"My name is Rafael Alvarez." "I'm a commercial pilot and I live in Miami." "This is Elena, my wife." "Isn't she pretty?" "She's the most beautiful Mexican woman in Miami..." "The magic city!" "The sun capital of the world." "Both Elena and I lead very busy lives." "She's an executive at a very important bank." "But her true love, not counting our son and me... is art!" "Being a pilot, I spend more time in the air than on the ground." "This is our son, Miguelito." "He is our world!" "He deserves that we spend more time with him." "If I had only known..." "This little American boy is my pride and joy." "My reason for living!" "I was born in Cuba, but was raised here in Miami." "Elena came from Mexico to study at the university and we met there." "We are a very happy family." "Our problem is that we work too much and we don 't give our son what he wants and needs the most... that we spend more time with him." "Honey, I told you to speak to the boy in Spanish." "You're rig ht, love." "I'm sorry." " I have to go." " Good luck, love." "Have a n ice day." "I'll be seeing you." " Have a nice day." " Bye, daddy." "You have to drink your orange juice and eat your corn flakes." "Orange juice, corn flakes and milk." "I never seemed to have enough time." "I was always in a hurry." "I spent my life going from one plane to another." "Just like her!" "Rafael , you work too much!" "You're rig ht son." "One day you'll fly the ultimate aircraft to faraway planets and discover the wonderful things that I can only dream of." "Here!" "You can have them." "Honey, we're home!" " Hi!" " My two loves!" "How handsome you look!" "Look at those shades." "The plane crash that took my life was something that no one expected." "It robbed us of the bond that the three of us shared." "I had taken steps to protect my family if something happened to me." "But emotionally..." "nothing could prepare them for the emptiness that my departure would leave in their lives." "If I could only do it over, I would share more time and experiences with them." "Unfortunately, we realize our mistakes too late." "I hope that you can learn from our tragedy." "You are losing a tooth?" "Yes, honey, that means that you're growing up." "Miguelito had always been an excellent student, but now he wasn't doing well in school." "I spoke to your teachers and they said you weren't doing well in school." "You r father..." "Your father always wanted you to learn Spanish better, and I want to get back to doing my artwork, so we are going to go on a tri p." "We'll spend Christmas in Mexico." "What do you think?" "Santa knows everything!" "No matter where you go, he will find you." "Let's pack." " Did you lock the terrace door?" " Yes, Ma." "Are you excited about going to Mexico?" " Yes, Ma." " Put your seatbelt on." " Are you ready?" " Yes, Ma." "Neither Elena nor Miguelito could imagine how this trip was going to change their lives." "Are you happy about going to Mexico?" "Don't be so serious." "It's a new culture." "You're going to like it very much." "You'll see how much you'll like Tepoztlan." "It has mountains, rivers, and a lot of kids your age you can play with." "And there's a very nice lady called Magda, who is going to cook everything you like." "Pancakes every morning." "What do you say?" "Remember you are half-cu ban and half-Mexican, which is my half." "I know you'll love it." " Put your jacket on." " I'm not cold." "Even if you're not cold you have to put it on." "Do you like what I bought you?" " In Spanish." " Yes, Ma." "Honey, you'll have to learn more Spanish than that to live in Mexico." "What are you going to do if you have a little friend?" " There he is." " Is that Roberto?" "Don't call me Roberto." "Now, I'm Bobby." "Understand?" "You have changed a lot." "I'm so glad to see you." "How is your aunt doing in the United States?" "Okay, I'm g lad ." "You boys wait here." "I'm going to call your mother and tell her that you arrived safely." "She always thinks that the plane is going to crash ." "You know how she is." "So tell me cousin , what did you learn over there?" "Watch this!" "What happened?" "Excuse me." "Is this your wallet?" "What's wrong?" "Let's go." "You always have to be by my side." "Soon , love." "We're going to Tepoztlan , a beautiful town that is near Mexico city." "You'll love it." "It's magical!" "They are going on a pilgrimage to the see the Virgin." "Today is the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, they are going to her shrine to act upon a promise they made to her." "She is the patroness of Mexico, and she will keep us safe during our stay here." "Look at the countryside, love." "See that mountain?" "You see it?" "That big mountain