EL DINOSAURIO
Augusto Monterroso

Cuando despertó, el dinosaurio todavía estaba allí.


..........

"The Dinosaur", by Agusto Monterroso, is wrongly considered the shorttest story in spanish language. It has only one sentence with seven words (nine if we consider the two from the title). 
Augusto Monterroso is one of the best short stories authors. Humour and irony are usual in his stories. He said "The Dinosaur" can be read and understood from many points of views. 
In 2000 he won the Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras Prize as recognition for his literary work.
