ulieta finished polishing the shoes of school. True, she would have preferred to pink sneakers with stars, which had given her sponsor for the sixth birthday.
But Mom said those shoes were a pure lint and what they would think the Magi.
-By the way, Juliet took the mother, "you give it to me once and throw them all away.
For Juliet's mother did not like things worn or holes. Also disliked the dirty or messy. And the house was always clean, shiny and smelling of pine. It must be why Juliet's mother could not even hear of dogs.
-Dogs in this house, ever, "he said. Dogs get dirty, break everything and bring pests. So Juliet's house had no dogs, had turtle.
Not that Juliet does not have affection for the Pancha. But Pancha was half boring, and he spent his sleeping in his box.
What Juliet wanted, and loved him with all my heart, "was a dog. A dog that will lick your hand and wait for her when she came home from school. A dog will jump up to steal the cookies. So Julie had asked for a dog to the Kings. And the Kings were going to bring, because she always had brought what she asked.
And his mother? What would your mom's dog, he asked Juliet and her heart was tiquitiqui toc toc.
But then he thought his mom would not have to put up with, because you can not go neglecting the gifts of Kings.
- Juliet! Said mother-out garbage to the street and went to eat ...
A Juliet did not like garbage, but today I had to behave very well because
was a special day. So I grabbed trash bag, with its
shoes inside, clear, and, without protest, crossed the aisle and left on the sidewalk next to the tree.
While making efforts to sleep, Juliet thought she sometimes did not understand her mother. "It was, perhaps, that the Magi, so powerful and so rich, had crossed the world to go to bring gifts to a poor
baby crib or had? And those Kings were going to scare off their shoes worn? But hey, better to think of the dog, she would love pony and half white.
Juliet fell asleep.
30 The next morning, Julie woke up very early.
There, with his shiny shoes, was the dog.
- Did you see it baby? Said mother. A dog, like you wanted! Look: if you throw in here, wagging his tail and ears ... Are you happy?
No. Juliet was not happy. The dog that had brought the Kings was more boring than the Pancha. Because the Pancha, at least, was alive, though sometimes not much to show it.
This dog does not lick the hand of Juliet, nor steal cookies, or anything .... Are the Kings were wrong?
But when, just a little while, Juliet went to buy milk, did not think that the Kings are never wrong: by the tree, with one of his shoes between the teeth and the other between his legs, had a puppy ½ white pony.
The dog looked at Juliet and, without releasing your shoes, he wagged his tail. Julieta
then grabbed her up and ran home crying
- Mamaaaá! Mamaaaá! Kings really put me in a spade!
The mother stepped into the hallway and all he said was:
- Ay, my dear God!
But it seems that no one dared to despise the very gift made by Reyes, because after a while looking at her daughter and the dog, he said under his breath: "Come
just that this dog needs a bath of father and lord ...
