¿Cómo has dicho, Marta? ¿Mientras dure la vida, sigamos con el cuento?
Marta:
Y… “Mientras quede vida, hablemos de vida”.
Nicolás:
¿Hasta que quede vida…? Pero bueno… hoy estás muy filosófica.
Marta:
Son dos citas de la escritora Carmen Martín Gaite que resumen su pensamiento. ¡Qué grandísima escritora! Su palabra preferida era futuro, para que nos acordemos de que hay futuro.
Nicolás:
¿La escritora Carmen Martín Gaite? Yo he leído algún libro suyo cuando iba al colegio.
Marta:
En la feria del Libro de Madrid 2017 han querido hacer un homenaje a esta escritora y han reeditado seis de sus obras para que se muestrela vigencia de sus obras. Era una escritora que despertaba interés tanto comercial como académico.

Una amiga de Barcelona me llamó y me dijo que ayer no pegó ojo en toda la noche. La razón: ¡un enjambre de abejas se ha instalado en la farola delante de la puerta de su casa!
Nicolás:
¿Y por eso tu amiga no ha podido pegar ojo?
Marta:
¡Qué quieres que te diga, Nicolas, a mi amiga le dan miedo las abejas! Aunque parece ser que hoy ya han venido los apicultores del ayuntamiento para llevarse el enjambre a la clínica. En ese lugar, el ayuntamiento guarda muchas colmenas y además las abejas reciben un tratamiento sanitario.
Nicolás:
¿Hay trabajadores del ayuntamiento que se dedican atrasladar abejas de un lugar a otro? Oye, ¡qué bien! Eso sí que vale la pena.
Marta:
Pues sí, desde enero del 2016 unos profesionales ponen a estas abejas en una zona protegida de la ciudad. Es un secreto, nadie sabe dónde están situadas. Temen que podrían robarlas, ¿sabes? ¡Una colmena activa vale mucho dinero!
