Taken from El Jarama by Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio
— Sí que sí; un elemento de cuidado — añadió el alcarreño —. Pues ya les sale bien caro a los madrileños el poquito respeto que le tienen. Lo que les pasa es que aprenden a nadar en las piscinas, y luego se vienen al Jarama a practicarlo; pues nada, lo ven tan somero, lo ven que no los cubre ni la mitad que una piscina, y se confían y se creen que todo el monte es orégano.
— ¡Diferencia con una piscina! — dijo Amalio —. ¡Ojo, que hay curvas! ¡Adónde va a parar! Aguas estas, que tienen siete capas, con todos sus recovecos y sus dobleces y sus entretelas. Como una cosa viva; conmás engaños que el jopo de una zorra y más percersidades que si fuesen manojos de culebras, en vez de ser agua, lo que vienen corriendo por el lecho. Que no es persona este río. No es persona ninguna de fiar. Con una cantidad de hipocresía, que le tiembla el misterio — se reía.
“Oh absolutely; an element of caution,” added the man from Alcarría. “Well, plenty of those Madrid folk have already paid a big enough price for their lack of respect for it. The thing is, they learn how to swim in a swimming pool, and then come here to take on the Jarama and, well, there we have it. They see how shallow it is, not half as deep as a swimming pool, and they get cocky, thinking it’ll all just be plain sailing.”
“Ha! Some swimming pool!” said Amalio. “I mean, look out for all those bends, right?! Where’s it gonna stop?! There’s more to these waters than meets the eye after all, with all its curves and folds, its twists and turns. It’s like a living thing, with more tricks than a vixen’s tail and more perils than if it were flowing with snakes instead of water. But living or not, this river is by no means human. You just can’t trust it like you can a person. With a good dash of hypocrisy, it’s rippling with mystery,” he laughed.
