Read the following translation of an excerpt from a short story set in Galicia:
"For sixty years, Doña Mercedes watched the tide return to the rocky shores of her village. To her grandson, Thiago, the ocean was a grid of coordinates and potential yields, a resource to be charted and conquered with modern sonars and steel-hulled trawlers. But to Mercedes, the water was a living ledger of the family's history, holding both the memory of her husband’s lost vessel and the quiet rhythms that had sustained the community for generations. When Thiago proudly displayed his new digital maps, pointing to the areas he planned to harvest next, Mercedes simply touched the worn wood of the windowsill and remarked that some depths are not meant to be measured. Thiago sighed, seeing only the obstinacy of old age in her quiet resistance."
