Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabía una vez en Mongolia rey llamado Yerteger que se encontraba furiosos porque pese a que quería un pájaro ninguno de sus guardias y servidores había podido traer al palacio dicho pájaro maravilloso y a todos los que regresaban con las manos vacias los mandaba a asotar. Lo más sorprendente del pájaro era que no se ocultaba ni huía. Todos sabían exactamente dónde se encontraba. El camino para llegar a él no era sencillo, pero tampoco imposible. Consistía en ascender hasta la cima de una alta montaña. Allí, posado en la rama de un majestuoso pino, el pájaro cantaba y gorjeaba alegremente. Además, tenía la capacidad de hablar. No era la rapidez de sus alas lo que hacía tan difícil atraparlo, sino su extraordinaria inteligencia. Tantos habían intentado capturarlo que habían terminado por abrir un sendero en la vegetación de la montaña. El rey era joven y valiente.-No volveré a enviar a nadie -dijo a sus cortesanos. Estoy harto de escuchar excusas. Esta vez iré yo mismo a buscar ese famoso pájaro. Montando uno de sus mejores caballos, especialmente entrenado para trepar por los senderos montañosos, el rey llegó sin dificultad hasta el majestuoso pino milenario. El pájaro imposible no hizo el menor intento de escapar. Al contrario, se posó voluntariamente sobre el hombro de Su Majestad, quien se llenó de alegría al ver que lo había conseguido con tanta facilidad. -Muy respetado rey -dijo entonces el pájaro. Me has atrapado fácilmente. Y podrás llevarme a tu palacio sin dificultad, con tal de que cumplas una condición. Por el camino no debes hablar, ni suspirar, ni lanzar exclamaciones. l rey le pareció que cumplir con esa condición sería muy sencillo. Así que ambos comenzaron el descenso de la montaña. Durante el trayecto, el pájaro imposible empezó a narrar un cuento: Cuentan los que saben que  en un país distante vivía un cazador junto a su madre y su fiel perro. Un día, mientras cazaba con su perro, se encontró con una carreta varada en el camino debido a un eje roto. Su dueño estaba muy preocupado, ya que el vehículo estaba cargado de joyas y monedas de oro y plata. No podía alejarse en busca de ayuda porque temía que alguien le robara sus valiosas pertenencias. —Usted parece una persona honesta —le dijo el dueño de la carreta al cazador—. Por favor, quédese aquí cuidando mi carreta mientras voy a la aldea a buscar a alguien que me ayude a repararla.El cazador aceptó y se quedó esperando junto a su perro. Sin embargo, las horas pasaban y empezaba a anochecer, pero el dueño de la carreta no regresaba. La madre del cazador era mayor y estaba enferma, por lo que el cazador tenía que volver para prepararle la comida.—Quédate aquí. No dejes que nadie se lleve ni una sola moneda —le dijo al perro—. ¡Y no te muevas hasta que yo vuelva!El perro, fiel y excelente guardián, cuidó de que el buey que arrastraba la carreta no se moviera del lugar y estuvo dando vueltas alrededor del vehículo durante horas, sin permitir que nadie se acercara.Mientras tanto, el dueño de la carreta, después de recorrer varias aldeas, finalmente encontró a alguien capaz de repararla. Cuando regresó, ya era de noche. Al ver al buen perro, se dio cuenta de que era un animal único. Muy agradecido, le puso unas cuantas monedas de plata en la boca para que se las llevara al cazador.El perro volvió alegremente a su casa y dejó las monedas a los pies de su amo. Pero el cazador se enfureció.—¡Te dije que cuidaras la carreta! ¡Y en lugar de eso, tú mismo has robado estas monedas! ¡Ahora verás!Tomando un palo, le dio al pobre animal una tremenda paliza

With today's mix, we close the chapter on this year's collaboration with Perpendicular Festival, where we teamed up to present some of the most inspiring and forward-thinking sets from artists like Eight Fold Way, 037, Javier Marimon, Sciama, and o.utlier. For the grand finale, we've saved something truly special: a live set from Valencia-based duo Pajaro Dune, composed of Jaime Romero (aka Estrato Aurora) and composer/pianist David Ortolà (aka d_o_ppelgaenger). If you've followed Delayed, you're likely already familiar with these two. Their partnership spans over two decades; in that time, they've refined a distinct musical dialogue. This particular set, performed on a Sunday around noon, struck the perfect tone for what followed. The interplay between broken, raw, and distorted 606 grooves, oscillating effortlessly from halftime to low-slung tempos around 100 BPM, paired with atmospheric synths, created a hypnotic and propulsive mood. Romero and Ortolà have found a rare balance, where their sound feels both unbound and deeply rooted, ideal for those transitional, warm-up moments that shift a gathering into flow. This music makes you move like seaweed swaying beneath the surface in the dysphotic zone, where fleeting shafts of sunlight pierce the dark. Let this mix linger with you until the next edition of the Perpendicular Festival.

As the latest atmospheric river ravaged the state this week, some communities are left with more mess to clean up. Farming communities have been especially impacted by this year's wet weather -- from Planada in Merced County to Pajaro in Monterey County. And this will likely have a major impact on farmworkers.

During last week's atmospheric river storm, a levee broke on the Pajaro River, turning the town of Pajaro - inhabited mostly by Latino farmworkers - into a lake. As the LA Times reported, officials knew for decades that the levee was unstable, but delayed fixing it because of “benefit-cost ratios.” We'll talk with community representatives and water management experts about what Pajaro residents are facing now, and how decisions are made that determine which communities are protected. As climate change brings more extreme weather events and flooding, we discuss what changes need to be made to protect vulnerable communities through the coming decades.

As residents across California continue to cope with heavy wind and rain, perhaps no community has been hit harder than Pajaro, where thousands of residents have evacuated after a levee broke late last Friday, flooding the town. An unincorporated community in Monterey County, Pajaro is home to mainly low-income Latino farmworkers who provide a large portion of California-grown produce. They've lost not only their homes and vehicles to flooding, but also their livelihoods as farms across the county are forced to shut down.  Guest: Katherine Monahan, KQED Reporter For information and referrals to disaster relief organizations, residents of evacuated areas can call 211.
