A young 17 year old falls pregnant. She tells her parents that she wants to
keep the baby but they insist that she give it up for adoption. She then finds
out she is carrying twins but still her parents say she has to give them up.
When she gives birth she has her picture taken with each one of the twins and
then they are taken away to be adopted.
One of the twins is adopted by a mexican family and they call him Juan. The
other is adopted by an indian family and they call him Amall.
Her life carrys on and she meets a man, marrys him and settles down and the
couple have three children together. Everyday she thinks about the twins and
wonders what they would look like.
After 17 years of wondering a letter arrives on the mat.
The woman tells her husband that it would be the twins 17th birthday that
day. She eagerly opens the envelope and finds a letter and a picture inside.
"The letter is from Juan," She says to her husband. "he says he has had
a good life. he has sent me a picture of himself. I haven't seen my babies
since the day they were born. I am so happy. But at the same time I am sad."
"Why is that then dear?" inquires her husband.
"Well i have a picture of my son Juan but not Amall." she said sadly.
"Don't worry love, they were twins..." Comforts her husband. "When you've seen Juan you've seen
Amall."