is called Tepoztecatl." "They say it looks over all the people that live here." "Miguelito, stop playing with your video games, you're missing out on the beautiful landscape." "It's really beautiful!" "We're here, honey." "Good afternoon." "could you help us with the bags, please?" "How do you do?" "You must be Magda." "I'm Elena." "It's a pleasure." "You must be Miguelito." "I have heard a lot of good things about you." "Honey, what did I say about speaking Spanish?" "Thank you." "It's a beautiful day for you r arrival." "The day of Our Lady of Guadalupe." "We saw the pilgrimage." "Remember, Miguelito?" " You asked me about it." " Yes, Ma." " Please, come in." " Than k you." " Tell her everything you saw." " Tell me, Miguelito." "No!" "There's no television here." "You'll get used to it, honey." "It finally came out!" "Place it under your pillow and we'll see how much money the Tooth Fairy brings you." "What happened , honey?" "That's ten pesos." "Here, we call the Tooth Fairy, .. Perez, the little mouse..." "Isn't this place beautiful?" "We can't go back to Miami rig ht now." "There's no television here." "It's for our own good." "We'll stay for a while." "We both need a change." "If your Dad..." "Miguelito loves gadgets." "The end result of a consumer society." "He has flashlights, knives, tools, portable radios," "computers, video games, everything that modern life can offer a child." "It's a pity!" "We try to show our children how much we love them by buying them things." "We did wrong." "What they want is our love and our company." "That's what they need the most." "We're not thieves, senora and I'm not going to rob you." "Hey!" "Stop!" "Don't go on !" "Look!" "There's a car coming!" "Are you , okay?" "Thanks." " My name is Michael." " My name is Pablo." "What is that?" "Yes, that's my burro." "He's my friend." "H is name is Geronimo." "I've never seen a burro before." "Where are you from?" "cu ban , Mexican , whatever!" "Are you a Cuban-Mexican from the United States?" "Call me Mikey." "Like Mickey Mouse?" "Geronimo, I want you to meet my new friend Mikey." " Would you like to ride him?" " Really?" "Yes!" "Ironically, this accident opened a window to a unknown world for my son." "A new and wonderful world." "A world full of magic!" "Dona Elena, I brought you some linden-blossom tea." "Perhaps it doesn't mean much now, but the pain will be more bearable with time." "It is always the women who have to be strong." "I know how you feel ." "My husband died 15 years ago." "I felt so empty after he was gone." "My work became part of my healing." "The owners of the house, your cousins, say that you are quite an artist." "It's one of the reasons why we came here, Magda." "Now I think it was a mistake." "God never makes mistakes." "If God wants it that way, it rains on a cloud less day..." "It's not me..." "It's my son." "Miguelito?" "Look at him!" "He's happy!" "There's no doubt about it." "Like father, like son." "Drink your tea, Dona Elena." "How did your adventure go yesterday?" "Great!" "I met a kid named Pablo." "I know his parents." "They are good people." "Today he'll teach me how to ride." "How to ride what?" " A burro." " Isn't that dangerous?" "I have to go." "Miguelito, you didn't finish you r breakfast!" "Be careful , honey!" "Don't worry." "Look at them run." "I remember when we were children here in Mexico." "We could go anywhere without worrying." "We were always playing." "This is my granddaughter, Ixchel." "Hello, Ixchel." "Are you looking for Miguelito?" "He just left with Pablito." "Is she mute?" "Since birth , but she learned to read lips very well and some of the dialects of the mountain people." "You have to remember, silence gives consent..." "I'm not as much fun as Miguelito, but would you like to come watch me draw?" "I know how to do it..." "Be careful, Miguelito!" "Don't ride that way!" "Us men have strong feet." "I can't do it." "It's a matter of getting used to it." "Some day you'll be able to do it." "Christmas is a little over a week from now." " Who is the fat man?" " That's Santa Claus." "Let's go!" "With each new day, the boys' friendship grew stronger." "Elena is also excited about her new painting." "Each passing day draws them closer to Christmas." "It would be the first Christmas we wouldn't be together... but life must go on." "Bye!" "Don't run!" "Oh , my God!" "Look at that." "I just told him." "My dear wife had found a spiritual refuge in her art." "I am so glad!" "I'm very proud of her." "You are Pablito's friend from the United States." "Yes." " I'm h is mother." " N ice to meet you ." "come in." "Pablito, your little friend is here." "Dad , this is my friend Mikey." "It's a