There is a legend that makes sooooooooooooo many years, a meeting was held in the house of Simón Bolívar and attended by his friends Francisco de Miranda, Luisa Cáceres de Arismendi and his teacher Simón Rodriguez. After talking so much and telling stories, they decided to go shopping in downtown Caracas and told the people of that time that by just presenting a ticket with their faces they could acquire a large number of goods and provisions, since they had a great reputation between the Venezuelan society ... they were seen in the tickets proud and happy, standing tall with their heads up as the highest representatives of society and they were for many years.

Thus they lived their happy and happy lives until the hour of their death when they left for eternity with the catholic promise that due to their high services to society they were going to be granted to resuscitate after 200 years ... and so they went in peace. ..

After two hundred years of rest, the four aforementioned figures are resurrected in Maduro's Venezuela, and they meet again to recollect with chats those heroic deeds of yesterday's Venezuela. And Luisa Cáceres de Arismendi wanted to eat a paper candy ... as the winery was not far from the place where they were decided to go alone to buy it and also to give their friends, he probably thought that showing the current ticket with his face would buy many ... perooooooooooooo a few minutes later he came back with this face ...

And he told his friends ... I could not buy them because they did not reach me with what I am, neither my life nor my honors to this country were enough to have enough economic value to acquire a simple candy ... then he told Simon good you walk that being the teacher of the liberator must be worth more than I ... The teacher got up from the chair and left for the warehouse returning a few minutes with this face:

And with a surprised face he says that incredible they did not even recognize me, a boy was making headbands with the tickets and I saw another one that made a small plane and threw it into the streets .. total that I could not buy anything ... Simón Rodríguez says then to Francisco de Miranda: You who fought in Europe, the United States and Venezuela, you also signed the act of independence and brought the National Flag .. to see if they remember you and give you the courage you deserve ... The Generalissimo got up from his chair and went off blowing his boots and loose white hair to return with this face:

Simón Bolívar got upset and told his four companions; I can not believe none of the three could compare a simple paper candy that is worthless ... I will go and bring many candies because they have to respect me, because I gave them freedom and founded the republic, freed the slaves and I gave them a rich nation and it thrives among many other things ... wait for me here ... I'm coming.

And so ends this story with the face of the deliverer in tears when he knows that the highest denomination ticket in his country is not enough to buy even a candy ... today in our Venezuela hyperinflation has completely finished the value of our paper currency reaching the degree of repudiation by the same society who bothers with the situation throws it against the ground, throws it in the trash or uses it to make decorative objects. It's a national tragedy but let's look at the humorous side of the situation and think that it will soon be over ... meanwhile we'll see each other in a next installment.
