In the mountains

-by Maria de la Luz Hernandez Ochoa

Gathered as usual, arranging backpacks, so that nothing is missing! said Joaco, and suddenly a little boy approached them, with an excited look on his face, and asked them: "Are you going to the mountain?

I can guide you, he tells them - they are surprised to see his feet, barefoot.

But how? Is this how you intend to guide us? Lorenzo Mariano immediately replies, wait, and from inside his clothes he pulls out a pair of battered sandals, and says, "Ready," with a big smile on his face.

Upstairs we will breathe the freshest mountain air, and tomorrow we might even be able to taste the rich snow, which looks like ice cream from Doña Tencha's shop, that ice cream is on me.

That lesson was engraved in the hearts of the mountaineers, because of the dedication and love that Lorenzo Mariano's face reflected.

They learned that life betrays so much happiness, that you only need to be happy and let them make you happy.

Would you like an ice cream, like Lorenzo Mariano's, it's on me.
