The Case of the Playful Chandelier | ZAPFIC50 MONDAY (6/12/23) | Prompt: version (versión) [Eng/Esp]
For this week's ZAPFIC Monday challenge, we have the ZAPFIC50. This challenge by @felt-buzz is a micro story told in exactly 50 words. The prompt "version" presented the opportunity to explore the complexities of human nature. It's well established that an given situation is subject to a person's point of view. When more than one person is involved, each may recall an event differently due to perception and memory recall. This is especially true when dealing with children.
My story is below:
A stern look with hands folded was cue their mother was in no mood for falsehoods.
"Would either of you wish to explain the version of what happened that I might actually believe?
Both children gulped, then stared at the chandelier laying on the floor, a rope around its collar.

Para el reto del lunes de ZAPFIC de esta semana, tenemos el ZAPFIC50. Este reto de @felt-buzz consiste en contar un microrrelato en 50 palabras exactas. El tema "versión" ofrecía la oportunidad de explorar las complejidades de la naturaleza humana. Está bien establecido que una situación dada está sujeta al punto de vista de una persona. Cuando hay más de una persona implicada, cada una de ellas puede recordar un acontecimiento de forma diferente debido a la percepción y a la memoria. Esto es especialmente cierto cuando se trata de niños.
Mi historia está abajo:
El caso de la araña juguetona
Una mirada severa con las manos cruzadas fue la señal de que su madre no estaba de humor para falsedades.
"¿Alguno de vosotros quiere explicarme la versión de lo sucedido que yo podría creer?
Los dos niños tragaron saliva y se quedaron mirando la lámpara de araña tirada en el suelo, con una cuerda alrededor del cuello.

Hilarious!
I'm pleased you think so. Children are amazing in their ability to conjure up stories they don't take time how ridiculous they sound. I know me and my siblings did.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care.

I just thought of Lil' Robert and George standing there, or Milton and Gracie, and just rolled ... or any of my students, a couple of whom I've told, "If you gon' lie, at least make it interesting ... if you're not going to do the smart thing and tell the truth, at least make it interesting for me to hear you lie!"
