Post 4

 I thought for many years that this photograph was lost. Maybe that is why I have a lot of affection of this photo. I took this photograph around 2005. I was four years old. I was walking, disguised as Batman, with my mother to go buy something, when a man stopped us. He had a horse. He asked us if we wanted to take a photo. My mom asked how much it cost. He told her that a thousand pesos.

“Do you deliver it immediately?”

“No”, said the man, “I deliver it to your home”

 My mom thought it was a scam and she refused. Then I started crying in such a way that my mother agreed. So, I took the photo mounted on the horse, and I went to the place happy.

A week passed, and my mother thought that the thousand pesos had been lost already. But somebody knocked the door. Was the man on the horse, and in his hand he carried my photo. 

Then magically the photo was lost. I do not know how. But my mom always remembered the photo and she said it was very pretty. I even came to think that the photograph was from her imagination or something like that: time passed, and it did not appear. But one day I found a photo album that belonged to my uncle. And I opened it out of pure curiosity. Then I found it. There was the photo, it was real, and my uncle had it.
