I fell from a mango tree [ENG-ESP]

Hello everyone. Again with you telling you about my antics as a child. I have to confess that I was quite restless and very wild. I could think of anything.

Hola a todos. Nuevamente con ustedes contándoles mis travesuras cuando niña. Es de confesar que era bastante inquieta y muy tremenda. Se me ocurría cada cosa.

At home there was a very big mango tree. I loved to climb it and I was an expert at climbing it. Part of my childhood and adolescence I played in that mango tree. Just the mango tree was in the garden and when my mother's friends visited my mother would sit with them under the mango tree and when the tree was loaded with mangoes they would delight in peeling with a knife and eating the mangoes. I really remember my mother and her friends having a good time chatting and eating mangoes. And I would climb up and listen to what my mother and her friends were talking about. My mother used to say that girls shouldn't be in adult conversations. So I would climb up the garage roof and then I would climb the mango tree to listen to all the jokes that my mother's friends told and I would laugh quietly hahahaha. I was really a tremendous girl.

En casa había una mata de mango muy grande. Me encantaba treparme en ella era toda una experta para subirla. Parte de mi niñez y adolescencia jugaba en esa mata de mango. Justamente la mata de mango quedaba en el jardín y cuando las amigas de mi madre la visitaban mi madre se sentaba con ellas debajo de la mata de mango y cuando la mata estaba cargada de mangos se deleitaban pelando con un cuchillo y comiéndose los mangos. De verdad recuerdo que mi madre y sus amigas pasaban momentos agradables charlando y comiendo mango. Y yo me trepaba y me quedaba escuchando lo que mi madre y sus amigas hablaban. Mi madre decía en las conversaciones de los adultos no deben estar las niñas. Entonces me subía por el techo de garaje y luego trepaba a la mata de mango para escuchar todos los chistes que las amigas de mi mamá contaban y me reía calladita jajajaja. De verdad que era muy tremenda.

One day my mother wanted to hit me for a prank I had committed but I escaped and spent the whole afternoon climbing in the mango tree. I remember it was a Saturday and my mother had a birthday and was going to meet her friends under the mango tree.

Un día mi madre me quería pegar por una travesura que había cometido pero me escape y pase toda la tarde en la mata de mango trepada. Recuerdo que era un día sábado y mi madre estaba de cumpleaños y se iba a reunir con sus amigas debajo de la mata de mango.

My mother's friends arrived and the pachanga started, they began to dance and I was on the mango tree. I was about ten years old. One of the branches of the mango tree had a wooden plank attached with wires and as it was thin, I stayed there as if it were a bed.

Llegaron las amigas de mi madre y comenzó la pachanga, comenzaron a bailar y yo en la mata de mango trepada. Tendría como diez años. Unas de las ramas de la mata de mango tenía atravesada una tabla de madera sujetada con alambres y como era delgada allí me quedaba como si fuera una cama.

I was afraid to get off because my mother was going to hit me. I was so tired that I fell asleep on the wooden board. I lost my balance and fell into a pile of leaves. And what I did was to scream. I fell on my left arm and broke it. My mother ordered the music to be turned off. Everything was chaos. My grandmother was screaming "the girl killed herself" and blaming my mother because she wanted to hit me. One of my mother's friends had a car and took me to the clinic.

Me daba miedo bajarme porque mi mamá me iba a pegar. Era tanto el cansancio que me venció y me quedé dormida en la tabla de madera. Perdí el equilibrio y caí en una cantidad de hojas que estaban amontonadas. Y lo que hice fue pegar un grito. Cai encima de mi brazo izquierdo y me lo fracture. Mi madre mandó apagar la música. Todo fue un caos. Mi abuela gritaba se mató la niña y le echaba la culpa a mi madre porque me quería pegar. Una de las amigas de mi madre tenía vehículo y me llevaron a la clínica.

Immediately the party was over. I was seen by the doctor on duty and he ordered an x-ray and indeed my arm was fractured. They put my arm in a cast. My mother was distraught and thought I had died. I spent weeks with the cast on and it was worse because I could not stand being in a cast. And I felt like riding on the mango tree hahahaha. After my arm was healed I kept climbing on the mango tree. I was more careful. Since then my mother never punished me or hit me again. hahahahaha.

Enseguida se acabó la fiesta. Me atendió el médico de guardia y ordenó una radiografía y efectivamente tenía el brazo fracturado. Me enyesaron el brazo. Mi madre toda angustiada pensó que me había muerto. Pase semanas con el yeso puesto y era peor porque no soportaba estar enyesada. Y con ganas de montarme en la mata de mango jajajaja. Después que mi brazo sano me seguí trepando en la mata de mango. Tenía más cuidado. Desde entonces mi madre no me castigo ni me pegó más nunca. jajajajaja.
