Fabián es un chico pequeño de Paraguay, un país de América Latina. Vive en un barrio pobre de los alrededores de Asunción que se llama Remansito. La vida es muy dura en Remansito, con enfermedades infantiles que matan a menudo a muchos niños y muy poco dinero para sobrevivir. Sin embargo, el Brutito, como le llama su tío Alán, ve el mundo con ojos muy felices. Ama a sus padres, sus abuelitos, sus primos, su tío Alán y su tía Lourdes. Le gusta pescar y cantar con su Papá, dibujar para su Mamá y cocinar con su abuelita. Tiene miedo de las vacas y le gusta el fútbol.
Su historia es universal y pudiera ser la de todos los niños de los barrios pobres del Paraguay.
Fabian is a little boy from Paraguay in Latin America. He lives in a very poor neighborhood located in the suburbs of Asuncion, the name of which is Remansito. Life is tough in Remansito; infant illnesses kill many children, and there is barely enough money for people to survive.
Nevertheless, Little Rascal, as his uncle Alan likes to call him, sees the world with very happy eyes. He loves his parents, his grandparents, his cousins, his uncle Alan, and his aunt Lourdes. He likes to fish and sing with his Dad, draw for his Mom and cook with his Grandma. He is afraid of cows and he loves soccer.
His story is universal; it could be the story of each and any little child
of poor neighborhoods in Paraguay.
