El sermón del cura... o la misa obligatoria


Explanation:
El cura se metía se quedaba pensativo, en el helado patio del invierno, mirando la nada, y cuando ya estabamos ateridos de frío, o bien nos daba un sermón, o nos hacía asistir a una misa. Seguimos en Argentina. El país más extraño del mundo.
