00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.519
My grandparents' house has been one
of the biggest houses I' ve ever

2
00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:13.000
been to. As a child,
my grandparents came to have a total of

3
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.679
eleven children and almost everyone had a
room of their own. Back then,

4
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:23.320
my grandparents didn' t need that
much to support the family. Inside the

5
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.920
house they had a giant oven in
which they made bread. My grandmother,

6
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:32.520
every time she scolded us for mischief, threatened to get us in there.

7
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.479
I wasn' t afraid of it, but what scared me was the forbidden

8
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:43.039
room among the cousins. We were
telling stories about that room. Rarely did

9
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:48.799
we see any of the grandparents coming
in, as even my uncles or parents

10
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:56.359
were forbidden to enter. There were
stories about that room among my cousins that

11
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.520
there was a huge animal that feeds. My grandparents were just sneaking around.

12
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.519
Others said strange noises were heard.
But the thing that most troubled us all,

13
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.280
and I think that' s what
most people believed, is that there

14
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.439
was someone living in there. One
of the tests we had between cousins was

15
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:21.239
that at night we had to get
to the forbidden room and knock on the

16
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:25.760
door three times. Only the elders
dared to touch and stick their ear to

17
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.359
check if they heard anything on the
other side. I didn' t dare

18
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.719
that much. The second day we
arrived at the grandparents' house came my

19
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:40.680
cousin, Fernando. He was like
my best friend and my best cousin got

20
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:46.239
along very well with him every summer
vacation date we saw we always tried to

21
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.959
stay in front of the forbidden room, play three times and wait a while.

22
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:57.000
However, we were never successful and
preferred to flee. Fernando decided that

23
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.400
this time, if we would succeed, I had the same thought, so

24
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:08.120
I had no objection. We waited
for everyone to fall asleep. We left

25
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:14.159
the room and went to the hallway, where the room was forbidden. The

26
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:19.199
fear could be felt, for everything
was dark. We couldn' t turn

27
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:23.879
on a single focus, as we' d call attention. We stopped at

28
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:29.520
the beginning of the hallway. We
were both so scared. We walked slowly

29
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.639
into the room. I could hear
as the aunt loudly my heart. Fernando

30
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.439
was right behind me. Then we
heard a loud noise coming from the forbidden

31
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:46.560
room. The handle turned and the
door opened. Quickly, Fernando and I

32
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:52.120
hid and watched my grandfather come out
with something in his arms. He slammed

33
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.240
the door to close, but lost
the balance of what he had in his

34
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.599
arms and fell to the ground.
My grandfather said a couple of rude things

35
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:05.719
and it all seemed to indicate that
he had gone through the broom. To

36
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:10.080
pick up what he dropped. Fernando
and I took the opportunity to investigate what

37
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.840
had been what had fallen off of
it. Even though everything was dark,

38
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.919
we approached him. I asked Fernando
what it could be he stung it with

39
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.680
his finger and he told me it
seemed to be meat. I crouched down

40
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:28.159
to smell it, and I did
get a smell of raw meat. Suddenly

41
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:32.280
we heard a grunt very close to
us. We both turned around. We

42
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.840
had not realized that the door of
the forbidden room had not closed properly and

43
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:44.759
was open. We' re both
petrified. We didn' t know what

44
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:49.039
to do. I didn' t
feel my legs, I had them in

45
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.560
awe of fear, I couldn'
t move them. And then, from

46
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.639
the dark, I noticed how a
hand started coming out of the room.

47
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.800
It seemed to be the hand of
an old man, because it was very

48
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.080
wrinkled. Then he pointed at us
inviting us to the room. We both

49
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:12.879
remained silent, said nothing and suddenly
the door closed. Fernando and I woke

50
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.360
up from the trance in which we
were trapped, and then I realized that

51
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.959
my grandfather had returned with the broom
in hand and with the other hand had

52
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:27.759
closed the door. He scolded both
of us very hard. Even Fernando wept

53
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.240
and warned us that it was not
good to stay out of our room at

54
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:36.519
that time, much less in front
of the forbidden room. He ended up

55
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:41.800
punishing us so we wouldn' t
go through that hallway again. However,

56
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.079
he asked us for a favor after
the scolding. He asked us not to

57
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:51.639
tell anyone what we saw there.
Inside the next day, both Fernando and

58
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:57.680
I were serious all the time.
They ate me the longing to know what

59
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:03.519
was hiding behind that poerra. I
was quite intrigued to have seen a hand

60
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:09.959
come out of the dark and invite
us through. Fernando no longer wanted to

61
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.600
know about it and preferred to avoid
me, because I asked him to investigate

62
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.319
what was there, but he no
longer wanted to participate, being thus I

63
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:25.639
prepared to ask my uncles about that
room. I didn' t hear much.