pleasure, Miguelito." "Make yourself a home." " Thank you." " These are my sisters." "Dora, Angela, Gloria and my Aunt Patty." "Hello." "Why don't the little boys go out and play?" "I'm not a little boy." "I am a man!" "Oh, now he's a man." "Will you protect us with those muscles?" "Enough!" "Back to work." "We have less than a week to make the delivery." "We're working , Dad." "Be careful , children." "Alright, Pablito." "Geronimo is loaded up." "Good luck!" "come, Miguelito." "We have to make a delivery." "Those shades are really cool!" "I'll let you borrow them." "They were my Dad's." "Keep them on for a while." "They look good on you." "Why do your sisters pick on you like that?" "Because my father likes me best and they are envious." "My father also used to like me best." "Now he's in heaven." "And precisely from heaven, I was pleased to see how those children bonded and supported each other." "I'm very thankful of Pablito... and also of Geronimo, for all they do for my son." "Hand them over." "Here's half an orange for each of you and this is for your father." " Thank you." " Have a n ice day." "This is your share." "Let's go." "Pablito also taught Miguelito the merits of working and earning an honest living." "He was a very popular boy in that town, and my son was very proud of that fact." " Would you like a wafer?" " Yes." "Let's see if we have enough." "Yes, we do." "Thank you." "What's wrong , lady?" "Where is her camera?" "Did you take it?" "I didn't steal her camera." "You'll have to come to the station with me." "I saved your life and you saved mine." "That makes us brothers forever!" "Brothers." " How do you want it?" " Like this Mohican." " A Mohawk?" " Yes." "Just ignore him." "I'm talking to you." "I'm so scared!" "I won't leave until I'm wearing those shades." "I don't think so." "They're mine and you're not taking them." "I'm so scared!" "What are you going to do about it?" "Watch out!" "Behind you!" "You haven't heard the last of it!" "Wow!" "Are you Bruce Lee?" "No, I'm from Miami." "Everyone there practices karate." "I see that Miguelito made good use of all of those karate lessons." "I just hope he doesn't turn violent." "Violence is a terrible thing." "Why are you barefoot?" "Getting ready for Christmas, silly." "Let's go get the tree." "Yes, we'll take this." " What is that good for?" " You'll see." "Let's go." "Ixchel is going to help you find the tree." "This is a boy's expedition." "Honey, Ixchel will go with you." "She knows the area well and can help you find the tree." "Look!" "That's the coward's burro." "What?" "Let's take it!" "How d id she get here so fast?" " She was down there." " That's rig ht!" " Where can that tree be?" " Yes, where is it?" "Did you hear that rattle?" "It came from over there." "Let's go!" "You push and I'll pull." "What's wrong with you?" "Why aren't you pushing?" "Didn't you hear?" "That animal tried to kill me!" "Kill you?" "This beautiful..." "Do you hear that sound?" "It came from over there." "That man is trapped." "Let's help him." "Hold my hand, Pablo." "Pull , Miguelito!" "Quick!" "What is he saying?" "He says he is going to the Holy Birth of the Baby Jesus." "He left us amaranth cakes." "We're never going to find that tree." "Sure we'll find it." "Didn't your mother teach you not to speak with your mouth full?" "How are we going to dig it out?" "Let's go!" "It was almost by force that that very special girl became the boys' friend." "Christmas is a beautiful and magical time for children." "I'm so glad that my son got into the Christmas spirit." "That's not the way it goes!" "I have an idea." "You sing yours and I'll sing mine." "Children, I brought you some cookies." "Look!" "This one looks like Geronimo." "Yes, some are shaped like burritos." " Are they good?" " They're very good." "But Christmas couldn't fill the void my dear Elena felt in her soul." "Life is a valley of tears." "That's why we have to wear skis." "Dear Magda, you have a saying for every occasion." "Are you ready to walk barefoot?" "Yes, Pablito, I'm ready." "Then, let's go!" "In those Mexican fields, Miguelito and his friend could enjoy wholesome adventures... far away from the consumer society, from pollution, and the dangers of large cities." "Adventures that all children should have." "That way they can learn valuable lessons that they'll need to know when they become men." "In Miami, as in any other city, nowadays, you can 't leave children alone." "What a pity!" "The things they could learn!" "Look how beautiful those mountains are!" "My plane will reach the top of the farthest mountain." "No, mine is going to win." "I'm going to throw mine." "It's going to fly across the sky and