Once upon a time there was a child ready
to be born. The child asked God, "How am I
,going to live there' being so small .and helpless?"
God replied, "Among the many angels, I
chose one for you. Your angel will be wait-
.ing for you and will take care of you."
The, child further inquired, "But tell me,
here in heaven I don't have to do anything but
sing and smile to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you
and will smile for you every day. You will
feel your angel's love and be very-happy."
Again the child asked, It And how am I going
to be able to understand when people talk
to me if I don't know the language?"
, God said, "Your angel will t'ell you the
most beautiful and sweet:words you will ever
hear, and with much patience and care, your
angel will teach you how to speak."
: "I've heard that on Earth there are bad
men: Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you
even if it means risking its 'life."
"But I will always be sad because I will
not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to
you about me and wilt teach you the way to
come back to me, even though I will always
be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in
heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard
and- the child hurriedly asked. "God, please
tell me my angel's name.
God said, "Her name is not important.
You will simply can her Mom."