64
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.680
I really knew something was hiding there, my grandfather, who wasn'

65
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:35.560
t human, but no one could
ask or approach that door. That'

66
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:41.120
s when I realized I had to
get close to my grandmother. I really

67
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:45.160
didn' t want to. If
I wanted to know the truth about that

68
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.879
room, I had to. Fortunately, my grandmother wasn' t there.

69
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:53.959
He had gone out to buy things
for the food. It was also Grandpa,

70
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.160
so I set out to approach the
room on my own, to know

71
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:03.519
a good one once there was.
This time I would be more careful to

72
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:10.959
no one I told him what I
would do, so it would be a

73
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.360
complete secret with care. I approached
the door of the forbidden room. The

74
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:19.600
silence was almost absolute broken only by
the occasional crackling of the old wood of

75
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.879
the house. When I stepped on
the ground. As I arrived in front

76
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.839
of the door, my heart began
to beat even faster. I stood there

77
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:33.120
doubting with my hand on the doorknob. I remembered the grunt of the night

78
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:38.600
before and the wrinkled hand that had
invited us in. There was a time

79
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:44.000
when I thought better not to,
but I was very curious and that was

80
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.240
when I turned the handle slowly.
The door opened with a squeak and as

81
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:54.079
I looked out I noticed that the
room was in dim light. Only by

82
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:59.360
the light coming through a small window
covered in dust. I didn' t

83
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.279
see anything weird at first. I
noticed the old furniture covered by blankets,

84
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:09.519
a messy bed and many stacked boxes, but particularly there was a strong smell,

85
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.199
moisture and something else, something I
couldn' t identify at all.

86
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:19.560
I stepped inside and the door closed
softly behind me. Getting scared, I

87
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:25.680
turned quickly to open the door,
but then I realized it was locked securely.

88
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:32.000
It seemed that the door was designed
to lock itself safely by itself was

89
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:39.480
trapped and I still didn' t
know what was in there had no choice.

90
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.759
I had to move on. I
thought maybe with some luck, I

91
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.560
' d find another way out.
I continued to explore the room. My

92
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.360
look stopped in an old closet that
seemed to be out of place as if

93
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:59.720
someone had moved it recently. I
approached and realized that behind him or him

94
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:05.199
there was what looked like a hidden
passageway. I was concerned that I found

95
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:11.600
that way, but the thing that
was most disturbing to me was that that

96
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.439
unknown smell was getting stronger. The
passageway was narrow and dark, barely illuminated

97
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:22.879
by a faint light coming from somewhere
later. I started going down. It

98
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:28.079
seemed that the room reached the basement
of the house I decided to move on.

99
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.839
If I really got to the basement, I could go out that way.

100
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.559
As the smell grew stronger, I
was getting closer. At the end

101
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:41.919
of the passageway I arrived at a
small room that did not seem to have

102
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.000
been used in a long time.
There was a desk covered in paper and

103
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:52.440
a lot of foreign objects jars,
with colored liquids, rusty tools and dusty

104
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:58.519
books. Then I heard a loud
noise at my side alarmed. I turned

105
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.320
around and realized there was a cage
covered with a blanket. My heart began

106
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:11.240
to speed up. The cage was
definitely shaking what was in there. I

107
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.960
knew I was there. I approached
with fear and caution. I lifted the

108
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.399
blanket. It was a small being, with huge hands and huge wrinkled and

109
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:26.960
deformed feet had features very similar to
those of a human. Suddenly I heard

110
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:31.840
steps, approaching through the passageway,
I turned quickly looking for a place to

111
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.559
Hide I found an old wardrobe right
next to the passageway and got inside,

112
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.799
leaving just a slit to observe.
I saw my grandfather enter the room,

113
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.480
he looked agitated and went straight to
the cage, beginning to speak to him

114
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.639
in a language he did not understand. I saw it was my chance.

