The Story of Helly part 2/7
One evening a wise old man
from a distant city came to visit
Helly’s mother. She told the old man how Helly bothered everyone, even the dog, and how nobody liked her. The old man thought for a while and then said: “You know, I think your daughter doesn’t appreciate her home and her
neighborhood. If she did, she wouldn’t
be always bothering everyone. The trouble is that she has never been sad
and unhappy because she was
lonely. Now, I think you should send her somewhere far
from home where she would be by herself and very, very lonely.”
Helly’s mother
laughed and said: “How could I send her away? Where could I send
her to be lonely?
Is there a place where no one could hear her voice and her crying?
Where? Where?”
