Cliffs

A wise old man standing up there, on the cliffs, thinking about all his life and mistakes. Everything he did wrong, everything he did right. A sad and honorable man, feeling blue, wanted to jump to the dark and cold waters to disappear forever into the ocean. I couldn't understand why. I could not understand what the problem was with him. I managed to take him to a tabern. We had some drink and we talked a lot. This man was a honorable teacher, teaching from wrong to right. His wife squeezed him to get the best juice from him. His daughters were abducted by an evil mum, while he had no chance. He was standing up on the cliffs, watching the waves, watching the cold sea, ready to jump. I told him to come with me, I told him, I will be all ears for him to be listened to. An old teacher, an old man taught me a lesson. A young teacher told him another lesson. We all have to learn, from old and young people. By the way, he didn't jump in the end. Now we are friends, we talk a lot on the cliffs, watching the sea in its mood. We have our way.
