Cristmas Story 3:
Martín, an unemployed father of three children has been looking for a job for over a year with little success.
His situation is really desperate: he has no money to pay for his rent,
or his children`s school books and clothes. If they don`t go hungry
it`s thanks to some help from relatives.
One day,
Martín goes to the toilet at the railway station. He then notices a
briefcase propping against the wall. He picks it up and opens it. He
can`t believe his eyes: the briefcase contains a lot of money. At first
he thinks he is a lucky man. He thinks that all that money will solve
his problems but after a few minutes he is not so sure about it all.
There`s a big doubt in his head. Should he keep it? When he arrived home he decided to talk with her wife about what they should do:
Good evening family , how are you? I... I have to talk to you, nothing important.
Good evening family , how are you? I... I have to talk to you, nothing important.
He looks to her wife.
What is going on Martín?
I have just found this, what are we going to do?
Her wife can't believe it.
I... I don't know, well... I mean we can keep it, right? Martín we are going over a bad situation and that briefcase didn't have a name, so ... maybe it is a gift from who knows? A Christmas' gift! You decide Martín.
I think you are right, maybe somebody was very unselfish in this time of the year and he wanted to give happiness to someone and he did it. So let's celebrate!
