Description
There is a child who wants to grow up and enter the adult world, but does not know which path to take to reach his goal. So, before he begins his journey of discovery, the Master gives him some pebbles that the Child should always keep with him and be careful not to lose, because each pebble is a principle of life, a starting point that allows us to remember who we are and where we are going. The Child slips his hand into an amphora and picks out the five brightest pebbles:BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU DO; BE KIND; BE PERSISTENT; BE LOYAL; BE COURAGEOUS.
The Child enters the jungle, but from the beginning he is disoriented: there are too many paths and he just doesn't know which one to take. He goes along several paths, but each time he comes back unsatisfied. Until he meets a wise deer who invites him not to be in a hurry, but to carefully evaluate what he has, because only then he can understand what he really needs. The Master who encourages the child to raise his eyes to the sky and watch a majestic eagle. Everyone can be free and fly as high as eagle does even without wings, provided one knows how to embrace lightness.
On the rocky path of a plateau, the child comes across a rhino. This animal taught him about LOYALTY. Once he has greeted the rhino, the Child has to cross a river and he is afraid. Fortunately, an otter appears to encourage him not to stop and to believe he can make it. One cannot be brave without being afraid, because fear makes us better, prepares us to face difficulties.
Busy climbing a high mountain, the Child realises that he has lost his principles of life. Fortunately, an eagle takes him up, helps him find the pebbles and gives him access to a different point of view.
The journey has come to an end, the Child has grown up (brave,
persistent, loyal, kind, self-confident), but this does not mean that he has nothing more to learn. On the contrary, the world is vast and full of opportunities to grow.
