芒果街上的小屋男孩和女孩

男孩和女孩

　　男孩和女孩生活在不同的世界。男孩在他们的天地里，我们在我们的天地里。比如我的弟弟们。在家里，他们有很多话跟我和蕾妮说。可是到了外面，他们就不能被人家看见和女孩说话。卡洛斯和奇奇是彼此最要好的朋友……不是我们的。

　　蕾妮还很小，做不了我的朋友。她只是我的妹妹，这不是我的错。你不能挑选妹妹，你只是就那么得到了她们，某些时候她们就像蕾妮一样到来。

　　她不能去和法加斯家的孩子们玩，要不然，她会变得和他们一样。既然她跟在我后面来了，她就是我的责任。

　　有一天，我会有一个我自己的、最要好的朋友。一个我可以向她吐露秘密的朋友。一个不用我解释就能听懂我的笑话的朋友。在那之前，我将一直是一个红色气球，一个被泊住的气球。

　　The boys and the girls live in separate worlds. The boys in their universe and we in ours. My brothers for example. They've got plenty to say to me and Nenny ihe house. But outside they 't be seen talking to girls. Carlos and Kiki are each other's best friend……not ours.

　　Nenny is too young to be my friend. She's just my sister and that was not my fault. You don't pick your sisters, you just get them and sometimes they e like Nenny.

　　She 't play with those Vargas kids or she'll turn out just like them. And since she es right after me, she is my responsibility.

　　Someday I will have a best friend all my own. One I tell my secrets to. One who will uand my jokes without my having to explain them. Until then I am a red balloon, a ballooo an anchor.
