THE SADNESS IN THE CASTLE, THE SPIRIT IN THE STREETS:

In 1810, at the south of the Montreal country there was a castle where lived a couple that were waiting for the birth of a beautiful girl. All the people at the country where so exited the day when the Little girl was born. But, after the birth of this Little baby her mom died.

The father of the Little baby was so worry and sad because of the news about the death of his wife. So he decided he will not be the same boy he was before, he knew that he would change totally his live. The father was in love of that Little and beautiful girl who had honey eyes, Brown hair and soft and White skin as the snow of Winter time. Every time he see her, he remembered the beautiful smile and eyes of her mom. One day he decide top ut her the same name of the mother “Victoria”.

Some years later, Victoria was not a baby, she was a girl and she was more and more sad every year she passed without her mom.

All the people of the country began to know that the dad of Victoria was so quiet and jealous because of the death of his wife. The por people went to the castle to ask hims for mony and he instead of give them, he ask them not to go again to the castle, because he would “NEVER” give them money. He not only was jealous with the por people, also he ordered Victoria to never help them and never give them money, because that makes that he remember his wife.

One morning Victoria’s father walked up and saw that his daughter wasn’t in her bed, so he sent many tropos to look for her all around the country. Finally the tropos of guards find her in a poor place helping poor people and giving them money. Her father remember his wife and he got sad.

When they went to the castle he was extremely angry and sad at the same time, so he enclosed his daughter in a dark room for all the rest of the day. He thought this was the better way to teach his daughter that it was not well to help por people. But he was wrong, she thought and was more convinced that she must help por people even if her father was not in agree with her.

Next day she went again to another place were was full of poor people, and she will open a new center of help for poor people. But, a guard shoot her because her father give order to shoot her if anybody find or see her helping por people.

Now some people see the spirit of Victoria, walking every night through the alone streets of the poor places, throwing money and crying for her mother.
