Once upon a time there was a
villain who was so thoroughly evil that he devised a plan to destroy every
important thing in the world. His name was Millisphore, and, helped by his
great machines and inventions, he managed to ruin everything. After that, he
created a potion that robbed people of their desire to work. He also managed to
infect everyone with such a smelly gas that they preferred to stay at home
rather than go out and risk meeting anyone.
When things had reached the point
where the entire world had been spoilt, Millisphore saw that only one more
thing stood in his way in his desire for complete domination, and this one
thing was the family. Despite all his evil inventions, his potions and his
gases, it seemed that families were still sticking together. What bothered him
most was that all the families were resisting him, no matter how many people
were in each one, where they lived, or how they spent their time.
He tried making the houses
smaller, but the families just lived closer together in less space. He also
destroyed food, but the families just shared what little they had. And so he
continued with his wicked deeds against the last thing on the whole planet that
still resisted him, but nothing was working.
Finally he discovered the secret
to the strength of every family: they loved each other, and there was no way to
change that. Though he tried to invent something to destroy this love,
Millisphore never managed it. Sad and annoyed at not having managed to dominate
the world, he gave up and let everything return to normality.
The evil Millisphore ended up so
depressed that all he could think of to do was go crying to his parents’ house
and tell them what had happened. And, despite all the wicked deeds he had done,
his parents ran out to embrace him. They forgave him, and encouraged him to be
good.
And so it is that even the family
of the most wicked will love him and forgive him anything! And aren’t we
fortunate to have a family?
The family has such strength
because it is united by love, and this is why the family accepts and forgives a
thousand times.
