Well, let me tell ya about this here card, the 7 de espadas, or Seven of Swords as them city folks call it. It ain’t a good card, not by a long shot.

It’s all about sneaky business, you see. Like when someone’s tryin’ to pull a fast one on ya, or hidin’ somethin’ they don’t want ya to know. Kinda like that time old man Johnson tried to sell me that skinny cow, sayin’ she was a prize winner. Hmph! I saw right through that, I did.
- It means watch your back, that’s what it means.
- Don’t trust everyone, even if they smile nice and sweet-talk ya.
- Keep your eyes peeled, and your wits about ya.
This card, it’s a warnin’. A warnin’ that someone might be lyin’ to ya, or stealin’ from ya, or just plain doin’ ya wrong. It ain’t always about big things, neither. Sometimes it’s just little lies, little sneaky things. But they add up, they do.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ everyone’s out to get ya. But this card, it’s tellin’ ya to be careful. Don’t be a fool, lettin’ people walk all over ya. Stand up for yourself, and don’t let nobody take advantage. You gotta be smart, you gotta be tough. This world, it ain’t for the faint of heart, that’s for sure.
Think of it like this, see. You got a hen house, right? And you got a fox sneakin’ around, tryin’ to get at your chickens. You gonna let him? No sir! You gonna chase him off, you gonna protect what’s yours. That’s what this card is tellin’ ya. Protect yourself, protect your stuff, protect your heart.
It ain’t always about other people, though. Sometimes, this card means you’re the one bein’ sneaky. Maybe you’re hidin’ somethin’, or tellin’ a little white lie. Maybe you’re tryin’ to get away with somethin’ you shouldn’t be doin’. Well, this card is tellin’ ya to stop it. It ain’t right, and it’ll come back to bite ya in the end.
I remember this one time, my neighbor’s boy, he snuck into my garden and stole a whole bunch of tomatoes. Thought he was bein’ clever, he did. But I caught him red-handed, and boy, did he get a whoopin’ from his mama. That’s what happens when you try to be sneaky. You get caught, and you pay the price.
So, what do you do when you see this card? Well, first thing you gotta do is take a good look around. See who’s tryin’ to fool ya, see who’s bein’ dishonest. And then, you gotta be smart. You gotta figure out how to protect yourself. Maybe you gotta confront them, maybe you gotta walk away. But whatever you do, don’t let them get away with it.
And remember this, too. Sometimes, the best way to deal with a sneaky person is to be sneaky right back. Not in a bad way, mind you. But in a way that protects yourself. You gotta be one step ahead, you gotta outsmart them. It’s like playin’ a game of chess, see. You gotta think ahead, you gotta anticipate their moves.
This here 7 de espadas, it ain’t a card you wanna see, that’s for sure. But it ain’t the end of the world, neither. It’s just a warnin’, a reminder to be careful, to be smart, to be tough. And if you do that, you’ll be alright. You’ll weather the storm, and you’ll come out stronger on the other side.
Now, some folks, they get all scared when they see this card. But me? I ain’t scared. I’ve seen it all, I have. And I know that as long as you keep your wits about ya, you can handle anything. So don’t be afraid. Just be prepared. That’s the key, you see. Be prepared.

And that’s all I gotta say about that there 7 de espadas. Just remember what I told ya, and you’ll be just fine. Now, go on and git, I got chores to do.
