THE LOST DOLL


Maria Del Carmen was the daughter of Roberto and Rosa Soto. She was beautiful, bright, kind and loving. She was sick by birth. She could not recover her health and died at four. Almost everybody attended her funeral because they loved her a lot. A few days later, Rosa gave the clothes and playthings of Carmen to a priest of the nearby village. She did not think it was necessary to save them any longer because her doctor had already declared that she could not have child any more. But Roberto objected to what she had done with Carmen’s belongings. He was hopeful that God might offer him another child. However, she had forgotten to give Carmen’s doll to the priest. They looked for it everywhere in the house. They finally forgot the doll.

The Lost Doll

Rosa gave birth to the second child. They named the baby as Evengelina because it meant good news. She looked exactly similar to Carmen in the face and nature. But she was healthier than Carmen. Evengelina often said that she was sick a long ago. But Rosa replied that she has been healthy since her birth time.
One day when Rosa and her sister were talking, Evengelina entered the room. To see her, Rosa’s sister said that she looked like her sister. But Rosa pointed out that she was healthier than Carmen. To hear her mother, Evengelina said that she was sick a long time ago. In the meantime, her sister asked Rosa if they found Carmen’s doll that was missing. She replied that she did not find it. When Evengelina heard this, she said that she remembered where she had put the doll. She took both sisters by the hand and pointed to the stony ground under a tree. They dug up under the tree and found the doll. When they asked how she knew where she had put her doll, she replied that a priest came and prayed with his hand on her head. Then she fell asleep. A nice man woke her up by the hand. He didn’t allow her to take the doll with her. Then he helped her to put it under a tree. When she looked at her mother she saw a kind of sickness in her.
This is a story about reincarnation. Reincarnation is a belief that the soul or spirit of one body is reborn in another body. Evangelina is the reincarnation of Carmen. This explains why Evangelina “remembers” being sick, and why she knows where the lost doll was hidden.
