This is the story of Zen, a very unique creature. He who was feeling a little bit sad ….

         God realised that and called him to have a chat.

         God asked him why he was so sad. He then explained:

         - No one notices me; no one pays attention to me when I walk.

         Then God said,

         - How so?

         Zen then explained:

         - The bird Tito lives flying over my head, but acts as if I don’t exist. The trees also drop their leaves on me, but never apologise. This makes me feel extremely sad.

         God, in His infinite goodness, decided to give him a very special and important gift. This gift would serve as his castle; his home for a little while.

         This is divided into compartments; each compartment is responsible for keeping some of the pieces together and each piece has to fulfil a task.

         But God reminded Zen he is responsible for maintaining the order in his own home; after all, the castle belongs to him.

         God made a point of saying several times to Zen the importance of taking good care of his gift. That’s how our friend got a body and started to look after it since it’s his greatest treasure.
