I don't know what i'm doingI don't knowI don't know what this isMISS WOOD: Is my car ready yet? ATTENDANT: I don't know, madam. What's the number of your car? MISS WOOD: It's LFZ312G. ATTENDANT: When did you bring it to us? MISS WOOD: I brought it here three days ago. ATTENDANT: Ah yes, I remember now. MISS WOOD: Have your mechanics finished yet? ATTENDANT: No, they're still working on it. Let's go into the garage and have a look at it. ATTENDANT: Isn't that your car? MISS WOOD: Well, it was my car. ATTENDANT: Didn't you have a crash? MISS WOOD: That's right. I drove it into a lamp-post. Can your mechanics repair it? ATTENDANT Well, they're trying to repair it, madam. But to tell you the truth, you need a new car!Bums in the Attic I want a house on a hill like the ones with the gardens where Papa works. We go on Sundays, Papa's day off. I used to go. I don't anymore. You don't like to go out with us, Papa says. Getting too old? Getting too stuck-up, says Nenny. I don't tell them I am ashamed -all of us staring out the window like the hungry. I am tired of looking at what we can't have. When we win the lottery . . . Mama begins, and then I stop listening. People who live on hills sleep so close to the stars they forget those of us who live too much on earth. They don't look down at all except to be content to live on hills. They 86 Sandra Cisneros have nothing to do with last week's garbage or fear of rats. Night comes. Nothing wakes them but the wind. One day I'll own my own house, but I won't forget who I am or where I came from. Passing bums will ask, Can I come in? I'll offer them the attic, ask them to stay, because I know how it is to be without a house. Some days after dinner, guests and I will sit in front of a fire. Floorboards will squeak upstairs. The attic grum- ble. Rats? they'll ask. Bums, I'll say, and I'll be happy. Minerva is only a little bit older than me but already she has two kids and a husband who left. Her mother raised her kids alone and it looks like her daughters will go that way too. Minerva cries because her luck is unlucky. Every night and every day. And prays. But when the kids are asleep after she's fed them their pancake dinner, she writes poems on little pieces of paper that she folds over and over and holds in her hands a long time, little pieces of paper that smell like a dime. She lets me read her poems. I let her read mine. She is always sad like a house on fire-always something wrong. 84 Sandra Cisneros She has many troubles, but the big one is her husband who left and keeps leaving. One day she is through and lets him know enough is enough. Out the door he goes. Clothes, records, shoes. Out the window and the door locked. But that night he comes back and sends a big rock through the window. Then he is sorry and she opens the door again. Same story. Next week she comes over black and blue and asks what can she do? Minerva. I don't know which way she'll go. There is nothing I can do. Timmy: What are you doing, Jack? Jack: I am making lemonade. I will sell lemonade at my lemonade stand. Timmy: How does it taste? Is it delicious? Jack: I don't know. This is my first time to make lemonade. Timmy: Here, you can have a try. Jack: Wow, this is not very yummy. It tastes just like lemon juice. It is very sour. Timmy: You need to add sugar. Here, have a taste. Jack: Wow, this tastes very sweet. It's yummy!
