A PARABLE OF LOVE

 Day after day, a stranger walked from city to city. He was not attracted to the splendor and noise of luxury and wealth. He was always looking for a home to find warmth and peace. And now it was getting dark when he arrived in the small town and started looking for a place to spend the night. He walked down a wide street, stopped in front of a house. Cheerful music came from inside, silhouettes of beautiful women could be seen in front of the huge window, and merry laughter could be heard. He tried to open it and entered, but two huge dogs came at him, jagged and evil, and he hurried away. He reached another house, but when he entered, he was blown away by the steamy, unpleasant stagnant air, it was dirty and untidy everywhere. The mistress, sullen and disheveled, shot him with her cold eyes and seemed to ask him: "Only I miss you now!" and he hurried out. So he reached the end of the city and stopped in front of a small gate, the path from which led to a white, neat house, whose window was lit. The stranger decided and entered. When he walked on a spring evening, the blossoming hyacinths, tulips, and daffodils seemed to greet him on the side of the path with their dewdrops. It smelled of blooming lilacs all around. The window was ajar and the spring breeze swayed the white curtain. Inside, the warm rays of the fireplace illuminated the face of a young woman and her child who were having dinner. Everything around was clean and tidy with a lot of taste. This was a single woman, a widow who lived here with her orphan. The tramp decided and knocked on the door. She quickly jumped up, opened it and saw that HE was standing on the threshold. Then their eyes met, something in his chest steamed and he realized that it was SHE. With his strong male hands he wrapped his arms around her tender body, and she raised her white hands and wrapped his arms around him - she had been waiting for him for so long ... Her little son pressed his body against the stranger's long, dusty robe and felt that this uncle was very good man! And outside, the moon, which had seen all this, smiled and shyly hid behind a cloud. The stars twinkled even brighter - the sky, the cosmos held their breath, time stopped in front of this beautiful picture! In this happy hour HE and SHE were happy, because at last their souls found happiness in their home!
