My dear seeds,
Once upon a time there was a very old lady, she was an old lady, very old, very old, who died and when she died she went straight to hell. And when she went to hell, of course, she didn't want to go, and was looking at everything that was in hell and she was fighting not to get there. She didn't want to go, she didn't want to, but she was going, and she got to hell.
And you know, my dear seeds, that we have a Guardian Angel and her Guardian Angel said:
I want to help her, I want to help her! I am going to see God, I am going to see him and I am going to speak to him.
They then presented themselves before God and said:
Merciful God, I am going to ask you to do a favour, this woman who has already left, who is already dead and is in hell, did a charitable deed, did a kindness, help her, give her a chance, I ask you, I beg you, I am her Guardian Angel.
God looked at him and said:
Very well, since you asked for it, it will be granted to her. Where is she now?
She is in hell.
Very well, but you have to tell me what charitable deed she has done on earth before she died, because I know she has been selfish, absent-minded, she did not take care of others, she thought more about herself, she did not even care about flowers, she let the little trees die, the flowers were left dry, nothing mattered to her, if something was out of place as she passed by, she left it, nothing mattered to her.
They say, but God, I'm her Guardian Angel and I want you to give her a chance!
Well, I repeat again:
Tell me the deed of kindness that she did in her life, you have told me that she only did one of hers.
Yes, please, once there was a person who was very hungry, very hungry and was in misery and he asked her to help him and she, who was pulling the onions, gave him an onion and then that man took the onion that she gave him and he ate and it helped him.
Very well! Very well! It seems to me that she did a good deed, a good charity work. Well, look, I'm going to give you an onion and you're going to give it to her, if that lady wants, she'll take the onion and then I'll pull hard and pull her out of hell, but you have to give it to her:
Yes Yes! She told him: yes!
God gave him an onion and he went to hell
But the Guardian Angel spoke to her and said: Old woman, you have a chance to get out of hell,
I want it! I want it! I want it!
The angel says, here I give you this onion, because one day you made this gesture of kindness, and then they threw the onion at her.
And the old woman grabbed the onion, she grabbed it so hard, the Guardian Angel began to pull and the old woman was starting to come out, out, but they didn't think that when they pulled, all the souls grabbed hold of her, and that she didn't think about it and all the souls took hold of her and began to pull, to pull, to pull. And they pulled so hard that the onion was cut in two and that half fell back into hell, she and all those souls that were in hell, they all fell back into hell.
Then the Guardian Angel said: it can't be, I've tried, I've tried to get her out of there, I've done everything I could, and she heard a voice that told her:
My friends, we always have to take away a lesson and the lesson is that we still think too much about ourselves, that we don't remember, that we prefer to throw away food scraps before thinking about whether someone needs them on the street, that we don't remember clothes that we have too much, that we do not think about the plants that give us life and joy, those beautiful flowers that give us their aroma, their perfume and their essence.
How little it costs to give a smile and how much that warmth is worth to all those around us and those who live far away, a word, a chat, a simple: how are you? I was thinking of you. I send you a smile, may your heart always be full of joy and love, for you and to share.
With all my love,
Your Jardinera.
