Which Way?

A friend with whom Henryk (Janusz Korczak)was walking one day was amazed by an urchin who came running after them, shouting that he anted to return the twenty KOPECKS he had received two years before. "I lied when I told you my father would kill me if I didn't come home with the money I'd lost", I've been looking for you a long time so I could give your money back.'
As the child counted out the kopecks with his grubby little fingers, Hneryk asked how many tmes he'd used that trick:

"A lot."
"Did it work?"
"Most of the time."
Have you given the money back to the others, too?"
"no"
"Then why are you giving it to me?"
'because you kissed me on the forehead. It made me feel sorry for that I did."
"was it so strange to have someone kiss you?"
"yes, my mother is dead. I don't have anyone to kiss me anymore."
"But didn;t anyone tell you that it's not good to lie and beg?"
"the priest told me it's not good to lie, but he says that to everyone."
"And was there no one else who cared enough to guide you?"
"No one" says the boy, no longer able to hold back his tears. "I have no one."

იმედგაცრუება

იმედგაცრუება,
და თითქოს ცხელი ტყვია მესროლეს გულში.
იმედგაცრუება,
მგონია მართლა მომკლეს მე გუშინ.
იმედგაცრუება,
ნახე მოემატა ჩემს სიცოცხლესაც კუში.
იმედგაცრუება,

როდის დამთავრდება ეს ტანჯვა და დარდი სულში..
