He was a big guy and he liked to play with others, always preaching small parts.
There was also Ernani, who was slightly older than the rest of the group. Always quiet, harmless, separate Ernani used to eat his lunch alone in a corner. He did not participate in the games we did after lunch, and, after finishing the meal, always sat alone under a tree farther.
Because of this behavior, Ernani was the natural target of jokes in the group.
But he found a frog in the pot, now a dead rat in his hat.
And what we thought was most amazing is that he always accepted it without getting angry.
In an extended holiday, Mauro decided to go fishing in the Pantanal. Before, we promised that if he could succeed, would give a bit of the result of fishing for each of us.
On his return, we were all very excited when we saw that he had caught some huge golden.
Mauro, however, took us aside and told us he had prepared a good piece to apply in Ernani.
Mauro had divided the gold, making packages with a good portion to each of us.
But the 'piece' was planned that he had separated the remains of fish in a larger package separately. 'It will be very funny when Ernani unwrap this' gift' and find bones, skins and guts! "Said Mauro us, which was already having fun with it.
Mauro then distributed the packets at lunch. Each one of us, who was opening the package containing her a nice portion of fish, then say, 'Thank you'. But the biggest package of all, he finally left. It was for Ernani.
All of us we were almost bursting with desire to laugh, and Mauro sported a special air of great satisfaction.
As always, Ernani was sitting alone on the far side of the big table.
Mauro then took the package over to him, and we were all in anticipation of what was to happen.
Ernani was not the kind of many words. He spoke so little, often not even noticed he was around. In three years, said he had probably not even a hundred words in all.
So what happened next caught us by surprise. He took the package firmly in the hands and stood slowly, with a big smile on his face.
He then noticed that his eyes were shining. For a few moments, his Adam's apple moved up and down, until he can control his emotion.
'I knew you would not forget me', said in a choked voice .- 'I know you're big guy and likes to play jokes, but always knew that you have a good heart. "
He gulped again, and continued talking, this time for us all: -
'I know I have not been very participatory with you, but never for evil intent.
You know ... I have five children at home, and an invalid wife, who four years ago is stuck in bed. And I know that she will never improve.
Sometimes when she gets sick, I have to stay up all night taking care of her.
And most of my wages have been to their doctors and medicine.
Children do what they can to help, but it has been difficult to put food on the table for everyone.
You may find it weird that I go eat my lunch alone in a corner ...
Well, is that I'm somewhat embarrassed, because most of the time I got nothing to put on my sandwich.
Or, like today, I only had one potato in my lunchbox.
But I want you to know that this portion of fish is really great for me.
Probably more than for any of you, because tonight my kids ...', he wiped tears from her eyes with the backs of hands. - 'Tonight my children will have, really, after a few years ...' and he began opening the package ...
We had been paying much attention in Ernani, as he spoke, that we had not even noticed the reaction of Mauro.
But now, everyone noticed his distress when he jumped and tried to grab the package from the hands of Ernani. But it was too late.
Ernani had already broken the wrapper and was now examining each piece of spine, each piece of skin and viscera, each raising a fish tail.
It was to have been so funny, but nobody laughed. All of us were looking down.
And the worst part was when Ernani, trying to smile, said the same thing we all had said earlier: - 'Thank you'. Silently, one by one, every one of his colleagues got your package and put it in front of Ernani, because after many years we had suddenly understood who was really Ernani.
A week later, the wife died of Ernani.
Each one of us, that group, then went to help the five children.
Mauro, now retired, continues to play, however, are of a very different kind:
He organized nine groups of volunteers distribute toys to hospitalized children and entertain with games, stories and other entertainment.
Sometimes we live for many years with one person, only then realizing that hardly know it.
Never given due attention, we have not shown any interest in her stuff;
ignoring their anxieties or their problems. May we always keep alive in our minds 'As Allah(cc) love you, you also should love one another. "
Each Ernani know the burden that carries ... , SO RESPECT THE WAY TO BE ON EACH ONE.
LET US. WORRY MORE WITH EACH OTHER,

LET'S US TO STOP WITH OUR PREJUDICE ABOUT WHO ARE SUFFERING, OR WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MEANS

Already happens you receive a gift, wrapping a beautiful package, with bows, ribbons and open the card , also, the box and this had the notes that was worth much less than the packaging?
On the other hand, you should have received a gift wrapped package in a simple, no dazzleand open and
the package had the pleasant surprise to find something precious.
