“A bruised reed will not break and a smouldering wick will not snuff out, till he leads justice to victory.” Matthew 12:20
Mario Stanley was born with a psychophysical handicap. He started the school later and he was always calling the attention of others by his strange behaviour. When the teacher told his parents that would be good to transfer the boy to another school, they started crying and explained that it will be such a great shock for their child. So he remained a bit longer in the same class.
Easter was close and the entire class received a task to do: a plastic flower bud and to put something inside in order to suggest the idea of a new beginning. The Mario’s bud was empty, so the teacher was thinking that is a mistake and decided not to present it to class and to avoid any confusion. But the boy asked the teacher:
“Lady, what about my bud?”
“But. Mario, it is empty!”
He looked into her eyes and replied: “But the grave of Jesus was empty too.”
