\u2014 Radu, ce faci cu banii de la ziua ta? m\u0103 \u00eentreab\u0103 mama, \u00een timp ce \u00eemi aranjeaz\u0103 c\u0103ma\u0219a cea bun\u0103, preg\u0103tindu-m\u0103 pentru \u0219coal\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M\u0103 uit la ea cu ochii mari, str\u00e2ng\u00e2nd \u00een pumn plicul galben pe care scria \u201eLa mul\u021bi ani!\u201d cu litere st\u00e2ngace. \u00cen mintea mea, banii aceia erau pentru o minge nou\u0103 sau poate pentru un set de carioci cu miros de fructe. Dar azi, ceva m\u0103 ap\u0103sa pe suflet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mami, pot s\u0103-i dau lui Darius? \u00eentreb \u00eencet, aproape \u0219optit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mama se opre\u0219te din mi\u0219care. O v\u0103d cum \u00ee\u0219i mu\u0219c\u0103 buza \u0219i se uit\u0103 la mine lung. \u0218tie c\u0103 Darius vine la \u0219coal\u0103 cu pantofi rup\u021bi \u0219i c\u0103 uneori nu are pachet la pauz\u0103. \u0218tie \u0219i c\u0103 tata nu ar fi de acord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De ce vrei s\u0103 faci asta? m\u0103 \u00eentreab\u0103 ea, vocea tremur\u00e2nd u\u0219or.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 el nu are\u2026 \u0219i eu am destul. Poate dac\u0103 \u00eei dau banii mei, o s\u0103 poat\u0103 s\u0103-\u0219i cumpere ceva de m\u00e2ncare sau ni\u0219te ghete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mama ofteaz\u0103 \u0219i m\u0103 str\u00e2nge \u00een bra\u021be. \u2014 O s\u0103 vorbesc cu tata disear\u0103, promite ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seara vine cu pa\u0219i grei. Tata intr\u0103 obosit pe u\u0219\u0103, cu palmele cr\u0103pate de munc\u0103 \u0219i fa\u021ba br\u0103zdat\u0103 de griji. Mama \u00eei poveste\u0219te ce am spus. Tata ridic\u0103 vocea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu suntem noi mai boga\u021bi ca al\u021bii! De ce s\u0103 d\u0103m din pu\u021binul nostru?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dar, tati, eu vreau! Nu-mi trebuie nimic altceva! strig eu, sim\u021bind cum mi se umplu ochii de lacrimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tata m\u0103 prive\u0219te lung, apoi ofteaz\u0103 ad\u00e2nc. \u2014 Faci cum vrei, dar s\u0103 nu te a\u0219tep\u021bi s\u0103-\u021bi cump\u0103r altceva!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi, la \u0219coal\u0103, \u00eel trag pe Darius de m\u00e2nec\u0103 \u00een pauz\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ia-i! \u00eei \u00eentind plicul galben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ce-i asta? \u00eentreab\u0103 el speriat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Banii mei de ziua mea. S\u0103-\u021bi iei ceva frumos sau ceva de m\u00e2ncare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Darius m\u0103 prive\u0219te ne\u00eencrez\u0103tor. \u2014 Nu pot s\u0103-i iau\u2026 Mama zice c\u0103 nu trebuie s\u0103 cer\u0219im.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu cer\u0219e\u0219ti! Eu vreau s\u0103-\u021bi dau. Suntem prieteni!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cel v\u0103d cum \u00eei tremur\u0103 b\u0103rbia \u0219i cum \u00ee\u0219i bag\u0103 repede plicul \u00een buzunar, ru\u0219inat. \u00cen ziua aceea nu mai vorbe\u0219te cu mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seara, mama m\u0103 ia deoparte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai f\u0103cut un lucru bun azi. S\u0103 nu-\u021bi par\u0103 r\u0103u niciodat\u0103 pentru asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doua zi, la \u0219coal\u0103, doamna \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103toare ne cheam\u0103 pe to\u021bi \u00een