Forbidden to get on the bus with that canvas!

     Dear Fran,

     my Fagin project is giving me a lot of satisfaction, but at the same time some troubles.

     Yesterday afternoon and despite the fact that five or six people were going to travel on the bus, the driver — as the captain of the ship — denied me entry because I was carrying a 89 x 116 cm canvas.

     It was the first time that this setback has happened to me, since on other occasions, even once I entered with a 130 cm canvas, I had not had to suffer this unpleasant situation.

     The driver did not know or did not want to tell me what the maximum measure was to be able to access the bus and he only repeated and repeated that the company's ‘normativa’ did not allow it. I told him that if the bus was full I understood that, but with five or six people I would go to the end of the vehicle, without bothering anyone, but no. The ‘normativa’ was him at that time and I couldn't get on the bus.

     What did I do? I let the impenetrable captain drive off with his boat, his bus, and boarded the next nº20 five minutes later, greeted this time by a pleasant smile from the new driver. There were no problems.

     Y. a.
