IT ISrase a house of large doors always open to all, children and adults, rich and poor, beautiful and ugly, with a large yard green polka dots and wells that were the delight of children and a high tower, high, high, almost touching the stars.

It had been built for the good and powerful King who never would have known, for the Lord of all lords.

At the highest high tower piquito he lived a giantess named Juana, He wore high boots and armor, and he stood a shield that turned playful with the wind.

Our friend Juana, it was very flirtatious, He spent the day perfuming of orange blossoms and jasmine or gracing his huge armor giantess with flowers and stars that birds of all places wore for her, then he looked in the waters of the great river that surrounded and night, when the moon illuminated his bronze skin, He is watching the lights of the city and loved to see couples walking hand in hand, dreaming of someday find her prince charming.

But one day, couples stopped walking, darkened city, every day, more and more neighbors came to the Gran Castillo to visit the Lord of all lords; They are begging for food, work, Health, all head down, as if they were to blame for their poverty. He began to feel heartbroken by as much pain as he watched his feet and soon forgot to look at the river and fell into a deep sadness.

One morning, the Lord of all lords went to visit her and loving voice told: My daughter, I can not help poverty, nor the pain of people because my kingdom is not of this world and my coffers contain only love, but I know someone who can help.

Grand Lord, – said our friend- And give them gold, and food?

He will give them comfort and soothe your needs.

Already, must be richer than you that King.

The Lord paused and replied with smiling face:

It is a zapaterita.

La Giganta frowned, I just do not have very clear, A shoemaker? What things did your Lord!

In the small workshop, Stitch by stitch, Angelita sewed the most beautiful shoes, while he is dreaming about what it would be more. Some of her friends did not have very clear (hairstylist, singer, writer…, almost all they wanted to be princesses), Angelita but not, Angelita wanted to be St..

¿Saaaanta? Said her fellow workshop, let Angelita, You can never precious brand shoes like these, nor will invite you to parties, There is nothing so boring as being Holy, Oh my God! And will not marry, said all terror.

Angelita smiled and continued sewing, she had found the prince of all princes, the Lord of all lords, and he knew that serving the poor would serve Him.

So it was, throughout his life he served Santa, until one day the Lord called his large garden, a heavenly and inmenso, none of us has yet visited, There had prepared for her lovely shoes with matching colored dress snow, the Lord had organized a dinner for her, a beautiful party where everyone was happy. Angelita was very happy, finally he saw the face of his Lord, It was what he had wanted all his life. After dinner began a grand ball, but Angelita began to get carried away by a strange melancholy. The Lord was watching, and he did not seem surprised, Angelita knew the character and he called.

Santa thought the Lord was angry with her, he had no right to be sad, How could he be in his presence?, She knelt before him blinking back tears.

What my daughter? – He asked the Lord-

Oh my God!, forgive me, It is that I miss my poor-

Mr, moved, he called one of his angels, "I go with her to the palace gate" Jesus commanded; I have another surprise for her.

At the door waiting our friend Juana, carried in his hands a small espadrilles and a habit of cheesecloth.

Santa and Giganta returned together to the highest piquito high tower, from there they glimpsed throughout the city, Angelita took care of everyone and sometimes visited his Lord that he should act urgently occasional miracle. Also they sought from there good souls, It was urgent to find, because the world was beginning to lose the smile and hearts filled with hatred threatened. Santa and Giganta sought tireless here and there, and many young people felt their call.

From any point of the city, If you are looking for the highest piquito of the Giralda, you will see Juana and Angelita, sharpens the ear and pay close attention you may be they are also asking you do you want to be holy?, it says much, love your brothers and follow me.