115
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.440
My grandfather was turning his back on
me, so I snuck out of the

116
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.279
closet and sneaked out of the hallway, begging for the door to be open

117
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.360
on the other side. At that
time I knew I should be careful with

118
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.200
what I had discovered. Luckily,
my grandfather had left the door ajar,

119
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.639
had stuck the lock in such a
way that the door would not be closed.

120
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.679
I got out so fast, I
didn' t realize that Fernando was

121
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:26.600
out in the hallway. I wonder
what I was doing inside and why I

122
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.279
looked so agitated. I had no
choice but to tell him everything I had

123
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.960
seen and discovered. He didn'
t believe me at first, but he

124
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:41.000
could see it in his face that
he was afraid. We try not to

125
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.440
say anything about it and try to
investigate. My grandfather never realized my mischief.

126
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:52.159
At the moment, only Fernando knew. So we behave in the most

127
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:58.320
normal way possible. However, we
noticed that my grandfather behaved in a strange

128
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.440
way. He walked away from the
others. During dinner he was not with

129
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.639
the family and when we saw him, he had his arm covered with a

130
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.919
sheet. We knew that Grandpa kept
his mysteries and secrets, but on this

131
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.440
occasion his behavior was very strange.
At midnight, while everyone was asleep,

132
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.600
I stayed awake. I kept thinking
about that creature I' d seen all

133
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:30.159
of a sudden. Fernando asked me
if I was still awake. He told

134
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.759
me that he had investigated with his
brother about the creature I described to him

135
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:39.679
and told him that it was a
goblin. The characteristics were very similar to

136
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.840
the one I had described to Fernando. We wondered why Grandpa had a hidden

137
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:50.840
one while Fernando and I were talking
a loud noise. It was heard outside

138
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:56.159
the room, where all the cousins
were asleep. I got up quickly to

139
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.559
see what it was all about.
It was as if something had broken.

140
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:05.000
I looked down the hall and horrified, I noticed that goblin walking clumsily.

141
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:11.440
In the middle of the hall,
I sensed the same strange smell as before.

142
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:15.919
Everything seemed to indicate that that goblin
still did not realize that I was

143
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:22.120
seeing him, even seemed disoriented.
Then I reminded my grandfather that he looked

144
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:28.200
worried. Everything indicated that perhaps that
being had hurt him and could not protect

145
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:33.000
him anymore. Very carefully, I
closed the door a little bit to keep

146
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.440
the leprechaun from seeing me. Fernando
came to where I was and when he

147
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:43.559
saw the creature, he couldn'
t help but scream in fear the goblin

148
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.799
quickly returned to the door of our
room. My first reaction out of fear

149
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.440
was to shut the door completely.
We both remained silent. Fernando had his

150
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:58.480
hands on his mouth. Suddenly we
began to hear scratches on the other side

151
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.679
of the dead door. We stared
at the door without knowing what we could

152
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:09.720
do. The scratches intensified as if
he were a big dog eager to enter.

153
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:16.000
I realized the noises were waking up
to the others. Suddenly we heard

154
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.639
my grandfather' s voice. He
yelled at the creature in the same language

155
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.320
as before. The scratches stopped immediately
and I heard my grandfather running down the

156
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.679
hall. Fernando asked me to open
the door to see what was happening.

157
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.399
But I asked him to wait a
few minutes for everything to calm down.

158
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.720
We were silent. I kept thinking
if this was all my fault. Nothing

159
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:46.120
was heard anymore, so we opened
the door slowly. Before us there was

160
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:52.320
only one dark corridor and in silence
we went out into the hallway trying not

161
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.039
to make the slightest noise. The
moonlight entered through the windows. It was

162
00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:00.799
enough to let us see every corner. The house is the house was in

163
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:05.919
absolute silence. Our footprints seemed to
be rumbling. As we moved on.

