Am r\u0103mas f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte. \u00cen timp ce poli\u021bi\u0219tii se uitau unul la altul, b\u0103tr\u00e2nul s-a aplecat spre un acvariu mic, cu pe\u0219ti\u0219ori aurii, \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 le vorbeasc\u0103 bl\u00e2nd, ca unui copil.<\/p>\n
\u2014 I-am salvat din r\u00e2urile secate\u2026 din locurile unde oamenii arunc\u0103 gunoaie. Dac\u0103 nu i-a\u0219 fi luat eu, ar fi murit to\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Am privit \u00een jur \u0219i am \u00een\u021beles. Toat\u0103 apa aceea nu era pentru el. Era pentru micile lui vie\u021bi, pe care le hr\u0103nea \u0219i le \u00eengrijea cu o dedicare care dep\u0103\u0219ea orice \u00eenchipuire.<\/p>\n
