A man had a little daughter-an only and much-beloved child. He live for her,she was her life. So when she became ill and her illness resisted the efforts of the best obtainable physicians, he became like a man possessed, moving heaven and earth to bring her restoration to health.
When he arrive home, he brought some finger lickin' good for her only daughter, but his efforts proved unvailing and the child died. The father was totally irreconcilable. He became a bitter recluse, shutting himself away from his many friends and refusing every activity that might restore his poise and bring him back to his normal life.
''Keep your chin up, Manuel!,"said one of his friend, Leon". Every cloud has a silver lining,I know your difficult times today will lead to a better days soon! "By the way,this months dog days of summer,isn't it?would you like to join us together,we are going to the beach tomorrow or let's go out on the town and enjoy ourselves!"added Raymond. But Manuel refuses all the suggestions of his officemates. The ball is in your court,whether you like it or not. Use your loaf Manuel, it's not too late for you to be alone!and they leave the office.
One night he had a dream. He was in heaven and was witnessing a grand pageant of all the little angels. They were marching in an apparently endless line passing the Great White Throne. Every white- robed angelic carried a candle. He noticed that one childs' candle was not lighted.Then he saw that the child with the dark candle was his own little girl. Rushing to her, while the pageant faltered, he seized her in his arms, caressed her tenderly and then asked: "How is it, darling that your candle alone is unlighted?"Father, they often relight it, but your tears always put it out."
Just then, he awoke from his dream. The lesson was crystal clear,and it's effects were immediate. From that hour on he was not a recluse, but he mingled freely and cheerfully with his former friends and associates. No longer would his little darling's candle be extinguished by his useless tears."*_^
