Once upon a time when the weather was cold and the period was called Christmas, two poor families who were living side by side in the streets helping each other with food, money that they somehow got. The elders of those two families were not eating much and giving it to their beloved children. Although the families helped each other but one of the families lost their hope and they were saying so to their kids, that one they soon enough they will die from hunger and cold. The children started crying, because they did not believe what their parent trying to consume them. The other family always advising to never lose hope and maybe one day that the fantasy and the dream will come true. They lived like one family.
One day a good looking man who was also rich was walking trough that street. When he reached to the families he wanted to speak with them and know there story. After he knew about the horrible thing that the families went trough said “I wished I could help you, but I’m sure your wish will come true. People say that Christmas is when the magic happens.” The man turned around and with the corner of his eye he saw that the kids were holding pillows and he wanted to ask one more question. “Are those pillows yours?” The children at once answered “This pillows are the only things left from our burned houses, so we don’t want them to be gone and we are holding them tight so we don’t lose them, even and night we put our heads on them and sleep, so no intruder can take them away.” The man smiled and whispered “It will”. Turned around and left.
Finally the day of the Old Year to pass and the New Year come every one was happy even the kids of those two families, but the parents from one of the families where preying for a miracle and a fantasy to become reality, but the other parents where acting that they where happy, but from the inside they where hopeless. The night finally came and the two families went to sleep and as the kids said they were sleeping on their pillows.
And suddenly from between two buildings a man appeared and he was wearing a hat so it was hard to realize the identity of the person. The man slowly and carefully walked to the two families and took keys and a note out of his pocket. Slowly the man put the keys and the note under on of the kids pillows and left.
The next morning the families woke up and the kid immediately realized strange objects under the pillow. She took the note and the keys, started to read the note “You may not remember me, but we met once and that once was enough to make me help you. Those are keys for a house and the address is written below. This is my Christmas gift to you.” And an address was given bellow. The kid showed it to her parents. After her parents read the note, the young girl whispered something to her older brother and they both at once said “We lived together and helped each other for ten years and this time we will help you and we will still live together like one family in our new house. The hopeless family teared up and tried to say “But”. And the other family said “Shhh. I’ts okay, don’t worry about. The day will come and you will help us.” The two families started walking to their new house and they finally arrived. They opened the door and saw a supply of ten years: clothing, food, water and heating source and of course technology that will help them: fridge, TV, oven and so on. The two families that where now “a family” started tearing up, and the hopeless but happy parents whispered “so this is the power of hope”.
And so the fantasy and the dream became true.
Moral: It does not matter how the person looks from the outside, it’s important how the person looks from the inside. Hope will always be by your side, you just need to believe and feel it’s presents and when you do every thing is possible.
