but in 2012 when it was the collapse
financially that all the
bags of the world and all that had five
less than now I would have eight nine
years and I was moving the news
We were having lunch watching the
newscast and a type of tie appeared
peeled a journalist who always gives
bad news was the one that predicted the
of the tsunami and that an airplane fell and
that day he said last moment he
the stock market plummeted around the world and my
daughter looked at me like that I resumed game and
followed the type and the value went up
nominal of the bond for not being able to sustain
the debt obligations and my daughter I
I looked at the investment banking collapse
said the guy are committing suicide the
shareholders and I opened my big eyes
and also obviously you are not
what’s going on something serious and then
nin my daughter always asked me
what is the tsunami that on the plane that
it fell and it was easy to explain it from
tsunami at the epicenter of a thing in
the framework of that Filipino model is
simple
I wonder what is this that happened now
dad is serious and I realized that no
I had no idea how to explain
to a boy what was that a
earthquake is easy to apply but as
explains to a child the collapse of the system
Financial not you could explain
why is it intangible more than anything but
since I am a hardhead and someone
free and writer I also proposed
do it so I wrote a story a
children’s story and the next day
when we were looking back at the
newscast and I went back to ask what
I did was tell a story that I want
share with you
I say at that day digenin
there was once a very quiet town and
that there was a boy called pepe
the protagonist who lived in the house
further away from the village
one afternoon pp went for a walk and
He grabbed hold when he returned home
open a bottle of wine while
he was drinking the wine he discovered one thing that
nobody had ever discovered there was no
bars in the village was not a bar to
pp thought that a bar could open
make others happy by giving them to take
and he also thought he could
win some currency and he was happy
with the idea of opening a bar
that afternoon his friend moncho went through the
Pepe’s house and gave him a good name
for the bar and you know that when a
outdated idea has a name already
start to walk that idea then pp
made a list of needs to open
the first bar in town
lina looked at me with her eyes open
account was fine so far
Pepe realized that since buying
tables chairs glasses painting a palenque
for bar customers to put
their horses and they can enter to take and
He took out the accounts and all that is going to
cost about 10 thousand coins of course
pp did not have 10,000 currency because the
poor but during the night you
there was a way to get those 10
thousand coins p p cut thousand pieces of paper and
wrote the phrase on each piece of paper
soon pepe bar a thousand times
wrote that and the Sunday after
Mass went to the town square
dressed in his best suit and told
all the neighbors in the square dear
neighbors I’m going to open a bar in the
Outskirts of town
everyone looked at what a good idea
They said some pp felt very good
with everyone’s attention and then
he showed in a fan the 1,000 pieces of paper
trimmed and said this is important neither
I said I said nothing pepe
Each of these thousand pieces of paper costs
10 coins
the neighbors looked at him who bought me
a piece of paper is going to have to keep what
because in a month when I
abraham and bar I will pay 12 coins for
every piece of paper that you give me back
then there were whispers throughout the plaza
and moncho that the town fool
I ask
for pepe but it does not cost 10 coins each
slip because you’re going to give away
well two more coins and pp said is not
give away moncho is compensate I go to
compensate with two more coins to which
help me fulfill my dream that is
open a bar
then the mayor who was out there
approached and said it makes sense has
a lot of sense very well pp and ernesto was
rich and I understood business said to me
the idea seems very good to me and the priest
Ricardo taking out some coins from below
of his cassock he said is a very idea
cristian I want some of your
pieces of paper and everyone started buying
papelitos de pepe
in that simple way and in one
morning pp got the silver for
open your bar among all the neighbors that
they bought the 1,000 pieces of paper
I bought two said Savino that the
poor but optimistic I bought him 36
shouted quique that the greedy and
arronero pp went home with 10 thousand
coins in the backpack and he fell asleep
thinking of his dream open a bar
the next day will be Monday and pp
he traveled to the city and bought wood for
build a master a counter and
he bought paint returned to his house and he
put to work did not go through the square
of the town in the next four