then it will fall down." "Mine is going to fly like a real plane." "It will cross the sky and won't break when it lands." " Hi!" " I have a surprise for you." "What?" "Get in!" "I'll show you ." "On the double!" "Get in !" "What is it Dad?" "Let's go." "Quick!" "Pablito 's family has welcomed Miguelito with warmth." "I'm very grateful to them." "This time, Pablo will provide them with an unforgettable adventure." "Pablo's trust helps the children understand the importance of responsibility and how to fend for themselves." "What's the surprise, Dad?" "This is the surprise!" "Wow!" "It's a raft." " How cool!" " Thanks, Dad." "I spent a lot of time on this river with a raft just like that one." "But boys!" "Don't let the women know about this." "You know how they are." " Thanks, Dad." " Bye!" "This way, the boy's affection for each other continues to increase." "This will be a friendship that will last a lifetime." "One of those friends that are always close to our heart." " Did you hear that?" " Yes." "It came from over there." "What d id he say?" "I am going to discover the light that is to come for all the mountain people." "can you take me to the other side of the river?" "You will do a good deed." "You will do a good deed for a man who still has a good distance to travel." "Su re. come aboard ." "God sent you to me as a gift." "Thank you." "Thank you." "I am off to seek the Holy Birth." "God bless you!" "Where did he go?" "Yes, he's magical, like that other man." " This cookie is very good." " That is true." "Didn't you r mother teach you not to speak with you r mouth full?" "This is really good." "Look at the beautiful tomatoes from the kitchen garden." "What's wrong?" "What's wrong , dear?" "Nothing." "I'm fine." "There's no smoke without fire..." "I'm the Black Pirate and I'm taking over the ship!" "No!" "I'm the Red Barbarian and this shi p is mine!" "No!" "I'll take it from you." "No, it's mine!" "The boys explored nature and became immersed in it." "That way they learned how to love and respect it." "I wonder if Santa Claus knows where I am?" "Who is this Santa Claus?" "You know." "He has a red suit, a black belt..." "Ho-Ho-Ho." "Santa Claus is what Christmas is all about." "Isn't Christmas the time to celebrate Baby Jesus' birth?" "Yes, but Santa Claus is the best part." "He brings the toys." "We get our toys from the three Magi, the kings who found Baby Jesus and brought him gifts." "But... but..." "I'm so glad my dear wife found a spiritual refuge in her art... and a true friend in Magda." "Hi, Miguelito." "How handsome you look." "Look at that beautiful hair." "You are the one who's beautiful." "How are you , Miguelito?" "Are you looking for Pablito?" "He's working on the truck with h is father." "Isn't he handsome?" "Don't be shy?" "Go tell him ." " Okay, Pablito." "Try again." " Yes, Dad." "It's no use." "There's nothing more I can do." "I'll have to wait until your uncle comes on Friday." "Son, you know this order we have to deliver is important?" "Of course, Dad." "It is extremely important for all of us." "Can you do it?" "Yes, we won't let you down!" "Right, Miguelito?" "It's a long way off and you'll have to stay overnight at your aunt's house." "Go tell you r mother so she won't worry." "I'll get Geronimo ready." "You r mother went to the city to take care of some errands." "She won't be back until tonight." "Pablito and I are going on a delivery." "What?" "I'm going to sleep over at his house." " Does your mother know that?" " Yes." "Behave... and wear your shoes." "It was only a little lie." "You understand?" "Thanks, Dad." "Of course I understand, son." "At your age I would have done the same thing." "But I'm sure your Mom wouldn't agree with me." "I'll forgive you this time." "Lying is very bad." "You should always tell the truth." "I made you some sandwiches and take some fruit." "It's good for you." " Put them in my backpack." " What is that?" "My bag." "Ready!" "Bye." "Be careful!" "Give my regards to Rosa." "I should have asked Dona Elena." "I hope nothing happens to him." "It's a big load." "It just looks big." "It's not that heavy." "Geronimo is the strongest burro in all Mexico." "Rig ht, Geronimo?" " Are you ready?" " Yes." "Your aunt is expecting you." "Give my regards to her and to your cousins." "Yes, Mom." "Have a good trip." "Take care." "Okay, on your way." "Bye." "Take care, Miguelito." " Bye." " Be careful." "One day I'll have a delivery company, with many trucks... and men working for me, delivering things all over the country." "I'll be rich." "I'll call my company, Geronimo Trucking." "What about you?" "I want to be an astronaut  ride a rocket to Mars and discover new worlds." "Why?" "In