„Do you like our place?“ asked Don.
„Oh, yea, it's… interesting.“ replied she. „But what's the use of
it?“
„This is our secret place where we are trying to find something what could
help unhappy people all over the world. But unfortunatelly we haven't found
anything yet and the World is in great danger. We must find something
soon.“
„I see…“
Hope looked a little puzzled. She didn't understand what were they looking for.
It was like they could find a liquid or pills which could people swallow and
everything would be ok. It seemed to be quite silly for her.
They went to a little man who was stirring dark red boiling liquid in a pot.
„What are you looking for?“ Hope asked him.
„I'm looking for lost understanding.“
„Lost understanding?“ Hope looked at him. „What does it mean?“
„It means that people don't understand each other. It means that they can hear
but they don't listen to what others say.“
The man gazed at her and gesticulated so furiously that she was almost afraid of
him. But then, all at once, he went back to his work and started stirring and
watching the liquid again.
