The Immigrants #4


Grandpa was not aware of the things that were happening between the daughters and the stepmother. The stepmother would get very angry when her flour tortillas were missing.
One day, great grandpa got on his white horse and traveled to go see his son and his family. He saw that his son needed some help with his daughters, so he decided to help with one of them, and that was the five year old, my mother, the middle child. He took her and placed her on his horse, and away they went to his home and his family. Grandpa favored my mother and adviced everyone in the household to guard her and watch over her, but there shall be no spanking or harsh words to that little girl or else, they would face the consequences from him. My mother was not a mischevious young lady, she was pretty much curious about things and how they worked. She spent her days watching and doing housework, and learning from all those people in the household. One day, she was told to watch the chickens, and to bring all the eggs. So, she went to where the chickens were and there the eggs were, lots of eggs. Her curiousity was how did the chickens lay eggs, she thought the eggs came from the chicken's peak, so she waited to see and watched for a while until she could see results, to her surprise, it came from the other end. Later, I will continue my story, I must get to work. Have a great day,
