On a very hot day, Miss Marta Gaitan Barberio and her friend Mercedes Arana Calderon decided, after a long trip by train, to go home by cab. The taxi was an old model and rather badly kept up; the body was all beat up and held together with iron wire.
The driver of the completely demolished vehicle wouldn`t let the ladies put their luggage in the trunk because it was already filled with six packages of sausages, barbecued ham, and three cartons of beer.
He wouldn`t let them put their belongings on the front seat either, because he didn`t want it ruined. Once they got home, Marta and Mercedes had to ask a passerby to help them squeeze out of the car.
