Money could pay for Chloe’s studies … or a horse
The context of this image, which has become essential on all networks, is nevertheless banal. The mother wanted to surprise her two daughters by taking them to Disneyland. Seeing the amusement park, the older one then cried with joy. What worried his sister, the young Chloe, who did not understand what was going on. Hence his look now widely known. The money from the sale should pay for the girl’s education, her mother told the BBC. Even if for her part, her daughter, now 10 years old, would prefer a horse.
