UN AMIGO QUE DURA
(Translation follows)
Una Señorita tenía un perro al que quería mucho; pero un día el animal enfermó y al poco tiempo murió.
La muchacha se puso muy triste ; se sentía muy sola sin su perro, pero en eso llego una amiga a quien ella amaba con todo su corazón, y en su compañía se sintió contenta;, se consoló de la perdida del perro que había sido su fiel guardián; pero la amiga contrajo una grave enfermedad que le costo la vida, y la aflicción de la muchacha fue tan grande que ni hallaba consuelo.
Para distraerse un poco salía a su jardín donde tenia un rosal muy hermoso, para colmo de su tristeza noto que su planta estaba marchita y seca.
Entonces, casi con desesperación lloraba y se quejaba de su triste suerte diciendo: "Nada me dura; se murió mi perro fiel, mi amada amiga se fue al viaje de donde no se vuelve, y ahora mi bello rosal se ha secado."
En una de tantas veces un Señor que la oyó quejarse de su mala suerte le dijo: "Señorita, usted no conoce a JesuCristo, un amigo que nunca muere; en su compañía hay placeres que nunca se acaban.
Es verdad que todas las cosas de esta vida se acaban; pero las cosas del Señor Jesús duran para siempre."
TRANSLATION:
HARD TO A FRIEND
A lady had a dog who loved her, but one day the animal became ill and soon died.
The girl was very sad, she felt very lonely without her dog, but why get a friend whom she loved with all his heart, and his company was pleased;, was consoled for the loss of the dog that had been his faithful guardian, but the friend contracted a serious illness that cost him his life, and the girl's distress was so great that neither was comfort.
To distract a bit out to the garden where he had a very beautiful rose, to crown his sadness I feel that his plant was withered and dry.
Then, almost desperately crying and complaining about their plight, saying: "Nothing lasts, my faithful dog died, my beloved friend went to travel where no return, and now my beautiful rose has withered."
In one of many times a Lord who heard her complain about her bad luck said: "Miss, you do not know Jesus Christ, a friend who never dies in your company is never-ending pleasure.
It is true that everything in this life is over, but things of the Lord Jesus last forever. "
