"Four Candles"

Four candles were burning in a room and slowly melting…
It was very silent in the room,and easy to hear their talk.

The first candle told: "I am Calmness. Unfortunately, people do not able to keep me, and, I think, it will be better I will stop giving light. And the candle went out.

The second candle said: "I am Belief. Nowadays people don't consider me to be important, they do not wish to listen about me, therefore there is no sense to me to burn further "
A light breeze blown, and has put out the candle.

Then the third candle has said: "I am Love. People do not appreciate and don't value me anymore, sometimes they even hate what/whom they loved the most." After saying that the third candle also went out.

Suddenly, a child came into the room. He has afraid from darkness and started to cry.

The fourth candle said to him: " Please don't cry! While I am alive and burning, it is always possible to light on all other candles ... I am Hope".
