Hola:
Se trata de un un pasaje extraido de un libro de R.K. Narayan: "The vendor of sweets".
Gracias de antemano
Carmen
“It would actually be more economical to close down our business, but we cannot do it people would suffer; innocent office workers and students who depend upon us for their nourishment would be the real ones to suffer,’’ innocent office-workers, labourers and students who depend upon us for their nourishment would be the real ones to suffer,’ said the sait, feeling as if he were a benevolent angel CONFERRING BOONS ON HUMANITY. Our problems are numerous.’
He was excessively fond of the word “problem”. He had mentioned the word so often that Jagan felt constrained to ask, ‘What problems?’
