Yomaira`s tale

Three Christmas ago, I wanted to buy a jacket, so my mother gave me $1000.00 pesos and I decided to go shopping, I got a ride with my father to Duarte Street, so I saved the motoconcho`s money. When I arrived at first mall the jackets were not my size, but there I bought a present to my mother, enamels, a body lotion, many hairpins, etc. Later I went to another mall and I found a jacket exactly as I wanted but I thought that it was expensive, because I had spent the half of my money buying different things, the salesclerk asked me:” do you want to try in another jacket?”, of course I said and she showed me the ugliest one but I had to buy it because I needed a jacket.

When I had $50.00 pesos(the money to came back home) I decided to visit La Opera where I almost cried because I lost the ticket to pick up the bags that I had bought while I was seeing dresses, blouses and jeans without money to buy them. I was nervous and I spent my last $50.00 pesos buying two pairs of socks for my little brothers and when I was paying the socks I told to the cashier my problem and she told me: “you have to find your ticket to recover your bags”, and told her: “please open the bags because I know the things that I bought”.

One hour later I found my ticket in the floor under the dresses and I breathed again!

This was last day that I spent time looking clothes without money.
