1. 0:00My new house gets letters, but they
2. 0:01aren't for us. They all say the same:
3. 0:03for Ramón who lives here. No Ramón lives
4. 0:05in my house. Up in the attic window, the
5. 0:07curtain moved. We moved in on a Monday
6. 0:09and no one told us. On Tuesday, the
7. 0:11cookies disappeared.
8. 0:13On Wednesday morning, all our shoes were
9. 0:15in a row, like in a shop window.
10. 0:17On Thursday, the TV turned on by itself
11. 0:18.
12. 0:19At 3 in the morning, on a classic movie
13. 0:21channel, a wet toothbrush appeared in
14. 0:23the bathroom that no one used.
15. 0:24And on Friday, on the refrigerator, a
16. 0:26note: "Thanks for the milk." At school,
17. 0:28they called me the mailman because I
18. 0:30always carried letters for no one, and
19. 0:31the mayor stopped me on the sidewalk,
20. 0:33red-faced. "Since you arrived, everyone
21. 0:35is writing letters to a ghost."
22. 0:38>> That night the house went silent, then
23. 0:39footsteps inside the walls. I followed
24. 0:41the footsteps to the attic door. Through
25. 0:43the keyhole, an eye was watching me. It
26. 0:45blinked and went away. The next night,
27. 0:47from the garden, I looked at the little
28. 0:48attic window; there was someone very
29. 0:50tall, very thin, with his back turned,
30. 0:52arms so long they reached his knees,
31. 0:54never turning around. So I opened a
32. 0:55letter. Dear Ramón, thanks for fixing my
33. 0:57bike. And there were more, a train with
34. 0:59new wheels, a doll with its arm glued, a
35. 1:01stitched kite. Every morning, fixed toys
36. 1:03appeared at the doors in town. The
37. 1:05neighbor showed me an old photo. It was
38. 1:07my house with a sign. Ramón's Toy Shop.
39. 1:10Ramón fixed all the toys in town.
40. 1:13The mayor kicked him out to sell the
41. 1:15house.
42. 1:16We never saw him again.
43. 1:18>> In the background of the photo, the
44. 1:20mayor was nailing up a "Sold" sign. Then
45. 1:22I understood. Ramón never left. He kept
46. 1:24living in his house, hidden, and at
47. 1:25night he would go out over the roofs to
48. 1:27fix toys. That night I went up to the
49. 1:29attic with my flashlight, boxes, tiny
50. 1:30tools, and some enormous shoes. I moved
51. 1:32the light up some very long legs to a
52. 1:34face. A thin, pale old man from so much
53. 1:37hiding, hugging a broken teddy bear.
54. 1:39>> Sorry, this used to be my house.
55. 1:42>> He wasn't scary, he was sad. Do you want
56. 1:44to come down and have dinner with us?
57. 1:45That night Ramón ate three plates of
58. 1:47pasta, and between plates, he stitched
59. 1:48the teddy bear's ear. Now he lives with
60. 1:50us; my mom calls him Grandpa. The kids
61. 1:52from town bring their toys to the front
62. 1:54door. He doesn't have to go over the
63. 1:55roofs anymore. And the mayor, he also
64. 1:56received a letter. He opened it in the
65. 1:58square in front of everyone. Dear mayor
66. 2:00, I fixed your wig for you. Ramon. And
67. 2:02inside the envelope was his neatly
68. 2:04styled wig. That day the whole town knew
69. 2:06the mayor was bald, and the mailbox
70. 2:07stays full.
71. 2:08But now Ramon opens his letters at the
72. 2:10table with us. Give it a like and
73. 2:12subscribe. And leave a letter for Ramon
74. 2:13in the comments.
