A Conversation on the Beach 

It is a hot summer morning. The sea and the sky are very blue. There are many people on the beach today. Hundreds of people.

Some boys are playing with a big, coloured ball.

Tom swims for an hour. “A long swim is good for me,” he says. “ It keeps me fit. fit . ” ( Me mantiene en forma. ) But poor Margaret, sitting alone under the big umbrella, is already tired of the beach.

She looks at the sky. She looks at the sea. She looks at all the people... Then a good-looking young man, with a very nice voice, comes near her and says: “Good morning! Are you English?”

7 Cousin Mary 

Tom has only one cousin. Some people have many cousins … dozens of cousins … boy cousins a n d girl cousins.. But Tom has only one: his cousi n Mary. So he loves cousins her very much. Poor Mary isn’t pretty. She is ugly. But Tom gets very angry when people say that Mary is ugly. When Tom thinks about his cousin, he remembers a sweet little girl with long hair and with a pale little face face,, playing with him in the garden and always giving him many of her sweets and chocolates. Mary w a s not only generous , but obedient and loving. So, of course, when Tom remembers those days, he says that Mary is not pretty, but she is n o t ugly either . She is only plain. *** Tom is reading “The New American”, his favourite magazine. There are many interesting articles about politics in it, and there are many photos, too ... photos of football, photos of cars, and many colour pictures of Sharon Stone, Demi Moore, Julia Roberts, and many other beautiful Hollywood stars. Margaret thinks that the “New American” is a silly and boring magazine, because it speaks only about politics and sports. And it is full of pictures of Hollywood stars, generally beautiful women. So Margaret says to him, “Why are you always reading that stupid magazine? If you want to read something interesting I have lots of good books.” “No, thanks,” says Tom. “I prefer to read this magazine because I consider it very serious and interesting. Listen to this article for example.”

Cousin Mary 

The article says that there are lots of pretty women in th e world, but there are very few beautiful women. Beautiful women are very rare. “What is your idea of a beautiful woman, Tom dear?” asks Margaret sweetly. “Hm … well”, - says Tom. “La Gioconda, for instance i s a perfect example of classical beauty . And Demi Moore and Julia Roberts are two good examples of beautiful, modern women.” “Yes, Tom. Go on!” on! ” says Margaret.

“Well … you for example, are not beautiful, but you are pretty, very pretty!” Margaret is sad, and she is a littl e angry, too, o f course course.. “And what about your cousin Mary?” she says. “Is she also pretty?” Poor Tom! What can he answer? He cannot say that she is ugly. And he can n o t say that she is pretty either either..

“Well, no. Mary is not pret ty,” he says. No, she is not. She is ugly. Very ugly!” says Margaret. Hearing these cruel words , Tom gets very angry and says, “You are always exaggerating, and I think that you are very unkind, too. This article is right! It says that most women are vain and silly.” Margaret understands that Tom is right. And says in a very timid voice, “I am sorry, dear. Forgive me!” ===== ***

Some of them are sitting outside the cafés, talking and drinking coffee, tea or beer. There are many people looking at the shop windows. Three young men are playing the guitar, and two pretty young women wearing flamenco dresses are dancing and singing. Many people are looking at them and are listening to their lovely music. When they stop playing and dancing, everyone gives them some money. Tom gives them five dollars, so the young men smile sweetly and say, “ Muchas
