Forgotten Moments In History

Forgotten Moments In History

As it is not widely known I feel compelled to report to Cubans everywhere that back at an earlier age Fidel could talk and was a more intimidating figure than currently in his stroke muted state. But this is widely known and not the topic of today’s discovery. Only now has it been determined that Raul developed an uncontrollable stammer whenever in the presence of his older brother. His stuttering really bugged Fidel as well - it has been established.

In fact, on one occasion when the two brothers strolled down a street in Havana just after taking over from Batista, Fidel was marveling at how communism would soon pave the streets with gold. But Raul, not being a philosopher or a great speaker, still wanted to converse with big brother and make some small talk - even with his speech impediment. “Hhh Hey hey Fi Fi Fi Fa da del…da da did ya ya ya you sa sa sa se see tha tha tha that ma ma ma Mercedes Benz wa wa wa with that ha the di di diplomatic plates?” Of course by this time the limo had turned the corner and disappeared from view. “NO!” an annoyed Fidel growled. But Raul refused to give up bonding with his brother and said, “Hhh Hey hey Fi Fi Fi Fa da del…da da did ya ya ya you sa sa sa se see tha tha tha that bi bi big ba beautiful ba ba blond wi with that ha the bi big ba ba ba ba ba breast?” Again the chica had stepped into a building out of sight. Again Fidel snapped, “No!” After walking a bit more Raul says “Hhh Hey hey Fi Fi Fi Fa da del…da da did ya ya ya you sa sa sa se see tha tha tha…” But an annoyed Fidel interrupts and screams, “YES!” So Raul says, “Wha wha wha’d ya step in it for?”

This moment in forgotten history has been brought to you by Tomas Estrada-Palma!
