was the second year in Granada Abdel spent with the family of Anne His two sons, Ramon and Mary six years from five, the same age as Abdel, had learned the previous summer to share toys with his new friend. At first there were many scratches, Ramon was somewhat jealous of the pampering and attention received Abdel, and leave him without playing with their toys and ignoring it completely. Abdel quickly found refuge in the kindness of Mary, a blonde girl with very pale skin who spent the whole afternoon playing tea, to shop, setting the table, with felt great. Next to it learned to swim in the pool of the house, Anne gave noodles to which they are caught and competed to see who was kicking the water faster.
Mary, meanwhile, learned not to need the latest model of Barbie to play, his friend / brother taught him how to make shadows on the wall to fly mounted on the brush used old Ana to sweep the porch of the house to run at high speed in a racing car mounted a chair made with the brush of the bathroom as a shifter and an ashtray was driving functions.
Ramon, by dint of seeing Mary and Abdel passed it well without his toys, he began to approach them to join the group and participate in all games. The Gormiti, the Iron Man, Spiderman and Superman were left in the closet to make way for the imagination.
Ana and her husband were very happy and when people commented on how good and detached they were to take every summer Abdel always answered the same: "He gives us much more than we give. "
Abdel, who never stopped being a child of five years away from his, I could not help fondly remember the screams of his brethren of the queues to enter the family shared bath, from contact with the desert sand on his feet of his father's scolding, and especially the hugs from his mother when lying all the brothers in the same room, hugged them one by one and gave them a kiss goodnight. Those moments made it very hard not to offend the hospitality of the family who had so warmly welcomed, allowed only mourn when he was alone in that big bed and looked out the window to the moon, who saw his family refugee camp in the desert.
had been in the teaching hospital to visit Jane, the woman who with her family to visit them every year in the refugee camp and everyone wanted a lot. Joan was recovering from hepatitis A that he had contracted on his last visit to the Sahara, where Abdel lived. They came each year to spend a month with them to bring the magic of music, puppets and humor of the clowns.
made a strong impression you see that woman I admired and who was accustomed to do with a big smile, lying in bed, with bad color and face with drooping eyes by the fatigue and illness. Jane, used to treat with children, then recovered and gave him her best smile and said:
- Neither had I known how big you've gotten!
Abdel smiled proudly, and very polite said
- Ana gives me great food. Eat meat or fish every day and eat all the fruit and vegetables to get bigger and stronger.
- course! You were lucky to find a family as well. I also give very good to eat here. Can not you smell?
The clinical nurses had begun to distribute lunch and when they entered the room, Jane, Ana took leave to leave to eat quietly.
The impact of heat on the street in contrast to the temperature of the hospital was awful. Left towards the underground parking The Cármenes and by the way, surprisingly, Abdel pulled the labor force stood Ana This puzzled, since Abdel was nothing capricious and not used to stand in the windows of the stores where they sold ice cream. But the child did not look at the delicious and refreshing iced chocolate which came out the eyes of Ramon and Maria, looking inside. Let go of his hand and I walk very quickly to the dismay of Anna who saw him entering the owner of the establishment embraced. When released, Abdel began to tighten in the stomach while the man with the mouth imitated the sound of farting and did great fanfare with which the child was dying of laughter. Ana smiled as he looked perplexed the scene. Abdel approached her while exclaiming
- clown is crazy! It's the crazy clown!
