SHOCK. © Carlos de la Parra. (Spanish and English versions, clic down to read.)

El señor González jamás imaginó que viviría a través de una experiencia como la que le aconteció en los últimos diez minutos. Sin duda los más intensos de su existencia. Viajaba enjaulado dentro de una balsa que inevitablemente cobraba velocidad por la corriente que lo iba aproximando a la cascada y de lo cual era impotente testigo. Para su alivio al llegar al punto de la caída la jaula activó un dispositivo que liberó unos globos que le hicieron flotar hacia la orilla del bosque, y que una vez llegado ahí comenzaron a estallar contra los espinosos árboles y haciéndole caer en la arena donde fué rescatado por los lugareños quienes le recomendaron no volver a ir como cobrador a casa del ingeniero, pues éso le disgustaba en extremo.

ENGLISH VERSION.

Max never thought he would see himself involved in such an extreme experience as the one that took place across the last ten minutes. Undoubtedly the most intense ever. He found himself inside a cage that ran the rapids on  a raft picking up speed as it approached the waterfall. In this state of impotence he was relieved by the surprise of a pop caused by a hatch that opened to release the balloons that floated him towards the thorny trees that made them explode and allowed his fall to the sandy area where he was rescued by the local villagers who warned him not to ever return to the engineer's house for the purpose of bill collection, because this terribly crossed him.
