4. The first candle sighed
and said:
”My name is
Peace.
MY LIGHT BURNS, IT IS TRUE,
BUT PEOPLE DON’T CARE
ABOUT PEACE ANYMORE.“
Its little light was getting smaller and smaller till it completely blew out …
5. THE LIGHT OF THE SECOND
CANDLE SWUNG AND THE
CANDLE SAID:
”MY NAME IS FAITH,
BUT I’M NEEDLESS,
MANKIND DOESN’T WANT
TO HEAR ANYTHING
ABOUT GOD, THERE IS NO
SENSE FOR ME BURNING
ANY LONGER.”
A draught had blowed into the room and the second candle blew out…
6. THE THIRD CANDLE WHISPERED
SADLY:
”MY NAME IS LOVE.
I’VE NO STRENGTH
TO BURN ANY LONGER .
PEOPLE PUSHED ME ASIDE.
THEY SEE ONLY THEMSELVES
AND NOBODY ELSE
THEY SHOULD LOVE.”
And with the last oscillation also this light blew out…
7. AT THAT MOMENT A CHILD
ENTERED THE ROOM
IT LOOKED AT THE
CANDLES AND SAID:
„BUT YOU MUST BURN AND
NOT BE BLOWN OUT!“
And it was just about to cry…
8. WHEN THE FOURTH CANDLE
SAID:
”DON’T BE AFRAID!
AS LONG AS I’M SHINING,
WE CAN LIGHT THE OTHER
CANDLES AGAIN.
MY NAME IS HOPE!”
9. THE CHILD LIGHTED A MATCH FROM THIS
CANDLE AND MADE THE OTHER CANDLES
SHINE AGAIN.
10. A flame of hope
should never
blow out
of your life…
11. ...and each of us
should constantly
maintain the
flames of:
Peace
Faith
Love
and Hope.