weeks that is to say I told him neither na pp no
he learned of the disaster that was going to be assembled
because of your little papers in that
moment of the story I braked and I stayed
looking at my daughter to see if she was
understanding the story whenever
texting the metaphors with the boys
especially when they are complex ideas and
she told me dad
this has nothing to do with what
Mr. peeling said on TV but
is good then I followed compe
I told what happened in the town during
the first week is on Monday the square
It was full of people much more than one
normal monday
many neighbors had spent the night
whole cutting their own pieces of paper
because they had also discovered
they had projects that they could not meet
for lack of currency
some pieces of paper said shortly
horacio ice cream other paper
he said very soon carmen hairdressing
and there were even some written papers
by moncho with misspellings that
they said at the end of the month of trips to the
Moon
Suddenly the neighbors climbed to the
lampposts of the square so that the others
neighbors could buy those pieces of paper
they prepare themselves to the source for
exchange notes for coins on
Tuesday was even worse
and on Wednesday you could no longer walk
through the plaza del quilombo that was
the mayor had to put order and
enabled a closed place in the
municipality so that the neighbors
could meet to exchange
piece of paper without destroying the square
this little place was opened on
Thursday and was baptized with the name of
room of the slips and so it was that
on Friday everyone who had a
project that the
coins needed to carry it out
and they had gone to work hours
extra was looking for ice cream milk for his
pp ice cream shop was developing the
wood for the bar counter carmen
sharpened the scissors for his brand new
Hairdresser and Moncho had bought two
skinny horses to make trips to the
Moon
they were only in the room of the
papelitos a group of neighbors to whom
never in their lives had they ever thought
no interesting project
the only thing these neighbors had were
pieces of paper from other people
one of these neighbors Ramon complained in
aloud
Caramba said now I need currency to
I do not have cigars
days also my last coins for
a little piece of paper now I need to smoke
The same thing happens to me, said Luis.
go to the movies do not have a coin
the complaints were increasing until
that xavi was not cunning he raised his
little piece of paper and he said he had a boy inside
three weeks pp will pay you 12 coins
to the one who returns this piece of paper that I
I bought 10
I’m selling my paper right now for eight
coin
us the miracles deal done said
ernesto who was rich but what to do
even richer and disrespectful of the
the for eight coins the paper ramón
and Luis also sold his little papers
for less than 10 coins and while one
I would like to buy a cigar and the other one if
to the cinema the other neighbors saw that
that was a new way of doing
business
although never in their life would they have
an idea of truth occurred
some got on the other figures
they went up to the tables they started to
offer what they had even the priest
Ricardo came from the sad church said
friends the day that moncho put the
sell your paper I am a Christian
I bought him a few because he’s stupid
now moncholos sells to seven coins and
says he’s going to return 20 coins but it’s
silly and want to be trip to the moon and
Now I need coins to fix the
bell tower and nobody wants to buy me the
moncho paper
I’m sorry father Ricardo read all no
we can buy that move to the moon that
boy then the priest was
lounge with moncho paper
crestfallen and it was the first time in many
years that nobody was helping him
repair the church and so did the
first week
then the mirandin who told me ‘now
I think it starts to look like
who said the skinning of the TV and I
I say clear in the real world
the room of the papers is called the
stock exchange while the
slips of paper can have names
You can call bonuses in some countries
in other countries they are called obligations
the 12 coins that will pay pp when
the bar works or the 20 coins that
Moncho says he’s going to pay when he does
trips to the moon are called face value
of the bonus minamb euros and opened his eyes
great because he understood the girl eight
years
so I told him what happened
second week in the village I told him
that the house of pepe jano looks like a house
pepe’s house seems something else in the
dining room and a wooden bar the bathroom
it has become two bathrooms one for
ladies another for gentlemen the walls
they were half-painted in navy blue and
pp was very happy with the
progress of your bar
as he had not yet gone to the village pp
I was still
to see that the lives of their neighbors in a
quilombo of little papers that came and went
changing owner’s price even the
mayor after speaking with his
