Steffi era una niña de 10 años, vivía en el orfanato San Isidro desde que era una bebé.

Una fría noche de invierno, cuando la nieve lo cubría todo y la baja temperatura no era soportable, fue abandonada en la puerta de este edificio, gracias a su estrepitoso llanto y gritos de hambre y frío fue rescatada por las personas encargadas del lugar.

Ese orfanato era el único hogar que ella conocía y todos los que allí trabajaban, junto con todos los niños que, al igual que ella, habían sido abandonados en el lugar. Ellos eran toda su familia.

Ella era feliz allí rodeada de todos los niños que consideraba como sus hermanos, sentía mucho amor por la señora Doris "Nani" como le decían cariñosamente todos los niños, ya que ella les daba mucho amor, atenciones y cuidados y todos la veían como una madre.

En las mañanas asistían a la escuela, que estaba cerca y eran guiados por personal del orfanato y en la tarde jugaban hasta el cansancio y después de asearse, hacían los deberes escolares, luego cenaban y se retiraban a sus habitaciones. Era allí donde Steffi dejaba volar su imaginación, leyendo los cuentos de hadas que tenía en su colección de años de regalos de cumpleaños y haditas de tela, plástico y felpa que le regalaban en las navidades.

Ella creía en las hadas y siempre que las dibujaba les pedía que por favor se dejarán ver, ese era su mayor deseo.

Un día se fueron de excursión al bosque cercano, partieron en la mañana muy temprano para regresar antes que cayera la noche. Llevaron muchas cosas para jugar y mucha comida, fue un día fabuloso e inolvidable, se divirtieron demasiado.

Ya estaba cayendo la tarde y empezaron a recoger todo para regresar, fue en ese instante cuando Steffi sintió algo que la hizo separarse del grupo e ir caminando como hipnotizada adentrándose en el bosque, cuando el grupo se disponía a partir, se percataron de la ausencia de Steffi, entraron en pánico y comenzó la búsqueda.

Mientras qué esto pasaba, Steffi reaccionó muy lejos de donde estaban y en la oscuridad total, se sentó temblando de miedo y entre el llanto cerró los ojos y deseó que pudiera ver un hada que le alumbrará el camino de vuelta, y así pasó.

Ella abrió los ojos por el destello de luz, e impresionada vio ante ella una hadita hermosa que irradiaba tanta luz que alumbraba todo el lugar, era hermosa, perfectamente igual a las del libro, sus alas eran hermosas y Steffi quedó deslumbrada.

El hada hizo un montón de piruetas en el aire que la dejaron maravillada, no habló pero la guío con su luz hacia donde estaban todos, qué al no encontrarla volvieron al lugar donde pasaron el día.

Ellos vieron aparecer a Steffi de entre los árboles con un resplandor que la guiaba, pero no vieron la hadita, y se maravillaron con la historia que les contó Steffi y la aparición de su Hada de luz como ella la llamó, que la guío hasta ellos.

Steffi no volvió a ver a su amiguita para agradecerle, pero está quedó grabada en su mente y en su corazón.

Steffi was a 10-year-old girl, living in the San Isidro orphanage since she was a baby.

One cold winter night, when the snow covered everything and the low temperature was not bearable, she was abandoned at the door of this building, thanks to her loud cries and cries of hunger and cold was rescued by the people in charge of the place.

That orphanage was the only home she knew and all those who worked there, along with all the children who, like her, had been abandoned there. They were all her family.

She was happy there surrounded by all the children she considered as her siblings, she felt much love for Mrs. Doris "Nani" as all the children affectionately called her, since she gave them much love, attention and care and they all saw her as a mother.

In the mornings they attended school, which was nearby and they were guided by the orphanage staff and in the afternoon they played until they were tired and after washing up, they did their homework, then they had dinner and retired to their rooms. It was there that Steffi would let her imagination run wild, reading the fairy tales she had in her years-old collection of birthday presents and little fabric, plastic and plush fairies she was given at Christmas.

She believed in fairies and whenever she drew them she always asked them to please be seen, that was her greatest wish.

One day they went on an excursion to the nearby forest, leaving very early in the morning to return before nightfall. They took many things to play with and lots of food, it was a fabulous and unforgettable day, they had so much fun.

It was getting late in the afternoon and they began to gather everything to return, it was at that moment when Steffi felt something that made her separate from the group and walk as if hypnotized into the forest, when the group was about to leave, they noticed Steffi's absence, they panicked and began to search for her.

While this was happening, Steffi reacted far away from where they were and in total darkness, she sat down trembling with fear and between crying she closed her eyes and wished she could see a fairy that would light her way back, and so it happened.

She opened her eyes from the flash of light, and impressed she saw before her a beautiful little fairy that radiated so much light that it lit up the whole place, she was beautiful, perfectly like the ones in the book, her wings were beautiful and Steffi was dazzled.

The fairy made a lot of pirouettes in the air that left her amazed, she did not speak but guided her with her light to where everyone was, and when they did not find her they returned to the place where they had spent the day.

They saw Steffi appear from the trees with a glow that guided her, but they did not see the little fairy, and they marveled at the story Steffi told them and the appearance of her Fairy of light as she called her, who guided her to them.

Steffi never saw her little friend again to thank her, but she was etched in her mind and heart.
