32. THE SELLER OF HOPE by Janni Rodari Ако можех да имам едно магазинче със две полички, бих продавал…познайте какво? - Надежда! Надежда за всички. “ Купете! С отстъпка за вас! Всеки трябва надежда да има!” И на всеки бих давал аз, колкото трябва за трима. А на тоз, който няма пари и само отвънка поглежда, бих му дал, без да плаща дори, всичката своя надежда.
