My dear friend Tony

Tony and pretinha met in childhood, at that time, his mother was already a widow and lived in the house of Joseph's parents. Things for a widowed woman excluded from society were very difficult especially at that time, but luckily, Fulô met Kim , a full-fledged young man, the eldest son of a wealthy, powerful and well-known slaveholder in the city. His younger brother was named Tony, (Pretinha 's friend). Kim, like her, thought that slaves had to have a life just like white people, after all, they were black people, but that didn't set them apart from anything. Kim was not prejudiced and occasionally asked her father what was the reason for so much injustice. His father just looked and took a deep breath and said nothing. Kim right away liked Dona Fulô and they started a romance and got married. The families got to know each other, but they didn't have much contact, after all, wasn't it good for a reputation for a slave master to have intimacy with an excluded young woman who lived with black people, was it? But even with all these differences, Kim's parents liked Fulô, and even let Tony be friends with his daughter. Tony and Pretinha went to school together, read, talked, reviewed books together, had lunch ... And their friendship grew with each passing day. No one but those involved welcomed this approach, especially Fulô's father ... to him, that was a shame, a demoralization, but who said everyone needs to agree? Tony was very fond of teasing Pretinha, not out of harm, but to see her scold him, because somehow she was special, more than a sister, a close friend of heart, they had a lot in common. Tony also talked to Kim about Isabel, after all, he was the only one in that house who understood him, he only had one but ... Whenever Kim said that Tony liked her, he frowned:

Of course not Kim, this is never, Isabel is my friend ... FRIEND and will not pass it, has no chance.

- Oh yes? I also said that about Fulô and look what happened.

- Oh my brother, this is different, completely different.

- I see no difference, but if you say ...

- Afffff Kim, let's change the subject, imagine if this reaches Isabel's ear, Goodbye Friendship
