The Immigrants #4

Grandpa went home knowing that he had to tell his three little girls that
Grandma went to heaven and was not going to come back. It was the hardest thing he ever had to do in his life.

He had to work, and he would give his little girls monies to go out there and buy some groceries to eat, but the little girls were too small, and instead would buy candy and other items that were not considered a balanced meal. So, one day he told his little girls that he would have to find a lady that would take care of them and watch over them, because they were in need of a lady to watch over them. So he did. He married this lady who was previously married and was divorced. The lady had a daughter and she was older than his daughters. At first it was not so bad, but as time went by
the results and her (the lady) personality started to come out, and it was not a good thing. The little girls were not happy with this lady. The lady would physically hurt them, and made them do other things that were not appropriate for them to do, while her daughter was living a prince kind of life in there. She treated the girls like orphans and verbally abused them, and made them do chores that were not appropriate for their age. Grandpa had no idea what was going on. The lady would hide the flour tortillas from them, and the little girls were always hungry, and couldn't find them. One day, the two little girls came from school and they wanted to eat some thing, and so they both went on a search at home,
they looked everywhere for the flour tortillas, and they found them, they were in a box under the bed. The box had a key latch, but there was a
small crack where you can fit a small hand, and my mother who was the middle child, suggested to the smaller child to place her little hand inside the box and try to reach down to get the flour tortillas, which she did. She was successful. She took one flour tortilla for her and one for my mother, they were in heaven, they ate their tortilla and that satisfied their hunger. However, when stepmother arrived, and she was ready to give everyone dinner, she counted the flour tortillas and found out that there was a couple of flour tortillas missing, she was very upset.

To be continued.
