Однажды мужчина построил дом. Он знал, что долг каждого человека — построить дом, посадить дерево и вырастить ребенка. Поскольку у него не было семьи, он решил, что пора ему иметь хотя бы крышу над го­ловой. Дом был маленький, удобный и милый. Хозя­ин подумал, что если он пригласит всех своих друзей, то они смогут вместе отметить новоселье. Друзья при­ехали, осмотрели дом, и каждый сказал что-то свое. Один из них отметил, что дом мог бы быть побольше, другой заявил, что он сожалеет, что потолки такие низкие. Третьему было жаль, что кресла такие неудоб­ные. Конечно, хозяину дома все это не понравилось, но он и вида не показал. Он выглядел так, словно нисколько не возражал против этой горькой правды, словно он и сам знал все это с самого начала. Он знал, что необходимо, чтобы все приличия были соблюде­ны. Он опасался, что его друзья, которых он знал мно­го лет, обидятся. Однако когда гости покидали его ма­ленький, но гостеприимный дом, он сказал: «Да, мой дом действительно очень маленький, но как бы я хо­тел заполнить этот дом хорошими и верными друзь­ями!»

"Mai, you are still so very young, and I simply won't allow you to become a mere vegetable, a blob sitting around doing nothing except mourning and feeling sorry for yourself. It's vital that you mourn, yes. We must do that, we must get the grief out. But I can't, I won't permit you to throw your future away." "Do I have a future, Diana?" "Oh, yes, you do. That's another thing you have to gain. Your future. But you must reach out, grab life with both hands and start all over again. It will be the hardest thing you've ever had to do, but it will be worth it." "How would I begin again?" I asked, my mind starting to work in a more positive way. "First, I think you have to get yourself completely fit physically. You're far too thin, for one thing. You must start eating properly, and walking and exercising, so that you regain your strength, that vigor and energy of yours which I've always admired. And then you must think of the kind of job you'd like to find. You must work, not only because you need to earn money, but because you must keep yourself busy." I bit my lip and shook my head. "I realize I have to begin to support myself, and very quickly. I can't let my Mother and Dad go on helping me. But I don't have any idea what I could do. Or what I'm capable of doing, for that matter."
