The Man in Trouble

When the husband had to go to work outside the city, he would prepare the night before. He carefully selected what he would need to fix, what he would have to do the next day. The man, in advance, organized very well in the truck bed, all the tools he would use. He took pains to accommodate everything, without lacking anything for his work.

The most curious thing was that all the tools should be sorted by category or shape, for example, the shovels, in one place. The hammers, in another, the drills, all together, as well as the accessories for painting, among others.

One of many days, his wife and dog would accompany him to work. That man was so meticulous about everything, that he prepared himself as mentioned, according to this so as not to forget anything, but he always had to forget something at home anyway.

That day, he woke up around 7:00 in the morning, got up, got dressed, and turned on his computer like everyday as soon as he stepped out of bed, and he also made himself some coffee. When the man was ready to hit the road to work, he finally grabbed some batteries that he had put on charge overnight, for some of his tools that run on batteries, and then loaded his dog into the truck. The two set out on the journey.

They had already traveled a few miles when the poor man realized that he had forgotten something very important, his wife. He had no choice but to return for her.

El Hombre en Aprietos

Cuando el esposo tenía que salir a trabajar fuera de la ciudad, se preparaba una noche antes. Él seleccionaba minuciosamente lo que necesitaría para arreglar lo que el día siguiente tendría por hacer. El hombre, con anticipación organizaba muy bien en la caja de la camioneta todas las herramientas que usaría; él se esmeraba por acomodar cada cosa, sin que le hiciera falta nada para su labor.

Lo más curioso era que todas las herramientas deberían ser ordenadas por categoría o forma; por ejemplo: las palas, en un lugar; los martillos, en otro; los taladros, todos juntos, así como los accesorios para pintar, entre otros.

Un día de tantos, al trabajo lo acompañarían la esposa y su perro. Ese hombre era tan meticuloso para todo, que él se preparaba así como se menciona, según esto para no olvidar nada; pero, de todos modos, siempre tenía que olvidar algo en su casa.

Ese día, él se despertó como a eso de las 7:00 de la mañana, se levantó, se vistió, y encendió su computadora como todos los días en cuanto ponía un pie fuera de la cama, y también se preparó un café. Cuando el hombre estuvo listo para emprender el viaje a su trabajo, agarró por último algunas baterías que había puesto a cargar por la noche, para algunas de sus herramientas que funcionaban con ese tipo de carga inalábrica, y luego subió a su perro a la camioneta.

Los dos emprendieron el viaje. Ya habían recorrido algunas millas, cuando el pobre hombre se percató que se le había olvidado algo muy importante, su esposa. No le quedó más alternativa que regresar por ella.
