Respuesta:
In a village in Latin America, in a large house with a garden, lived a lonely man who only liked the company of his old servant.
The servant had been in his service for many years and took care of all the chores so that the house was always clean and tidy. Every morning he got up before dawn to make the beds, dust and have breakfast ready at the crack of dawn. There was no one more professional, helpful and polite than him, and for that, the master of the house respected and appreciated him very much.
One day this man, who ran a company and was always very busy, came home very upset.
- I'm very angry! I've been in meetings all morning and it's been for nothing! I'm surrounded by lazy people who don't have two fingers in the mouth!
The servant, who trusted him, tried to take the heat off the matter so that he would calm down.
- Don't worry, you'll see that the problem is not so serious and has a solution. I hate to see him come back from the office so upset, he's so red he looks like he's going to explode!
But he kept sparking, waving his hands and shouting like a madman.
- I can't, I can't, I haven't eaten for six hours and I'm starving! Serve me food right now or I'll faint!
The servant nodded his head and walked away towards the kitchen with a hurried step. Two minutes later he returned to the dining room with a large bowl of soup in his hands.
- Here is a delicious vegetable soup, your favorite. Go ahead and eat it, you'll see how good it is for you.
The gentleman sat down at the table, tied a polka-dotted napkin around his neck and dipped his spoon into the soup. As soon as he tasted it...
- Yuck, what a disgusting soup! This is inedible! There's not even a pinch of salt in it and on top of that, it's freezing cold!
That was the straw that broke the camel's back; he got up and in a fit of rage, grabbed the plate and threw it out of the window.
At first the servant did not know what to think or what to do, but he reacted immediately; he silently approached the table, took the bread, the wine, the napkin, the cutlery and the tablecloth, and threw them out of the window with so much enthusiasm that they went through half the garden.
The man's shouts echoed throughout the house.
- What are you doing, you good-for-nothing! How dare you throw away my belongings? Who do you think you are?
The servant, without losing his calm, looked him in the eyes and answered:
- Excuse me, sir, but I didn't mean to do anything wrong. Since you threw the soup out the window, I took it for granted that you wanted to dine in the garden, so I have just done the same as you: I have thrown everything necessary for you to enjoy your meal under the trees. Outside you have the bread, wine, napkin, cutlery and tablecloth at your disposal.
The master felt very embarrassed because he knew that his servant and old friend only wanted to show him how ugly his behavior had been.
- I'm sorry, I'm very sorry... Because of my nerves I behaved like an irrational being, rude and full of arrogance. I hope you will forgive me.
The servant smiled with satisfaction and went over to give her a hug. There was never again an unpleasant situation between them and they continued to respect each other for the rest of their lives.
