"The Rose Room" - Short Story About the Stockyards in Minnesota (In English and Spanish)

"The Rose Room" - Short Story About the Stockyards in Minnesota (In English and Spanish)
Chick Evens went to work for the stockyards one summer in 1966, near the town-let of South Saint Paul, the summer was extremely hot, and you could bake an egg on the sidewalks. His mother worked at Swift's Meats (in the meatpacking department), the company which he now came to be employed at, made a deep impression on Chick's mind and he never forgot the thoughts and experiences that came to him during those last months of that summer working at the stockyards inside a packing house (cutting up carcasses of hogs), and especially delivering animal waste to the Rose Room!
