Pablo sent in this nice memory of a hot summer day. First the original Spanish he sent:
Un día muy caluroso de verano, mi pareja Tobías y yo habíamos ido a nadar. Era un día brilloso y corría una brisa agradable, afortunadamente. Al rato, luego de largas conversaciones, comenzamos a aburrirnos, entonces le pregunté a Tobías: -¿querés ir a nadar? El agua está excelente. Tobías negó con la cabeza, pues no quería mojarse sus shorts nuevos. A lo que yo le respndí: -Che, no es necesario que vayamos con ropa, es muy normal que los nenes chiquitos naden desnudos. Tobías inmediatamente se sacó toda su ropa y corrió desnudo hacia el río. Cuando Tobías llegó al río metió un pie primero y luego otro, hasta que metió su cuerpo entero. Estuvimos toda esa tarde divirtiéndonos hasta que bajó el sol y volvimos a casa.
And then the translation, thanks to Google Translate and some light editing:
One very hot summer day, my partner Tobias and I had gone to swim. It was a bright day and there was a pleasant breeze, fortunately. After a while, after long conversations, we began to get bored, so I asked Tobias, “Do you want to go swimming?” The water is excellent. Tobias shook his head, not wanting to get his new shorts wet. To which I replied: Che, we don’t need to go with clothes, it is very normal that small children swim nude. Tobias immediately took off all his clothes and ran naked towards the river. When he reached the river, he put one foot first and then another, until he put his entire body in. We spent the whole afternoon having fun until the sun went down and we went home.
Thanks for adding a multicultural flair to the site!
