The Toys I Played With Nelson Maradiaga from Honduras
I spent every weekend playing with my friends; sometimes I got into trouble with my mama because I spent so much time playing and didn't do my homework. I also remember that I liked dressing up like a sheriff. I have a lot of photos of me wearing a sheriff outfit on my birthday. I would have liked to play with toy soldiers,cowboys, and cars, but all those were more expensive, and my father only bought me toys three times a year—for my birthday, on Children's Day, and for Christmas. One of the toys which I liked most, and which I still remember, was a race car with its freeway. It was really special! Another toy that was important for me was my bicycle. I remember that time I got it like it was now. My father came up to me and said,"Someone is looking for you outside," but when I went there, nobody was there, only a big truck. My father told his employee to open the door. Then I saw my first bicycle. It was blue and white. I thought it was the best bike in the world. All those toys helped me to have a great childhood.
