Érase una vez, cuando yo tenía cinco años, mi familia y yo vivíamos en el norte del estado de Alabama en una hondonada que se llamaba la hondonada de zarigüeya. Cierto día, nuestra vecina gritó del camino de tierra: Hay una serpiente de cascabel enorme en el camino. ¡Llama a los gendarmes! ¡Dios nos salve! Mi madre le gritó a ella: Yo no tengo que llamar a nadie, porque tengo esta pistola grande aquí en mi bolsa. Entonces, mi madre salió de la casa con su arma como Annie Oakley. Algunos momentos más tarde, mi madre tiró al blanco a la víbora tres veces. Aquella noche para nuestra cena, mi madre nos dio la carne de serpiente de cascabel en vez de la carne de cerdo y nuestro cerdo salvaje descansaba en paz hasta la próxima barbacoa.

I enjoy writing short stories about my childhood in North Alabama. I write all of my short stories in Spanish and I would like to know what you think. This is a true story. Thanks for reading it.
About me: I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I am studying accordion and traditional music from México. I am learning how to play Conjunto, Tejano, Tex-Mex and Norteño.
Have a nice day, John
¡Qué tenga un buen día! Juan
