And he was asked: " You are the last one of all these people afflicted by losses and they have showed us official proof; if you are a liar or a thief , it will be much better for you to leave, otherwise, you will be punished." And that man said: " Many people have judged me the same way that you are doing now. I am not as the others and I have not come for the money being offered, but to tell you and show you what is a true loss." He then, took the withered flower and showing it as if it was a sword, said these words: " This is my proof, this flower was of a gold color, even more than the sun at noon time. She was my light in the darkness, she was the torch that allowed me to see beyond the darkness but one day, this flower abandoned me, withered, and my illusion, my heart, my hope, my happiness, my smile left with her." After saying these words she placed the flower against his chest and left the town square. And that day everybody understood that the greater losses are not the ones of the world but the ones of the heart.
