Parable by Jorge Bucay: the Children were alone...

Mother left early in the morning and left the kids in the care of a girl of eighteen, she was sometimes invited to a few hours for a small fee.

Since then, as died their father fell on hard times. You could lose your job if you stay home every time grandmother can't babysit, get sick or leave town.

Marina after lunch, put the children to bed. And then she called her boyfriend and invited on a walk in my new car. The girl especially didn't hesitate. In the end, children don't usually Wake up before five o'clock.

Hearing the beep of the machine, she took her purse and phone was disconnected. She prudently locked the door to the room and put it in my purse. She didn't want to Wake up, Pancho came down her stairs. He was just six years old, he could gape to stumble and hurt themselves. Besides, she thought, how to explain to a mother that her child is not found?

What was it? Short in running or enabled, the lamps in the hall... taking off from the fireplace spark? But it so happened that the curtains caught fire, and the fire quickly got to the wooden stairs leading to the bedroom.

The smoke seeped through the door, the baby coughed and woke up. Without hesitation, poncho jumped out of bed and tried to open the door. Pressed on the latch, but couldn't.

If he did, then he and his baby brother in a few minutes would have perished in the roaring flames.

Pancho cried, called the nurse, but nobody answered his cries for help. Then he ran to the phone to dial his mother, but he was disabled.

Pancho realized that now he must find a way to save himself and his brother. He tried to open the window, beyond which was a ledge, but his small hands was not under force to open the valve. But even if he did, he would have to overcome the wire protective grille, which was established by his parents.

 



Anxiety and anger mothers ALWAYS take power from the baby!

Each child will come in due time

When firefighters extinguished the fire, it was all about one thing:
— How could such a small child to smash the window and break the bars of the hanger?
— As he managed to put the baby in the backpack?
— How did he get past the cornice with such a burden and go down the tree?
— How they managed to escape?
The old chief of the fire brigade, a wise and respected man, answered them:
— Panchito was the only one... there was no one to tell him that he can't.published