Miami, all I ever did was to go to school and come home." "But if you go to Mars, we won't see each other." "What is that?" "I'll write you." "I don't have to go to school." "Do I really have to go?" "If you want to read my letters and count your millions, you have to go to school." "It's so nice to hear kids make plans for the future." "I know I'll share the future with my son in a very special way." "Closer than if I had stayed with him on Earth." "Did you see that?" " I'm never going to drink." " Me either." "Look at that drunkard!" "Being placed in a cart that way." "How embarrassing!" "What are you doing here?" "Go home!" "This is man's work." "Go home." " Do it now!" " I'm taking aim." "Geronimo!" "Where's Geronimo?" "I have an idea." "I can use my binoculars." "I can't see Geronimo." "We can follow his tracks. come, Ixchel!" "Wait for me." " Careful!" "Don't fall." " Wait for me!" "Are you okay, Miguelito?" "This crazy gringo!" "I'm not a crazy gringo." "It's done." "I love it!" "It's for you, my Guadalupe." "Hello?" "What?" "No, Ixchel is not here." "The boys aren't here either." "One second, someone's at the door." "Good afternoon." "Good afternoon, I'm Pablito's father." "Nice to meet you." "I'm Elena." "Please come in." "Excuse me, Dona E lena." "Have you heard from the boys?" "Aren't they at your house?" "Oh , I'm glad it's you, Pablo." "Ixchel is missing." "Have you seen her?" "Dona Elena, I should have told you before..." "Excuse me, I have to tell my wife." "The boy said you gave him permission." "I don't know what to do." "It's getting dark." "We have stop to make camp." "I'll start a fire." "I have a couple of flashlights." "We'll use them to look for firewood." "Let's go!" "Stop fooling around and let's find some firewood." "It's your fault that Geronimo ran away." "If we hadn't been talking to you, none of this would have happened." "It wasn't her fault." "It was the truck's fault." "How come you're defending her?" "Is she your girlfriend?" "I promised my father." "You'll keep your promise and we'll find Geronimo." "I don't have any more matches and I couldn't start a fire." "Aren't you going to share you r food with us?" "You want me to apologize?" "Okay..." "I 'msorry." "can we eat now?" "Give me some, please." "Thank you." "This banana is very good." "Do you want some, Ixchel?" " You want some chicken?" " Yes, thank you." "Here you are." "I wonder if Santa Claus knows where we are." "There you go talking about that fat gringo again!" "Don't talk nonsense." "Dad!" "You came back!" " How are you, son?" " Fine." "I only came back for a little while." "You can call our little visit a Christmas present from God." " Yes?" " What do you think?" "Why did you leave?" "It was my time to go." "That's just the way life is." "But it's not fair!" "It is... in a sense." "Life is a test." "I passed the test and God cal led me home." "Am I also being tested?" "Yes, but both you and you r mother have a long way to go." "Don't forget... youare part of you r mother's test." "I came here to tell you something." "First, that I love you very much." "I also love you very much." "The other thing is that your mother loves you very much and needs you now more than ever." "You know what?" "Before I was cal led to God," "I left a gift for you and your mother." "What?" "It's a surprise." "Your mother will tell you." "You're cold." "Put your gloves on." "I have to go." "Don't go!" "I don't want you to leave." "Remember what I told you." "Now be a good boy and go to sleep." "Yes, sir!" "Than k you , Lord!" "Look!" "Those idiots are still looking for their burro." "As if that stupid burro was worth finding." "Why don't you get a haircut like mine?" "My Mom would kill me." "She would feel proud of you...." "Where d id Pablo go?" "Where is he?" "Let's go, Ixchel." "Someone help us!" "We're here!" "Don't leave!" "P lease, hel p us!" "No, don't leave!" "I heard Geronimo." "Have you seen him?" "Let's go find him." "We have to get them out first, Pablo." "But Geronimo is nearby." "We have to help them first." "Get us out of here, please!" "Don't you remember?" "They were the ones that tried to steal the sunglasses." "I don't care if they tried to rob a bank." "We have to get them out first, Pablo." "Okay." "How are we going to get them out?" "I have an idea." "Pablo, give me your poncho." "Ixchel, give me your belt." "Please, don't leave!" "Help us!" "Dad , help me!" "He's pulling me down !" "Is everyone okay?" "Than k you ." "Where d id you come from?" "I kept hearing a man's voice calling for help and I found children instead." "Rescue me too!" "Please help me!" "How are we going to get fatso out of there?" "Please!" "Don't leave