Relata la historia de un pianista con poco \u00e9xito, que a fin de completar su magro salario se emplea como vendedor de una casa comercial de Montevideo.<br>\u200bDejemos que el propio personaje de don Felisberto nos lo cuente:<br>\u200b\u201cDesde hac\u00eda alg\u00fan tiempo ya no ten\u00eda esa preocupaci\u00f3n: alcanc\u00e9 a entrar en una gran casa de medias para mujer. Hab\u00eda pensado que las medias eran m\u00e1s necesarias que los conciertos y que ser\u00eda m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil colocarlas. Un amigo m\u00edo le dijo al gerente que yo ten\u00eda muchas relaciones femeninas, porque era concertista de piano y hab\u00eda recorrido muchas ciudades: entonces, podr\u00eda aprovechar la influencia de los conciertos para colocar medias.<br>\u200b\u201cEl gerente hab\u00eda torcido el gesto; pero acept\u00f3, no s\u00f3lo por la influencia de mi amigo, sino porque yo hab\u00eda sacado el segundo premio en las leyendas de propaganda para esas medias. Su marca era \u201cIlusi\u00f3n\u201d. Y mi frase hab\u00eda sido: \u201c\u00bfQui\u00e9n no acaricia, hoy, una media Ilusi\u00f3n?\u201d. Pero vender medias tambi\u00e9n me resultaba muy dif\u00edcil y esperaba que de un momento a otro me llamaran de la casa central y me suprimieran el vi\u00e1tico\u201d.<br>\u200bNuestro protagonista hace grandes esfuerzos, pero no logra colocar las medias en una cantidad razonable.<br>\u200bCierta vez, acude a una cafeter\u00eda y se pone a jugar con un ni\u00f1o que trae un chocolat\u00edn en la mano. Se cubre con las manos la cara y empieza a hacer como que llora, mientras le pide al ni\u00f1o que le d\u00e9 su dulce. El infante cae, le otorga el chocolate y \u00e9l se lo devuelve con una sonrisa.<br>\u200bPero se da cuenta que al poner las manos en la cara verdaderamente le hab\u00edan salido l\u00e1grimas. Lo ensaya de nuevo momentos despu\u00e9s, ya a solas, y nuevamente logra llorar.<br>\u200bUn d\u00eda, llega a una tienda y se pone a llorar, con lo que consigue que varias damas compadecidas le compren una buena cantidad de medias. El buen resultado lo hace que repita la trampa en m\u00e1s oportunidades, y se vuelve un vendedor exitoso.<br>\u200b\u201cPronto se supo que a m\u00ed me ven\u00eda \u2018aquello\u2019 que al principio era como un recuerdo. Yo llor\u00e9 en otras tiendas y vend\u00ed m\u00e1s medias que de costumbre. Cuando ya hab\u00eda llorado en varias ciudades mis ventas eran como las de cualquier otro vendedor.<br>\u200b\u201cUna vez me llamaron de la casa central -yo ya hab\u00eda llorado por todo el norte de aquel pa\u00eds- esperaba turno para hablar con el gerente y o\u00ed desde la habitaci\u00f3n pr\u00f3xima lo que dec\u00eda otro corredor:<br>\u200b\u201c\u2014Yo hago todo lo que puedo; \u00a1pero no me voy a poner a llorar para que me compren!<br>\u200b\u201cY la voz enferma del gerente le respondi\u00f3:<br>\u200b\u201c\u2014Hay que hacer cualquier cosa; y tambi\u00e9n llorarles\u2026<br>\u200b\u201cEl corredor interrumpi\u00f3:<br>\u200b\u201c\u2014\u00a1Pero a m\u00ed no me salen l\u00e1grimas!<br>\u200b\u201cY despu\u00e9s de un silencio, el gerente:<br>\u200b\u201c\u2014\u00bfC\u00f3mo, y qui\u00e9n le ha dicho?<br>\u200b\u201c\u2014\u00a1S\u00ed! Hay uno que llora a chorros\u2026\u201d<br>\u200bPueden leer el cuento completo en Internet, y conocer\u00e1n el desenlace de la historia.<br>\u200bPero con lo que s\u00ed nos quedamos, es que llorar puede ser una buena trampa para conseguir la compasi\u00f3n de la gente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>sglevet@gmail.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sergio Gonz\u00e1lez Levet Sin tacto Hay un cuento de uno de los m\u00e1s grandes escritores de Uruguay, Felisberto Hern\u00e1ndez (1902-1964), que se llama \u201cEl cocodrilo\u201d.
