MARY SÁNCHEZ AND HER HUSBAND
Mary was sitting on a bench in a Park very close to her neighbourhood. She was reading
an Agatha Christie’s novel when a handsome man just passed in front of her. They
looked each other and smiled. Mary stopped looking at him quickly and continued
reading. Five minutes later, the same man sat down on the bench with a rose in his
hands. Mary blushed and the man with a sweetly voice said to her: - Only your prettiness
can match the beauty of this rose.
After that moment, they fell I love and make a life together.

fast as he could to the woman. When he came, he realised that a young and pretty
