The Girl Who Could Silence The Wind - Plot & Excerpts
THE TROUBLES of a taxi boy had no end.Pancho tried to think of anything but the throbbing at the side of his head, which made him feel lopsided as he guided his bike taxi along the street. One day pompous men like Señor Arenas would think twice about taking such liberties with him, he mused darkly. The nerve of it made him want to punch out blindly. One day no one would call him Pancho. They would say, Ah, Francisco Muñoz, of course, he’s the famous poet from Tres Montes, the man who brings grown men to tears using only his pen! He is the president’s favorite entertainer! Never again would anyone say, Pancho the Orphan, bike-taxi driver, whose ears you can yank like bread dough.He pedaled along the darkening streets, dodging dips and holes to keep Tía Neli comfortable. He had only been a full-time taxi boy for a few weeks, and while he was Señor Pasqual’s favorite worker, he had found it was not an easy job at all. To be a good taxi boy, one had to live by absolute rules. You had to be stronger than a mule to haul fat passengers without grunting.
