The Boy Who Talked to God
Journey with John, a ten-year-old boy in Brazil, as he faces a mysterious drought affecting his village. Armed with unshakable faith and a rosary, John learns invaluable lessons of wisdom and determination through a series of challenges, ultimately discovering the power of love and perseverance.
In a small village in Brazil, a ten-year-old boy named John noticed that the river that gave life to their crops had dried up. The villagers were worried, for without water, their plants would wither, and their animals would have nothing to drink. John, clutching his rosary, decided to pray for guidance. - What can we do? John asked his mother. - We must have faith, she replied, but John knew he needed to do more.
Determined to solve the problem, John set out to find the source of the river's trouble. He ventured into the forest, hoping to discover why the river had stopped flowing. As he walked deeper into the woods, he was stopped by thick, thorny bushes blocking his path. - I have to find a way through, he thought. But the thorns were sharp, and his hands were getting scratched.
After finally making it through the thickets, John stumbled upon an old bridge that had collapsed, blocking the river's flow. He tried to move the heavy stones, but it was too much for him alone. - I can't do this by myself, John sighed, feeling defeated. He sat on the riverbank, tears welling in his eyes. - Why won't anyone help me?
Feeling overwhelmed, John sat alone, contemplating giving up. - Maybe I'm not strong enough to fix this, he whispered to the trees. His heart felt heavy, and his faith wavered for the first time. He held his rosary tightly, trying to find comfort. - What do I do, God? he asked, looking up at the sky.
Just then, an elderly woman appeared by the riverbank, smiling warmly. - Why so glum, young one? she asked. John explained his troubles, and she nodded thoughtfully. - Sometimes, the answer lies within, she said, pointing to his heart. Inspired, John realized he needed the village's help to move the stones.
With renewed determination, John returned to the village to gather help. He explained the situation to the villagers, who quickly joined him at the river. Together, they moved the stones, and the river flowed freely once more. - Thank you, everyone! John cheered. His heart swelled with gratitude and wisdom, knowing love and teamwork could overcome any obstacle.
