"Hey, Tío!! You wanna see this animal I brought home??", Antonio asked Bruno.

"Oh! Uh, sure! What is it?", Bruno asked.

Bruno wasn't expecting this.

Antonio held a black cat and a pitch black crow. And Bruno was freaking out.

"AHH! Ay dios mio!! Alejarlo, alejarlo!! Please get that away from me!!", Bruno shouted in fear. He held up his hands fearfully and his whole body was shaking, shutting his eyes.

"Tio, what's wrong?", Antonio asked.

"Black cats and crows. Bad omens. Signs of bad luck. Sorry, I'm a very superstitious man. You gotta get used to it.", Bruno said, his eyes still shut.

Antonio frowned and shooed the animals away. Bruno felt the hug of Antonio wrap around him. He opened his eyes and smiled in compassion at his nephew's sudden action.

"Lo siento, Tío.", Antonio said.

Bruno sighed and smiled.

"Esta bien, Tonito."