164
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:11.879
I could sense that strange smell again
I could feel like fear. It completely

165
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.399
paralysed me. Suddenly, a loud, dry noise rang from the bottom of

166
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:22.440
the hallway, followed by a sound
of something crawling. We both stopped dry

167
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:28.559
and looked into our eyes. I
could notice that Fernando was terrified and I

168
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:33.200
felt the same way it was the
same sound we had heard before. When

169
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:39.519
the leprechaun had first appeared, Fernando
asked me what we would do. He

170
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:45.600
could feel fear in his trembling voice. I replied that we had to investigate

171
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.600
what was going on. We'
re heading where we hear that noise.

172
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.159
We were both stuck to the wall
and hidden in the shadows of the hallway.

173
00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:00.639
When we came to the end,
we saw the door of the forbidden

174
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.080
room ajar close enough to perceive the
murmurs in the strange language that my grandfather

175
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.919
had used with the creature. As
we entered the room, we realized that

176
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.600
things had changed, furniture broken or
moved as if a struggle had been waged

177
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:24.080
there. Inside my grandfather' s
voice came from the passageway, so we

178
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:28.200
went into it. We went as
far as we could until everything was quiet.

179
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.360
We stayed hidden in the passageway.
I noticed my grandfather was in the

180
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:39.200
middle of the room holding a flashlight. He seemed to be looking for the

181
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.120
leprechaun, as he had been lost
sight of. In front of him.

182
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.639
The cage was open and empty.
Then my grandfather began to speak in that

183
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:56.360
strange language and could notice the discomfort
in his voice. Suddenly behind him and

184
00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:02.480
near where we were. We heard
the goblin grunt. That creature. I

185
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.960
was really scared to see her with
her huge eyes like marbles shining. It

186
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.200
was kind of intimidating. My grandfather
started talking to him, it seemed like

187
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.039
he wanted to calm him down,
but he felt horrible pressure in the air.

188
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.960
The goblin snarled again. He was
sitting in books, he got up

189
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:25.879
and walked towards my grandfather. Suddenly, my grandfather stood still with both arms

190
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:30.919
at his side. He seemed to
have been hypnotized by the leprechaun. Suddenly,

191
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.559
the leprechaun threw himself at my grandfather. He couldn' t stop it

192
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:40.759
and fell straight to the ground.
We couldn' t let the goblin hurt

193
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:47.519
Grandpa, although fear kept us paralyzed. I left the hiding place and took

194
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:52.840
one of the tubes that were recharged
in the wall and hit it directly in

195
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:56.960
the body. The Goblin walked away. My grandfather had his face covered with

196
00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:03.000
his arms. Fortunately, he had
not yet noticed our presence. I quickly

197
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:06.960
looked for the leprechaun with my eyesight
and saw him hiding between things. I

198
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:14.200
realized it was the right time to
escape my grandfather. He was barely recovering

199
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.359
from the damage he received. Fernando
and I went back down the hall,

200
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:23.119
running as fast as we could.
We rushed into our room and closed the

201
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:30.359
door at once. We stood there
gasping and listening to our own hearts beating

202
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:36.960
loudly. We spent the rest of
the night in silence, wondering if Grandpa

203
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.799
was all right. I was still
shaking with fear and adrenaline. I couldn

204
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:48.920
' t sleep. Fernando kept repeating
to me that we should go back to

205
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.359
see if Grandpa was okay, but
I reminded him of what the leprechaun did

206
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:59.759
to our grandfather and he better stay
quiet the next morning. They called us

207
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:04.440
all for breakfast to all of us
behaved in the quietest way possible. However,

208
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:10.480
something had changed in the house.
Apparently, Grandpa had never appeared since

209
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:17.400
the night before and Grandma had a
grim expression. It was remarkable that he

210
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.240
was worried about something. There were
guys and cousins who started the talk,

211
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.759
but Grandma didn' t answer them. You could feel a strong tension in

212
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:33.200
the atmosphere after breakfast, Grandma spoke
to Fernando and me. To be honest,

213
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.759
I was a little scared of Grandma. I' ve never seen her

214
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:42.160
be very happy or happy. He
always had a face of few friends.

