A Tale For The Soul: One of the children in a early childhood class asked: - Teacher ... what is love? The teacher felt that the creature deserved an answer that lived up to the intelligent question she had asked. As they were already at recess, he asked his students to walk around the schoolyard and bring things that they would invite to love or awaken in them that feeling. The little ones left in a hurry and when they returned, the teacher said to them: -I want everyone to show what they have found. The first student replied: -I brought this flower ... isn't it pretty? Next, another student said: - I brought this little bird pigeon that I found in a nest ... isn't it funny? And so the boys, one by one, showed the others what they had collected in the yard. When they finished, the teacher noticed that one of the girls had brought nothing and that she had remained silent while her classmates spoke. She was embarrassed to have nothing to teach. The teacher addressed her: -Very well, and you? Have you found nothing you can love? The girl, timidly, replied: - Sorry, sir. I saw the flower and felt its perfume, I thought about plucking it but preferred to leave it to exhale its scent for a longer time. I also saw soft butterflies, full of color, but they seemed so happy that I didn't try to catch any. I also saw the little pigeon in its nest, but ..., when climbing the tree, I noticed the sad look of its mother and preferred to leave it there ... So I bring with me the perfume of the flower, the freedom of the butterflies and the gratitude that I observed in the eyes of the mother of the little bird. How can I teach you what I have brought? The teacher thanked the student and excitedly told her that she had been the only one to notice that what we love is not a trophy and that we carry love in our hearts. Love is something you feel. You have to have sensitivity to live it.
