10 SEC READING: Chocolate

by Paulo Coelho on May 17, 2011

Two boys used to go to school together.

One of them had a bad habit of stealing the chocolates from his friend’s bag.

One day he felt guilty about what he was doing… So he wrote a letter as he didn’t have the courage to confess directly.
“I have been stealing your chocolates… I’m sorry for that…’

The other friend smiled reading it, and sent a letter back:

“Don’t worry. I know about it… That’s why I keep chocolates in the same place in my bag…’

Los niños nunca mienten, siempre son honestos ,sinceros ,cariñosos y comparten todo lo que tienen por que no son egoistas. Los adultos somos los que podemos dañar la vida de un niño para siempre queriendo que sea adulto antes de tiempo, no le permiten jugar, divertirse, mijarse bajo la lluvia esa etapa de ser niño es tan hermosa que el niño que llevamos dentro siempre esta en nuestro corazon.

Le chocolat

Deux garcons avaient l’habitude d’aller a l’ecole ensemble.

L’un d’eux avait la mauvaise habitude de voler les chocolats du cartable de son ami.

Un jour, il se sentit coupable de ce qu’il faisait.

Alors, il envoya une lettre comme il n’avait pas le courage de le confesser directement.

“J’ai vole tes chocolats…. Je suis desole pour cela.”

L’autre ami , en lisant, sourit et renvoya une lettre.

“Ne te fais pas de soucis. Je le sais. C’est la raison pour laquelle je laisse les chocolats au meme endroit dans mon cartable.”

Chocolates

Dos niños solían ir juntos a la escuela.

Uno de ellos tenía la mala costumbre de robar los chocolates de la bolsa de su amigo.

Un día se sintió culpable por lo que estaba haciendo … Así que escribió una carta que no tenía el valor de confesar directamente.
“He estado robando tus chocolates … Lo siento…”

El otro chico sonrió al leer la carta, y envió una carta de respuesta:

“No te preocupes. Yo sé que lo sientes… Es por eso que sigo colocando mis chocolates en el mismo lugar de la bolsa… “

How many people give without the other knowing. Do both benefit or just the giver

What a lovely story about so much love and friendship.
Chocolate; ahh, it awakens something in us!
You probably have seen the wonderful ‘Chocolat’ of
Lasse Hallstrom with the ravishing Juliette Binoche?

Apart from the unconditional friendship this story immediately made me think of that film.

Thank You.
