The Old Woman

 


 

She was standing on the sidewalk of Atlíântica Avenue with a guitar and a hand-written sign that said:


“Let's sing together.”


She began to play.


Then a drunk arrived, then another old lady and they began to sing along with her.


In a short time a small crowd was singing together and another small crowd played the audience, clapping hands at the end of each number.


“Why do you do this?” I asked between songs.


“I don't want to be alone,” she said


“My life is very lonely, just like almost all old people.”


I wish they all could solve their problems in this way.
