The story is about a typical Colombian family who manages to survive in this society with all the troubles which it is filled. In the family they are seven: the mother, 2 boys, 3 girls and a dog. The 3 girls are Maria aurora, Rosina and Adriana Andrea. The oldest boy is called Roberto and the baby is called Jose Willington. The family considers the dog as a relative more, it’s called Happy.
Every day they are at an avenue hawking carnations where the traffic lights bring cars to a dead halt. The top seller is Adriana Andrea who moves swiftly among cars and traffic lights. I think, she had something inside her which makes attracts people´s attention. They are very happy. One day a couple French driving a car stares at Adriana Andrea and got captivated by her and decided take her with them. Days later they talked to her mother to adopt Adriana. Finally the Adriana’s mother accepted and they took Adriana with them. After she had gone her family missed her a lot and remembered all the things they did together before. Roberto, who tells the story, hopes to find her some day and live with her sister again, and protect her from anything which could take her far away again.
In the end they never found her. They will carry on hawking carnations at that avenue.
The story teaches us how difficult could be the life for the poor and even for everybody who manages to survive in a society as hard as Colombia. All in all we have to face this and keep working for a better Colombia.
