                        SUMMARY «Bill» by leney Ortiz

This tale was really catching for me, it shows the sad situation of a man who at the age of 30 lost his wife, with whom he had a baby named Minna, a little girl who was only 4 years old when that terrible situation occurred. Bill was a carpenter, he spent a lot of time on his carpenter shop located in the yard of his house, and he worked all the day sitting on his bench while Minna played in the yard with her doll and her kitten. Every night the girl prayed, kneeling in the middle of the floor with her hands folded. Two years after the Bill’ wife’s death he fell ill on a May afternoon and because of that, he had to let his little Minna go with another family in order to protect her. There are a lot of situations like this in the real life, in which a father or mother has to overcome terrible situations alone, because of different circumstances such as; money, health, time and so on. Nowadays, millions of children are abandoned for different reasons, sometimes they have good luck and are adopted by excellent families that offer them all the necessary for living happy. On the contrary, some of those children are adopted by terrible families that offend, hit, and abuse of them physically and psychologically.
