The next day
In the square...
— Where are these people? Me, Nestor, can't accept that… — Nestor stops talking and takes a deep breath. — James says to be careful with your toungue. Look here muttering... Sorry, I made a mistake and I'm going to make an effort not to make more mistakes.
— Good Morning! Mr. Nestor, the boys asked me to tell you that today your meeting will be at Miss Nany's house.
— Uh?!
— Let's go? — Mr. Nestor follows Rosie to Miss Nany's house. When he arrives, his friends sing congratulations to him.
— You remembered my birthday.
— And we have a present.
— More food?
— We got a place at the Rehabilitation Center for Acoolatra.
— Thank you very much!!!
A week later
In the bandstand in the square...
— Frank, we're going to be able to visit Mr. Nestor.
— No. They found Mr. Nestor's ex-wife.
— She's going to visit him.
— Yes.
— Good Morning! — Miss Nany greets them.
— Good Morning!
— I finished James. Help me understand James 5.
— Yes.
— How does gold rust?
— The pastor explained it to us. That only rusts the buried metal. That this metal is our talent. If my talent and Joe's is serving at the altar. We have to be there and not hiding in the back of the Church.
Everyone has a talent. Some keep it to themselves, others put it into service and multiply the works of God and others still haven't discovered their talent.
— I understood. And we have to have the farmer's patience to multiply these talents.
— Exactly!
— Swear not, for you have no power in the future. Do not murmur, for it does not solve anything. What resolves is action. If you don't have the strength, ask for help. Pray, sing, repent, and ask the priest for help.
— That!
— In my religion there is no priest.
— And how do you confess?
— We don't confess. That's what I was seeing here. You can explain the confession to me.
— The priest explained to us that Jews counted all their sins to a goat. This goat listened to all Jews. So this goat was sacrificed.
— Jesus, was sacrificed and absolved us of all our sins. He set us free. And when we remember all this at Mass. We are being released again. But we need to tell someone about our sin. — Completes Joe.
— And the priest doesn't tell anyone?
— No. After he absolves you he forgets. Confessed sin, erased sin.
— After reading James I found out that everything I believed goes against God's will.
— Then convert! — The priest says.
— And what do I do with the orphanage?
— I can use the academy's profit to take care of him. —Judas says.
— Knowing Jesus converts. You never go back the way you came. — The pastor says.
— Thanks for the support. — They study Proverbs and then Miss Nany will go to confession.
A week before christmas
In the square...
— Joe, how many cookies did you sell?
— Ten packages and you?
— Nine. A girl suggested that we sell chocotone.
— Would be great!
— Mr. Nestor! — The boys hug him.
— We put your things away.
— I don't need them anymore. But my friends do.
— Wooff! Wooff!
— Drop! My old friend. — He pets the puppy.
— Are you not going to live on the street anymore?
— Not! I'm going to live in a house paying rent to Judas. I'm going to work at the Rehabilitation Clinic.
— What are you going to do?
— To be a doctor. I am a trained cardiologist. I thought that because I was an alcoholic I would never practice the profession again.
— But now go! Congratulations Mr. Nestor!
— Thank you boys. My ex-wife gave me all my books I wanted to give you the literature ones.
— Yeaaaaah!!!
The end
