Finally, after more than a year, I could leave with mommy to Mexico. I was very excited. Daddy took me to the airport and, much as I really wanted to go, I felt sad. I flew by myself to Vienna where mommy was waiting for me.

 

We went to an island in Yugoslavia. We ate ice cream on the beach. Then we stopped for a day in London, where I met a Hindu friend of hers. I think he was the one daddy told me about.

 

I remember that to amuse me he told me how they hunt tigers in India. He said that it was a custom to take a virgin to attract the lion. I looked at him suspiciously.
