The Seagull
A father was at the beach with his children when the four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to a place the shore where a seagull lay dead in the sand. "Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked. "He died and went to Heaven," the dad replied. The boy thought a moment as he and his father stood looking at the seagull. Finally the son said, "Why did God throw him back down?"
Esse pequeno texto me faz pensar sobre como a nossa infância nos faz ver o mundo ao nosso redor. Como os acontecimentos podem ter outra conotação. Recordo-me o dia em que decobri que Papai Noel era meu pai e minha mãe juntos tentando me manter no mundo da fantasia por mais tempo. Onde estará aquela criança que éramos nós?
