The four candles were burning
slowly. They started talking to each other.
The first one said, “I am
Peace! Due to constantly increasing breeze, I’m unable to show the way” and it
turned off.
The second one said, “I am
Faith! Most of all, I am no longer indispensable, so it doesn’t make any sense
that I stay lit any longer.” When it finished talking, a breeze softly blew on
it putting it out.
Sadly, the third candle
spoke in its turn: “I am Love! I haven’t got the strength to stay lit. People
put me aside and don’t understand my importance.” And waiting no longer it goes
out.
Suddenly, a child entered into
the room and saw three candles were not burning.
“Why are you not burning?
You are supposed to stay lit till the end.” Saying this, the child begins to
cry.
Then the fourth candle
said: “Don’t be afraid, while I am still burning we can re-light the other
candles, I am Hope!”
With shining eyes, the child took the candle
of hope and lit the other candles.
