At the intersection of Hill Avenue and Paseo de la Reforma has stopped a minibus, which runs with few passengers. There is a long queue of people slowly begin to rise. I also incorporated the moving vehicle. Soon the bus was full and soon filled the hall with people standing. But the driver remains impassive and decide not to advance, while his assistant calls out to those who are passing on the sidewalk: - Metro "Auditorium!
comes an old lady, old kilos, which carries a pair of bulky bags, and asks:
- Will all Reform? Metro
-Up "Auditorium", ma'am. If you want to help you with your bags ...
"Thank you, young man. A dropper
more passengers are arriving. The driver, about 30 years and a scruffy beard, he tells those who are standing:
- will not blister, if you cuddle up and leave more to back up the passage!
is noon and the bus is burst. The heat and air locked unbearable. Someone shouts:
- let's go now, driver!
- Who said that?! "Driver turns in a menacing tone.
- For us, we feed you, dude! "Replied a tall, robust and of the same age, sitting in the front seat.
The driver gets angry and gets flushed with that comment. Then asks his assistant changed:
- What do we do?
-friend, no way, and I scrubbed, better go! "He said resignedly his friend.
finally start the rickety bus, rattling everywhere. In the front seat listening to this conversation of a young lady - very made-up face-to her friend:
"I tell my daughter, what do you bring the Three Kings?
"I said, a doll" Barbie ", but mounted on a motorcycle and a pink suit.
"I say unto you, and why it has to be to force a" Barbie "? There are many other very nice dolls.
"I says, what's up, Mommy, is that" Barbie "is a lot like you, is very pretty. And then gives me a hug.
"And then I think, ordered kid, and he gave me where it hurts most, in the vanity, how can I deny that gift?
finally arrived at the bus stop Chapultepec, opposite the museum Anthropology. Contemplate the sculptures of Jorge Marin with winged figures and their curious angels. The friend says:
"I do not want to go from here, but I take a picture, with those golden wings in the background. Before them, a woman is old enough, that have been in a wheelchair, and with a relative difficulty of climbs to the concrete block, just off the wings. Stands and looks at the camera: "See Mom
, but he smiles and stretches his arms, like you're flying! Mrs. due
, joking and pleased.
road and I am behind the Museum of Contemporary Art. There is a man who sells puppets "El Chavo del Ocho" "The Chilindrina", "El Quico" ... I put in a squatting position to look at them closely and playing with them.
"Do not look to move to" Chavo "must use his thumb back and that is a natural shift. Look, just, like my child. I see your child, about four years, handled with particular skill at "La Chilindrina." Several passersby stop, fun, to gauge the ability of the child.
"Those are indeed useful toys that make children more" sharp. " And unlike those who sell now. "I said the Lord to ensure sale.
buy a couple of puppets. Then I headed for another post and watch this scene:
"I want a soccer ball for my kid. How do I get it? "Says a parent.
"That he is worth 200 pesos. "Says the seller.
"Make it 150. -Buyer responds with agility.
"Okay, but" there dies. " Duda
dad and says: "I think
still expensive. You better look elsewhere-end.
forwards a few steps forward. The seller then yells, "I leave
120, but that was it.
- You go! "Replied the clever buyer happy.
I keep going through the posts. The day is clear and the sun shines, but an air blowing cold. I remember my uncle who is completely bald, he asked me a gift a wool cap, which at night is placed in the head, to sleep and not go cold or cold.
- Does wool hats, but those that are nice and warm? I ask a lady apiñonada and middle-aged.
"Well there are some that I have taken my parents and sleep very comfortable. Just note: my dad passes of 92 and my mommy and 90 years old. We live by the direction of Ajusco and makes a cold "stripping." Thank God I have always been provided with life and health for many years!
- How wonderful to have a parent as older and that good health! "He said, adding:" Well, please give me coffee that cap.
Along with this position, there is another that sells dolls with shirts and hats of different football teams. There comes a young, 31, accompanied by his wife, and asks:
- Do you have a doll wearing the shirt of the Pumas?
"Sure," replies the salesman is the best selling. And gives it away.
"Well, this is for Tony, and Poncho, what doll you bought? - Said turning to her husband.
"One of Atlante. "He replied without hesitation.
-Ora themselves hard put to me, "says the seller-because of those rarely sell. But wait, I will look into the cases that I have behind the store. Soon returns and says:
- What luck he had! Here is the last one I had. And how is that going to Atlanta?
"says my child-safe that answered the lady" to love a team have to suffer. "
"Then your child does know football, I also go to Atlanta! He smiles and shows his rotten teeth.
Time passes and continues to reach more people. Vendors are missing hands to serve as many customers. Others scream louder voice because their merchandise is not requested.
Behind me I hear the conversation of marriage:
- What are you going to want for Christmas present? The wife asks her husband.
"This year, for me nothing. As are many of the family, prefer that all have good toys.
Amid the crush appears smaller than the makeover and the character of "Tinker Bell" from Walt Disney. Her mother says to another friend:
"I said I wanted this for Christmas present. But after a while, I know I'm going to order something else. So I decided to buy a surprise gift.
Finally, I finish my shopping and I go back to the bus stop. Make a long row parents that they have in stock many gifts for their children.
do I admire the generosity of Mexican parents, making many sacrifices and personal sacrifices, often see this show of love and affection to their children! Particularly on the feast of the Three Kings, in which, besides being traditionally great hope for all children, no doubt, plus links and close ties of affection between family members and live with joy this holiday Christian.
