A dress with wings.

There was a day when a couple of tourists with his little son was visiting a exotic land. The young boy, about 6 or 7 years old were very curious about everything he was seeing during that visit, but one day he was completely astonished with the most beautiful vision he ever saw in his still short life. A wonderful girl had made his heart beat like fire. And for the first time he felt a strange sensation that was making him a little nervous, but anyway he started to talk with the gorgeous girl and he saw she was sad. Their great dark eyes were so miraculous and yet with a sadness so contemplative. He asked why she was sad  and she answered because of tradition. The evil tradition of not be free, to be always dependent of family and above all of men. Not to be free to love, to travel, to be independent, instead of that, the slavery, the wipe or even worst, the acid. Would you come with me if you could? Asked the boy. I don't know you. You would prefer remain slave all life or live with someone that really love you? She smiled and they kissed each other. But we are too young. Yes but if you wait some years I will offer you a dress with wings. And how you will do that? Asked the girl. Don't worry, trust me. The years passed. During this time, they were been changing emails and talking when possible on Internet but always very carefully. One day she received a message asking her to be at the airport. That day she lived her family with a mist of sadness and relief. From one plane, the little boy, now a man, get out and called the little girl, now a woman. He smiled, she smiled too. But suddenly she was serious and said, you lied to me. Why? You promised me a dress with wings and I don't see nothing. Well the wings you already saw them and the dress, there it is. And when she opened the box, she stayed truly happy. There it was the most beautiful dress she had ever saw in her life!
