I woke up in a deep silence, when I opened my eyes after that storm, I did not

know what was around me; everything was new to me, nothing was like what

was remembered, there was nothing ... I was alone, with no one. Those mighty

thick-stemmed trees weren't there, you could hardly see where they were the

night before, there was only earth moving and holes everywhere. Frightened,

alone, stupefied, I began to scream, and to cry.

Suddenly and without knowing where and why, I heard a voice -that gaveseveral

voices that reached my ears, communicated but could not be seen, my

eyes and ears did not locate the sounds, but they continued, saying beautiful

things , encouraging (- "Where is she, that's fine; you're not alone, we're with

you-); but where did the voices come from? I was alone, there was nothing

around, there was no presence of life around me! Where did the voices come

from? And the answer was not long. The few leaves I had were missing, my skin

was free and with nothing to cover it. Look at my thin trunk, small and without

much to offer, but how was it? Was that possible? My friends, the tall and thick

ones were not there, the storm had ripped them away, and instead I, the weak

and frail, was there, without my mother, bald, without leaves, but there I was.

What? And the voices? Where did they come from?
