The Lost Steps and My Childhood Memory

The Lost Steps and my childhood memory.



When a child in high school, we used to approach the statue of the Great Captain who was located in the center of the Plaza de las Tendillas. The Institute was also in the square, with balcony and saw the statue, as well as taxis that were parked around the statue. Taxis were mostly of the Ford brand because he had not yet begun the transition from the espadrille to six hundred of the Seat.

Children would read what was written on the base of the monument.

There was a phrase that I have not been forgotten, and saying: "Better die giving one hundred steps forward to live one hundred years giving one back."

There also appeared the names of the battles of the Italian campaign, including Cerignola.

A children what we liked most was the head of the statue, they said it was the lizards, and we drew attention for being white and highlight that.

And that has to do what has been said today.

So much, because now there has been talk of a step backward and a step forward.

And there is a clear contradiction to what he thought the Great Captain.

Another thing famous, are the accounts of the Great Captain, which began: "by picks, shovels and hoes, one hundred million ducats for alms, etc".

In the Hall of Lost Steps should also have accounts, and these are:

Having spent two to five million unemployed, two million votes.

By turning down the stipend of officials, eight hundred thousand votes.

Having frozen pensions, three million votes.

And so on.

All these things are the result of historical memory, personal but it is nevertheless to be historical.

My memory newest Labordeta the Great, who in his more lucid moments driven by anger and sent their opponents to the site sublime, something smelly, which should be everyone who does not know or want to take the right steps.

The Great Captain was what today is known as a playboy. Clean panties led to Queen Elizabeth I, because Santa Fe had lost them in the famous fire.
