— Excuse me, — I said. — I still don’t understand why the cops involved.
The father of the Maya nodded his head.
— Because something else happened last night.
He explained to us that, after Julian had paid for the cart, the shop worker had called him to confirm the order. When Maya’s father went to get the guarantee documents, the employee told him that Julian had left a small note along with the payment.
In the note it was written:
“Please, don’t tell the Tope who bought the cart until it arrives. I want her to think someone did this just because she deserves to have a better day. “I don’t want her to feel like she owes me something.” *
May’s father started crying when he read it.
But that wasn’t the reason for his call.
He had decided to contact the police after a neighbor had told him he had seen Julian handing over the guitar to a used store. The neighbor had thought someone could have forced the boy to sell him and alerted the authorities out of concern.
