On the road that leads to a city at the foot of a mountain surrounded by coconut trees there is a very humble house where Mrs. Petronila lived with her daughter Flower of Lis, they got up very early to walk to Mrs. Susana's farm where she did housework. Mrs. Susana would leave for her company and Petronila would take the two girls to a nearby day care center. At noon Mrs. Susana returned home. In the afternoon Petronila and her daughter would go home and when they arrived, she would run to the coconut plants, swing on the palm trees and slide down them, somersault and jump into the void, landing on her feet and culminating that free fall with a flamenco dance. This is how she spent her childhood. Mrs. Susana was very pretty and sweet, she loved her daughter Anita and Flower of Lis very much because she was a very affectionate and funny girl, she was always dancing the flamenco dance. This bothered Anita a lot and she felt jealous, she thought that the girl was stealing her mother's love.
As time went by, the girls became two young women, Anita was slender, pretty and spoiled, while Flower of Lis was elegant, beautiful and kind. When they arrived at Mrs. Susana's house they heard Anita crying and telling her mother "When my father died he left me this house as an inheritance, so I don't want Flower of Lis and her mother to come here anymore." Her mother said to her." Don't behave that way, remember, they are good and loving." Hearing these words, that young girl cried so much that she got sick, without getting better.
A few days later, Mrs. Susana, in a broken voice, told them to "pick up your clothes and leave. Petronila fell silent and felt an emptiness in her stomach. Flower of Lis was hurt by the attitude of that lady, she did not take into account all the years they had been there, and because of her daughter's whim she threw them out. They gathered their things and left.
They returned home, her mother got sick and was hospitalized, Flower of Lis had to take care of her for a week, she had no economic resources to buy the medicines, she went to some charities to ask for them, they donated them to her, and with them her mother recovered her health, she was in delicate condition. The young woman went out to look for work, wherever she went she was not accepted because she was very young. When she got home she told her mother that she was working. When she went to bed in the dark she cried silently.
At dawn she went out and began her job search, tired of visiting so many establishments, she sat down on the sidewalk, rested for half an hour, then crossing the street, she noticed that they had set up a circus, with an advertisement that said "Acrobats wanted, male".
She approached saying "Good morning, good morning, is anyone here?". She saw a handsome man, with a turban covering his head, he started to advance towards her as soon as he was close he held out his hand. "Lots of Taste , my name is Richard, I am the Director of the circus," what do you want? Replied the young woman, "Nice to meet you, my name is Flower of Lis. I am here because of the advertisement that has been published." Richard answered, "Can't you read?", she replied all shaky "Yes I can read, I am a woman, I have many skills as an acrobat, I also dance flamenco, I can offer a performance to the public, better than a man, I dare you to test me" The Director tells her "actually the vacancy is for a man, but since tomorrow is the performance I will give you only one chance" Richard just wanted to see her fail to laugh at her for a while.
She felt that she could falter from tiredness and hunger, arming herself with strength and courage, for the need she had, she began to do the acrobatic test, she remembered as a child the jump she performed into the void, falling on her feet culminating with a Flamenco dance, she put it into practice. Richard was silent for a few seconds and broke with an excited shout "! Bravo, Bravo, what a beautiful show." At the end of the test, Richard told her "you are hired, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow from 5 pm. At this place.
That day she returned home a little late and told her mother that she had found a job in the area she had always dreamed of. From her mother's eyes two tears slid down her cheeks. Flower of Lis hugged and kissed her, telling her "Calm down mother, we will stop being in need. Don't wait for me tonight."
She arrived at the appointed time, and after some time, the circus was full of people waiting for the first performance to begin. The Director announced the presentation of Flower of Lis 'acrobat' and her Flamenco dance. She was a little nervous, her hands were shaking, she was a very brave young woman, she knew she had to keep her composure for everything to go well. She was wearing red pants tight to her body. With a blouse with sleeves ending in faralao. When she made her presentation and greeted the audience, the circus was shaking with applause and phrases Bravo, Bravo! Flower of Lis, Flower of Lis! As soon as he began his acrobatic session, ending with his flamenco dance. The audience shouted "Flower of Lis Living, Flower of Lis Living". The show was a great success. When the whole audience left, the director told her "we are leaving for Spain in 15 days, I invite you to come with us.
She made the proposal to her mother that she would use the circus as a springboard to acquire fame and money. I will send you your remittance. Her mother replied "go and fly high, until you achieve your goal". Soon after, he left for Spain. When he arrived, they set up the circus and began the performances, Flower of Lis' performance ran like a burst of shooting stars spreading throughout the universe. Mr. Charles Torres, owner of an internationally recognized Flamenco, Dance Academy. He went to the circus attracted by the comments of the performance of this young woman as a Flamenco Dance Acrobat. When he observed the way this young woman performed this dance, he was ecstatic. He asked the Director for an interview with her, capturing her for his academy, from that moment, Flower of Lis acquired fame, fortune and prestige at international level for being the only Flamenco dancer with an acrobatic style, thus achieving his dream.
