creative way)

This is a story about a man and his family

who suffered in extreme poverty. Before
Mario met his wife he was involve in a
dirty work “stealing” until Gloria became
his wife, he changed but God tested his
faith…

When he took his daughter for a walk,

they passed a grocery store that sold
delicious apple, his daughter want him to
buy one, but he couldn’t afford to buy,
because he has no money. When his
daughter felt ill and didn’t eat anything,
Mario decided to steal apple for her
starving and ill daughter, and because of
that he lost his job…

One day he arrived home. Gloria slips her

finger to take some money to buy Tita a
biscuit, but Mario was annoyed and
moved away from his wife. He said that
he has no money because he lost his job
because he steals and his last money was
spent for a woman. Then they began to
quarrel…

Mario told her wife that he had found a

new job, and he is going to meet a friend.
Gloria then became glad after hearing it,
not until Pablo showed up. Gloria hated
Pablo because of his dirty works. She
believed that Mario has changed and will
not go with Pablo to do illegal things, but
she was wrong because Mario already
made his decision to leave with Pablo…

Gloria tries to convince Mario not to go,

and she remind him about God, but Mario
never listens to her. He told her to take
care of herself and that he will be home
safely. Gloria was then left crying with
her daughter.
