A long time ago, on a sad winter day, a boy of about 8 years old, alone and shivering from the cold, was sitting on a bench in the garden of a city. He must have been very cold, because the coat on him was thin, and the trousers had two big holes at the knees! - Her lips were aubergine and her thin face was yellow as wax. She must have been very upset, because she was crying and from time to time she looked up at the SKY covered with clouds. Many had passed by him without caring about him. - Once upon a time, an old gentleman approached him and said to him in a warm voice: "What are you doing there, little one? - Are you waiting for someone? Yes, sir, said the little boy. I am waiting for GOD to come and look for me. - What do you mean, cutie! are you sick Do you think you're going to die? No, but last year, HE sent for my father and my youngest brother to have them in HIS house in HEAVEN. - And yesterday, at the hospital, my mother told me like this, that she is also leaving there and that GOD will not leave me in any way. Now, he adds, drowning in tears, I have no one to hug me and feed me. And look, it's been so long since I look up at HEAVEN, to see if GOD is coming, but I see nothing. - However, GOD will come of course, if I wait for him a little longer, Isn't that so, sir? Yes, dear child, said the gentleman, wiping away her tears. No one waits for GOD in vain! - HE sent me to take care of you. Come with me, I won't let you go without anything. The little boy's eyes shone with joy. And on his face there was light, like a flash of victory. - He said happily, wiping his tears, I knew well, he said, that GOD would come, or send someone, because my mother never told lies. - But how late you were on your way and how long I had to wait for you! MORAL! - "Do not leave your hand outstretched, because even God will not leave you in the day of your trouble"! - "Share your bread with the hungry, for this pleases Me, says the Lord".
