born, he will live with the mother and father...”
