Fragile toys. Parable

In a certain village came and stayed for a long time wandering, the old and wise man.

It soon became obvious that he loves children and was willing to spend long hours with them. The children quickly became attached to him. He knew many fascinating stories and they heard about his travels with bated breath.

Residents quickly fell in love with this good man and appreciated his love for their children.

He did amazing things with your hands and a lot of different toys for children. And loved them to give them. But these gifts, each time getting more and more fragile, and no matter how trying the children to be careful with them, their new toys often broke.





The children were upset, and then wept bitterly, because the toys they liked. But passed some time, and their beloved friend again gave them toys, but they seemed even more fragile.

And now the time has come when the parents of the kids couldn't just watch children's suffering, their children and decided to talk to a good and wise man to whom everyone in the village is attached. They appreciated his kindness and attention of his children, but they couldn't see how every broken fragile toy, their children would spend hours crying and upset.

They gathered and came to the house of a kind man. They didn't want to offend him and tried to speak gently, to be properly understood.

— A lot of good you've brought into our lives with his appearance in our village. You are a wise and very kind. You're always welcome. We see that you wish our children only good. You're doing a beautiful toys for them, but they are very fragile for them! They try as they can, but toys still broken. Children very upset and crying then. But the toy is so beautiful that not to play with them is impossible.

The old man listened to them, paused and said:

— Years will pass, — the Wiseman smiled, — and in their life will appear someone, who will give his heart to them. And if in childhood they learn how to carefully handle fragile things favorite, over the years they can learn to handle this priceless gift, as someone's loving heart.published
