Jose took me in his hand and indicated to my father that we could have some dinner. I noticed that my father was a bit puzzled and deduced that that part of the session was not his idea (which meant that the cruel game earlier had been). But he immediately left for the kitchen and Jose followed him, with me in his huge fist. He told my father to eat unceremoniously, right there in the kitchen. He was so frank and folksy that all his suggestions seemed totally natural and inviting to follow without complaint.
My father prepared some sandwiches and they both sat down at the large kitchen table. Jose left me on it and they began to eat. They also began to drink a few glasses of wine that, as in previous days, Jose had brought. At first they ignored me, although my father looked at me from time to time, as if not knowing what to do with me. At Jose's express instruction, he had not prepared anything for me. I stood there on the table, shaking like a leaf, watching in fascination as those colossal mouths, whose teeth could effortlessly tear my body in two, devoured the food. At last, Jose spoke, curiously with his mouth full:
-Well, we are rude -he said in a mocking tone-. You'll have to eat something too, won't you? -he said, addressing me.
And at that moment he spat the chewed dough he had in his mouth onto the table. I felt a tremendous revulsion.
-Come on, insect -said Jose-. That's your food. Eat! If you don't finish it all, there will be consequences -he said intimidatingly when he saw that I didn't move.
I approached the filthy mass with infinite disgust, knelt down and put a piece in my mouth. I felt like I was going to vomit. However, I was too afraid to disobey, so, holding back tears, I continued to eat. The giants watched me with hilarity.
