Neruda's piano
1. The story takes place in:
a) Winter
b) Spring
c) Summer
d) Autumn

2. The phrase that the father repeated to Naftali was:

a) “We will go to a concert soon”
b) “Someday we will have a piano”
Neftalí, distraught, ran a finger over the fogged glass and wrote the word “dad.”
The phrase the father repeated to Neftalí was “Someday we will have a piano.”
Neftalí's father was a train driver
Some businesses had hammers, boots, padlocks and giant saws hanging at the entrance of the stores because there were many
people in those parts who did not know how to read, that was how the businesses were identified.
The father wanted to have a piano to give his family a higher social category... “they have a piano”
The father's work: it made him absent for a long time, it did not allow him to handle the most practical matters of the home. His
mother had to take care of the household affairs.
The mother had to distribute pots, sinks, jugs, milk jugs and different pots throughout the house for each of the growing and
abundant leaks that appeared on the roof of the house without mercy.
The leaks created a beautiful scene, Naftalí clearly distinguished the clear sound of a glazed iron sink from the opaque and bitter
sound of a dented bucket or the light sing-song of a saucepan. It was vigorous music brought by the rain from the south, it was the
piano of Neruda's childhood.
