Quote by Paulo Coelho
English (Source)
Before I closed my eyes for good, I heard my mother's voice. He told me a story that he had told me many times when I was a child, but I had no idea it was about me. "A boy and a girl fell madly in love with each other," I heard my mother's voice on the verge of dream and delusion. "They decided to get engaged. Betrothed always give each other gifts, but the boy was poor: all he had was the watch he inherited from his grandfather. He thought of his beloved's beautiful hair and decided to sell the watch so that he could buy a a beautiful silver hair clip. The girl had no money for a gift either. So she went to the biggest merchant in the village and sold her hair. And with the price she bought a gold chain for her lover's watch. When they met, on the day of the engagement, the girl gave the boy the chain for the watch, which it was sold, and the boy gave the girl the hairpin, which had no place to fasten it."
