The road to North

The story begins with Claveles and her grandfather venturing, on foot
to the city. They were poor but they weren't beggars. They were focus
on finding the department of Welfare. When they arrived they were
fatigue.
Jesus Picero was a famous artist and very humble. He began
as a potter then it expanded to small sculptures which he sold to
tourist. He work very carefully and did his work step by step. He was
illiterate but he was smart. Craving wasn't his only means of income but
also breeding gamecocks. but he never bet on them because he think
that money that is not earn through hard work is of the devil.
Picero and his wife, Amparo had 13 children and only 5
survived, their youngest son, who was in the military, brought home in
newborn baby-girl. He explained to them that it is his child and the
mother abandoned her. They criticised the mother solution but Amparo
prayed and took care of the child while her father served out his
sentence.But he told them to name her Claveles because her mother
favorite flower was carnations.She grew up with her grandparents.
Unfortunately, went Claveles was nine Amparo died at age 60. The
funeral was small and simple. Picero tried to console himself by
occupying himself with house chores. Eventually he was unable to work
as effectively and his figures didn't sell. His work nor his granddaughter couldn't console him and he turned into a drunkard. he
neglected everything til he became the poorest man in the region.
Claveles left for a job in town. She came back home pregnant with the
father being unknown. She found her grandfather close to insanity and
alone.
Time passed and with the present of Claveles and a child
on the way Picero began to crave again and was bought back to life.
After Juan was delivered, which his great grandfather named him
because it is Jesus best-friend. They discovered that he wasn't normal

and the doctor told them that he was deaf and as a result also mute.
The doctor suggested sending him to an institution which his great
grandfather opposed and said that they would care for him in which
they did. They sang to him and let him feel the vibrations. The boy was
always with Picero and he grew healthy and with a lot of love. He did
more than the average child although he was disable. His grandfather
insisted that he goes to school but because of his disability he can't
attend regular school. Claveles tried to reason with him and show him
that it is just not possible.
Until one day Mrs. Dermoth's volunteers explained that poor
disabled children are now given an opportunity to live a better life with
a couple who has no children.They showed the Piceros a map of North
America and brochures and tried to persuade them that they will be
able to be educated and become successful. Jesus disagreed at all
cost. But Claveles was open to the possibility. When the voluntary left
Clavesles kept thinking about it and compared the picture on the
brochures to her life and a week later when she ran into a volunteer
again they spoke to her continuously til she did give Juan away and in
turn she received $250 but this didn't matter. While Jesus Dionisio
Picero was in church this happened and when he heard of it he had a
tantrum. He beat Claveles and he didnt speak to her for months
although they completed their chores together. Until one day he heard
Mrs. Dermoth's name on the radio he called out to Claveles who ran to
him immediately because of his facial expression.
He exclaimed that they killed Juan. The organisation was a
conspiracy used in order to use disabled children as living organs banks,
after fatten them up and sending their organs to persons who need
them in North America. While police and the government are
investigating the matter Claveles and her grandfather journey to town
to talk to the Secretary of Welfare to find out if Juan is among the
remaining survivors. They are willing to do whatever it takes to repay
Mrs.Dermoth her $250 and get their Juan back.

because he used to help at the church and he thought as his talent as
God gifts and live by God's rules, he was a bit emotional and loving
when it came especially to Juan and it is shown in his reaction towards
