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…’

Essa foi boa!! Que amigo generoso !! Até mais
now that’s a friend :-) no incrimination, guilt givin or anger. just generosity and understanding :-) i like this tale!
Very special! I think the boy who took the chocolate, his tempation took the best of him and was too shy to ask. I think the provider knew that and he wanted him to have the cholate and was just waiting for his friend to confess because he knew his friend had a good heart <3
Am blessed to b trained by one such..
Ah, il cioccolato, che tentazione!
Se poi un amico ti aiuta pure a rubarlo più facilmente è una doppia delizia: cioccolato ed amicizia vanno bene insieme. Anche senza rubarlo, semplicemente chiedendolo, che secondo me è meglio.
Ma si sa che le fragole rubate sono più gustose, specie quando si è bambini.
Anch’io da piccola ho rubato qualche fragola e qualche ciliegia, ma mai il cioccolato.
Forse perchè i miei amici non portavano il cioccolato a scuola, forse perchè non avrei mai messo le mani nel loro zaino.
Le ciliegie rubate dalla pianta sono forse più giustificabili, mettere le mani in uno zaino sa più di un furto maldestro.Più deplorevole.
Tuttavia è esilarante la risposta dell’amico derubato, che è un vero amico in quanto sa perdonare la piccola mancanza.
me piace sua maniera de escrivire, la descrizione.
“il cioccolato , che tantazione”
“Una doppia delizia”

grazie
such a kind friend!
The chocolate provider might be having a different idea behind keeping his friend pleased! This friend could be stronger or more intelligent than him and so to keep him tagged with him makes sense for him!
Hmmmmmm! You have a point there,dear Amal;)
Agree with you on that.
Love

Lovely story. Many thanks…
La historia seria muy bella si no hubiera que analizar tanto , un verdadero amigo te corrige en los herrores ,aunque sea un chocolate, entonces cual es la enseñanza… darles pescado en lugar de enseñarle a pescar
Compassionate and forgiving friend…I thought I have nothing more to give and felt I’m already depleted…but when you see children that are in need…somehow, you have this courage to give without expecting anything in return.
me i like the reaction of the other boy
he was very smart so he succeed to correct and make the one who stole the chocolate responsible for his act
without any violence or bad manners
I think it is the real answer
too funny.. a good example for brothers and sisters =)
its hard to call this sweet,poignant etc coz at the moment I am replacing the word chocolate with the word love… and it just doesn’t add up to poignant,sweet etc unrequited love is painful.draining.r human beings really capable of unconditional love(eros)?? i can understand fraternal,filial n agape love being unconditional but eros??
Sai amizade e bellissima, basta dar il peso justo e crewdere.buon giorno Paulo.
This wonderful short story portrays that there is more to the world than meets the eye. Relationships are not black and white and neither are our deeds. In a world of black and white, stealing is a crime time and time again. “I steal and therefore I am bad”. But in the example of the story, the deed of stealing enabled the boy whose chocolates were stolen to act with love and compassion and by this example, the stealer was able to learn the meaning of love and compassion. We act on how we perceive and how we act, bestows a choice upon others, who can choose to be like us or the opposite of us. But the choice to think and act differently is always there.
Very, very nice written!

Thankyou Paulo and Dhruv!
all what you give, you will got, and much moore:)
Aww, true friendship. :)
So nice…
I am in choc!
Such a good friend…I love chocolate. I heard the saying that everything that is forbidden has a better taste…Stealing was a trasgession, thats why maybe chocolate tasted better. I think a piece of sweet is ok, the sin would be some serious stuff, and unfortunately I met people who did such even if I offered them lot of free things. And is the case of close relatives.
Dear Alexandra,
A perfect quote ;) :D :D

Love,
sheela
the lesson of my life: thanks a lot of for that
When we share the surplus that we have with others, it not only prevents theft but also keeps the abundance of the universe circulating within and around us!!!
Love
Sweet… I wish I develop such a level of friendship and generosity
Isn,t it an IRANIAN story paulo?by the way it was nice.
que bellooooooooo me encantaaaaaaa
QUIEN ROBA UN CHOCOLATE ES CAPAZ DE LLEGAR A ROBAR UNA PASTELERIA. asi que el amigo debe ensenarle a pedir y no a seguir robando.
Loved the story. I’m like the boy with the chocolates.
that’s what parents and best friends will do.. and we are so ignorant about it..
This is cute and sweet and poignant all at the same time.
Many grandmothers do the same thing, they set out the cookie jar a place with easy access, for the children to be able to help themselves, when strict parents prohibit sweets.
Love is patient, love is forgiving, and love is giving.
Perfect love at all.
:)
Bello cuento, “Amistad” facil tener amigos, dificil conservarlos. “No es mas rico el que guarda el primer peso que gano, sino el que conserva el primer amigo que tuvo”. Sr. Coelho, mis respetos
this story really makes me smile… :)
Me gustaria ser como el de la mochila. Poder llenarla de todo lo que me pudieran robar …y sobre todo con consentimiento. Ahh pero como saber quien lo necesita? DE VERDAD.
el tiempo que pasamos con nuestros amigos es lo q los hacen tan importantes,cada recuerdo vivido es una huella impregnada en el alma; por eso es que la verdadera amistad es tolerante,generosa y sobretodo comprensiva como la de estos dos amigos. sr. Paulo Cohelo lastima que no guste de los chocolates en la noche. Dios lo bendiga siempre.yoryina.Boston,Mass
Que hermosa historia, me encanto, una amistad increible.
chocolates is a symbol of true love :)
buenisimas todas esas frases q aparecen
short , sweet but heart touching….
thank you for the story!
aawwww!!!! I want a friend just like him C:
We should praise great deeds of love, sharing and compassion..
but the behavior of stealing should be reminded of, and dissuade…
that’s the real love..
Owwnn… Que fooofo!
Beautiful friendship the one that gives love with an open heart.
Awesome !!
