               The 
              violin 
              To a sale to the pole, the town crier lifted a 
              violin.   
              It was dirty, scratched and splintery.   
              The ropes hung you loosen and the town crier thought  
              you/he/she was not worth the punishment   
              to waste so much time with the old violin,  but it lifted him/it 
              with a smile.   
              "That offer you do me, gentlemen"? it shouted.   
              "We depart from ...50 European"!.   
              " 55"! it said a voice.   
              Then sixty.   
              " 65"! another said.   
              Then seventy.   
              "Seventy European, one; seventy European, two; seventy  
              European...."   
               From the fund of the room a man from the grey hair advanced and 
              taken the bow.   
              With the handkerchief it dusted the old violin, extended the 
              loosened ropes, it grasped him/it  with energy and it played a 
              pure and sweet melody as the song of the angels.   
              When the music stopped, the town crier, with a calm and low voice 
              it said:   
              "How much you offer me for the old violin"?.   
              And it lifted him/it together with the bow.   
              "Five hundred, and who says thousand European? Thousand!   
              And who says 1500?   
              1500, one;   
              1500, two;    
              1500 and three, awarded"! the town crier said.   
              People applauded, but some asked:   
              "What you/he/she has changed the value of the violin"?.   
              Ready the answer came:   
              "The Teacher's touch"!.   
              If in some circumstance of the life it is found again there    
              as old violins, useless, dirty, scratched and splintery;  
              no fear.   
              We have a certainty: we are able to make marvelous things.  
                 
              Enough "the Teacher's touch"....   
              Good Week!