secretary decided to join the new
fashion
one Tuesday morning the mayor left
to the balcony with megaphone and said neighbors
the square was damaged after
fuss of the papers I need to raise
funds to fix the destruction of the
lamp to renew the source and to
buy me a motor car from this
now on sale 1,000 pieces of paper
officers Juan Carlos de la Pica are
Sabino asked nothing of currency said the
mayor my paper bet a horse
when the power take water when
lampposts give back light I have a
motor car I will return two horses
by paper the official pieces of paper
are on sale now run
the mayor’s papers are over
they sold in record time
everyone in the village gave their
horses to the mayor and from that day the
tasks began to be done on foot
meanwhile the exchange of
slips continued to rise and no longer
they reached for the pencils to write down
who owned that some
pieces of paper were very desired for example
pepe him working day and night
the concretion of his bar but to another
little piece of paper did not want us
for example those of moncho because his
artifact to make trips to the moon
at the moment it only consisted of two
horses and a car
nobody believed that that will start
take flight
ernesto the rich neighbor who had
bought many pieces of paper during the
first week
now wanted to get off the
monito paper and as well
I had pp papers he invented something
terrific what he baptized the bundles
of ernesto were closed packages with
100 pieces of paper of all colors by
example there were 10 pieces of paper from the bar of
pepe up 20 pieces of paper from the
ice cream shop by horacio the middle and 70
pieces of Moncho’s lunar project
down without anyone seeing
on Thursday of the second week the bundles
of Ernesto had great success among
the neighbors who were looking like crazy
pp papers or the mayor but the
Friday Quique discovered the trick and
He said care but careful the bundles of
ernesto sometimes come with pieces of paper
pp or the mayor at the top and
that’s fine but the bottom of the package
and a lot of moncho pieces of paper that
never in fucking life will you do any
trip to the moon
so before buying wads of
ernesto seek my advice
my rate for each tip is the currency
babe then the buyers of
papers always consulted here that
before buying ernesto bundles
ernesto quique who had been friends
for many years they stopped talking
forever
and so he spent the second week to that
height or na
I was almost an expert in this whole thing
I explained to him that in the real world
official papers of the mayor are
they call public debt securities
I explained that the bundles of Ernesto
they are called obligations of
debt while the house of quique the
where the neighbors go to
whether or not they rely on the underside of
moment they are called investment banking
then it contaminates you when you started
the third week in the village
some projects that were almost
finished and instead others were still in
diapers app just lacked nailing
the palenque so that the horses of the
neighbors
will be enough outside the bar now
got to beat milk and fruits for his
ice cream shop and he only had three
ice bars in town
On the other hand, Carmen had not yet
found a good place to install
your hairdresser
although you had dozens of scissors
sharp and what to say about poor guy
moncho his horses were every time
more skinny and sad although I do not know
fixed the day and night and it did not seem like
your device could fly in less than
a week the neighbors who had
monito de carmen’s papers were
restless and could no longer sell them
nobody until quique appeared with
a great idea
said quique hear those still
have papers of moncho not
worry I can sell them to franck
quique league for those pieces of paper and that
who asked sabino that he had many
moncho sticks very easy said
quique the one that has paperitos demonio me
pay two coins every night
from here to the end of the month and if I’m not
get to make trips to the moon
I pay the 20 coins promised by
moncho although moncho fail, they asked
everything, even if it failed, said tremendous quique
idea Savino said so we are not going to
feel much more tranquility and
we can buy more pieces of paper
fool of the town why I see myself is called
tranquility that said pique and many
neighbors began to pay quique two
coins per night to ensure the
moncho project in the middle of the
euphoria for these new ideas no one in
the town noticed that the mayor never
had fixed the streetlights or the
source of the square the mayor has already
fulfilled with a part only of the
promise had escaped the town with
a motor car was all there was
done on the only horses that are left
in the town they were those of moncho all
the others had been taken by him
mayor the secretary who had been
right hand of the mayor knew the
scam from the beginning decided to do
