Maria was born in 1950, in Chile. She was a beautiful woman, but she nevertheless always tried to look ugly, because men constantly followed her on the street. One day, she was walking in a shopping mall when suddenly she looked around and saw a hundred men looking at her. She obviously felt embarrassed and quickly went into a snack bar. The owner stood beside her and said '' Don't put your hand on your head''. At this exact moment, she started crying. He said" It can't make head nor tail of it, crying because you are beautiful. Wait here, I'll be back in 5 minutes''. He went to call a policeman to take her home.
When the policeman arrived, he was about to tell her that she was beautiful, but instead, he said nothing. However, he had an eye for a pretty face. He walked Maria to her house. When they were in front of her home, she said. '' Wait a minute. It is better to carry an umbrella in case it rains''. He took her umbrella and left.
For three days Maria was very sad, and Maria's mother understood what had happened. Maria had fallen in love at first sight. Maria's mother said, ''Please stand up, Maria, and go get my umbrella back.'' Maria replied, '' What? and Why? So Maria's mother answered '' I want my umbrella now.''
Of course, Maria's mother knew that this was set up so that Maria would have a chance of meeting the policeman again. And she also knew that Maria had fallen in love with the policeman because he was the only man who didn't say that she was beautiful.
