Afra demanda a
Agizul :
Af. « Comment
sait-on que l’on est important… ? »
Ag. « Eh bien,
certains disent que si on a beaucoup de maisons, on doit être important,… ou
bien si on a beaucoup de noms. Tu vois, les chameaux sont si importants dans le
désert de la plupart des pays Arabes qu’il y a… 160 mots pour les décrire… ?
Mais pour nous les fennecs, il n’y a qu’un ou deux noms… donc nous devons être
moins importants… »
Af. « Hier, j’ai
rencontré un chameau près du point d’eau. Je lui ai dit : Tu as l’air si gros,
si important… Il m’a répondu "Et toi tu as l’air si petit…" et il a
continué a boire… Alors je lui ai dit que je paraissais peut-être petit, mais
c'etait peut-etre parceque j’ai été malade depuis deux semaines… »
Agizul sourit. «
Souvent ceux qui se savent ou se croient importants peuvent agir bizarrement et
ignorer ceux qu’ils rencontrent… »
Vous voulez vraiment être important aux yeux
des autres ? Est-ce si important que cela ? Est-ce qu’il ne serait pas plus
important de parler avec et d’aider ceux que vous rencontrez dans la vie ?
Afra asked Agizul: Af. “How do you know you are important…?”
Ag. “Well, some people say that if you have lots of homes you must
be important… or if you have lots of names. See, camels are so important in the
desert of most Arab countries that there are… 160 different words to describe
them…! But for us fennecs… only one or two different words to describe us…. So
we must be less important…”
Af. “Yesterday, I met a camel near the water hole. I told him: You look so big, so important… He answered me: You look pretty small yourself… and he continued drinking… So I told him that I may looked small, but it was probably because I have been sick these last two weeks…”
Agizul smiled. “Often those who know or think they are important, can act strangely and ignore the ones they meet…”
How important do you want to look for the others? Or is it that important?
Would not talking to and helping the ones you will meet in life be more important?
