VIDEO 1: A GIFT THAT I RECEIVED AS A CHILD

PILLIN

When I was two years old I received the most important gift I ever had, it was on my birthday, on Christmas eves of 1986. I remember that it was next to me when I woke up that morning, and when I opened my eyes I saw a beautiful toy. It was a plastic dog, a yellow fake plastic animal that had a delicious smell of lemon.

It was soft and tender and one of its legs was softer than others so I chewed it every time and now it has a hole in its leg.

As a child, I played with it everyday and maybe I even spoke to it, why not. At that time I spent many days very lonely and without any friend. I was a bubble boy because I remained very sick with asthma and flu.

But when I grew up I got stronger and I was able to play outside my bedroom, I had a lot a friends that invited me to play outside but when I came back to my bedroom  my plastic dog was always there, waiting to play with me.

Now it´s a little bit dirty because it`s been many years since I received it. But it remains as one of my dearest toys, but I really don´t remember who gave it to me, my mother says that maybe my granpa, in that case it´s more important to me, he passed away two years ago and I really miss him, and sometimes I think that all the love from my grandfather remains in that toy.

So, this was my first pet, my fake plastic dog named Pillin.
