And was
these way, the family of my mother was living in a country near Africa they had
noble blood but not the land, but was much more rich than the prince his cousin.
And one day, my mother was who told me what happens to them, who was outside of
home came mulatto, they was descendants of Jews but for a dispute that they
lost for them left be Arabs and no more
Jews, my mother was outside of the house in the garden and receive the doom, they
get know that after 30 years the plague would pass, she that was teenage and
always say that never would marry change her mind, and my father I didn’t had born yet, want to know my
mother to see the rich girl that came dark, my father was short and fat and wasn’t
rich but Jew and older than mother, he was single and over 30 years my mother
ask to marry her, he was everything she wants, she was filthy rich and she had
a curse that would pass after 30 years of the curse, and they marry. My family
start to send letters to Europe making excuses to they don’t appear, one day my mother said that
we would left Africa because wasn’t safe anymore for us, and we cold went to
Europe, and I prefer went to Brazil, in Europe occasionally they kidnap
mulattos with clear eyes a mother with a small kid was the most wanted, also my
mother was very rich they could kidnap my mother because the money and say that
was because was the skin colour and light eyes, in Brazil they respect very
much the fact of the persons had those documents proving they are free, my
mother money buy almost everything but what we really want is never to buy. We move
to a city in the northeast of the Brazil. There I meet a lot of kids, and we
grew together, I get friend with Jew white girls, girls and boys could be
friends, my father was Jew and they treat me well. So I was so in love for one
of them, that I invade her parties by the window, and sit on his lap, and put a
hat of baby and ask to be his baby that I want she to love me, I used to do
these things to she be kind with me and stay these way all the party, I was
very young when I play a baby to seat on his lap and be embraced with her, was
parties only for his friends only had young girls and the only boy was me that
break into, was like a tea party, I was so in love for her these thing of be
her baby was to be close to her, I start to feel a big sadness, I was a prince,
rich, and so handsome I feel like a colt without a mother of so beautiful even
had blue eyes I had so much and for that girl wasn’t enough, be mulatto was
only a curse and I love her so much, I almost implore her love, I was so needy
of she, but she was cruel and to humiliate me send a mulatta that was free to
say to me that I suppose to marry her I would never want, and also I was still young
for a marriage, I would marry young if was with the right girl, she was older,
she said so much boring things that pass all my needy for love, one day she say
to me that she would marry a white man and I suppose buy a slave to marry, I
start to be close at home to don’t see the mulatta, every time that I was outside
home there came she to talk with me, one day my mother return to be white was
only she, my father start to be upset asking my mother if my mother still want
him, she was white and beautiful, would leave him, my mother said that never
think in leave my father. My mother was the first, one day stop on my door to
talk with me a girl and friend of the time that I was child, and I before open
the gate I want to know if she came to be cruel with me because our friend girl
that don’t stop of mock me, and she said that she think horrible all the jokes
and like me very much, and said that she was ugly but was white is that
important isn’t. And we get engage to marry in the short time, in our marriage the
my old love said didn’t would appear we prefer that way, and was to be there
almost all my relatives some came from Europe and when the last get in the
church we all came white, my bride start to cry thinking that I would leave her
before the marriage, and I said that start the marriage and make it faster if
possible, once married we move to Europe, there they never saw me mulatto, the
conseuls decide that me and the princess only had 3 sons and for politics provide
me two more marriages, that was be planning and I only say to my wife about when was really to be fact and not
only speculations, she start saying that they would be unpleasant with her and
say a lot of horrible things that they would do, I said why you don’t put these
in a book, and I said that even if was need a law she would be the most
important wife, even if the law had to had write their names, a special law
only for them. His book I already knew was the book that was base for the book
of Cinderella. Rute Bezerra de Menezes Gondim
