Sotto la terra, minuscoli germogli si risvegliano—portando con sé speranze, pazienza e la promessa di nuovi inizi. Con l’avvicinarsi del mattino, questi piccoli germogli crescono senza farsi vedere, ricordando ai bambini che il cambiamento non avviene sempre in modo rumoroso o tutto insieme. A volte il coraggio cresce lentamente. La gentilezza mette radici con dolcezza. E la fiducia sboccia quando ci viene dato tempo e cura.

Le jour où les cartes de la Saint-Valentin se sont enfuies. La Saint-Valentin commence comme n’importe quel autre jour… jusqu’au moment où les cartes frémissent, les chocolats roulent, et les cœurs s’enfuient soudain sur de minuscules pieds de papier. Alors qu’un enfant curieux se met à courir à travers le quartier, quelque chose de surprenant se produit. Les valentins en fuite ne disparaissent pas du tout. Au contraire, ils répandent sourires, rires et gentillesse partout où ils passent — se glissant dans des poches, flottant dans les rues et trouvant le chemin de mains prêtes à les recevoir.

Der Valentinstag beginnt wie jeder andere – bis die Karten wackeln, die Pralinen rollen und die Herzen plötzlich auf winzigen Papierfüßen davonflitzen. Als ein neugieriges Kind durch die Nachbarschaft hinterherjagt, geschieht etwas Überraschendes. Die ausgebüxten Valentinskarten verschwinden gar nicht. Stattdessen verteilen sie überall, wo sie hinkommen, Lächeln, Lachen und Freundlichkeit – sie landen in Taschen, schweben durch die Straßen und finden ihren Weg in wartende Hände.