fa\u021ba clasei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Vreau s\u0103 v\u0103 spun ceva despre Radu. El a ales s\u0103-\u0219i doneze banii de ziua lui pentru a-l ajuta pe un coleg. Asta se nume\u0219te generozitate \u0219i curaj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copiii m\u0103 privesc mira\u021bi. Unii r\u00e2d pe sub musta\u021b\u0103, al\u021bii m\u0103 bat pe um\u0103r. Darius st\u0103 cu capul plecat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 ore, doamna directoare m\u0103 cheam\u0103 la birou. Pe mas\u0103 stau c\u00e2teva pungi cu haine \u0219i rechizite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Gestul t\u0103u a impresionat pe toat\u0103 lumea. Mai mul\u021bi p\u0103rin\u021bi au adus lucruri pentru copiii care au nevoie. Ai pornit ceva frumos, Radu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen zilele urm\u0103toare, tot satul vorbe\u0219te despre mine. Unii m\u0103 laud\u0103, al\u021bii spun c\u0103 p\u0103rin\u021bii mei sunt nebuni c\u0103 m-au l\u0103sat s\u0103 dau banii. Tata e m\u00e2ndru pe ascuns, dar nu recunoa\u0219te niciodat\u0103 \u00een fa\u021ba mea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, Darius vine la mine acas\u0103 cu mama lui. Femeia pl\u00e2nge \u0219i \u00eei mul\u021bume\u0219te mamei mele pentru tot ce am f\u0103cut. Darius \u00eemi \u00eentinde o br\u0103\u021bar\u0103 \u00eempletit\u0103 din sfoar\u0103:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am f\u0103cut-o pentru tine. S\u0103-\u021bi poarte noroc!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O port \u0219i azi la m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar nu toat\u0103 lumea e fericit\u0103. Unii p\u0103rin\u021bi vin la \u0219coal\u0103 sup\u0103ra\u021bi c\u0103 \u201ese face mil\u0103\u201d de copiii lor sau c\u0103 \u201ese stric\u0103 copiii\u201d dac\u0103 primesc lucruri gratis. \u00centr-o zi \u00eel aud pe tata cert\u00e2ndu-se cu vecinul:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Copiii trebuie s\u0103 \u00eenve\u021be s\u0103 munceasc\u0103, nu s\u0103 primeasc\u0103 de poman\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Dar dac\u0103 nimeni nu-i ajut\u0103 c\u00e2nd le e greu? r\u0103spunde mama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eu stau ascuns dup\u0103 u\u0219\u0103 \u0219i m\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc: Oare am f\u0103cut bine? Oare nu am umilit pe nimeni?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o duminic\u0103, preotul vorbe\u0219te la biseric\u0103 despre fapta mea \u0219i spune c\u0103 \u201edin gura copiilor vine adev\u0103rul\u201d. Dup\u0103 slujb\u0103, b\u0103tr\u00e2nii satului m\u0103 opresc pe drum \u0219i \u00eemi dau bomboane sau m\u0103 m\u00e2ng\u00e2ie pe cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Darius \u00eencepe s\u0103 z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103 mai des. Vine la \u0219coal\u0103 cu ghete noi \u0219i pachet la pauz\u0103. Nu mai e ru\u0219inat. \u00centr-o zi \u00eemi spune:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc c\u0103 ai avut curajul pe care eu nu l-am avut niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Via\u021ba merge \u00eenainte. Unii oameni s-au schimbat, al\u021bii au r\u0103mas la fel. Dar eu \u0219tiu c\u0103 am f\u0103cut ce am sim\u021bit c\u0103 e bine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M\u0103 \u00eentreb uneori: dac\u0103 fiecare dintre noi ar face un gest mic pentru cineva aflat la nevoie, cum ar ar\u0103ta lumea noastr\u0103? Poate c\u0103 nu putem schimba totul peste noapte, dar putem aprinde o sc\u00e2nteie acolo unde e \u00eentuneric. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