something so that nobody discovers the absence
of his boss and his idea was great he brought
to the room of the papers a blackboard and
he began to put a note from 1 to 10 a
each project to pepe’s bar put an 8 to
Carmen’s hairdresser put a 5 to
the ice cream shop duration 7 to the vehicle
to make trips to the moon demon him
put a 2 and doing the distracted to
the reforms of the mayor’s square
he put a 9 50 that mean these
numbers asked sabino and what the
Secretary said are the possibilities of
concretion of each project is for
help I do it for you and so
spent the third week
at this point they are explained inah in the
real world
the idea of quique to offer
tranquility are the papers of moncho
Fixed safer default
doubt and the big blackboard where the
secretary puts a note every
project in the real world is called
rating agencies that sometimes get
they mistaken inadvertently and sometimes they
wrong wanting then I wonder
if finally pp had managed to open his
bar because we were in the fourth
week and I told him the end of the
history
the end of the story says so when
the fourth week arrived and the
month pp got up very early and
He walked quietly to the town of
far away the façade of his bar with the
blaring neon sign
the bar was called the moon as it had
baptized moncho the first day
now all that was needed was for the
neighbors on horseback with the throats
dead of being pp toured the five
leagues to the village putting posters
in all the trees of the road bar the
Luna has opened every night every
poster that you put if you go far and you
he was proud looking at the poster
However, when he arrived at the plaza del
people did not understand anything of what
it was happening here he thought it would be
wrong way I was in a
different town it seemed that for that
people would have passed the war the
lampposts and the fountain of the square were
shattered
there was not a single horse in the streets
and the neighbors walked around
talking alone that happened here
asked Horacio when he saw it
there is pp said horacio crying there is pp all
the world crazed with the little papers
with mine with those of Carmen with the
yours with everyone suddenly started to see
more pieces of paper than coins and the mayor
he escaped from the village later in a
currency later disappear those
horses the vendors of bundles of the
unexpo broke the resellers of
tranquility of quique they could not
pay anyone escaped at night
We are in the ruin pp and your project
nothing asked pp and the hairdresser’s
carmen not mine was a failure said
prayer there are no horses to go to
look and not the city and the side will
melts and carmen has no customers do not see
that everyone is uprooting
the hairs just for what they want peru
it was pp he was silent he could not
believe what they were counting then
horacio said oh god, I need something
strong and Luis said I also have the
dry throat and sabino asked pp
open but open the bar that I wanted
open and others also approached
ask for the bar pepe discovered
then that without a horse, nobody was going to
to be able to never go to his home in the suburbs
of the town and also understood that
I could never return the 10 thousand
currencies to nobody and then lived in the
half of the square to moncho the two
moncho’s skinny horses were the
only animals that were left and
they were dragging three cars with two wheels
each in the form of train to those cars
many neighbors were going up and others
they made a long line waiting to
go up
Moncho asked pp where all of
these people and much said where will it be
to knock down the moon
Pepe saw a sign hanging in the fountain
broken that said moncho makes trips to the
moon exits a coin free return
but moncho asked pp you knew that
everyone was going to be without horses he did not say
moncho only is one thing I what
I know that people can go to a bar
horse but nobody can go back drunk
and riding a horse and like I do not take
I thought my business could be
take them and bring them from the moon
then pepe hug moncho climbed
the first car and yelled let’s all to
the moon drinks for free the first night
and all the people rose and applauded and
ná even gladly applauded the end
of history
and then I told my daughter that
be careful because in the real world
the stories of the pepes and try
open bars or the stories of the
Monchos who want to travel to the
moon and nobody understands them
they are almost always projects that do not usually
have a happy ending like in the stories
children because in the middle they appear
kikes appear mayors appear ernesto
if secretaries and always throw everything to
to lose
but when any of these projects and
works
I told my daughter to finish when
these projects work when something
magical happens and they work they are called
dream and are usually wonderful
[Applause]
thank you very much
