We find these young students walking and when they
heard the crying of a man; they were concerned and tried to find out
what was happening and their surprise was immense when they saw that the
crying man was one known by the name of Madman.
That man seemed to be very sad with a book in his hands, that apparently
was reading with great sorrow. He was turning page by page and his
crying sounded more as anguish.
These young students approached the man and one of them started laughing
with an almost cruel laugh, while the others asked him:
"What are you
laughing about, maybe of this poor devil?"
He laughed even more and
answered: " Haven't you realized that this madman is reading a book of
blank pages? "
" It can't be" they said, and they took the book with great curiosity,
looked at it and it was blank.
Then, they burst laughing and said to the
man: " Tell us the reason that you are crying." And the man answered: "
I cry because what this book says is true."
After hearing this, they
laughed even more.
Then, the man seemed to compose a little bit from his
crying and said: " My friends, return the book to me, maybe I can do
something to calm my crying and sadness."
And the youngsters said: " You
will not find anything. You are mad, can't you see that this book is
blank?"
The man answered; " My friends, please take some time to
read the title of this book."
They immediately did it and the title
said: " The Great Good Actions of Men towards Humanity."
