The Sweetest Strawberry:
A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger.
He fled, the tiger after him.
Coming to a precipice,
he caught hold of the root of a wild vine
and swung himself over the edge.
The tiger sniffed at him from above.
Trembling, the man looked down to where,
far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him.
Only the vine sustained him.
Two mice, one white and one black,
little by little started to gnaw away the vine.
The man then saw a luscious strawberry near him.
Grasping the vine with one hand,
he plucked the strawberry with the other.
How sweet it tasted.

They knew that it was a mortal sin to marry
someone of a different skin color.

for future generations.

to represent the kind of legacy
you want to leave to future generations.

We need silence to be able to touch souls.

in whom is embodied all goodness,
and who directs all things for the good of his children.
