EL PUENTE FRATERNO
Había una vez dos hermanos, Tomás y
Javier, que vivían uno al frente del otro
en dos casas de una hermosa campiña.
Por problemas pequeños, que se fueron
haciendo grandes con el tiempo, los
hermanos dejaron de hablarse y evitaban
cruzarse en el camino.
Cierto día llegó a una de las casas
un carpintero y le preguntó a uno de los
hermanos si tendría trabajo para él.
Tomás le contestó:
—¿Ve usted esa madera que estácerca de aquel riachuelo? Pues la he
cortado recientemente. Mi hermano
Javier vive al frente y, a causa de
nuestra enemistad, desvió ese arroyo
para separamos definitivamente. Así que
yo no quiero ver más su casa. Le dejo el
encargo de hacerme una cerca muy alta
que me evite la vista del frente.
Tomás se fue al pueblo y no regresó
sino hasta bien entrada la noche.
Cuál no sería su sorpresa cuando, en
vez de una cerca, encontró que el
hombre había hecho un hermoso puente
que unía las dos partes de la campiña.
Sin poder hablar, de pronto se vio al
frente de su hermano, que en ese
momento estaba atravesando el puentecon una sonrisa:
—Tomás, hermano mío, no puedo
creer que hayas sido tú el que haya
hecho el puente, habiendo sido yo el que
te ofendió. Vengo a pedirte perdón.
Y los dos hermanos se abrazaron.
Cuando Tomás se dio cuenta de que
el carpintero se alejaba, le dijo:
—Buen hombre, ¿cuánto te debo?
¿Por qué no te quedas?
—No, gracias —contestó el
carpintero—. ¡Tengo muchos puentes
que construir!
¿Cuántas veces podemos ayudar a
perdonar y servir de puentes?
