Story

Lucía Elena , . , . . , .

When Lucía and Elena were little girls, they were the best of friends. Every day they played together near an old castle, in a garden full of plants. Their friendship was very strong. One summer's day, the two friends made an important promise.

Elena wrote the promise on a page of paper. "We're going to be friends forever," she wrote. "When we're grown up, we're going to live together in a big city." Lucía put the page in her pocket. For her, that promise mattered a great deal.

The years went by. Elena's family had to move to another city, far away. The two friends did not want to be far apart, but life took them down different roads. Lucía was sad, but she never forgot the promise. The old page stayed in her pocket.

Many years later, Lucía was a grown woman. One day, while she was walking through the city, she found the old page in her pocket. She read the promise again and remembered her friend. "I still have to keep my promise," she thought. "Friendship matters. Being honest with a friend is obvious."

Lucía looked for Elena for a long time. She wrote letters and called many people. One day, at last, she found her old friend. Elena lived in a small house, with a garden full of plants. When Lucía reached the door, the two women looked at each other with great joy.

"I never forgot our promise," said Lucía, and she showed her the old page. Elena cried with joy. After so many years, the two friends were very happy. Their friendship was still strong. A promise is a commitment of the heart, and they kept it forever.
