The document is a poem by A.U. Saleem addressing someone who is feeling depressed, trapped, or on the edge of a precipice.

2. Un gestore di un negozio
affisse un cartello in vetrina
con su scritto
3. L ’annuncio attirò la
curiosità di un bambino .
Ben presto quel’ annuncio fece sorgere
delle domande, così che chiese:
Quanto costano
i vostri cuccioli?
4. Il negoziante rispose :
attorno ai 150€ - 200€.
Il piccolo frugò in tasca ,
e trovò qualche moneta...
Ho solo 2,37€ posso comprarne uno?
5. Il negoziante, sorridendo, chiamò con
un fischio la sua cagna
che gli corse incontro seguita
da cinque piccoli cuccioli
6. Ma uno dei cuccioli restò indietro, lontano.
Il piccolo lo guardò e domandò:
Di che cosa soffre questo cucciolo?
7. L ’uomo gli disse che alla nascita il veterinario
aveva trovato una malformazione all’anca
e che sarebbe rimasto zoppo per tutta la vita.
Il piccolo tutto entusiasta esclamò :
Lo compro!!
8. L ’uomo rispose: Non c ’è bisogno che lo compri
Se lo vuoi veramente te lo regalo!!
Il piccolo rimase attonito.
Guardò l ’uomo dritto negli occhi e disse :
Non voglio che me lo regaliate.
Questo cucciolo vale come gli altri,
e ve lo pagherò al suo giusto prezzo .
9. Vi do i 2.37€ adesso, e ogni mese
50cent fino a quando non avrò
finito di pagarlo
10. L ’uomo gli disse ::
Vuoi veramente comprare questo cane???
Non sarà mai capace di correre
di saltare e giocare.
Scegli un altro cucciolo da amare!
11. Allora il piccolo si chinò, alzo il lembo dei
pantaloni e mostrò la sua gamba storta e storpia,
sostenuta da una placca di metallo.
Guardò l ’uomo e disse:
Anch ’io non corro bene, e questo cucciolo
ha bisogno di qualcuno che lo può comprendere
12. L ’uomo con il nodo in gola e gli occhi lucidi
gli disse sorridendo...
Piccolo, spero che tutti questi cuccioli possano
avere un padrone come te
13. NELLA VITA POCO IMPORTA CHI SIETE
SE QUALCUNO VI APPREZZA
PER QUELLO CHE SIETE
E VI AMA INCONDIZIONATAMENTE.
UN VERO AMICO E COLUI CHE SI
AVVICINA QUANDO IL MONDO
SI ALLONTANA