me!" "Did you find the children?" "Please, calm down!" "Unfortunately there is no news." "I can't believe that you're not doing anything!" "Please, you have to find them." "Holy Virgin, please protect my baby!" "Please protect all of them!" "Our son is all right." "Go to him , he needs you." "We're going to find them." "Let's go get the children." "I think I know where they are." "Let's go Magda." "I'm coming." "Here's your shawl." "Where are you taking us?" "To Tepoztlan, a town near here." "You know your parents and the police are looking for you?" "They are al l very worried." "I failed and let my family down." "No, Pablo." "Your parents will understand." "They have all learned important lessons and as a result, have become better human beings... who are able to understand the value of forgiveness," "of honesty and of loving their fellow men." "Now this colorful group will be taken to witness several Christmas miracles." "Dona Elena, are you sure of where we're going?" "Just relax, Pablo." "I'm very worried about the children." "We're going to find them and they're going to be okay." "You're so kind." "Thank you." " Be careful , Dona Elena!" " Holy Mother of God!" " Are you okay?" " I'm fine." "Don't worry." " Are you sure?" " Of course." "Can we do something for you?" "By any chance are you going to Tepoztlan?" "Why yes. can we offer you a ride?" "Thank you." "You are very kind." " Please get in." " Are you Ixdahuc?" "Yes, ma'am." "Your granddaughter married my son." "You are Magda." "Dona Elena, this is Ixchel's great grandfather." "He is a highly revered chieftain of his people." "It's a blessing to have you here with us." "I am the one to have been blessed." "It has been over a hundred years that a child has been born to the three tribes on the day the Christ child was born." "It's a blessing from God." "A sign of peace and prosperity for all the mountain people." "The three great tribes have sent their chieftains to greet the child to our world." "You are very tense." "You should relax, especially in your condition." "What do you mean in my condition?" "You don't know?" "What do you say?" "Madam, you are with child." "I thought so." "All those times you were sick." "I didn't dare say anything." "What are you talking about?" "It's a girl!" "You have been blessed, my child!" "A daughter?" "Come, Magda, let's go find my son." "Yes, we got your complaint." "My son!" "I thought we would never see you again." "We were so worried!" "If I wasn't so happy to see you, I'd spank you." " My love!" " Mom !" "How are you?" "Why didn't you tell me where you were going?" "Are you sure you're okay?" "Mom, I saw dad when we were lost." "Of course, my love, I'm sure you saw him." "He said he loved us very much and that he would always be with us." "He spoke the truth, my love." "He also said he left us a surprise." "What is it?" "You r father did leave us a surprise." "I'm going to have a baby and you'll have a little sister to play with." "Thanks, Mom!" "Thanks, Dad!" "A truck..." "A cloud of dust..." "Geronimo lost in the woods..." "Pablito and some boys fell over a cliff?" "Wait!" "This sounds like a very long story." "Ixchel , this is your great grandfather." "My child, how beautiful you are." "The last time I saw you, you were crawling all over the place." "Dad , we lost Geronimo with the load." "He ran away and we couldn't find him." "I let the family down." "Pablo, it was my fault that Geronimo ran away." "No, it was my fault." "Was it your fault that the truck came by and that he disappeared?" "When the truck was goi ng by" "I grabbed a stone and used my slingshot..." "It hit him and he ran away." "It really doesn't matter now." "Thanks for telling the truth." "You are more of a man than most men, my son." "Now let us all go to the Holy Birth." "Let's go." "Do you speak English?" "To the church." "Oh!" "Let's go!" "Geronimo and the load!" "Looks like you made your delivery after all." "We found Geronimo and the fabric." "Geronimo is here!" "He's so pretty." "My God!" "My little girl can speak." "Dona Elena, she can speak!" "Children, a strange, but very nice man brought you these gifts." "This is for Pablito." "This is for Miguelito... and this is for Ixchel." "Open them!" "Wow!" "Shades exactly like yours!" "That's cool!" "How do I look?" "I'm so glad I can speak." "Now, with what they gave me for Christmas," "I'll be able to buy all the books for next year." "We'll never be able to shut her up." "Miguelito was right." "Rafael left us the greatest gift of all." "Come see, Dona Elena's painting!" "It's so beautiful!" "And that was the way that Our Lady of Guadalupe blessed our family forever that unforgettable Christmas!"
