The guavas were ripe, and Juan’s father sent him to gather enough for
the family and for the neighbors who came to visit them. Juan went to
the guava bushes and ate all that he could hold. Then he began to look
around for mischief.
He soon found a wasp nest and managed to get it into a tight basket.
He gave it to his father as soon as he reached home, and then closed the
door and fastened it. All the neighbors were
inside waiting for the feast of guavas, and as soon as the basket was
opened they began to fight to get out of the windows. After a while Juan
opened the door and when he saw his parents’ swollen faces, he cried
out, “What rich fine guavas those must have been! They have made you
both so very fat.”
