There was a woman called Dora, about 50 years old. After being a teacher, she started to work writing letters to people who did not know how to read or write at a train station. One day, while doing her job, a woman with a kid called Josue arrived. They asked her to write a letter to the kid's father.

After  the kid and his mom asked for Dora's services the lady with his son stopped at a traffic light close to the train station. The mother was crushed by a bus and Josue stayed alone.

Dora took Josue to her home. There, Josue discovered that she did not put the letters in the post office. and got mad at her.

The next day Dora got the kid to an adoption house where the kids were used as organ donors but after some hours she regretted her action and escaped with him.

They decided to make a trip. They bought the bus tickets in order to look for Josue's father. While they were travelling Dora and Josue got drunk. After noticing what had happened Dora tried to abandon Josue because she thought she was not a good company, but finally they got together once again. Then, they tried one more time and found a truck driver that would take them to Josue's father home. However,  Dora flirted with him but the driver was scared because he was a religious man and he felt uncomfortablef. So, the driver abandoned him in the middle of the road.

Josue and Dora continued walking and asked for a ride, they stopped in a little town but they run off money and they were hungry. In the town the people were celebrating a Saint's feast, there, Josue got an idea in order to get money. The idea was to write the country people prays to the Saint. They made enough money to look for Josue's father where he was supposed to live. Unfortunately, he was not there but his children were. They told Dora and Josue their father had left the house six months ago and he only left a letter for Anna, his wife, because he was sure she would come back.  Dora read the letter and everybody realised that Josue's father was indeed looking for Josue and his mother in Rio.

Dora realised Josue's brother were good people so did his father, and she decided to left him in that place with his family. She left the house without letting the boy notice her absence but she left him a letter explaining why she had gone. 

Relation with the text

This is a clear example of how people needs to communicate each other through writing. The person who knows how to write is consider an educated person and has a higher level in society, while people who do not write have limitations and are often left aside.
