What should I be happy about? you ask. That you live, that you are, that you are immortal. To enjoy fresh water, bread, rain and warm sun. And the snow, and the ice, and the fact that you are strong, and if tomorrow everything is washed away by the river, you will still be able to pull yourself together. If necessary, from scratch. That the endless sky is above your head - and beyond what you can no longer see with your eyes, there is your country.

Hungarian

"

Minek örüljek? – kérded. Annak, hogy élsz, hogy vagy, hogy halhatatlan vagy. Annak, hogy jólesik a friss víz, a kenyér, az eső és a meleg nap. És a hó, és a jég, és annak, hogy erős vagy, és ha holnap mindenedet elsodorja az ár, akkor is képes vagy összeszedni magad. Ha kell, a semmiből. Annak, hogy a végtelen égbolt van a fejed felett - és azon túl, amit szemmel már nem látsz, ott a hazád.

"

Romanian

"

De ce ar trebui să fiu fericit? - mă intrebi. Pentru că trăiești, pentru că ești, pentru că ești nemuritor. Că te bucuri de apă proaspătă, de pâine, de ploaie și de soarele cald. Și de zăpadă și de gheață, și că ești puternic, iar dacă mâine tot ce ai va fi măturat de maree, tot vei fi capabil să te ridici. De nicăieri, dacă va fi nevoie. Că ai cerul infinit deasupra capului tău - și că dincolo de ceea ce nu poți vedea cu ochii tăi, există patria ta.
