Imagine a very small town where there is a lady who has two sons, one 19 and one daughter, 14.

"Dunno, but I woke up with the gut that something serious will happen to this town. "
The son is going to play pool, and when they will pull a cannon very simple, the other player says,
'I bet you a weight that you do not. " Everyone laughs. He laughs. Throw
carambola and does not. Pay all your weight and ask him what happened, whether it was a simple fluke, and he answers:
'is true, but I was worried about one thing my mother told me this morning
about something serious will happen to this people '.
all laugh at him, and he has earned his weight back to his home, where he is with his mother, happy with her weight and says I beat
Damaso this weight in the easiest way because it is a fool.
Why is a fool?,
Because he could make a very simple fluke, as he worried about the idea that his mom woke up today with the idea that something serious will happen in this town.
And his mother told him
'Do not mock the old foreboding because sometimes they leave. "
A relative who was hearing this and going to buy meat and the butcher says:
'Give me a kilo of meat', and when that is cutting, he says,
Best cut off my two, because they are saying something serious will happen and it is best to be prepared '.
Butcher dispatches his flesh and when another woman comes to buy a kilo of meat, he says,
'better take two, because people come here saying that something serious will happen, and are preparing and buying things. "
Then the old woman replied:
'I have several children, better give me four kilos ...'
It takes four kilos, and to make a long story, tell the butcher in the meat half an hour runs out, kill another cow, sold everything and be spreading the rumor.
comes a time when everyone in town is waiting for something to happen. Activities are stopped and suddenly at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Someone says
Have noticed the heat that is doing?
But if this town has always been hot! However

But at two in the afternoon is when it is warmer.
Yes, but not as hot as today.
The people all alert, and the deserted square, low, suddenly a bird and spread the word:
'A bird in the square. " And the whole world is horrified to see the bird.
But, gentlemen, "says one has always been birds that come down here.
Yes, but not at this time.
comes a moment of such tension to the villagers, they are all desperate to leave and not have the courage to do so. Yes I am

Grab your furniture, your children, your pets, put them in a cart and go through the main street where all the people you see.
Until we all say:
"If they dare, then let us also."

And one of the last to leave the village, says:
'Do not come the misfortune to fall on what remains of our house,' and then the other ignite fire and also their homes. Huyen
a tremendous and real panic, as in an exodus of war, and among them is the woman who had the sign, he tells his son that is his side: "Did you see M'hijo

· Be POSITIVE.
• Try to build with vision and not to destroy what we have.
"IF WE TALKING AND THINKING ABOUT THE CRISIS, Undoubtedly this will become stronger." THINK
