Thirsty Korean with 정이쌤

My friend Carol and I decided to have a short break at the seaside for a few days. We made a reservation at a hostel in South Wales where the prices were very reasonable. We were looking forward to a few days of sunbathing, seeing the sights and eating delicious food. However, it turned out that the hostel was in a very remote location with no beaches, cafes or facilities nearby. Seeing the heavy rain, we headed home the following day.

Seaside break

In the 1970s, renowned Colombian journalist Gonzalo Guillén reported a peculiar story that has since become a memorable anecdote. The tale revolves around a donkey in the town of Sogamoso, who finds himself on the wrong side of the law.

The donkey, in search of fresh grass to graze, wandered onto someone else’s property. This trespassing did not go unnoticed, and the donkey was promptly arrested. He was taken into preventive custody at the local police station, a rather unusual place for a donkey to end up.

But the story takes an even more bizarre turn. During the night, the hungry donkey, perhaps driven by the unfamiliar surroundings or the lack of his usual diet, turned to the only available source of sustenance - the police station’s paperwork. He devoured not only his own case file but also the documents of other detainees.

This incident, while humorous, also serves as a poignant reminder of the often absurd situations that can arise when the worlds of humans and animals intersect. It’s a story that continues to amuse and intrigue, decades after it first made headlines.

This story was originally written by  Gonzalo Guillén and posted on the @HELIODOPTERO X account. 

"Me haces recordar la noticia que redacté en los 70 sobre el burro que fue arrestado en Sogamoso por entrar a pastar en un predio ajeno. Quedó detenido preventivamente en la comisaría de policía y durante la noche se comió con hambre su propio expediente y los de otros presos."

Gonzalo Guillén is a well-known Colombian journalist and researcher. He has been in journalism since 1975 and has worked with various prestigious organizations such as El Tiempo, Colprensa, TV-HOY, La Prensa, El Universo, El País, The Miami Herald, and El Nuevo Herald.

✈️ Diálogo: Planeando un Viaje Soñado🌏🧳  

Clara: ¡Estoy emocionada! Por fin vamos a planear ese viaje del que tanto hemos hablado.  

Luis: ¡Sí! Ya era hora. ¿Tienes alguna idea de a dónde te gustaría ir?  

Clara: Estaba pensando en ir a México. Tiene playas hermosas, historia y una comida increíble.  

Luis: ¡Me encanta la idea! Podemos ir a Cancún o Playa del Carmen para disfrutar del mar.  

Clara: ¡Exacto! Y también podríamos visitar Chichén Itzá. Siempre he querido ver esa maravilla.  

Luis: ¡Buen plan! ¿Cuántos días crees que deberíamos quedarnos?  

Clara: Yo diría una semana, para tener tiempo de disfrutar sin prisas.  

Luis: De acuerdo. Ahora, ¿cómo nos organizamos con el hospedaje?  

Clara: Podemos buscar un hotel cerca de la playa. O quizás un Airbnb para tener más espacio.  

Luis: Me gusta lo del Airbnb. Podríamos incluso cocinar algunos días para ahorrar dinero.  

Clara: ¡Buena idea! Hablando de dinero, ¿cuál crees que debería ser nuestro presupuesto?  

Luis: Si contamos vuelos, hospedaje, comida y actividades, yo diría unos 1.500 dólares por persona.  

Clara: Me parece razonable. ¿Y qué actividades te gustaría hacer allá?  

Luis: Definitivamente, quiero hacer snorkel y probar auténticos tacos mexicanos.  

Clara: ¡Y no podemos olvidar los cenotes! He visto fotos y parecen mágicos.  

Luis: Entonces lo anotamos. Playa, ruinas mayas, cenotes y tacos. ¿Algo más?  

Clara: Quizás una visita a algún pueblo mágico para conocer la cultura local.  

Luis: ¡Perfecto! Ahora solo falta revisar las fechas y comprar los boletos.  

Clara: ¿Te parece bien en julio? Así tenemos tiempo para organizarnos bien.  

Luis: ¡Me parece perfecto! ¡Este viaje va a ser inolvidable!
