In my dormitory, there was a poor student. With all the good intentions in the world, my roommates and I were eager to help her, not realizing how much our help would cost.

And, as if that wasn't enough, she specifically demanded luxury face cream.

En la víspera de la boda, Alejandra, la madrastra de Juan publicó una foto en twitter. En la foto, ella llevaba el vestido de novia que yo había elegido, sostenía un ramo de rosas rojas, y le pedía un beso a Juan con expresión tímida. El texto de la foto decía: ¨Deseo cumplido¨. Esta vez no llamé a Juan para quejarme y llorar como antes. Solo dejé un "me gusta", y un comentario:"La captura de pantalla ya hecha, se la he enviado al padre de Juan." Y poco después, Alejandra eliminó la publicación, mientras Juan me llamó: -Alena, eres demasiado celosa. A partir de ahora, pasaré toda mi vida contigo. Hoy simplemente cumplí el deseo pequeñito de Alejandra. ¡Habla con mi padre y explícaselo! Pórtate bien, y te preparo un regalo. Me reí con burla: -Juan, ¿no entiendes el lenguaje humano? ¡Ve a explicárselo a tu padre!
