Books that have enriched my teacher soul. Part Two

The extremely shy brunette girl approached the stage when her name was mentioned. Yes, she had won "the best student award" that year; a difficult year for her altough she did not know that at the time. . . 

Looking down, all blushed, she took the gift. It was a book; everyone knew that, but what she did not know was that that book would touch her heart for ever. . . 

Back in her seat, she unwrapped the gift and there it was Ami, a warm-hearted, wise and strange boy. With each turn of the page, the girl was fascinated by him, his words and his teaching. 

Ami was not an ordinary character for the girl. He was a secret friend; always present the moment she opened the book and ready to fill her heart with pure thoughts. 

That girl is in her mid thirties now and still smiles whenever one of Ami's sharings come to her mind. Those words comforted her and not only did they keep her company but also spread to her two loving sisters' hearts. 

I believe that a teacher's heart is made up of thousand of treasures, experiences and anecdotes. Ami and the book he is in are definitely one of my cherrished companies. 

Do you treasure a book like that? Please, share your comments.
