It might just be curiosity, but when you look different, people may ask you "where are you from?" And even if you've lived "here" all your life like most of your friends, they may may ask "where are you really from?" They may want to know where your dad is from or where your mother is from or maybe the family before them. A young brown girl asks her dear Abuelo and after thinking for awhile, her grandpa tells her about the Pampas in Argentina, about the gaucho cowboys that raised cattle and wheat, and the beautiful Caribbean islands. But still she isn't satisfied with his answer, so he points to his heart and says "You're from here, from my love and the love of all those before us, from those who dreamed of you because of a song sung under the Southern Cross or the words in a book written under the light of the North Star."
