El Chico del Periódico [Spanish]

By Vince Vawter

Memphis, 1959. Un chico de 11 a?os es el mejor lanzador de pelota que jam?s se haya visto, pero hablar no se le da tan bien como jugar al b?isbol: no es capaz de pronunciar una sola palabra sin tartamudear, ni siquiera su nombre. As? que, cuando le toca cubrir la ruta del reparto de peri?dicos de su amigo, sabe que no tendr? m?s remedio que comunicarse con los clientes y que tendr? dificultades para hacerlo. Sin embargo, lo que le causar? verdaderos problemas y lo que pondr? su vida en peligro, as? como la de la sirvienta de la familia, es un altercado con el chatarrero del barrio, que es un abus?n y un ladr?n.

Memphis, 1959. An 11-year-old boy is the best pitcher ever, but he is not as good at talking as playing baseball: he cannot utter a single word without stuttering, not even his name. So when he has to cover his friend's newspaper delivery route, he knows that he will have no choice but to communicate with clients and that he will have a hard time doing so. However, what will cause him real problems and what will put his life in danger, as well as that of the family maid, is an altercation with the neighborhood junk dealer, who is a bully and a thief.