215
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:49.119
We sat right in front of her
and then she mentioned to us what we

216
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:53.359
had hidden so much. He mentioned
that Grandpa was beaten and told us everything

217
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.880
that happened. I had thought he
had not noticed my presence, but it

218
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:03.319
was the opposite. However, what
worried Grandma most was not the fact that

219
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:08.960
we were in the forbidden room,
but the fact that that goblin had escaped.

220
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:18.240
Then Grandma told us the story of
the leprechaun and his family. My

221
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:23.519
grandparents were looking for a place where
my grandfather was not very good. Doing

222
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:27.200
several things so it wasn' t
easy for him to find a job.

223
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:33.880
It was then that a strange woman
approached them and offered them the opportunity to

224
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.759
never miss the money at home.
This obviously caught Grandpa' s attention.

225
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:45.279
That' s when he sold them
a leprechaun. He told grandparents that they

226
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.400
could live up to a hundred years
and was a goblin of money. The

227
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:53.359
lady had told them that it would
be best to keep the hidden for their

228
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:59.119
magic to work. But once his
magic went away, he would vanish without

229
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:03.799
realizing it. My grandmother was worried, and it' s that, remembering,

230
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:11.200
I never knew that grandparents needed money
in their lives. They always had

231
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.799
something with them. I don'
t understand many things about magic, but

232
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.160
it should be noted that both Grandma
and Fernando and I started looking for the

233
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:22.279
leprechaun. This one never showed up. At the end of that day.

234
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.519
My grandfather showed up. I thought
he would scold Fernando and me, but

235
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.400
he behaved very calmly and, like
us, he started looking for the goblin.

236
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.480
Days passed, the leprechaun never showed
up at home. Grandma gave up

237
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.480
almost on the third day, but
as far as I know, my grandfather

238
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:47.759
searched for him for weeks. Even
in our absence it had returned from classes

239
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.920
and it was raining. I remember
it perfectly because my mother asked me to

240
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.240
pick up the clothes quickly. When
I got to the roof, I was

241
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:02.000
moving as fast as I could.
The rain had already begun to fall suddenly

242
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:07.119
behind the pile of sheets that I
had already removed. I saw the goblin

243
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.920
sitting on a couple of partitions.
It was in a single blink even if

244
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.400
it had been a short time,
his image was very engraved in my mind,

245
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.920
so it was easy to recognize it. Suddenly the leprechaun appeared again,

246
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:26.400
but now before me, when I
saw him I knew that the danger had

247
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.319
not been left behind. At my
grandparents' house, the goblin watched me

248
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:34.799
with those big, bright eyes and
I felt a chill running through my back.

249
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:40.519
My mother yelled at me from below
asking if it was over, which

250
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:45.319
broke my paralysis. I quickly picked
up the remaining sheets without looking away from

251
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:48.400
the goblin and headed towards the ladder, which was coming down from the ceiling.

252
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:53.799
With every step. I felt his
look stuck in my back. That

253
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:59.720
night I could hardly sleep my mind. It was full of images of my

254
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.440
mother' s leprechaun and grandfather secretly
wounded. I wanted to phone the grandparents

255
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:08.039
' house to tell them that I
had seen it, but there was no

256
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:14.799
line. I had no other way
of communicating with grandparents. The next morning,

257
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:21.559
the house seemed strangely quiet. Everything
happened in the most normal way possible.

258
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.160
Months later, during the winter vacation, we returned to the grandparents'

259
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:32.519
house. Fernando and I hadn'
t talked much about what happened, but

260
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:37.039
we both felt the same restlessness.
The house was the same, but without

261
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:41.920
the air of mystery that had always
surrounded it. Grandparents welcomed us, but

262
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:47.119
I noticed in their eyes a sadness
that I had not seen before. The

263
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:52.279
family found out Grandpa had no money
anymore. Obviously, being a family,

264
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.279
they didn' t leave them alone
and helped them with the expenses. I

265
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.839
started to think that this was all
my fault, but then I noticed that

266
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:07.039
the grandparents were more relaxed and the
tension I had felt before seemed fading.

267
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:12.319
Today I have become more believers of
these creatures and the truth intrigues me quite

268
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:19.440
a story. Written and adapted by
the language of the sorcerer
