Narrative is a literary style that describes perfectly this tales collection. This texts, written in prose, narrate a series of episodes that happen to one or more characters. They are explained by the author in first person, and seen from his particular point of view. The author appears directly involved in the stories that, although aren't real, are based on some of the author's personal experiences. What the stories have in common is a particular way of narrating and describing the author's feelings when facing the crude personal reality, something that at the end leaves the reader with a bittersweet smile.

The first lady opened her shop after Easter, and she used to put aluminium tables and chairs in front of her shop's door, occupying both her's and the next door's place of the street, but she had to pay a long tax at the town hall for doing that. The third one, who was known by being particularly nasty and unpleasant, didn't seem to agree with that. She said that the tables and chairs were an obstacle, so people couldn't easily enter her shop, and because of that, she lost some clients. So, she complained about that with the owner of the three commercial places and she also went to the town hall and whined a little more, which resulted in the authorities forcing the ice-cream shopper to put her chairs and tables only in her side of the street, without “invading” the next two sides, with which her possibilities of attracting people to buy her ice-creams, drinks, milkshakes, sitting by the fresh air of the street. In one hand, it was harmful for her business, but on the other hand, it was good for her, because she didn't have to put so much tables and chairs, which every day were fully occupied, and also, she didn't have to clean that much space of the iron floor of the artificial terrace. The other lady, the handerbarhsery's owner, who worked in the shop with her daughter (both of them were certainly beautiful, by the way), couldn't fulfill her purposes, because the cars used to park in front of her shop. Well, she could solve that problem buying two huge flowerpots and placing them in front of her door, having to pay an extra Municipal tax for doing so.
