Golden shoes

The Golden Shoes
------------------
By Pedro (www.sjlibrary.org)

"The other day, I was thinking about my mother. I haven’t spoken to her in a longtime. When I was talking to someone about a pair of shoes, it reminded me of the time when I was nine years old. I told her that my friends at school were making fun of her because of the holes in her shoes. I asked her why she hadn’t bought any new shoes. Her response to me was she would buy a pair of shoes for us instead of herself. I promised her one day when I would be older that I would buy her a pair of golden shoes that would never get holes".


Si el otro día me sentía como Dorothy con aquellos zapatos rojos tomados de la malograda bruja del Este que le permitieron recorrer el camino amarillo hasta la ciudad Esmeralda en busca del mago de Oz y regresar a casa tras derrotar a la malvada Bruja del Este rescatándo así a su perrito Totó, hoy me siento un poco Cenicienta con sus zapatos dorados. He pasado de sentirme abandonada, miserable y triste a sentirme una princesa mimada. Ahora sólo espero que este sueño no acabe a las 12 de la noche (y mucho menos ir perdiendo zapatos por ahí ;) ).
